HAPPY RESULTS

No wonder scores of Henderson citi-

A BUMPER COTTON CROP.

Large Acreage and Good Condition
Basis For Belief That Crop VIII be
Largest on Record by Half Million
Bales.
Present indications point to this
years cotton crop as the largest the
country has ever produced, accord
ing to the governments experts.
Based on statistics OF conditions,
given out by the crop reporting
board OF the agricultural depart
ment and on averages for the previ-
GUS ten years, the crop will be great
er by about 100000 bales than
the average and larger by nearly
100000 bales than the biggest crop
the country ever raised, that OF
1904. Providing conditions as ia
vOrable as those which have pre-
vailed during the past ten years con-
tinue duriag this season there should
be harvested this year more than
100000 bales, the previous max
imum, in 1904, having been Ii, 5OO,-
900 bales and average for the past
ten years of 100000 bales. AS
shown by the last report OF condi-
tions on May %, cotton should yield
1913 pounds per acre compared with
average OF 1924 pounds during the
past ten years. Allowing for the
abandonment Of three per cent, the
ten year average of acreage planted,
which would bring the estimated
acreage down from 81, 0O4, 900 acres
to "a 100000 acres, this would give
the unprecedented crop indicated.
Conditions this year to date have
been unusually favorable, it was
pointed out, dry weather in May
having given the farmer a good OPP
portunity for proper cultivation of
the crop.
The color of cotton is also report
ed good. Although the growth is
not far developed, it is said this is
not a bad sign, rain later on will
bring it on rapidly on account of it's
present excellent condition.

Seaboard to Double-Track.

The Manufacturers Record, speak
ing of the Seaboard, says that count
ing the 100000 contract recently
let for new rolling stock and the pro-
iected double tracking of the 154
mile line stretch between Hamlet and
Norlina, with the enlargement of ter
minal facilities at Savannah, Jack
sonville, Tampa and other points
along the line, the new rails recently
ordered and the 100000 recently
appropriated for new bridges, there
is in sight an expenditure for the bet
terment of the Seaboard system of
between $5,OOO,OOO and $1O,OOO,-
900. Prospects for business OF every
kind in the Southern States through
which the Seaboard runs are good,
and the long headed men at the head
OF that system are preparing for the
rush that is coming. The double
tracking of the Seaboard between
Hamlet and Norlina is convincing
evidence that the company expects a
big increase in business from this
section.

Agricultural Prosperity in North
Carolina.

Inhis annual report to the board
OF agriculture Maj. w. A. Graham,
commissioner, recites the wonderful
advancement that has been made in
farming in this State in the past ten
years. Major Graham took especial
note of the improved financial con-
dition of the farmer, the optimism
which now prevails, and the smile of
happiness that lights the faces OF
those who earn their sustenance
from the soil.
OF the increased production of the
farms, the commissioner likewise
spoke, presenting figures to show
that this State is now in the fore
front ofagricultural commonwealth.
In ten years the average yield of
corn, for example, has increased
from II bushels to the acres to 20,
and the total production has in
creased from 29,79O,O00 bushels to
81, 10000. Cotton has likewise
made a more profitable crop, the
yield in pounds per acre having been
increased from 167 in 1900 to 227
pounds in 1910, topping every state
in the union The number of bales
produced ia 1900 amounted to $685.
S25, and in 1910 to III, 1S5.
The total increase in the value Of
farm products in the past ten years
amounted to 129 per cent.-the fig
ures being $50, 100000 in 1900 and
1922, 100000 in 1910.
The receipts of the department of
agriculture have shown remarkable
increase, but the opportunities for
use, the commissioner says, keep
pace with the receipts. The depart
ment has been doing demonstration
work, and this. together with other
agencies and help from the depart
ment, is largely responsible Tor the
increased prosperity OF the farming
classes, who constitute 80 per cent.
of the population of the State.

An Arkansas Boy and His Goat.
Baltimore SUM-

NDdIlllHOTe OuH-J
A 15-year-old Arkansas boy and
his goat have been embalmed in the
Congressional Record. The boys
name is HoppiDg-that of the goat
unfortunately is not given. Hop
ping. with a pillow of his own manu-
facture, to which he harnessed his
goat, planted and cultivated an acre
of ground in corn and gathered there
from fifty bushels. The boy and the
goat did all the work, except the
first blowing OF the land, which was
done with horse or mule power. No
special seed corn was used, no scien-
tific method of cultivation followed.
Common corn was planted, and the
crop was tended in the common way.
The State Commissioner of Agri-
culture heard of the case, and, find
ing it authentic, furnished the boy
with the best seed corn obtainable
for this year and gave him some in
struction in approved methods OF
| farming and cultivation, and he is
going to try for 100 bushels to the
acre. The commissioner also of.
fered to furnish the boy with horse
or a mule, but this the boy refused
preferring to stick to the goat power
and the pillow he built for himself.

have a ticket for Success. 1t is not

marriage license that had lain at the
bottom of a Chicago woman's trunk
for IL years was returned to the coun-
ty clerk with proper inscriptions,
showing that the wedding took place
last Friday at Blue Island. A threat

license to marry was issued to Harry
