Elected last summer to be president
of the North Carolina State Farmers
Convention, D. Hubert Boney, dairy
farmer of Teacheys, Duplin County, is
regarded as one of the leading farmers
OF eastern Carolina. Mr.. Boney farms
on. the principle that a pencil is the
ject can remain on his place unless
it pays its way.
For years he has been regarded as
a Grade "a" farmer being somewhat
in advance of this movement in the
State. He also believes in intensive
cultivation. There are only Is acres
in the Boney farm but 300 working
days are utilized each year. Mr.. Boney
has 20 head of pure bred Jersey cows;
60 head Of Duroc hogs; a flock of over
100 chickens; six acres of strawIber-
res composed of leading varieties; 40
acres of corn with which legunes are
iptelplanted; an excellent garden and
a modern 10-room farm home equip
ped with every modern convenience
He operates on a cash basis and has
an income every month in the year
from five cash crops of beans, cotton,
tobacco truck and strawberries and
two income sources from livestock.
ION most of our land, we grow feed
and sell it as milk and pork" Mr..
Boney says. 1--WE believe the day is
not far distant when eastern North
Carolina will become more conscious
of grass and livestock and when our
farmers will have a steady income.
Then he will not be so dependent on
the credit system and will look to his
herds and soil building practices for
food for his crops instead of buying
it in a guano bag.
NJ. Boney cooperates with the State
College Extension Service in all of its
efforts toGo uild a richer, more con-
,cn.ed fam life.
