Some Facts About Halifax County.

There are 1926 farms in Halifax
County. And the cost of CONNER
clal Fertilizer used in the County
per farm is $500. while the total
amount used on the 1926 farms in
the County is s369. $1,000 per year.
The feed expences per farm is
S35. 90, per year, while that for the
whole County is 1927, $780,. By
the proper methods of farming this
annual expence Of 1927, $500 can
be kept in the County, and a large
part of the Fertilizer expence can
be saved.
The average yield of corn for the
County last year was 1911 bushels
per acre, while the average yield
for North Carolina was POS bushels
per acre. In Halifax County there
were lis acres of corn cultivated in
demonstration work, and the aver
age yield per acre was 1870 bushels
Why can't the yield for the whole
County be brought up to these fig
ures?
The number of cattle in the Coun-
ty per 1000 acres of land is 81,
while the number of hogs per 1000
acres is At. From there figures one
can see that the County is deficient
in the number Of hogs and cattle
The producing power per acre in
Halifax county is 1883, while that
of Illinois is much less. The per
capita wealth (ruraD is S2O5, while
that of Illinois is over $4,000. With
the great acre producing power
there is no reason why Halifax
county should not rank very high in
the agricultural world.

the perfectness Of her life, we car
not say that her life was short.
She accomplished in few short

years. 1t was truthfully said at her
funeral that her life should be a
model for all other girls and boys.
