si .pgr BETTERjsTHAN COTTON. v We have recently published a couplejarticles showing that tobacco was a better paying crop than cot. ton, but there is an industry of the farm which,Jeonsideringj the money invested and the labor required, pays better thanTeithercotton orgtobacco, althonghjvery few farmers realize it. The North Carolina hen, goose and turkey run thisbranch of the.iudus try, the hen being in the lead. Gen. JulienS. CarrXopened the poultry show, at Charlotte with an address onthe,henand her co-laborers, Jfronijji way;? back down to the present day. It was a lengthy aud comprehensive address, but as inter esting and instructive for those who take an interest in such matters (or should take an interest in them) as it was lengthy. We qtioteHhat part of it which is especially interesting to the North Carolina farmer or dweller in the country, whether far mer or not. Speaking of the indus try in this State he said : "As yet the returns of the census of 1900 .are not available, but as far back as 1890, the number ia North Carolina of chickens was 7,507,500; turkeys, 197,400; geese, 376,000 ; ducks, 169,400, and of dozeus of eggs, 11,756,000, quoting in round num bers. The total exact number enumerated was 8,250,413. .The value of the eggs was $1,175,500 and the total value, $3,056,494 But it was well understood from compari son in other lines that4 dread of the tax collector, and the want of proper records of the eggs and fowls consumed, bad in duced an enumeration by the householder far below the reality. We shall see that this estimate is probably much less than half the present value of that interest in our State. Let usjnote the progress throughout the country. 'In 1885, when about 26,000,000 dozen ggs were sent to New York, their value was about $9,000,000, ornearlj so. Accor ding to the reports of Jthe produce exchange about $16,000, 000was spent in New Yorkt Philadelphia and Boston alone for geggs, and bo much more for poultry, making some $32,000,000 for the three cities. In 188G our exportn,were 2"2,000dozen eggs, and imports 16,092,000 dozens. But in 1897 the receipts of eggs from the Union in New York jhad riser to 83,100,000, or more than three times the whole number of twelve years before, the imports had drop fped to 500,000 dozen, or onethirty-secoud, t and - the exports) had risen to 1,300,000, or five times the lormsr export. And this is going on at a rapid rate. ".Not only has the number increased, but file commercial value has greatly advanced The introduction of canningjj method?, but more especially the adoption of cold sto rage, has so steadied the market thac.de structive gluts in the center are no longer feared. Prices are steadily maintained ana constantly tending upward. Well estab lished standards, better care ml.breeding and management, improredmethods jfor preservingeggs, on the one thand aud the large increase of urban population, on the other, have quickened effort, aud tendered the better financial returns. Even in bleak Canada a fowl upon an average is expected to produce $2 a year net profit. Is that so bad, when at the present prices of cotton, cur bureau of labor statistics declares that $3.20 profit is all that is made upon a bale of cotton in North Carolina in the year 1901?" The State of Missouri, where the poultry raiser has not half the advan tages he has in this State, realized last year 818,000,000 from the eggs and poultry sold, and other Western States, according to reports, have done nearly as well. We have no idea, and we didn'c suppose any one has, what money eggs and poultry brought in this State, but it would doubtless sum up into the millions. And yet the hen is appreciated by , very few, left to scratch for herself and raise her broods as if she didn't belong to anybody. She is profita ble even witii this treatment but if properly treated and cared for would be twice as profitable. Wilmington Star. Children Especially Liable.
