Koxboro, N. C. Sept. 3rd 924 "i
CONCERNING OUR TOBACCO
MARKET.
There are always two sides to all
questions, and the same is true of the
mode in selling your tobacco. Probably
one half of the tobacco farmers
~ ha this County have joined the Todiacro
Growers Co-operative Association,
and no one will deny them tho
-right to sell their tobacco in the manner
prescribed by their rules and regulations,
and the other half prefer
-the old way, the independent way
they call it. Now, there is absolutely
i? reason why both classes should
not dwell together in peace and harmony,
but recently there seems to
have sprung up considerable ill feeling,
and, as is usually the case, the
innocent have to suffer. Many of the
Co-ops say they will deliver, in fact
nana of our very best farmers did 1
-deliver last year, to other markets.
Roxboro is the logical point for delivery
for every pound of tobacco
raised near by.
If there is any plausible reason or
excuse for delivering elsewhere we
have not been able to find it. We believe
with all our heart that the grader,
Mr. J. Shields Harvey, is one of
the best tobacconists in this State.!
and will vouch for his honesty, and
he will give you the very best grading
your tobacco will carry. The force
in charge of the Co-op warehouse is
jnst as accommodating and will look
just as close after your comfort and
-convenience as any one could, then
why should tobacco raised in Person
county be carted off to other places,
-thereby helping to enrich those places
at the expense of your county seat?
And the same thing applies to the
independent class, they have no more
encase for selling their tobacco elsewhere
than the other class. We would
not advise any farmer to labor to
make a crop and bring it here if wc
did not feel absolutely sure that he
would receive just as much money
hew as he will on any market. We
should have County pride enough to
make us want to see our own section
prosper, and this can not be if we
spend our money and give our influence
to other sections.
If you are a member of the Co-op
Association, deliver your tobacco to
Bosboro, nnd if you sell the independent
way, bring it to Roxboro.
The County has provided good roads
for you to travel over and the business
men here will give you a hearty
welcome?always have and always
win. They are your friends, they
stand by you in times of trouble and
they will stand by you in every crisis.
Farmers, we cordially invite you to
COME.

speech at Asheboro last Satur-.

a fine gentleman, but he knows he is
defeated and knows full well if elect-'

mighty interesting questions.

HENRY FORD AND THE
SOUTHERN FARMER.
(Oontiuned from- page one)
under the rule of the children of
Abraham, a warning which went unheeded,
he has turned his attention
to saving American farmers from the
grasp of Aaron Sapiro, a deseendent
of one of the tribes of Judah.
Mr. Sapiro, as is pretty generally
known, is counsel for numerous farm
co-operatives in the south and west
and is credited with writing a co-operative
marketing contract that holds
a farmer to what he sets his name
to. This shrewdness of Mr. Sapirq, it
aptrcurs, iihb ueepiy gnevea Mr. roro,
who also seems to think that Miu. Sapiro
has been paid too much for his
legal ability at contract writing.
Therefore, Mr. Ford has hired himself
a writing man who writes at so mncli
a write of the alleged failure?of all
those co-operatives with which AShon
Sapiro is connected.
These pieces of Mr". Ford's writing
man are printed in the Dearbon Independent,
which claims to print the
"truth without prejudice." From -n
readiig of some of the Independent's
articles, however, it would seem that
"prejudice without truth" would serve
equally as. well as a slogan.
For the paper is owned by Henry
Ford and his hatred of the Jew is too
well known for anyone to suppose
him capable of giving a member of
that race an unprejudiced hearing. It
is more than probable, then, that it
is not the alleged failure of co-operative
marketing that has strated the
ink to flying but rather an earnest
desire to administer a knockout blowto
Sapiro, the discrediting of co-operative
marketing being essential
thereto. ,
Apparently the fact that the ruin
of Sapiro would mean the ruin of
nearly a half million .farmers means
nothing to Ford. He has a dollar for
every farmer he would ruin, so why
should he worry? He is gunning for
Jews with a blunderbuss and those
who are hit may take it for their
share. Most assuredly, moreover, if
Ford has any interest in the farmer
it is of very recent origin. His actions
hitherto have not indicated any
solicitude for the welfare of cotton
and tobacco growers, certainly.
vFor Ford's attempt to gobble up
Muscle Shoals was not in the interest
of the farmer. On the contrary, it
was in the interest of those who
hitherto have profited by the farmer's
labor. He believed cheap fertilizer
would mean cheap cotton and tobacco,
hence his desire to produce the former.
Because the maker of 10,000,41)0
motor cars thinks farmers should produce
just twice as much as they do
and sell it for prices only one-half as
high as they now obtain.
Notwithstanding the fact that already
the farmer is growing more
than he profitably can sell, Mr. Ford's
advice is to pcodQce! produce! pro
duce! He forgets that the farmer
knows as much about growing croos
as he does about making cars and
seeks better marketing methods only.
But as said a moment ago, Mr.
Ford is rich and can afford to ride
arty hobby he chooses. The Dearborn
Independent, furthermore is one. of
these hobbies. With it he seeks .to
hasten the millennium, a worthy undertaking
but one not likely to succeed.
The peace ship he sent to Europe
to get the . boys out of the trenches
was another Ford hobby. In fact, if
hobbies were horsee Mr. Ford "would
bo considered a hard rider.
The Dearborn Independent is indepehdent
and can afford to be; it
is backed by five hundred million dollars,
which accounts solely for its
continued existence. Remove this, financial
backing and it wouldn't Inst
six months. For it carries no advertising.

Meat Scrap Is Essential
to Production of Eggs
That rations for laying hens should
-contain approximately 12 per cent of
meat scrap for efficient egg production
la brought out by tests at the
Ohio experiment station.
This amount of meat scrap has dei
creased the cost of feed more than 29
, per cent and increased the egg production
more than 50 per cent as comI
pared with a ration containing only 2
j per cent of meat scrap. This was
true of both the heavy and light
j breeds of poultry.
A ration in which the grain mixture
was made up of three parts corn,
one part wheat and the dry mash mixtore
of two parts, by weight, ground
corn, one part hran nnd two parts meat
scrap, has proved satlafactory. The
fowls consumed twice as much grsln
as mash.
Plow Legumes Under for
Building Up Fertility
Over 6s%2,000 acres of legumes were
plowed under for green manure in
1922 by formers following the advice
of agricultural extension worlrer* on
, methods of building up soil fertility.
according to reports to the. United
States Department of Agriculture
Finding thnt the fields In which the;
desired to plant legumes had add soil,
some 48,000 farmers In 1922 followed
the recommendation of their count;
agent to appl; lime on these fields.
They used for this purpose, according
to reports to the United States Department
of Agriculture, about 827,000
tons of lime or limestone.
