LITTER FROM TICKET
 AGENT W. ". SMITH
Brinkleyite Gives Some Ob- servatiOns of His Va.
 cation Trip.

Woodleaf, N. C., Aug, IA, 1917. Dear Mir. Folsom:
 We arrived here the 10th and found the crops are looking very prosperous.
 The cotton seems to be the third crop, good many pieces of cotton that 1 have seen here will, unless something happens to it, make more than a bale to the acre. I am informed the acreage is cut to about half what has usually been planted. Corn is very fine. I looked over one field that last year made I50 bus to the acre. tho the average yield here is only about 20 bu. to the acre.
 Good many people are engaged in truck farming and many of them that I have talked with have already sold from $500 to $500 to the acre.. They find a ready market in the northeastern cities for all the produce they can raise. They ship it from here daily blythe car load, can taloupes, tomatoes and all kinds of fruits are shipped from here.
 Now about the good roads. The roads in this country are the finest that you ever saw. 1 have been over several miles of this road in a car, as the people we are visiting have car, and they take pleasure in showing us over the country. and I'll tell you the fact, they have the best. smooth est and easiest riding roads that you can imagine. They build their roads of sand and clay. They are now taking up their macadam roads and replacing them with sand and clay. l have been informed that sand and clay cost about one-third as much as the macadam and the dura- bility is longer and the servile is much more satisfactory. l wish some of our road commis- sioners could see this sand and clay road.
 There is also quite a few fac tories in this part of the country such as cotton mill and flour mills, etc. We had the pleasure of visiting one of the cotton mills at Cooleeme, three miles from Woodleaf, that was run by water-power. I was talking with the Supt. and he informed me that they carried seven hun dred employees on their pay roll, averaging six thousand dol lars per week, saying nothing about the office force. They said the capacity of the mill was eighty bales of cotton per day, manufactured into cloth. Am advised they have eleven such mills (some larger ones) in this county.
 I have already written more than I intended but there is so much here to write about, just thought 1 would write a few brief items.
 My wife and I will leave hear tonight for Washington and New York. also will visit Brook lyn to see some of our Brinkley sailor boys.
 We hope to reach home in the near future.
 Yours truly,
 w. w. SMITH.
