Between one and two thousand acres of
watermelons and cantaloupes were
planted here last year, and considering
the unfavorable season. the production
and quality were excellent The soil is
light loan over a stiff clay and will pro-
duce everything that will grow in this
latitude.
The people are largely Scotch descent
but fully half are of other blood For
years this section has been noted for the
number of boys and girls sent off to col
leges and universities. For half CEN
fury there has been one of the best high
schools of the State in Laurinburg. The
people are thrifty and intelligent and
on the whole are deeply religious.
There are five cotton yarn factories in
the county, two at Laurinburg and three
a few miles out. There is a new modern
forty-ton cotton seed oil mill just COM
pleted last season, which is very con-
venient and beneficial to the farmers.
The section is especially suitable for
the cultivation of grapes, peaches, melons
and small fruits. Opportunities hereto
fore neglected, but now being developed.
Expert truckers and fruit growers would
do well to investigate this section

Wheat and Cattle Raising in Edge
combe CuntY.

Last fall Mr. E. L. Daughtridge, mem
Der of the Legislature from Edgecombe
county, and one of the most useful mem
bers Of the Board of Agriculture, sowed
10 acres of land in wheat, after the
cotton was picked. The cotton
had been fortified with about
300 pounds per acre of cotton meal, acid
phosphate and kainit, but no additional
fertilizer was used on the wheat. The
corton yielded about 1900 pounds seed
cotton per acre The wheat yielded 80
bushels per acre The land was turned
inches deep, wheat sowed about Decem-
Der 18th by hand, pecks per acre, and
put in with disc harrow. Mr.. Daughtridge
writes: II did not make any special
preparation for this crop. l knew the
land was good and expected a fair crop,
but did not expect 80 bushels per acre

Cam Grow Three Times as Big

A State in which the growers can raise
a crop of early potatoes that averages
three times as large as that of the great
State of New York, as is done in North
Carolina. and can get crop of peavine
hay from the same land, and then grow
from $50 to 200 bushels of potatoes in the
late fall on the same land, is in posi-,
tion to compete on very favorable terms
with the States north of us, where it
takes the whole season to grow the one
crop of potatoes. The average crop OF
potatoes in New York is put down at
about 80 bushels per acre. The trucker in
Eastern North Carolina VINO grew no
more than that would think he had dead

true of the Clarissa mine in Mitchell

deal. 1t should be stated, however, that
the quality of the mica from this State,
and especially from Mitchell county, has
created the standard in mica, so that this

grade, is labeled "a / Mitchell county

come.
