tracted prize pens from other states. For
the most part, however. the fowls exhib-
tied have been raised. and have COM
peted favorably with the best birds from
other and older establishments.
The increased interest and attendance
on these shows as compared with no
later q time than a year ago is the most
striking Indication OF the growth or the
pUuitry sentiment among the farmers.
In many OF the cities and counties pou1-
try. associations have been organized.
and hold weekly meetings. and plan
poultry exhibits. Several of the state
papers, notably the Charlotte Evening
News and the Winston-Salem Sentinel,
have made Sunday features of a poultry
dc partment, and attempt to foster local
interest by having the department edit
ed by local breeders. Furthermore,
while every effort is made to encourage
the utility side of the business no in
considerable amount Of interest attaches
to fancy prize stock, and two Charlotte
breeders hold many prizes for first birds
at shows ranging all the way from sue
sttae fair to the recent Appalachian ex-
position.
The soil OF North Carolina is well

poultry industry. There is not the slight
est doubt that in comparatively few

CHARLOTTE. N. c. Nov. 1S.-The
poultry ami egg industry in North Caro-
lima Is one which has multiplied in i'm
portance many fold within the last year
and is going forward with even increas-
ed speed of development right at present.
For years the larger cities Of. the state,
notably Charlotte. Asheville and Green's
boro, have been obliged to send out OF
the state of Tennessee for regular egg
supply. Now the farmers, under the edu-
cational Influences of the poultry ex-
hibits at the county fairs, are preparing
to take advantage of the opportunity to
make the state Independent of foreign
sources of supply, and Ia make them
selves Independent of the cotton market.
When one considers that from the little
town of Morristown, Tenn, alone, more
than three million dollars worth of
poultry products are shipped annually,
an amount which is greater than Meek
Ienburg county's income from cotton
even in the most favorable years, the
tremendous Importance of this industry
to the farmers is apparent.
tremendous impetus has been given
to the matter lately through the splen-
did and pretentious poultry shows which
have been held in Greensboro, Raleigh,
Hickory, Morganton, Winston-Salem.
Charlotte and other places. Some or
these exhibits have been in connection
with county and state fairs. and have at

ONLY HALF PEACH CROP
ON ACCOUNT OF COLD
Severe Weather Has Killed
Many Peach Orchards
Pink With Bloom
Especial Dispatch to The Journai)


FORT VALLEY, Ga, Nov. 15.-The
recent severe cold weather following so
closely the unusually warm weather OK
the past several weeks has doubtless re-
suited in the possibility of only a
half crop of peaches for 1872 through
out this section.
Many of the orchards were pink with
blossoms and the cold spell has killed
every bud so developed. II no further
damage from cold next year to the fruit
results there will probably be half
crop for 1912.
All vegetation in and around Fort Vaf-
ley has been killed. but the delayed cold
weather which hurt the mercantile busi-
ness is now serving as a boom to ii
and the merchants. especially the dry
goods merchants, are enjoying a spien-
did trade.
