A third spirit inherent is the

In Onslow county, 81 per cent
of the income of the farmers
is derived from tobacco. The to-
bacco acreage will total a four

sources Of agricultural income
are corn, sweet potatoes, pea
nuts, and just a little cotton.
A growing interest in being
manifested in livestock. So far
the Onslow farmers have not
gone in much for buying pigs
and feeding them for 80 days
for later marketing. In some
sections this is regarded as the

most profitable way of market
ing corn, selling it as livestock
not as corn.
Especial attention is merited
by the results of e'ectrifying
farm homes. Whether this he
done by the R.E.A. Or by the
rural extensions of private COM
panies, the electrified home is
a stronger booster of agricul-
tural diversification. Installation
of a modern convenience moder-
nizes the entire farm viewpoint.
A rural electric line is a sure
pathway to adoption of the
latest recommendations for pro-
fitable farming.
Farmers days are winning

one-day events Or will be ex-
banded into countrywide fairs
lasting a week.
