Raleigh, June I.—“ What is the best agricultural county in North Carolina?’' is a frequent question ask ed of State officials. The current is sue pf the Farm Forecaster out today, published by the Crop Reporting Ser vice, of the Department of Agricul ture, carries a table showing, by coun ties, the value of seventeen crops, to gether with total vfalue. TICs shows Johnston county leading with these crops, while Pitt runs it a close sec-. ond. with $11,1152,500. The total vai-| ue of all these crops in the State is computed to be $312,275,12-1. Another question asked is “What, is the best agricultural section of the state?” This is also a difficult one, | but jn cash value it lies between Hal ifax and Robeson counties along the inner Coastal Belt, where the sandy loam soils predominate. These soils permit of early and easy cultivation, as well as respond to a wide variety of crops. In speaking of this section, we have reference to the money re turn value of crops, rather than to I living conditions. “M hat is the besc part of the sfate' for a fanner to live in?” Individual! opinions vary on this depending upon I whether they want climate, diversifi- ; eatjon of crops, rolling country, con-1 vebnicr.ee to markets, to the seashore,! etc. This much is true that the great-1 est diversification is found in the P'etJmont area, centering between i Guilford and Mecklenburg counties. | Willie these farmers do not have the! cash returns that those in many other j sections do we find a large percentage of "apparent” prosperity there. I’rob- j ably the greatest contentment is to be found on the farms in this section of the State. From this publication the following counties lead the State in the total value of the crons named: Pitt had value of tobacco worth $7,- 121,8(17 for tile 1925 crop; Jolmstou leads with cotton lint worth $.168,093 plus seed value of $952,265; the corn j crop s largest iu Robeson at sl.-! 589.466; Randolph has wheat worth I $687,984: the most oats, including those out mature for hay. worth $209,-! 401 are found in Union; rve ranks j first in Wilkes with $116,198; Pas quotank finds her Irish Potatoes worth $780,947, while sweet potato* m Curituck, elose by, are worth $598 <52 ; Martin -has the most peanut worth $1,126,978 not including th vines for ha.v: Robeson leads wit field cowpeas worth $339,543 eonnt ing companion cropped acreages yield I :1 K about one-half of what the solii | planted acreage yiald ; Johnston. lead | with small grains'cut green for ha; I with a value of $159,456, while cow | peas for hay are found most in Pitt | woth $33,762; soy bean hay wortl | $7;>.704 is found in Pasquotank am clover hay in Rowan worth $33,762 [ all other bays found mostly in Van ee.v county with a value of $323.48f This information has beca cntlei for so much that the department o Agriculture anticipated the distribu t : on of this publication into all state and many foreign countries especiall; since there is evidence of so much in terest in North Carolina just now.
