Raleigh, May 13.-Commlssloner of
Agriculture w. Kerr Scott today put
in plug for observance of Cotton
Week" in North Carolina.
The number two cash CROP re-
mains the king of the States great
textile industry and the united eff
forts of merchants, industrialists and
consumers to promote the use of cot
ton products will return handsome
dividends, he said.
Of Cotton Week., which will be
observed May % to 27, Scott said:
"This promotional period must be
extended if North Carolina is to re-
main in the cotton business, and
there is reason enough why state
Well-equipped with textile plants
should continue the demand for cot
ton-a product which furnishes en-
ployment for thousands and con-
tributes enormously to the wealth
of the state"
He pointed out that cotton brought
more than ST., 100000 to North Car
olina farmers last year though the
staple was selling at cOnspicuouSly
low prices. There are in the state
thousands of farmers who are still
growing at a profit, he added.
president Roosevelt has said that
a third of the nation is ill-clothed,
and so long as cotton can be pro-
duced economically in North Caro-
lima, our farmers have natural ad-
vantages for producing raw mater
ials needed to correct one of our
great economic ills," the commits
sioner said.
He praised merchants for show
ing keen interest in promoting the
use of cotton products, but en-
phasiZed that ''it is fundamental that
all citizens and cotton interests unite
to help the farmer increase his own
income and promote the prosperity
of the State by the use of cotton and
cotton products that can be purchas-
ed to the economic advantage of the
individual as well as the industry.

The Farm and Home Agents were |
in High Point three days this week
attending Northwestern District Con-
ference. The Land Use Program was
discussed at length during the con-
ference. MIR. John Harris, Extension
Landscape Specialist made time
ly talk and showed interesting pic
lures on beatufying home grounds.
He stressed the three most impOr-
tant things that come first when we
start to improve our home surround
ings. They are as follows: an under
pinned house, a grassy lawn and
some shade trees. After this is done
we then should begin our plant
ing. Mr. Harris told story at the
conference that he told to Vance
county women on his recent visit
here. but it is worth repeating. The
story goes that one day farmer go
ing out from town asked ride from
a stranger. When they came to very
run down, dilapidated farm house
with tractor and farming imple-
ments in the front yard, the front
gate hanging on one hinge, ETC., the
stranger asked his passenger if he
knew who lived there-making the
remark that the person must be very
lazy. He replied that he did, but
didn't acknowledge that it was his
own home as he was ashamed Of it.
After riding down the road for two
miles the passenger asked to get out,
saying that he could walk the short
distance to his home Walking down
the road he began to get angry, feel
ing that the stranger had insulted
him. But when he got to his home
he really saw it for the first time,
He then determined to improve the
looks of the place SO he would never
| again be ashamed to say where he
| lived. The next morning everybody
on the farm was put to work. All
the farm machinery was put under
a shed in the rear, an old fence re-
I moved, soil was hauled to build uI
the yard and grass sowed, repairs
/; were made to the k--..A and it was

place so much that the next year the
same salesman going by saw the i'm
provements made and stopped to see
if he didn't get on the wrong road
