ftill for Martin County. PROJECTS IN 1923. . FOR AGRICULTURE NEW YEAR'S STATEMENT AND RESUME OF AGRICULTU RAL. CONDITIONS >' / (By Agricultural Secret* /. Wallace) Twel- ■! .nonths ago, most of the six million 'a mers of the United States were st aling on the long hard climb out of -»« valley of economic depres «ion. They have not yet attained the height* which are bathed in the gretefu. sunshine of prosperity* Some, indeed ,s»ve fallen by the way. Oth | eiv era Mill in the valley. Neverthe lesa, we atop a bit and look back* . r- - ward we can see that very considera ■ ble ground has been gained by the i New Yeur with renewed hope and fWith thut courage which comes from realisation that we are really mak ing progress. A ye** ago, when speaking of the prospect* for farming in 1922, 1 said Uiat while there was no reaaon to expect uoom times for the farmer in the near future, there was prom ise of belter times, both fo rthe far mer anu for those whose business is r largely dependent upon him. The year has brougut fulfilment of that prom ise. Oeiierally speaking, times ai« bftter, mucn better, tiian a year ago, bjth for agriculture and for indus try Crops have beeu good on the whole, f -ices oi the major ciops are most ly considerably higher. While then: has been a corresponding advance in tne prices of the things the farmer must buy, the total sum which farm e.s will receive lo rthe crops of 1U22 is greater by a billion and a half dollars or more than that which they rr-ceiveu tor the crops of ltfiil. This v .11 certainly mean better times on t c farm, and folks will be able to ta»e uj uii the grinding economy they were Joued to practice the preced ing year. The ukAtr cost of producing the crop oi 1922 was still further reduced. "1 nere were some substantial reduc tions in might rates. Much helpful legislation ha* been enacted and more «ill be this winter. Interest rates k e lower and credit strains have been t sed. 'lhis has made is possible for r>>aay larmers who were rather heav ily involved to refund their obliga tions anu get themselves in condition Jo win tnrough. V - ' There are still some dark spots. In some sections weather conditions were w (favorable and crops were short; arid- I rmem in these sections are having a very hard time of it Freight rates a.e still too high, especially for those \ 10 must pay for a long haul to the market. Taxes are high, but this is largely i.:e to the increase in local taxes, o. er which farmers themselves must e'.ercise control. There has beta gratifying growth in farmers' cooperative marketing a»- t ciations, and more of them are i g organised on e sound business busis. Aside from the help which has been g.ven by legislation and by more nor iil relation between agriculture and 0 .her industries. The peril in the agricultural de -1 ression is more keenly realised by 11 her groups than ever before, and Ci.i every hand a sincere desire is be i ix evidenced to do what can be done Rifely to help the farmer better hia condition. Everything considered, we have reason to expect atill better things J«r agriculture in the year 1928. liKLP THE COLLARD , TO TASTE BETTER It la Very Popular Dish In This State ™ and Few Get the Beet Resells From This Vegetable RALEIGH, Dec. 30.—Although the eollard is probably the most widely £;own vegetable in North Carolina, lew peeople get the best returns from this plant as few grow it properly, s.iys F. E. McCetl, heme garden spe- c.alist of the extension service. He ' rcate* that when the eollard is cor rectly gl own and jproperly prepared it is aq excellent dish for those who like a cabbage flavor. But as eom | moaly grown the leaves ale coarse, I tough end bitter instead of being ten- I der and succulent. Therefore instead p of oeflig* awetixing whan cooked it I is often unpalatable and eaasea indi f gestion. After the eollard has acquired this better flavor, few people like it end Mr. McCall notes that the average 1 :.tch at this time is not giving any , appreciable amount ot food to the fni'dly. To remedy this Mr. McCall makes U.-e folio win g suggestions: "The leaves of the oollard should be tied 19 a> •coa aa long enough to aid in blanch tag the inside leaves. Blanched leaves always have a far idore delicate flav or than the unblanched leaves. When, 1 t.i us grown this vegetable has a mack sweeter flavor than cabbage. Col-' F , bids should he cultivated often, fer tilised well with a nitrogenous fer tiliser, end supplied with plenty of moisture to foree rapid growth. If the growth is slow the leaves will IN md the Sever strong." HARDISON MILL ITEMS Mr. C. J. Roberson was here on business last Thursday.
