Considerable Interest
in Land Sale
New Subdivision North Of Roanoke
Rapids to be Developed into Desir-
able Residential Center.
RESERVE RIGHT TO RE-PURfHASE

Considerable interest is being
manifested in the sale at public
auction tomorrow of fifty large
lots on the subdivision on the
Emporia road just north of
Roanoke Rapids and every indi-
cation points to the sale being a
spirited one.
All of the property WILDE sold
under provisions insuring as far
as possible the development of
the subdivision into an attrac-
tive residential district. None of
the property will be sold to
colored people and the present
owners reserve the right to re-
purchase within five years any
part of the property which
might fall into undesirable
hands.
Looked at either from the
standpoint of home owning or
as a speculative investment, the
proximity of the lots to Roanoke
Rapids and their general desir-
ability should render them an
attractive proposition.

If the signs are read correct

nave the greatest sale of Tuber-

year in the history of the move
ment. Most encouraging reports
come from the North Carolina
tuberculosis Association under
whose auspices the seals are
sold. Indications are that not a
few towns will double the num-
Der Of seals sold last year. Ashe-
vile, Durham and perhaps Char
lotte are three of the largest
town that give evidence of
doubling their last years sale.
Two counties and quite a num-
Der of towns have placed large
additional orders for seals at
State headquarters, which is at
the State Sanitorium. The coun-
ties are Cabarrus and Pamlico.
Some of the towns are Burling-
ton, Belmont, Bryson City. Lin
colnton, MockSville, Mount Airy
and Morganton. Clinton, Dunn,
High Point and Henderson also
show signs Of increased sales
and Raleigh has to her credit a
splendid sale of Health Bonds.
According to a report from

December LIST Cotton
Crop Report

The official estimates of the
Crop Reporting Board give the
North Carolina crop a production
of 100000 bales, estimated for
this year. Giving the crop value
of S.33 per pound, which was the
average for three weeks period
ranging about December 1st, the
crop has a value of about $780,
548, 400. The recent ginners' re-
port gives North Carolina $780,
GIG bales ginned to December
list. 1t is estimated that 94 per-
cent of the crop was ginned at
that date. AS the bales in North
Carolina average about 480
pounds each, the gin bales must
be discounted.
For the first time in its history
North Carolina will rank second
in the production and value of
the cotton crop. The yield per
acre gives us a lead in this re-
spect among the important cot
ton states. 1t is estimated that
the seed cotton AVERAGES 81 per-
cent lint this year in the state.
The estimates on the acreages
from the various reports used
as compared with last year,
range from 102 to 100 percent,
giving a reasonable average of
los percent. The percent
abandoned since June 25th when
the first acreage estimate was
made was 5 percent.
The Crop Reporting Service
obtained a large number of in
dividual cotton farm acreages,
the results of which indicates
that 107 percent increase was
harvested this year as compar
ed with a year ago. According to
the regular report received from
hundreds of correspondents over
North Carolina, 81 percent of
the crop was picked by Decem-
ber 1st. The average price paid
to farmers per ton of cot
ton seed was S48.50
The avYage price paid
for picking seed cotton was SIPS
per hundredweight.
AS was to be expected, the
largest yields per acre were
made in the Northern Belt of
North Carolina although yields
of one bale per acre were not
uncommon in the southern coun-
ties. During field travel and in
vestigation, the state statisti-
clan found that over 20 percent
of the farmers were making
over one bale per acre. One well
known farmer in the state had
tenants who averaged about
700 lbs, of lint per acre on
farms in Wake and Wayne
counties. The basis for the
large yields in this state were
very favorable weather condi-
tlons, unexpectedly low dam
ages by the boil weevil, the
earliest and heaviest setting of
bolls in our history. the heavy
usage of high-grade fertilizers
and frequent cultivation.
