Prea THE SOUTH WiLL GRRW HIGH THE MANUFACTURERS RECORD TELLS WHEN When Every Community Follows the Eastern North Carolina Farming Progress. The Eastern Carolina Exposition is to be held at Wilson, N. C., for a week next spring, beginning on Monday, April 7, according to the announcement by the Eastern Carolina ^namoer oi commerce 01 snow Hill, N. C., which is making arrangements for the show. It will not be kept open over Sunday this year because of the extra expense. K'. G. Bartlett, secretary-manager, is already at work on the plans which will display the past, the present and the future of the section, about 500 persons participating in - this program. Subscriptions for the Exposition are being asked from different counties interested. George Lay, formerly of the Kinston, (N. C.) Morning Mews, has been elected assistant to the secretary-manager and he will work particularly for the development of "the Eastern Carolinian," which is the official publication of the organization. That periodical says there has developed daring recent years a unique method of getting producers of vegetables and other truck and consumers together. The average farmer dislikes to go to town and peddle his products, but when the institution called the "curb market" came about the farmers took advantage of it , and now they carry their stuff to town once or twice a week and retail it at a central point which everyone knows about. There arc sold , chickens, eggs, vegetables of all kinds, fruits, etc., and housekeepers of all , stations in life make their purchases^ right from the farm instead of through , hucksters. Markets of this kind are' regularly held in. Kinston, Goldsboro,' Ayden, Greenville, Fartnvllle, Tarboro, Smithfield and other- places. They have been successful from the, , start. The "Eastern Carolinian" also contains some very interesting news of development and progress in the re-' gion at and around Scotland Keck j where a 10,000 bushel sweet potato] storage warehouse has been built this year and about OOftO bushels of potatoes stored and cured. One car-] load of these potatoes was sent aSj far as Los Angeles, Calif. As to poultry, there were ,10,500 baby chicks placed in the county this year and eight, commercial poultry plants were started. Nine brooder houses were built and brooders installed and operated. All surplus broilers weTe . sold, it is stated, at from 45 to 55 l. ' - ? { ? Governors in Horses!

There have been fortyfive farmers engaged in hog raising, 10 carloads being shipped from the county in March. There were fourteen self-feeders constructed and fourteen pore bred boars and thirty-seven gilts and sows were placed in the county. A carload of grade Guernsey and of pure-bred and grade Holstein dairy cows was placed with farmers throughout the county and another dairy barn and a silo are being erected. Sheep raising is also successful and it is stated that the wool clipped last year wac sold* thrbugh a pool and it averaged about three times the price offered by local purchasers. It is proposed to pool the wool again this year. Two carloads of lambs were sold to Eastern markets. Careful veterinary supervision of all livesystem whereby home raised corn, hay and meat are to be recognized as collateral for loans in 1924, instead of a large acreage .of cotton has beer, placed in Operation by the Chamber of Commerce, through the hanks and the merchants of Scotland Neck. Concerning this plan the Scotland Neck Chamber of Commerce says that each farmer in applying for credit will be required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the person to whom he applies, that he has a surplus of food for man and beast, that he is planning his crop system so that a surplus will be provided for another year; that he is farming this year as if he expected a boll weevi' infection of at least 30 to 50 per cent; that he plants his crops early and fertilizes heavily when planting; that he works intensively and frequently; that he follows the advice and practice of the County Agricultural Agent and that he shows a willingness to co-operate in all these things to avoid the great losses which have been caused elsewhere by the pest. Furthermore, the merchants, bankers and other business men of the place also resolved last winter in meeting that the acreage of cotton this year should be decreased.rather than increased, It was. recognized that there was a pronounced tendency through the South to increase acreage and should the season be favorable there would be a very large crop of cotton which would greatly reduce the price. Moreover, in order to increase production cf food crops it was necessary to reduce cotton acreage. The requirements of credit are declared to be us much for the benefit of the farmers as for the business men and all were urged to cc-operate: The Halifax County_Bnnkers Association also urged farmers-not to increase their cotton acreage at the expense of food and ft)rage crops, nn^ that everything be done to keep down the -effects of the weevil. ?-- a ? ?r doe Pitching Tourney e Gov* "Charlie", Moori Idahoa dirt farmer" governor, shown here, alls with- delight the return of rsesboa pitching ae a potwlar >ort because he once was a t haiuton.* Ke la going to try again and ' to. pitch ngalArft Go*.

Aug. 27.?It is thought that the Martin county tobacco cases will be heard here before Judge Geo. W. Connor some time this week. The case is in the shape of a restraining order secured by the members of the co-operative marketing asocisation to prevent the seizure of their tobacco by."the association. This order is returnable before judge Connor as stated above and will most likely be heard this week. It is possible that the status ol the tenants' tobacco will also be brought up at the hearing since the association claims that the signature of the landlord gives them an equity in the tobacco of the tenants.
