"The Advantages of Washing ton County to Homeseekers." MISS MARY FREEMAN, SWAINS GRADED SCHOOL. Submitted at County Commencement, and winner of the Gold Medal, Offered as a prize by the Washington County Bank. any Washington County is located on the Eastern coasc of North Carolina, and it has as great ad vantages to home seekers as any county in the gtate. First the industries carried on v 'r to varied t.iai .ntfhig-eni man from the rrmof- humble laborer, to the most learned professional mar. can find employment. Its farm ing advantages are not surpassed Kir arv rrv.intv in the state. The develop-nont of its infancy, sine- the mst fertile lands,-yet await the tillers hand, to make them the most productive of any in the state. The soil is so diversified that almost any crops produced in the South can be grown in the cbun tv Osin vegetables and fruit of manv k;nds; as well as cotton, the money crops of the South. Its climate and rain-fall are ideal and floods and tornadoes are not frequent. Its live stock iudustry is great: hogs, bheep. mules, cattle and I horses are raised, but this indus try is only in the beginning. The natural oasture lands of the co unty are supplied with grasses and clovers, that will feed the stack for six months of the year. This should be a great induce ment to home-seekers. The fishing industry is great; for che county is bordered by the Roanoke rivrr and Albermarle sound on two sides, and it also has a number of creeks and can als that furnish a great many fis4- botn forth-3 home and other markets. The herring, shad, rock and many other kinds of .fish are found. The transportation facilities are not surpassed any where, since we have a net work of rail-roads running through the county, and also a means of transportation by water, through out the county. The lumber iudustry is thriv ing and it urnishes employment to Ui-.'viiwiiUa; as does its sa and grist: mills, aiid other manu facturing plants. The commercial facilities are lde-J; for the county is dotted with the best banks, and bank ing system anywhere, since these banks are located not in one town, as is the case in many cour.ti- ?; tut are located in evcrj town in tne county. They are rendorii g great service both to the l.positor and borrower. Its me c nti!e and supply de partments are systematically distributed over the county, so that residents will not be incon venienced in getting their sup plies, or finding a market for their by products. The people in the rual dis tricts are not isolated from the towns and cities; since they have the Rural Mail Delivery ir. every section, whhh delivers the mail daily. The roads, even in the. worst winter weather, are never impassable to the mail carriers. The telephone sys tem is als6 a grat aid to the people in the rural d;stricts. The moral and religious train- ing are good, tor tne county is dotted with the best churches of various denominations. lhey are largely attended by its cit- , t iz?ns. n Its schools are unsurpassed by any county; since it has a term of not less than six months in 1 A J 1 1 every district in tne county. Nearly all of the districts com pete with the towns, since the children are graded and advance just as they are in towns. The schools are in the hands of a competnt crops of teachers, di rector, and Superintendent, who have the interest of che child at hsart. Taking all these things into consideration; Washington Co unty is an ideal place for home- seekers, you on this subject and aid you to increase your food crop. Yours very truly, W. B.

AUSBON, Clerk Superior Court. Alarming conditions confront i i m mi us as tne result or war. ine South has been fed largely from the West, but this year we mnst feed ourselves, because the Gov ernment will take the Western food supply for the armies. There will be wide-spread suf fering in the South before the year ends if food crops are not heavily increased. The only way to avert the impending calamity is for every farmer to raise plen ty of food for man and beast, By so doing he will reap a rich reward, because food is scarce the world over and food crops are sure to bring high prices, Tnis practical suggestion by the Southeastern Food Confer ence is worth while : On the average one horse farm in the South there should be planted in 1917, 5 acres in corn and velvet beans ; 5 acres in cow peas for hay, to be fol lowed bv winter oats ; not ex- eeedine: 10 aof es in cotton . 5 acres in peanuts to be crushed for oil or grazed down by hogs ; 1 1-2 acres in sweet potatoes to be fallowed by winter cover crops: 11-2 acres in alfalfa or crimson clover, cow peas or soy beans ; one acre in rape, Odts, vetch, cow peas or soy beans ; one acre in truck crops, followed by hay or grazing crops forhos; 10 acres should be set aside for Dasturage fov cows and hogs ; 1-2 acre in orchards and 1-2 acre in garden. This may be changed to sui". local conditions. The Washington County Bank is co-operating actively and o?.rn5stlv to that end and we will extend credit, encourage ment and moral support to those farmers who carry out this pol icy. This is a time when our country expects every man to do his duty and the farmer who will not co-operate to this extent is not entitled to the support of his fellow citizens. We feel that we can count on you in this emergency and will thank you to let us hear from you to that effect without delay, The U, S. Department of Ag riculture, through its Farm De monstrstion Agents, is co-opera ting in tnis movement ana you can get any assistance and any practical suggestions you may need from the nearest farm de monstration agent.
