SHEEP RAISING IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA

A practical question for North Caro-
lima has long been and still IL sheep
raising. It has been to US a matter for
establishment that the public men of
the past did not appreciate more this
really very important industry and 50
shape legislation as to foster and pro-
tect it. Not to give 1t protective
bounties. but to shield it from the de-
structive, wandering dogs that live,
like 50 many men live. by plunderinS
others. We cannot doubt that with
proper laws to encourage sheep raising
that it would 500 become one OF the
most remunerative and important Of
all North Carolina industries. At any
rate we would be glad to see this done.
for the actual advantages to the people
and the capabilities of the state in that
direction can never been a~scertained
until j%udicious and brave legislation

such purchases a. they might wish to
make; and the European countries. un-
able to sell US sugar.. would turn their
attention largely to the production OF
such agricultural products - they are
now taking from US"
There may be a good deal in that
statement. Surprising It well based on
actual facts 1t Is we'll to be cautious
here. But 1t IS a great reproach and
outrage that the republicans nave
placed a tax OF from so to 100 per a
as Mr.. Atkins says. upon foreign sugars
that an industry now an infant should
be fostered, and may never grow with
all bounties given. beyond an infant,
"mewling and puking in the nurses
arms" It will not be wise. il Mr.. At
kins statement Is to be trusted. for
southern farmers to go into q business
to be successful measurably must be
bounty supported. and that may sacri-
fice the other farm products in 80 far
as the foreign sugar producing soun

sugar nay NC " 6AA up W SANAA
markets nov receiving largely Of their
products. But the south is not half sc
much interested in this view Of the
markets as the west Is with Its great
excess Of wheat. corn, beef. pork etc.
Mr.. Atkins says:
"And will not a policy OF extreme pro-
lection, to stimulate the production OF
sugar in our country. a upon US
abroad another year, when, encouraged
by present high prices, our production
Of grain may be excessive and our pro-
ducers most in need of foreign mar
kets?
These are questions to be carefully
considered by both our statesmen and
our investors; for, II our proposed beet
sugar industry be fostered to an un-
natural growth through continued ex-
cessive government protection. our
foreign commerce may become involved
in most serious complications, and Jul
farmers may be obliged to pass through
another period Of depressed prices for
their products, such as that from which
they are just emerging"
Economic questions are difficult of
handling with wisdom, foresight, grasp
of the whole outlying situation. 1t is
very easy for greed to cut Its own
throat. We do not believe in any econ
omic system based upon immortality.
upon wrong doing that good may re-
suit. To Cypress sixty-fve millions
that five other millions may be enriched
is rascally and robbery. Such is a high
protection tariff-an Infamous scheme Of
plumber and gouging. If the sugar beet
can be made only profitable by a heavy
high robber tax hen let it go. If it
will close up great markets to the farm
ers then 1t is not desirable. That the
south-or much OF it-can produce the
beet in the quantities produced in Ger
many, according to reports We have
read. we do not doubt.

Mrs. Cornelia P. Spencer, formerly Of
Chapel Hill. but for some years a resi-
dent in Boston, wrote recently to q pa
per we never heard of, the Gastonia
Grocer, as follows:
Il had a letter from Statesville the
other day telling Of the great apple
crop In North Carolina this year, and
that they were having wagon loads
brought to Statesville-half Of 'em so
bruised as to be worthless in the mar
ket. Why don't some man get hold
of 'em. pack properly and send here?
Two or three years ago, or more, The
Messenger gave a hint just on this
line. A Congregationalist minister, Of
Canadian birth. of this city. who has
knowledge Of fruit growing, told US of
the want of proper information on the
part OF our fruit packers-how they did
not know how to gather, handle, pack
apples for instance-and this was given
to the public at the time. Not long
reference to the same laundering
was made, and a better way Of market
ing the crops was urged. North Caro-
lima "a become a great fruit produc-
ing state, but the growers must inform
themselves as to the best way, the safe
way. to prepare their fruits for the
markets.
