COMMENT.
GREAT CORN GROWING. ~

Under the above caption The
Charlotte Chronicle comments as
follows on the article published
in Mondays Robesonian about
Mr.. ]. D. Johnson's 1O-acre field
of corn, which The Chronicle re-
prints in another column:
The farmer friends of The
Chronicle will be interested in
the system pursued by aRobeson
county farmer, by which, it is
claimed, he will make one thous-
and bushels of corn from a ten
acre field. Such a production
from North Carolina soil should
not be regarded as unusual. The
proper application of intelligence
and energy will work the same
result in almost any corn field in
this section of the State. The
Robeson county mans system
seems to be entirely different
from theWilliamson plan and can
be easily followed. 1t appears
to be based upon common sense
and should be an encouragement
to farmers all over the State to
work for better results from the
corn field. The corn-growing
agitation of the past few years
has been productive of greatgood,
as is apparent from the condi-
tions of the corn fields in differ
ent parts of the State. The sea-
son has not been an especially
good One-in some localities it
has been bad-yet the farmers
will this year harvest the largest
corn crop the State has known, in
the face of the fact that there has
been no appreciable increase in
acreage.

1t is good news that the Raft
Swamp Cooperative Milling Co.
will locate it's -four mill here.
Lumberton gladly welcomes new
enterprises, be they large or
small. The plant this company
proposes to operate will meet a
real need and will cause many
farmers to plant wheat who
would not otherwise do so. Some
have given as their reason for
not sowing more land to wheat
the fact that there have been no
facilities for havingwheat ground
in this section. The fact that an
up-to-date mill will be located in
Lumberton will remove that rea.
son and many who have been
buying their -four and meal will
make them at home. The Robe.
sonian hopes that this plant will
meet with such encouragement
and success that it will be nee
essary to enlarge very soon.

The Chronicle is entirely with
in bounds in stating that "the
application of intelligence and
energy will work the same re-
suit in almost any corn field in
this section of the State" The
land on which this corn is grown
was sold several years ago be-
cause its former owner thought
it was too poor to make a living
on. Deep plowing was particu-
larly stressed by Mr.. Johnson IN
the account he gave The Robson
ian of his method of cultivation.
If any of our farmer readers
missed that article they will do
well to return to Mondays Robe
sonian and read it.
