FARM PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS IN
HENDERSON ... r.. g..

A DuDlC Statement TeCeuLIy HoO0 ~ O-'~
Of Hendersonville's leading dirt farmers
and most prominent farm leaders impresses
The Times-News with the magnitude and
meaning of the farm development program
in this county The statement was to the
effect that Henderson county has made
more progress in farming in the past ten
years than any other North Carolina coun-
tv and that within the next few years farm
ing will displace the tourist business as the
number one industry or business OF the
county.
This newspaper believes there is sound
basis of facts for the opinions of this citi-
zen. Some times a note of encouragement
is sounded in regard to the county's adj
vancement in agriculture; and it is true
that accompanying the evidence of prog
ress are evidences of conditions which pro-
mote feelings of encouragement; but when
farming conditions are considered as a
whole, it must be admitted there is much
weight to the evidence upon which the citi-
zen referred to bases conclusions.
Many times this newspaper has pointed
out facts and figures indicating real prog
ress in the building up of the agricultural
interests of the county. On every side in
the country districts may be seen these evil
dences of progress. 1t is shown in improved
methods of farming, in improved farms
and farm homes, in better and more eff
cient conditions of production and market
ing, and in increased returns for the bust
ness of farming.
Certainly, Henderson county has made
notable progress in farming in the past ten
years; but the present outlook is for con-
tinued and greater progress in the years
Immediately in the future. Perhaps after
another decade has passed our people will
look back to the present with the thought
that it was actually the beginning point of
farm development.
One certainty in connection with farm
ing in the county is that the possibilities of
production in nearly all cases are, much
greater than present achievements or ex-
pectations. II is possible to vastly increase
the rate of production of all crops. The
land in cultivation can be improved and
made to produce much larger crops than it
is producing at present. Other land can
be brought into cultivation. Thus the total
production of the county can be estimated
to be at some future date many times the
present production.
The outlook for the future of farming is
such as to greatly encourage farmers and
their friends (the latter, other classes of
citizens directly and indirectly interested
in vital way in the success of the farm
ers) and to give the people generally a
new and enlarged understanding and view
Of the place of agriculture as business or
industry in this county.

" breathing spell in the rela-
tons between the government and
business may not last as long as
was anticipated by those who
know the mind of the President.
If it doesn't the left-wingers in
the administration ought to stand
in a rising vote of thanks to Mr..
Bernard M. Baruch.
Mr.. Roosevelt, as reported in
these dispatches, had reached a
point where he was taking the adj
vice of those who said he should
say nothing and do nothing to
disturb business" He appears to
have felt that IL was up to busi-
ness to lay off lambaSting the adj
ministration, too. At any rate,
Baruch's testimony before the
Senate Unemployment Committee
made the President hopping mad.
"Only the, headlines,"' said F.
ID. r. casually when asked if he
had read Baruch's testimony. But
the headlines had told him that
Baruch had vigorously slammed
New Deal policies and blamed
them for the current depression.
1t appeared that Baruch, al
though somewhat vague as to
economic remedies, had come
about as near calling the present
economic unpleasantness s'Roose-
welt recession" as anyone could
without using the exact words.
Roosevelt hates the phrase and
the implication. New Dealers
quickly insisted to him that the
gist of the benign, ipatriafchal
Baruch's testimony was that Ba-
ruch didn't want to pay such high
taxes. - ''--'-'-- -....

A THRILL: Do you remember

A THRILL: Do you remember
the first time you occupied a bed
room with electric lights therein?
Something different, Ell! And did
YOU find running water, not and
cold, therein? The majority of
readers of this will wildly recall
those days of an experience worth
while. This thought is prompted
by the statement Of farmer to-
day who probably doesn't have
the conveniences of lights and
water in his home but who told
me that he was to spend the night
with relative whose name indi-
Gated he resided in one Of the
better residential sections and
homes Of Hendersonville. Prob
ably he has been housed more
comfortably at times but the
thought is that he was welcomed
and made to feel Eat home" as
much as possible, where no cock
announced the break Of day; no
whinny horse told him it was
feeding time and no cow lowed
for feed IN reward Ton winch She
was ready to yield food for man
and beast.
Have you ever had a relative. or
friend not accustomed to the Or
binary modern home conveniences
to enjoy your hospitality? Have
you ever rejected an invitation to
enjoy such? If you receive such
an invitation beforehand, pre-
arranged so as to lead you to be-
lieve it is genuine, accept it and
life will be just a little different
and your memories vii lbe sweet
er and your associations little
richer.

When the opening lead was made, he realized that his best chance of fulfilling a very doubtful contract lay in preventing East from winning a trick.
 The preference for no trump is explained by the greater score for a fulfilled contract, but when the opening lead revealed the worthless hearts, South saw that he would be lucky to avoid a set. He won the first trick with the ace when East put up the king. He then played for what appeared to be his best chance.
 He led low diamond to dummy, winning with the queen. and re- turned low spade. When East played low, the ten was tinessed, and the spade ace led. When both followed, he was sure of six spade tricks. Now, if he could bring home four diamonds, the contract was safe. The ace of diamonds was

played, and a low diamond led to the king. Dummy's four spades and long diamond were cashed.
 Meanwhile West, who had count ed on holding the contract to six even after the lucky spade play, was squeezed. AS he was forced to hold a heart to cover dummy's eight, he had to discard all of his clubs but the king. Then South cashed the last two tricks with the ace and queen of clubs, making not six, but seven.

This con- sideration often dictates the way in which 8 finesse is to be taken sometimes even the suit in which the finesse shall be taken, when there is a choice of illnesses in two suits. In today's hand, South had little leeway, as he was in a con- tract to take all of the tricks but one, and faced a situation where he had many possibilities of losing tricks.
