A PIECE OF INTERESTING I'D
AND LUCRATIVE FARMING

Last spring Mr.. James Bingham,
one of our best small farmers, who
resides in the Brushy Fork section of
the county pondered as to what crop
he should cast that would bring the
quickest cash returns, and tried it
out on Irish Cobbler potatoes. Eight
acres were planted, the expense for
fertilizer, labor etc being approxima-
tely $500. When digging time came
he had the crop sold to two Gastonia
merchants at 81 per bushel. He has
already delivered his yield which af-
ter being assorted amounted to 1,2OO
bushels, his cash returns being $2,4OO
less expenses. He then purchased Of
his brother and two other gentlemen
1900 bushels more, which he sold at
the same price, making both transac-
tions bring the sum of $4,000. And
still some men say there is no money
in farming Watauga lands. Can you
beat this?

W. L. ALEXANDER
DIES in CHARLOTTE
Wealthy Blowing Rock Developer
Succumbs in Charlotte Hotel to
Heart Attack.
Charlotte Special of the 9th to the
Greensboro News.)


Walter L. Alexander, Al, of Char
lotte and Blowing Rock, capitalist and
developer of the Blowing Rock Sec
tion, died early this morning at the
Hotel Charlotte of heart trouble. He
had been i'll but for a short time,
his death coming as a complete sur
prise.
Mr.. Alexander, accompanied by his
wife and daughter, and Mr.. and Mrs.
L. B. Morrow of Blowing Rock, came
to Charlotte Monday afternoon. Yes
terday Mrs. Alexander and other
members of the party returned but
Mr.. Alexander was unwell and re-
mained in Charlotte, intending to
return to Blowing Rock probably to-
day.
Tuesday afternoon DR.. G. A. Bar
ron and DR.. w. E. Wisehart, house
physicians, attended Mr.. Alexander,
who, it is said, responded to, treat
ment. A nurse was left with him
during the night. Early this morn.
ing he dropped off to sleep and sew
eral hours later when attendants went
to him he was found dead.
Funeral arrangements had not been
completed this afternoon, pending
the arrival here of Mrs. Alexander,
who was expected tonight.
Mr. Alexander lived in Charlotte
until about eight years ago when he
moved to Blowing Rock to develop
real estate in which he was extensiv-
ely interested. He was secretary
treasurer of the Mayview Manor com
pany and the Mayview Construction
Company of Blowing Rock, and the
chief developer of properties held by
these companies since their organi-
zation years ago.
Mr.. Alexander also owned large
block of land in the picturesque Blow
ing Rock region which he was devel-
oping individually, devoting practi-
cally all his time to these projects.
He was also interested in a number
OF business concerns in Charlotte.
Mr.. Alexander is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Ernestine Bridges Alex
ander formerly of Wilmington and
two children, Ernestine and Preston.
His stepmother, Mrs. w. L. Alexan-
der, lives here. Mr.. Alexander's IA
ther, w. S. Alexander, one of the
best known business men of the city
died last year. A sister Miss Minnie
Alexander, lives here.

painted homes, large barns and with
herds Of cattle grazing on rich pas
lures. The drouth has been respon-
sible for decrease in milk flow
from the cattle but the farmers are
finding that the section is suited for
dairy farming and many. of those
who were leading beef raisers and ira
ders have dropped the old to turn to
dairying.
k Mr.. Ward is a typical example. For
years he was a prosperous beef man.
He raised beef cattle and bought beef
cattle from the smaller farmers. He
made money. But following the war
and the depression Of 1920, little mon-
ey was made with beef so Mr.. Ward
turned his attention to dairying. He
has built fine dairy barn, bought
some pure bred Ayrshire cattle, has
constructed a model milk house and
delivers his whole milk in Boone. He
has farm of some 200 acres devoted
to pasture, corn and hay crops. Last
month his check for whole milk de-
livered at Boone amounted to 5000.
He has thirty head of Holstein and
ayrshire cattle, headed with one of the
finest Ayrshire bulls to be found in
the country. He states that dairy
farming will pay in the mountai.
section and others are following his
example.
For the smaller farmers who keep
only few cows, the cheese factories
are proving blessing. There are
three now in erection in Watauga.

the last one is Beaver Dam. Mr.

sell it successfully. He also gives
aid to the other factories outside of

AS we drove up to the Brushy

stores at Boone. This load, placed

WOOTEN TRIAL
STILL GOES ON
Lawyers Now Making Pleas--Beina
Tried for Second Degree Murder
Can't Finish Dockets This Week.

The trial of D. w. Wooten, charg-
ed with the killing of Lenard Trip
lett in June is attracting much in
terest. The court room has been pack
ed since the case came up yesterday
and the lawyers pleas are now be-
ing heard. The defendant is being
tried for second degree murder, and
it is expected the case will go before
the jury tomorrow.
A good many minor cases have
been disposed of. We will however
be unable to carry full list of the
proceedings this week.
More than one hundred cases were
on the state docket this term while
the civil docket has about 20. Attor-
neys think the term will continue
well into next week.

under the lee of some hill, surroun-
ded by carpet of green. 70 the
rear or at one side is the barn and
the cattle grazing in the pastures be-
yond. The peope are energetic and
earnest, clear-eyed and intelligent.
To the picnic held on Mr.. Wards
farm last Tuesday, they brought an
abundance of food, well cooked and
the talks made and showed an inteli-
ent appreciation of the problems pre-
sented to them.
AS left them to come down the
hills again to my lowland home, l
thought that here some day will be
geat cattle country. From this
section will flow a stream of pure,
cold, clean milk to feed the people
of the lowlands. Other dairy prod
ucts will also be made here and this
together with the other crops will
make this again one of the richest
sections Of North Carolina.

BY F. II. JETER.@

Look here" said John Arey, eff
you want to sec how a people are
changing their methods of farming
to adopt more profitable practice,
you come with me to Watauga
county next week and visit the dairy
farms and cheese factories with me-"
Accordingly plans were made to
go with John Arey. In fact he is
q powerful hard man to evade when
he wants someone to do something.
So we set out. His first stop in
-cluded visit to the Granite Falls
Dairy Farm in Caldwell County
where County Agent D. w. Roberts
and Homer P. Robinson, manager of
the farm, were to give giant picnic
to the dairy farmers Of the County.
81 Here we found we'll managed
farm engaged in the production of
cream and whole milk from pure
bred Jersey cows. Mr.. Robinson is
milking % cows, keeping records on
each one and has some high pro-
ducers. In one year, one of his cows,
Raleigh's Rooney, produced 1898
pounds of milk containing 636
pounds of butter fat. 1t costs about
5000 to feed this cow and the value
of her product including the skim
milk and manure, amounted to 1888:
In addition, she dropped fine bull
calf during the year and won over
$500 in prizes in the show ring. She
was one of the prize winners at the
North Carolina State Fair last fall.
About 400 people attended the
dairy picnic that day and each fam
lily brought a well filled basket. A
speaking program was held in the
forenoon and games and contests in
the afternoon. The folks all in
spected the dairy farm and went
away filled with more wholesome
respect for the dairy business.
But Watauga County was our OBJ
jective. A dairy picnic was to be
held on the farm of Floyd C. Ward,
leading farmer of the county and
formerly engaged in tn production
of beef cattle. We spent one whole
day before the picnic visiting the
dairy farmers, the cheese factories
and studying the farming practices
of that county.
Watauga is one of the grain and
livestock sections of North Carolina.
Despite the drouth the Valleys and
coves still presented green, velvet
lined appearance, dotted here and
there in suitable locations with

of Wilkes County also scefully
sleeping nearby.
The interesting part je, story
lies in the fact that the fAwere
not out on a raid of ''tq 70 ind. In
formation brought out ood:Mr Ed.
Stearns, Manager of alolWatauga
Cafe, at Blowing Rock, j. hose es-
tablishment a quantity OF whiskey
was found not long 'ince, and who
is arraigned beft court, led
the officers to .ooi eenor on a
charge of retailil owing Rock
this summer. 1t wal an attempt to
locate hm for appearance in connec-
ton with the Stearns case that he
and Phillips were found in the act
of making liquor.
Everything was "setting pretty"
when Officer Gross arrived. The
deadly work was being done while
the offenders slept, weary perhaps
from long nights of vigilance. The
distillery being Of a size never before
captured ny Watauga officers, its
output was immense, and large
sized washing tub was the least thing
the moonshiners could risk in which
to catch the fluid as it ran from the
condenser, and as they peacefully re-
posed. Some thousands of gallons of
beer sat nearby. Mr.. Gross waited
and looked no doubt for moment,
at the willfulness with which the laws
of the State and Nation were being
violated, and flashed his elect4se torch
into the sleepers' faces, but1they did
not awake, and when they did awake
they were being man-handled by the
efficient arm of the law.
The outfit was ,dismantled, and
Phillips handed over to Wilkes Off
cial while Fleenor spent the remain
der of the night in the Boone Jail
to answer local charges. o.,
He will doubtless be used material
ly in the Stearns case, when it comes
before the court. and will then be
arraigned Jointly with Phillips before
the next Wilkes tribunal, when they
will face an "open and shut" charge
of manufacturing Intoxicating bev-
erages.
