Instantly arms were raised and
waved. Thumbs were tucked under

thumbs. For the men In the wheat

The elderly man sold his wheat
and yawned He wasn't as mad as he
seemed. A boy on a platform hand

clicked, the financial world knew

item, had changed hands In Chicago.
The elderly man never raised a
grain of wheat In his life. He didn't
know where the 10000 bushels came
from or where 1t was going. The
boy from the telephone booth handed
him another message-and he went
mad again.
Others were doing the same thing

FRUIT GROWING IN WESTERN
PART OF NORTH CAROLINA.
No State Making More Rapid Stride in
Development of Commercial
Fruit Growing.

The south has been regarded so Iona
as the land of cotton, and only cotton,
that many people do not know that the
south is now producing some of the
finest apples grown anywhere in the
country. In recent state and national
fruit shows, the south has surprised
fruit growers all over the country by
carrying OF a large share of the pre-
miums. People are led to wonder
how a state producing a subtropical
crop like cotton can also grow to per-
lection the apple. which requires a
cool climate. The apple crop of the
south is not produced in the low coun-
try, but in the high elevations of the
Piedmont and mountain regions, where
the altitude gives a cool climate like
kat of the northern states. "A glance
al the map of the United States, will
show that the Appalachian mountain
| system covers the entire western poT-
ton of the states of Virginia and North
Cod LII Co0SGA pat u 4Cn-
nessee and extends into the northern
portions Of South Carolina and Geor-
g;a. The mountainous portion of these
states is the apple region of the south.
This section is also the great summer
playground of the tourist. The same
bright skies and clear cool mountain
air that bring the tourist to this region
also paint the rich colors on southern
grown apples and put the fine flavors
within. A mountain region, on &C
count of the clearer air afforded by the
altitude. gives brighter-colored and
higher-favored fruit that than grown
al lower attitudes. In addition to this
q southern mountain region has a
longer growing season and brighter
sunshine, and for that reason offers
the very best opportunities for COM
nercial fruit growing.
Owing to the exploring and develop
irE of the great west, this splendid
fruit territory of~the south has. until
recently, been unnoticed and undevel-
oped. However, the fine fruit grown
in this southern mountain region has
of late been attracting a great deal of
attention at horticultural exhibitions,
and on account of these lands being
SO reasonable in price, a great many
people have come into this section and

orchards are being planted every year.
Mountain land that was formerly con
sidered of little value, because it was
for general crops, is now found to be
of high value because it is so admir-
ably fitted for commercial orcharding.
The Blue Ridge and Great Smoky
mountains seem to be a natural pro-
tecting barrier from the cold waves
that sweep across the central west-.
while the region is too far north to be
affected by the fierce tropical gales
that blow from the south. The pro-
tected coVes and long elevated slopes

REPORT OF FARM COMMITTEE.
Summary Of Report BY Committee
Appointed BY GoHern0r Craig.

Summary Of Report by Committee
Appointed by Governor Craig.
I We fad that credits costs the
average North Carolina farmer 8 to 20
per cent. normally.
2. We believe that some form 81
rural credit society not dependent
upon our present system of CONNER
eial banks must be evolved, based on
the European models, but adapted to
American conditions, with the addi-
ton perhaps OF certain other features
OF our building and loan associations.
There is great need both for shorr-
time credit and for providing money
cn bng-tme and low rate to enable
worthy citizens to build houses, buy
land. drainit and stock it, provide
home c~onvenienees, etc.
3. North Carolina has Just adopted
the Torrens system of registering land
titles, a system which will greatly
cheaper and facilitate agricultural
credit, and which we would commend
to other States.
4. At the same time our system of
taxation should be reformed SO as to
discourage speculation in lands, slim
ulate home ownership, and stop tax
mig the farmer on the full value of a
farm he a just contracted for, when
perhaps he has only paid for one
fourth of it.
/5. Largely because of our undeve1-
oped marketing system, we find that
North Carolina is importing $5O,OO0.-
900 of food or feed products which
should be produced in the State.
s.. One of the chief needs in provid-
ing, markets for these potential pro-
ducts and in economical marketing of
what we already produce is the pro
per Standardization of these products.
z. We believe that the main depend
ence of our farmers must be self-help,
but that it is the duty of the State
through it's agricultural agencies 10
educate, stimulate, and guide their eff
forts in these respects.
s. Our farmers need to develop a
complete system of cooperation in III
getting credit, (2) in buying supplies,
go in buying and using machinery,
ca in converting raw products into
more finished forms as in ginning cot
ton, grinding grain, convertig cotton
seed into meal and oil, milk into
cream, butter and cheese, etc., and (5)
in marketing the finished product d.
rectly to the consumer.

Brown Says IN South-

When I visit some of our southern

nents with which they are attempting
F., farm my heart goes out in sympathy
them. says w. M. Brown in the
Southern Farm Journal.
We have a great number of what is
usually called "one-horse'' farmers
often their equipment consists of a
small mule or horse. a small turning
plow, a bull-tongue or double-shovel
rlow and, perhaps, a small harrow.
We cannot expect them to make any
thing but poor crops with this equip
ment. We want to help them to get
better implements, and then they a
Lelp theselves in getting more horse
r,wer as we'll as better machinery.
There are certain implements that
ale necessary to good farming, and +
want to go into a discussion OF a few
OF these. The time has passed when
we can pillow or turn land with a one
horse plow; and one of the first things
for the one-horse farmer to do is TO
get a two or three-horse pillow with
which to pillow his land. He may have
to hire one or two horses from his
E~eighbor, but it will pay to do it. 1t
is almost necessary to have a disk
harrow to get a good seeded prepar-.
ed, so I would encourage every farm
er, whether large Or small, to have a
disk harrow. You can get them eth
CT for one, two, three, or four horses
row. After the disc has been used to
Gu up the seed-bed, a spike tooth
harrow is an excellent implement for
smoothing the surface of the ground
Again, this implement can be used to
good advantage in giving the first cul-
tivation of corn and cotton.
Of course, no one would undertake
to farm now without the proper plant
ers for corn, cotton and a drill for the
grain. A good planted will add much
to the crop.
The idea of shallow cultivation has
been drilled into our farmers until
every farmer has been told of the ad-
yGntages of cuItivating shallow. The
foU~teen-tooth harrow and the five
tooth c~ultivator are two implements
that no farmer can afford to be with
cat. The cost is very little compared
with the great benefits derived from
them. A two-hqfee ~cultivator may be
used for some d ythe cultivation.
If these impleI nts are used to good
advantage and aFpd crops are the re
silt the prope1 machinery for har-
Festing the crop will naturally follow.
Binders, mowers, rakes, machinery for
handling hay should be added as soon
as possible.
Farmers, give your farm hands mol
err machinery to work with and you
viii not experience that trouble n
looming labor on your farm. You
boys will enjoy the work much more
ard will not be so anxious to leave the
farm.

their occupation OF that city. A
superior force OF Germans caused
them to leave the place and take

reports are indefinite, but give
