HOW $50. .0O0. 900 A YEAR COULD
RE. SAVED TO THE STATE.

The aeronomv division of the North
Carolina D. partment OF Agriculture
has sent out report of the estim ated
amo1nt of food products imported
into the State in which there .
enough food for thought to engage
the farmers attention during the long
winter season when he has more time
to think.
By estimates based on information
secured from all parts of the state IL
is calculated that we are imp
foodstuffs each year to the aihouhl
of about s6O,000,000. And this ooes
not include all foodstuffs lmpofteu'
but only those which can De ~
duced in different parts OF the State
With an area of more than 80 o0e'o
acres. most of which is araofe. an
this money could be kept at nome
and this without increasing the cui-
tivated area; but by raising the
average of production. Wltn an
average Yield for wheat Of nine ana
a half bushels TO the acre we are
forced to import over 100000 BUSH
els. whereas if the average could pe
raised to % bushels, which s ABOUT
is bush Is below q practical possl,
bility, we could export over 2,eee,eoe
bushels on the land that is even no"
grown in wheat.
The renort refers to the fact that
a hundred years ago farmers IN 'ne
State raised sufficient food products
for home consumption, but with the
advent of the manufacturing industry
the Importation Of food products De,
gan and has increased through al
the years. It says that tn IS not a
sign that the State is not prosper ouS
| but that if we would reasonably use
the means at hand we could increase
this prosperity incaiculabiy.

Iy would rapidly put them into the
automobile class where the Western
| farmers now are at our expense.
When one realizes thse if this money
were divided to every man, woman
! and child n the State it would pro-
vide nearly $50 per capita. it IS easy
to understand what it would accom-
plish in the way of schools, good
roads and automobiles.
| Not more than 45 years ago it was
| the custom Of the farmers OF this
part of the state to load up Their
wagons with wheat and, taking days
| for the trip, haul it to South Carolina
and Georgia and there sell it Or ex-
change t for sugar, coffee and satE,
| things they could not by any posi-
| bility produce They were wise in
(. their days and generation.
| However it is not necessary for the
tfarm to be the alI-around producing
fp1ant that il was in the old days, but
! North Carolina has such a variety Of
soils, Of climate, of condition, that
| ought not to be necessary to go
without the State for food products
In other words, North Carolina should
| be turned into an all-around produe-
! ing plant which would turn out any
+: and all foodstuffs in an amount to
feed US all and still have some for
South Carolina. where they have an
texcuse for importing such things. not

Thirst

I stood alone by the rivers brink,
Trying hard 70 get a drink.
I beat it up, ard beat it down;
Yes, beat it always to beat the band
But nary drink came to hand,
Where water is scarce and the river is
sand.
So I FASTENED on and came to a town,
Where the stores are clean, and natives
brown.
I went and went, till I got to the store,
Where good folks went when they
wanted more
Of the best things to eat in chocolates
brown,
And drinks, hot and cold, from soda

Where sanitary methods keep things
