County farmers fail to wax enthusiastic over the cries of revolt I'tnauating from tht corn belt of the West, This much appeared from preliminary survey made within the past week. Indeed, the prevailing sentiment throughout Western Nor lit Caro-'na i'ems to be that the frirtneiM are able lo olr their own problems wit lion govern men I help.

A few, but very Tew. of the local fanners look with favor upon the agitations that wmild link the disgruntled agriculturists of the west wllh I he farmers of the south In an effort to finvo legislative action ill Congress. The announcement a few days ago of the amazing progress and virility of the rarmers Federation hern lends strength to the views of many ftiniieis that the solution to the farm ills which are vexing the nation lies through the pathway of co-openu inn. Within six years the local federation has jumped from one meiuhei-st ock-bolder to over 17fa stockholders. liiislncss done by the federation in i the same period has jumped front in Hi 'Jo to over $7 0(1 for I he first six months of I Conservative estimates point lo at least a million and a quarter vol- ume for lhi jcar.

Is the only prop- i er nietiiod of business ndnilnistra- i lion in an age that must supply a tremendous population. What has been wrong, nnd Is wrong in the main with American agriculture, alley admit, Is that the farmer has never learned to bo ji business man.
