V THE ROANOKE BEACON C V. W. AUSBON Editor, and PublUher. S. AUSBON PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY. Plymouth, N. C, Friday, June 29th, 1917. Food Products Bought in This County. According to the returns given Dr. B. W. Kilgore, Director of the Extension Service, by mer chants in this county we are buy ing a great deal of food and feed products that we should by all means grow with-in our own borders. Dr. Kilgore, sent to the merchants in this county blanks to be filled out as to the amount ot food and feed pro ducts that each of them bought for sale in the county, that was grown outside our state, and when they are tabulated they show us very conclusirely that we are sending out of Washing ton County a great deal for these products that should by all means ' be kept in our county for other good purposes. Last year thirteen merchants reported to Dr. Lilgore, and spvpmI nf t.hp larcpr merchants! were not included inthislist. yet) it gives us an idea as to what we are dome. The following a- mounts of the food and feed pro duct3 were purchased by Wash ington County merchants out side of North Caralina; Corn-1685 bushels. Hay-316 Tons, Corn meal-1262 bu., Meat.101,300 lb Hams-1,150 lbs., Flour-7,346 barrels, Oats-3.525 bu.. Cases pf canned goods-4, 432, Feed stuff s- 8 tons. Judging by some of the a mounts of these products bought by several of our merchants and taking into consideration that several did not get their reports in this I beleive that the follow ing estimate of the products used in our county will be very conservative:. Corn, 5,000 bu.; Hay, 500 Uns; Corn Meal, 2,500 bu.; Meat (other than hams) 200,000 pounds; Flour, 12,000 barrels; Oats, 6,000 bu.; cases of canned goods, 7,000; feed stuffs, 500 tons. It is a fact that all these pro ducts can be raised in Our county at a great deal less cost than that which we have to pay for them and you can draw your own conclusions as to the con dition our county would be in agriculturally and financially were we to grow all these pro , ducts at home. Why not produce all lood and feed products in Washington County that we need ? Glance over the above products and see if you were one of the men to purchase these products last year, and resolve nrt to do so any more, not that we want to cut out the mei chants' business, but to make him and Washington County better by doing it. In next week's Beacon there will appear an article on wheat growing for the fall, so if you1 are contemplating growing your own flour for next year, ycJ want to start the crop rigj We can grow good wheat in over the county and the that we can be self suppoij Very truly yours.
