FACTS ABOUT FRANKLIN COUNT!
Mr. C- A. Sheffield, aisfatant t<
Dean Schaub at Stale College, after i
careful survey of Franklin Count]
lute revealed thq following facts an<
figures:
Franklin County produces 99 pel
cent of the consumption of corn li
the County. Only 1 per cent belnl
imported. But we are raising cori
at a loss of $2.70 per acre, duo to I
low yield. By making this crop mon
prolific we will be able to prodnci
the necessary 1 per cent to supply de
maud and will make this crop pay ui
a dute dividend.
Franklin 'County produces only I
per cent of tho consumption of wheat
Mr. McCrsry stated, however, tha
wheat could not be grown profitably
In our county. Surveys reveal tha
It Is produced at a loss of $12.96 pel
acre.
We produce 20 per cent of the Oat
censumed. We do not raise enongl
f this crop. Surveys reveal that thti
crop isn' profitable, but we do no
lose money on it. It Is about an evei
break.
40 per cent of Hay consumption ii
raised, and that crop can be raise,
profitably on our Durham soli. Fig
ures reveal that Hay la raised at i
profit of $16.St an acre. Only 1 pe
cent of our cultivated lands are plant
ed In this crop. By doubling tht
amoont we can practically suppl;
our county's demands. And we cai
ill, that at a profit.
We produce 61 per cent of the Irisl
Potatoes consumed. United State
Surveys reveal that the averag
American consumes 3.3 bushels pe
year, but N. C. statistics show tha
Carolinians eat only 1.8 bushels pe
year. That- difference Is contribute,
to the fact that we eat more Horn
lr ies. Rice, Orits, etc., than the aver
age American, thus cutting our Irisl
Potato consumption in half.
Approximately 92 per cent of th.
Sweet Potato consumption is mad
in our county. Average Carolinian
consume 3.3 bushels per year. Tha
amount being about < times the con
sumption of Northerners. Sweet Po
tatoes are grown In onr county at i
profit of $48.00 per acre. Figure
further reveal that this Is ouy bes
uicney maker. Exceeding tobacco- tr.
$3.00 an acre. And percentages shot
that' jre do not raise enough to sup
ply our local demands and consump
tfhn.
Franklin County produces only 2
per cent of the Beef and Veal con
sumed. 80 per cent Is Imported int
our county every year. Compariso:
will show that beef cattle can b
raised at a good profit If the farme
will grow his cover, or feed crops.
We raise 13 per cent of our mutto
end Lamb. Statistics show Sheep t
be the lowest Hay consumer of th
cow, horse or mule.
56 per cent of our pork is raise
annually showing that we raise onl
half enough for our county's nee<
The county is paying out annuall
$125,000 for pork.
We only have enough milch _cow
Ul.the xoanty te pi UUucS" 4T~per cei
of our milk consumption. At Ihff
Mr. Sheffield tells us. we drink nc
ever one fourth as much as the at
erage amerlcan. .
Poultry products are 66 per cent c
our consumption. The average ma
eats about 18 pounds of this meat pe
year. To be exact it is 17.8 pound)
So we are short 34 per cent and an
man can raise poultry at a profit.
,85 per cent of our egg consumptio
is supplied by our bounty. U. 8. Sui
vrys reveal the average man to ee
17.6 doxens per year, or an averag
of about one half an egg per day.
During a three year average, com
posed of 1926-7 and 8. tobacco wa
raised at a profit, In Franklin Count]
of $46.00 per acre.
In this same period cotton wa
grown at a loss of $.60 per acr<
Average yield per acre of lint cotto
was 238 pounds. This low produc
lion is contributed to infestation c
the boll-weevil.
In the rear 1928 Franklin's mone
crops brought the county approxl
l.iately $4,600,000,00. Tobacco $2,633
206.00 Cotton $1,742,864.00 Peai
Soybeans,' Beans, $30,000.00. Frui
$60,000.00.
Now let's turn to a few drains froi
the county. Franklin pays annuall
for Its Kay $240,000.00; $180,000.0
for wheat: $126,000.00 for pork; $660.
000.00 for guano; and large sums to
beef.
On figuring crops made In Frank
lin the Extension Dept. has taken In
to eonsideratioi. your tax?based o;
an average taken from tax list book
of the county; on your In
terest of 6 per cent on your Invest
tnent; rent allowed at $10.00 per cul
tlvated acre; and your operating ex
penses, labor, etc.
Mr. Scheffleld points o.ut that .dairy
tug can be carried on'In Franklli
County at a profit provided the own
?r or operator will make his ha:
crop. Otherwise II is dubious.
That an expansion. In the last fer
years, towards money crops has help
ed to bring on our existing condl
tlona The department has founi
that farming is more profitable I
crops are balanced. If a farther wtl

ernor Gardner's program, he will hav.

MAKE BETTER CROPS
The coming year round* oat an even centnry eince
the first nee of Chilean Nitrate of Soda in &?
United Statea.
Andrew Jackson, famous "Old Hickory", of
Tenneasee, was President of the United States in
1830 when the first cargo of this nitrogen fertiliser
arrived by sailing vessel from far-off Chile. That
was years before we had the telephone,
the telegraph. ' -1
TO?I^ AY On sheer merit alone... strict
" ly on the basis of the good it
has done, Chilean Nitrate to-day is the standard
nitrogen fertiliser. Last year more than 800,000
farmers used it to make more money from their
crops. Every cotton champion in the Soath... add
every corn champion... made his winning crop
with Chilean Nitrate.
For nearly half a century, Experiment Stations
have proved the value of Chilean Nitrate. In Penn
sylvania, for instance, experiments have been con
ducted continuously since 18811 The success ob
tained by farmers who use it, leads many more
each year to follow their example. Chilean Nitrate
pays back its small cost many times over.
Do not confuse Chilean Nitrate with other
fertilisers. It is the world's only natural nitrate
nitrogen. Not synthetic, but the real thing, mined
and refined in Chile and nowhere else. It will pay
you to insist on Chilean Nitrate. It is quick-acting
food for almost every crop that grows... proved
by 100 years of use.
