The Com Crib Too Far Away From Home The average North Carolina farmer gets up by the alarm of a Connecticut clock, buttons his Chicago suspenders to Detroit overalls. Sits down to a Grand Rapids table, eats Chicago meat and Indiana hominy, fried in Kansas lard on a St. Louis stove.'Puts a New York bridle on a Kentucky mule, fed with Iowa corn, then plows a farm covered by Ohio mortgages with a Chattanooga plow. When night comes, he reads a little chapter in the Bible said to be in Jerusalem and printed in Boston, then crawls under a blanket made in New Jersey to be kept awake by a NORTH CAROLINA YELLOW HOUND DOG, the only home grown product on the place and then he wonders why he can’t make money raising tobacco at present prices.
