Raynor of Benson, route 2, for
producing 1924 pounds of lint cot

1914. Mr.. Raynor won both the
county contest and his own town.

ton than any of the other l26 men
who completed the job and made
final reports. Some of the other
II township winners produced 1853
pounds per acre, 1874 pounds, 1913
pounds, 1886 pounds, 1853 pounds
and so on, with all of them pro-
ducing high beyond the proverbial
bale to the acre. yield by which
so many of us measure our sue
cess in cotton growing.
The interesting thing about this
Johnston county contest is that
it was started by thinking men
who saw the danger to cotton in
the distance. There are many
families in that county, as in other
North Carolina counties, who are
dependent upon the cotton indus
try for a living. There are oil
mills, textile mills, cotton gins,
fertilizer dealers, and others who
are concerned about the future of
cotton. The county produces to-
bacco abundantly and this past sea-
son was a successful one from the
standpoint of tobacco profits. Ev-
eryone seemingly shared in the
flood of gold that came from the
tobacco crop. But the far-seeing
leaders in the county can see a
day in the not-too-distant future
when this tobacco boom will have
spent itself and when other sec
tons will be permitted to grow
more of the weed. Then, too, to-
bacco growers usually think of
their income as something extra.
The tobacco money is soon spent
for the things needed by the fam
ily-for the things which possibly
it has been doing without all the
year. After the tobacco money has
been spent, it is the custom to
take the cotton money, pay the
bills, and get started in the new
year.
The business men of Johnston
county know this and, last spring,
they met to thoroughly discuss
the whole situation. At the meet
ing were farmers, fertilizer men,
cotton buyers, textile mill oper-
ators, old mill people, fertilizer
manufacturers and just plain bust
ness men from Smithfield Selma,
and the other towns of Johnston
county. They decided that some

Do you remember, from last

that you promised to plant fol-

has passed and winter is here,
there is still time to do that trans
planting. If the plant to be NOV
ed is deciduous drops its foliage
in the winter, it is not necessary
to remove a ball of earth with
the plant. Care should be taken,
however, to remove all the roots
possible. A ball of earth should
usually be moved with evergreens
since more water will be
transpired because of the foliage.
The hole in which the plant is
to be placed should be dug con-

is necessary to take care of the
largest roots. Place the plant in
the hole the same depth that it
was growing originally and pack
