Short 24O Millions
In short, we shall this year be send
ing out Of the State 240 million dol

could easily produce at home.
These conclusions are based (1) O
the reports for North Carolina by tn
Federal Crop Reporter and the Fec

(2) on the per capita averages of ar
annual consumption announced by tn
Federal Department Of Agricultu1
from time to time.
Think of it! The total of prima1
wealth produced in North Carolina /
agriculture, manufacture, mine
| quarries and fisheries, according
the latest figures, is less than 81
million dollars year! And near
half Of it this wear will take the win

uttermost parts of the earth to b.
