Rains Are
Retarding
Plant Beds

Continuous rains and cool wealth
er have delayed if not damaged to-
bacco plantbeds in this section,
though the season is not as yet far
enough advanced to constitute a
serious menace in the outlook for
the 1899 crop. Rainy days have
temperatures have been COOL
Fertilizer has been leached from
the soil by the rains, and absence OF
warm weather has retarded germi-
nation of SeedbedS. Early beds have
SprOuted, of course, but the unfavOr-
aDle weather conditions are having
an unfavOrable effect on those
plantbeds that were put in later.
some growers have found it desir-
able to re-plant in order to be as
sured OF a sufficient stand to sup
ply them with their requirements
When tranSplanting time comes in
mid-spring.
Favorable weather from this time
on would bring the plantbeds out
rapidly, growers say, and if this de-
velOpment should come, there would
De ample time for providing neces-
OCAJ ONPk'AANO.
Prospects in this county, accord
ing to close observers, are for a
1889 tobacco crop not more than ten
percent above last years acreage.
Much more extensive planting is
likely in the larger Eastern North
Carolina and lower belts, however,
according to information here
There are still those who voice con-
fidence that, even though there is
no control over flue-cured tobacco
Tor 1889, actual production will not
be large enough to depress prices
to the point but that there will like
ly be more total money in circula-
ton among growers next fall than
last, at least in this part of the belt.
Because of the continuous rains,
little blowing has been done by
growers. And it is long past the
time for the breaking of ground in
preparation for the 1889 crops. What
effect this may have upon the years
yield is problematic.

Average Farm
Has One Mule
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 13-The COM
pletelv theoretical "composite' North
Carolina farm has livestock popula-
ton Of one mule, one milk cow, four
hogs and thirty-three chickens, ac-
cording to the findings of S. M.
Hines, farm census supervisor of the
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture, who bases his information on
the State-Federal livestock report
And if North Carolina ever went
completely socialistic and started di-
viding its horses equally among all
the farms of the State, somebody
would have harder job than Solo
mon, because there are only enough
of them to give two-tenths of one
horse to each farm. And so there
might be quite an argument, over
which farm should get which end of
the horse when they started cutting
him up into shares.
The same situation prevails as to
sheep, with only enough of these
grass clipping animals to give two
tenths of one to each farm in the
State.
Just the same, there has been an
increase in the livestock population
of North Carolina all along the line,
according to the January livestock
reports which show that, compared
with 1887, the cattle and swine popu-
lation was up four per cent, cows and
heifers kept for milk, up three per
cent; horses and mules, up less than
one per cent; chickens, up five per
cent.
The present figures: 10000; mules
100000; cows and heifers & years
and over for milky 381 900; swine l.
$4,000; sheep 10000; chickens $685.
600; steers Gone year and over) a.
900; bulls Zone year old and over)
10000.
Latest census figures give North
Carolina 100000 farms.

widow, who before marriage was
Miss Virginia Thompson, and one
son, William E. Walker, Jr., and two
brothers, r. A. Walker, Jr., Of Hen
dersOn, and L. K. Walker, Of Rox-
boro. His father died last November,
but his mother has been dead for
several years.
The deceased was native of Per-
son county, and was born near Rox-
boro August 10, 1881. The family
moved here in 1919, and Mr.. Walker
and the brother who lived with him
here conducted a retail establish
ment here for a number of years.
More recently they had given their
attention to farming interests and a
feed mill in Townsville township
Mr.. Walker was a member of the

COTTONSEED MILLS
CRUSH SOY BEANS

College Station, Raleigh, March IS.
Twelve cottonseed oil mills in
North Carolina and three just over
the Virginia line at Portsmouth are
crushing soybeans for oil this season
and the mills are asking Tarheel
farmers Of those areas to grow more
yellow beans for this purpose in 1882
But, according to agronomists at
State College, the mills in the center
and piedmont sections of the State
want the farmers of those areas to
grow beans also, so that supply may
be secured nearer at home. So far,
the piedmont mills have to buy beans
from eastern Carolina or other Sec
tons. Soils of piedmont Carolina
need the growth of legumes to i'm
prove the land as do the soils of east
ern Carolina and the crushers feel
that stable market for all beans
produced may be readily found.
The cOttonseed oil mills are turn
ing to the soybean for crushing be-
cause of the prevailing shortage Of
cotton seed.
