FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING
(WilliamStOn Enterprise. }

The farmers of CataWba county
are living at home and boarding at the
same place. They have diversified
their crops they have gone into stock
raising and dairying, and many are en-
gagged in truck farming to supply the
home markets. 1t need not be said that
they are more prosperous than ever
before, that they are buying improved
farm machinery, that they have money
in the banks, and that such things
as panics and financial crisis are to
them nothing but a name
The above is the ending Of an arti-
Gle appearing recently in the News and
Observer. which told of the marvellous
things the farmers Of Catawba county
Wede doing by a ulversilication Of

menting editOrially, scays that every
farmer in North Carolina should read
the article.
What is true of Catawba county can
be truer of Martin county, because OF
land more easily cultivated. There is
no county in the State with greater
agricultural possibilities than that OF
Martin But our farmers are slow
to see the benefits of diversifying their
crops and raising a sufficient amount
of hog and hominy for the family and
the markets We eat Western beef
and pork, feed Western hay and corn
to our stock and so on till the list gets
sickening Our people are too welded
to the old methods of farming. There
are many who have become emancl-
Dated but the entire country should
wake up to a realization of the needs
and the best manner to supply those
needs. There has been marked i'm
prOvement in farming for the past
ten years, still the half has not been
done.
We plead and hope for greater ad-
yancement within the next ten years
an advancement that will place Martin
county where it belongs-at the head
of the table.

LARGER STOCK IS NEEDED
Progressive Farmer

Heavy mules and horses are neces-
sary to the proper and economical
cultivation of q large share of South
ern soils. 1t is not unusual. however,
to hear men say they prefer the 800
pounds mule to the 1,2O0-pOund ami
NAL: and as to horses weighing over
1900 pounds; many farmers state they
just would not have them.
To retain the old light, horse
implements and increase the weight
Of the mule is useless, if not at all
times a positive disadvantage. II one
of these friends of the 500 or 900
pound mule goes to the dealer to pur-

there is no doubt as to which would
be taken. The heavy mules are worth
more because they can do more farm
work of the kind that is profitable.
OF course. the small mule is quicker,
but speed is not What is wanted
Implements to do satisfactory and
economical work must usually be
large and heavy, and for these the
larger mule alone is satisfactory. The
task of getting an implement that Will

that will go fast enough to do eco
nomical work with these small imple-
ments formerly used. II we are to
use the small expensive implements of
the past we should, of course, suck
to the small mule. but if we are going
to do farm work in the most ecOnOmi-
cal manner we must have the larger
implements and larger mules to pull
them.
We know a farm managed by a
graduate of a Southern agricultural
college on which a splendid Perch
eron mare that weighed about 14OO
pounds was abused and finally ruined,
because she was too slow and yet,

small and expensive implements were

years the area of production of pea

Among the more important uses of
the peanut for human food are the
following: 1t is eaten from the she'll,
as salted shelled peanuts, as blanched
peas, in the so-ca1led peanut candies
and brittle. in ombination with pop
corn and puffed rice, in the form Of
peanut butter. and as an ingredient Of
peanut and vegetable meats, peanut
meal and salad oils. The use Of the
peanut for eating from the shell when
roasted is most important and popular
but the quantity of shelled peas that
are first roasted and then salted and
sold by the pound is constantly in
creasing.
