scheduled ahead to Oct. l of next
year, climbed to 1902, 428 900, COM
pared to total of $152, 1000, 900 one
week earlier.
Some $40, 800, 900 worth of civil

NEED OF BETTER
MARKETING Seen

RALEIGH, Oct 29.--Better mar
keting methods will be a leading
farm problem az the war ana
more careful attention should be
devoted to this phase of agrlcul-
ture. says DR.. I. O. Schaub, direc-
TOR Of the State College Extension
Service.
"Surpluses will probably develop
for many Of our farm crops, ne
exnlains. land we must be ready
to deliver our produce to consum-
ers in more att active packages
and on the basis Of standard grades
If we are to receive top prices for
our products.
IN a recent series of sweet po-
tato meetings in 20 counties in
Eastern Carolina we have emphas-
lied the need for better marketing
practices in the handling of this
crop. The production of more No. l
potatoes per acre begins with the
fertilization and the spacing of the
crop in the row. Field grading and
careful handling of the potatoes to
keep from bru;sing them is OF
great Importance.
Another crop WHICH is sorely in
need of better marketing practices
is eggs. We have made rapid strides
ir poultry and egg production in
recent years and we are already
facing problems of marketing in
this so million dollar industry.
1--WE must not forget that our
cotton, for example, is in for keen
competition from synthetic fibers
and from an extra large world
carry-over of cotton. We must be
on our guard and give marketing
problems first consideration in the
years ahead"

Elixir, Seeks Big Place
In Fine Farming Section

at Asheville few days before.
The calf was the first one Sam
ME had ever owned, said Iredell
Farm Agent Maury Castor, and
while the club boy needed the
money, he cried when it came
time to turn the steer over to the
buyer. Maury said that Sammie' S
father was dead and that he and
his mother were running the farm
with Sammie doing most of the
work. The steer that he fed and
finished was bought by a local gro
Gerry store in Elkin and the meat
will be featured at a special sale.
The second prize or reserve
champion steer was owned by a
club girl, Ruby Hutchinson of
Wilkes county, and sold for 40
cents a pound with the 87O-pound
ANIMAL bringing the club girl a net
of $348. ALI in all, the 48 steers
sold for an average of "a cents a
pound and thus broke another rec
ord for such events in North Car
DINA. The total weight Of the
steers was 1926 bringing to the
young people the sum of $9,18340.
The first prize wool was purchas-
ed by W. A. Neaves, vice president
of the Chatham Manufa cturing
company, who paid $3.50 a pound
for it. Thirty entries of wool were
made with most of it selling for ST
a pound.
One of the best things about the
sale, however, was the crowd of
rural people, mingled with bust
ness men of Elkin, taking an in
tense interest in the entire pro-
ceedings and watching to see why
one animal sold above another.
The sale was staged in a local to-
bacco warehouse and some 800
persons present from the thlee
counties.
The show was managed by w. A.
Neaves, assisted by Neil Smith,
county agent of Surry county. The
North Carolina Bankers associa-
ton donated $500 to be used as
prizes and various other persons
helped to defray the local expen-
ses. T. C.. Mcknight, secretary of
the Elkin Y. -. c. A., staged the
banquets and luncheons and senv-
ed all CONFESS with efficiency. Mr..
Mcknight has a wide reputation
for his chicken gravy and his cot
fee. The H club members who
dined with him during the show
said the reputation was well de-
Served.
On the final evening, following
the sale, members of the civic
clubs and the Junior Chamber OF
Commerce gathered for joint
banquet when plans were made
for holding a better show in 1915.
They also gave attention to the
needs Of the section in the pastwar
era and made plans to continue
the work with livestock which ev.
en- now is beginning to paw such
handsome dividends.

BY F. H. JETER

Civic leaders and business and
professional men in Elkin have
set about to make the town a cen
ter for a progressive farming sys-
tenn. The plan has been under way
for about three years now, since
the time when Garland johnson,
vice-president of the Bank of Elk
in was appointed chairman of the
Agricultural committee of the XII
wants club, and then decided to
do something about it.
When Garland makes such a de-
cision things Begin to happen. But
he never works alone. His first
effort, therefore, was to solicit the
interest of all his fellow citizens
and then to start some definite
planning. A second step was to
get the support of the county farm
agents of Surry, Wilkes and Yad
kin counties and then to make
Elkin the center for various farm
ing activities. No less interested
has been Harvey Laffoon, able edi-
tor of the Elkin Tribune, and Win
ner of more citations for communi-
ty upbuilding than any other edi-
tor of weekly or daily paper in
North Carolina.
Working with the North Carolina
Bankers association, the Elkin
folks decided last year to hold a
district livestock show featuring
finished beef steers and wool. The
show was an immediate success
and although only about % steers
were exhibited, Elkin became
widely known for its support of the
livestock program in North Carroll
ma. The second such show was
held the other day and it is not an
exaggeration to say that it was one
of the most successful events Of
its kind ever staged in the state.
The affair got under way on Tues
day evening, October II, when
banquet held for the youthful ex-
hibitors was addressed by W. D.
Halfacre, vice-president of the
Bank of North Wilkesboro. Ninety
club members and their guests
were present. Early the next morn
ing, the judging begun and the
steers were placed by DR.. D. E.
Brady, livestock ard meat special
list from State coli fge.
Once the animals had been plac-
ed, they were paraded through the
principal street Of Elkin, after
which a luncheon was held in the
local Y. M. c. A. auditorium when
plates were prepared for over l.
200 club boys and girls and voca-
tional students. L. R. Harrill, 4-H
club leader at State college,, and
Fred Greene, secretary of the
North Carolina Bankers associa-
ton, addressed the group. That af-
ternoon there were judging con-
tests in which Billy Miller, All
club boy of Bonneville, Yadkin
county. emerged as the champion
in the Notwithstanding contest,
and R. L. Southern, of Allegheny
county won the trophy for best
shoWmanship.
On the following day all the
steers and wool was sold at public
auction with Oscar Pitts, state SUI
perlntendent of prisons, acting as
auctloneer. The champion steer

Sammie Lee Myers of Iredel
