DAIRYING IN CAROLINA
The preat vuri: • of ici . cp
which grow to perfectiort. in Norti
Carolina, her long growing reasoi
making possible two' crops a year,
good maikets for dairy products am
a mild climate, are conditions tha
make dairy farming in this suite e
qual to and in many respects sjper
ior to those offered by the (test dair,
states iri the Union.
One 'might assume that there woufc
be no shortage of dairy product a ii| i
state where such favorable conditior
exist. However, such is the case. Es
pedally is thare a shortage in t!i
coastal and tidewater sections of tb*
state, where there is only one, cow to
every 14.1 persoug. If nil the mill""
produced in this part of the stale WJ
consumed in the raw form the a noun
available pej* person would bo let,
than one-half pint per d#y, or ahoy
oue-fourth tlie ijuantitv that *t"i •

The small number of oe.'s fo uid i:

b rd . fMliering to a oiv'-eiop sysie'
«* ii rmin»c, have felt that it was U •
j.i.it eal. for their tenants to owt
cows. How long this condition w :
is difficult to say, but it will b.
safe to predict that the number . i

.iiMv t-ified system of f i.rruing ife-pra

fjuate supply of milk aid hut er t
i'uble for each family and a con
siderable amount is produced fur th
market. There are sixteen cceumei
ies twenty cheese factories, seve.i mil!
plants, and eighteen ice cream .'at
tories operating in this section. A
bout 6,600 fanners are delivering sou
cream to these creameries for th
manufacturing of butter.
The production of cream with tiie-
fanners is a side iine.. They lioep .
sufficient number of cows to constpi'
«U- romrhaagi irrowq on the farm an
to pasture land which w«Juld other
wise return no dividends. In Addi
tiou to furnishing a good market, 01
the farm, for this roughage, the dairj
cow returns a monthly cash inocrre
Khe furnishes protitable and constant
employment for farm labor and make!
possible the reduction of fertilizei
bills by conserving soil fertility.
The production of cream for cream
eries'is a form of dairy farming tha !
is well adapted to any section of Nortl
Carolina, and if there was an average
of four milk cows per fhnm in thli
state instead of .07, the present an
nualinconie of twenty-four million*
would be increased to ninety-six mil
lions, and this is possible without ad

TOBACCO PRICES STRONGER
For several days past the price of
tobacco on the local auction floors
have been much stronger and man
farmers who have tried the much ad
vertised markts say that ours beat
any they have seen.
One of the greatest drawbacks to
prices is' the handling of the tobac
co. Quantities of damaged tobacci
appears on tlie warehous ■ floors ht ri
every day and also so much wet to

COTTON PICKING TIME
A few advance cotton pickers an
in the field this week and the har
vestingvof this year's cro will Ire oi
in earnest in a few days. Th • ho
dry weather prevailing during th • p:u
few days has whitened the fields am
th best farmers are pinking the firs
crop so as to have a better grade oi
cotton. Years ago the farmers mad
two or three pickings of their cot
ton and when they brought it to mar
ket some of it was ttie best gradi
and they received pric s in propor
tiou to the grades but now mcst peo
ple are too busy to make more thar
one picking and it is all classed m
dium and they lose the didfTerence in
that and the best grade.
This year, however, there will not
be any late cotton to amount to any
thing for there is probably not a field
in the county that is not infested with
the boll weevil. The same condition
exists over all the cotton growing sec
tions of the State, says tha crop re

PEANUT EXCHANGE EFFECTS
SAVINGS FOR ANOTHIEK YEAH
An item of most decided interest tc
the peanut section of Virginia unci
North Carolina Is the announcement
by J. H. Alexander, Jr., President ol
the Peanut Growers Exchange, thai
Arrangements have been made foi
cleaning the peanuts of the grower
members of the Exfhange for the com
lug, season. Negotiations for celan-
Ing the entire crop of IW'/li peanuts
for the Exchange have been under
way for some weeks and have just
been completed. The, Columbian Pea
nut Company of Norfolk has been
awarded the contract. This company,
with its ten plants well distributd
over the peanut bc'lt of Virginia anil
North Carolina, has ample fac litlet
for cleaning double the quailtipy of
peanuts handled by the Exchange la.st
year and is also prepared to store
large quantities of peanuts.
While the exact terms of tb-s clean
ing contract were not divulged, Mi
Alexander states that by reason of
the decided advantages of the new
cleaning contract, coupled with the
very substantial reduction in storage
costs, that the Exchange will be able
to operate for approximately one
third of its last year's costs for clean
ing and storing. Mr. Alexander
states that the saving oh a full yearV
operation on the new basis as com
pared with that of last will be
approximately (50(),(K)0 which will be
available for distribution to the grow
ers.
One of the outstanding features of
the new cleaning arrangement is the
fact that no pro,vision is made for
selling either, cleaned goods or far
mer's stock to the cleaners. The sales
angle is to be handled entirely by the
Exchange through its own selling or
ganisation.

BIGGEST COTTON SHORT
AGE KNOWN IN YEARS
I'nquestlonably there in penam T
the greatest c otton ■hortage'thal has

able weather and the ravages of in
sects are cutting 'town 'the crop how
to an unknown extent. In the weev
il infested counties of North Carolina
today nobody knows what the final
result will he. Added to the certain
shortage of this crop is the fact that
the world's carry over is the smallest
for many years. This carry over i«
about half the usual standing surplus.
I nder these circumstances the HOU
thern farmer should not sell his cot
ton early in the seauon. The advance
of fifty dollars a hale on the cotton
of the members of tne cooperative as
sociation will he sufficient for them
to meet pressing needs and it will also
be sufficient to start busines ffoing.

POSITION
Charlotte, N. C., September 16.
On Monday, Septembr 25th, the doora
of the Made-ln-Carolinas Exposition
will be thrown open and a show ex
celling by far anything of the kind
held in the South will be on.
The Exposition building itself in 1-
deally adapted to the purpose for
which it is to be used. Built of brick
and stone, 100x800 feet, and amply
provided with light, it has 30,000
square feet of floor space on each of
the two floors, three-fifths of which
is devoted exclusively to the display
of manufacturer!)' exhibits. In tha
neighborhood of 200 manufacturers
are represented in the list of exhib
itors and this comparatively small re
maining space is being applied for
rapidly.
The auditorium on the second floor
of the Exposition biuUling, in which
the concerts, afternoon ami evening,
will bo held, has a seating capacity of
3,000. The stage is unusually we!l
adapted to the purposes for which it
will be used, and might easily be em
ployed for any kind of road show or
theatrical performance.
The location of the biulding is in
many ways not tA be improved upon;
on Park Avenue in Dilworth, it may
be reached both byway of South
Boulevard and hy way of South Tryon
Street. Parking for automobiles will
be up and down both of these main
thoroughfares; but Turk Avenue itself
will b open to traffic both ways and
consequently porking on this street
will not be allowed. There is no ad
ditional parking spuce available ex
cept one lot in the rear of the build
ing, and this is held epclusively for
the use of exhibitors.
Every effort has been mode to pro
vide in advance for the safety and
convonihce of the crowd which will
attend the exposition. There are five
large exits from the uppper floor,
rest rooms for gentlemen and ladies,
ample telephone ans wire conveniences
—in a word, modern facilities in every
respect. Mayor James O. Wolker and
Chief of Police Waiter B. Orr have
cooperated most heartily wiih the oflßc
ials of the Caroliijaa Exposition Com
pany in arronging for the proper man
agement and control of traffic as well
as for the fft-eseravtion of order and
the protection 'Of tho public.
The fares charged at the Exposition
will be twenty cent .ifor children and
forty cents for adults throughout the
entire Exposition, with the exception
of Society night, which will be on the
evening of Thursday, September 28th.
On this evening, the charge for ehil
dren will be fifty cents and the charge
for adults one dollar.
Special days already arronged for
or in process of planning: are as fol
lows:
September 26th, Kiwanis Day; Sep
tember 27th, Gaston County Day;
September 29th, Cabarrua County day
October 3rd, Merchants Day; October
4th, Iredell County Day; October 6th,
Llntoln County Day,* ami October 6th,
Winston-Salem Day.
With eve»-v railroad in the entire
South offering a fare and a half rate,
for the round irip during the entire
exposition period, and with an enthua
iasm for the But-At-Home Movement
and for the Made-In-Carolinaa Expo
sition, which is the fruit of the move
ment, spreading throughout tkia en
tire section of the southeast, it is
being freely predicted that more than
100,000 people will vlait and learn
from th Made-In-Cat-olinas Exposition
of 1922.
