Clover, Oct. 24-Stock statesmen rep
resenting a fisheries concern with
headquarters at Wilmington, N. c.,
have been doing a good business
among farmers living in this territory
within the past week or ten days.
Several of these statesmen have been
working the Glover section and in fact
good, portion of York county, 1t Is
understood and have found 1t to be
verify a land of milk and honey. The
statesmen say that their concern has a
flock of fishing boats on the Atlantic
coast. The fish being caught are to
be used for fertilizer (that is the finny
fish) and the fertilizer Is to be sold
to those farmers who buy stock in the
concern at a greatly reduced price
over sales to non on-stockholders. The
game seems to be for the statesmen to
learn what farmers have sold cotton
recently in considerable amounts and
then go to them with line Of talk
to the effect that 1--WE understand you
are one of the most prominent farmers
in your community and we want you
alone to take stock in this growing
concern. Knowing that you are a man
of means and of influence we want to
interest," you personally" 1t appears
that they forget to say how much the
fertilizer is going to cost the farmers
who take stock and how much more 1t
is going to cost them who don't.
Fishing has been good around Clover.
A couple of these stock statesmen took
orth-easterly route from Glover one
afternoon recently and sold $4,000
worth in a short time. 1t may be all
right. this stock; but conservative
Clover business men are leery of 1t
and when their farmer friends with
considerable cash and somewhat of an
itching to become bloated bondholders
ask their advice In regard to 1t, they
are giving them a friendly tip to let
1t alone.

which is in Mecklenburg county and
while the soil of his new purchase is
as we'll adapted to the cultivation Of
cotton he Is attracted to tobacco pro-
duction and will devote most OF its

brother law, Will Adams living at
Chase City, and l have been wanting
to get out there for some time al
though my family didn't want to 60
However 1 recently sold my farm here
and purchased a hundred more acres
of land than I had here together with
good residence at saving of several
thousand dollars over what rec eived
for my York county farm. Farmers
growing tobacco around Chase City
this year have averaged moro than
$500 per acre for their crops which
can be grown as cheaply as cotton.
Lands are cheaper in Virginia than in
York county and labor conditions are
better and I think l am going to be
we'll pleased with my new home"
