As yocr paper has found Its way
ojrt here and it b to me like an
old friend I take tbe liberty to
wnte yoo a few lines. This let
ter may be of interest to some of
«y old friends in Gaston, al
though it htt btn a long time
•Inca I have lived in North Car
oHaa. The Gazette comes to
my niece. Him Lanra Arrowood.
She regards the paper the same
eetbe old farmers did tbe Salem
Almanac. When I was a boy
they used to swear by it and al
so made soap by it.
To-day is the first day we
have had that tbe sun hasn't
(honenacethe 2Wi day of last
October. The weather has been
fine here all winter; no snow an
$ 801 U seems as if
March has started In to makes
Ringtr." We farmers are gled to
see the snow, as tbe snow is our
dependence to make a good
crop. If we get plenty of aaois
tnre at this time of year, we feel
acre of a good crop.
Palmers have jnat started to
Prefer this crop The first
that wUi be planted is spring
•hte*. then oats end barley,
then sugar beets end then Irish
potatoes. Everything will be
planted by the 15th of May. All !
the small grain will be harvested 1
is August. Beets ead potatoes
*r*duejn October ead Novem
ber. The sugar beet is oar main
money mop here now; if tbe
fanners don't make the money, 1
tbe eager trust does.
S®B*J beets are five dollars a
ton delivered oa the can, and
they will produce from tea to
'"ulr »«»»■ per acre. I oe cost
to raise them and ret them
loaded oa tbe car* i* about thir
ty dollars per acre. We ship la
all the help to do tbe thinning,
boeiag. and topping ol the bectfc.
The help cornea from nearly all
Quarters of the globe, but most
ly Russians, Mexicans and Japs.
The Russians are tbe beat
8°®? bere toe any
fand of labor. Farm bands are
thirty dollars per month, with
board but there are not many wet
days.
Your humble servant would
like to have a couple of bosky
North Carolina boys with the
tar still oa their heels, to jump
"Nurdlei" here oa tbe farm at
the above price.
If this is fortunate enough
to miss the waste basket I will
write thereat wet day. I will
be like the old darky said when
be dictated tbe letter to tbe
lawyer: "Please excuse bad
writing," and will dose by
giving three hearty cheers for
the old North State.
Respectfully yours,
