Our Agricultural Efficiency.
-O
The Baltimore Sun is proud of the
fact that Maryland trails closely after
North Carolina and three other states
in the matter of “agricultural effi
ciency.” Perhaps it will be another
cause of congratulations for Tar
Heelia that her agriculture is ranged
nationally as a self-seeking industry,
about as near so as possible except in
the one particular of livestock. Any
how, it is sufficient to make the Balti
more Sun claim a share of the honor
for Maryland, which is done edito
rially in this wise:
Maryland stands among the
leaders in a special sort of agri
cultural efficiency. Its farmers
raise 78.5 per cent of all the food
which they eat, and a better , rec
ord than this is found only in four
other states—namely, Delaware,
Virginia, North Carolina and Utah.
The department of agriculture
gives this information and it treats
the subject as an important matter.
Obviously it is, for each farmer
should by all means raise as much
as possible of what he need?? for
bis own use. Transportation bv -
vail of food from one farming re
gion to another is necessary to
some extent, but it is^ disconcert
ing to tfiscover that 9 per cent of
the food which American farmers
eat is so transported, although it
might as well be grown in the lo
calities where it is consumed.
Those who know may be allowed
to tell why Maryland farmers
come so near to raising all the
food which they themselves need,
but the fact that they do is de
cidedly to their credit in these
days of transportation difficulties.
North Carolina farmers are given
credit by the United States agricul
tural department for producing some
80 per cent of the requirements of the
farms in food and feedstuffs. That
may be surprising to many mere ob
servers, but North Carolina produces
. record crops of the 22 leading Ameri
can-farm products, and in that re
j spect she stands fourth among the
.five leading states, the rank being as
• follows: Texas, $594,619,000; Iowa,
$418,414,000; Illinois; $386,017,000;
North Carolina, $298,044,000; Califor
nia $226,170,000.
Fifth is North Carolina’s farm rec
/ ord in the value of all crops, the five
> leading states ranking as follows:
Texas, $716,408,00<h Iowa, $454,787,
000; .Illinois, $419,584,000; California,
■3 $418,833,000; North Carolina, $342,
■ 637,000.
1 In total crop values for 1922 North
f Carolina fell back approximately $10,
! 000,000, owing to boll weevil damage,
but her increase in the value of 22
leading crops she gained $77,467,000.
The significance of that is that North
Carolina’s agriculture made a great
stride towards being self sustaining.
North Carolina’s importation of
' food and feedstuffs are due to North
* Carolina’s industrial and urban pop
ulation. Only 20 per cent of the feed
and foodstuffs coming from other
;v' states Is for our farmers. The other
v' go per cent Is to feed the city and in
dustrial population. Since that 80
/ per cent is a huge amount, the farm
ers can raise surplus diversified crops
and find an almost 100 per cent home
market right here in the state.

Making a city fit to live In Is the
function of a progressive municipal
administration. Year by year, White
ville is becoming a good residential
town, as well as a growing town.
Bonds have been sold for the purpose
of installing a waterworks system,
and for the construction of an electric
lighting plant, and now the prelimi
nary arrangements are being made
for beginning work on both plants.
Somewhere down in the southeast
ern neck of North Carolina, there is
bound to be a city, and Whiteville is
going to- be it. Few county seat towns
in North Carolina have made the sub
stantial progress scored by Whiteville
during the past ten years. White
ville's new -c9urt house is a handsome
structure, and her new hotel is wor
thy of a town much larger. White
ville’s. paved streets are impressive,
especially the boulevard, connecting
Whiteville and Vineland, which are
vigorous Siamese twins. The evi
dences of prosperity in each are man
ifest on all sides, and while they are
I separate towns, a stranger would not
■ know it. They have about grown to
gether. They have progressive banks,
good schools and prosperious business
houses.
The Whiteville News Reporter is
one of the best county papers in
North Carolina, and we expect Editor
Keziah most any time to claim 3,000
population for his two towns in one.
Whiteville is a tobacco warehouse
market and it is a good cotton mar
ket when the staple is produced to
any extent. However, the boll weevil
picked Columbus county for its pio
neer devastation in North Carolina,
and cotton production in the county
may not exceed 3,000 to 4,000 bales
this year. Nevertheless, the boll wee
vil cuts no ice with the prosperity of
a county so marvelously resourceful
as Columbus. She grows fine yellow
tobacco, and her strawberry produc
tion brings into the country several
hundred thousand dollars in April
and May. Columbus grows more pa
pershell pecans than any county in
North Carolina, and her progress in |
swine and poultry raising is hardly |
exceeded by any county in the state.
Even Whiteville has become the cen
ter of a new strawberry industry, and
effort's are being made to make it a
station for the refrigerated train ser
vice of the Atlantic Coast Line this
spring. Just now there is plenty do
ing in Columbus. Here are just a few
early glimpses furnished by the
Whiteville News Reporter:
Many growers have Already pre
pared their tobacco beds and have
the seed sown. Within another
week or two travelers who are
unacquainted with tobacco grow
ing will be wondering at the can
vass covered beds that will be
dotting the roadside all over the
county. A hundred miles or so
further inland farm work can
hardly be said to commence until
along about the middle of March.
In Columbus everything gets a
move on itself with the advent of
the new year. One can go any
where in Columbus now and find
people busily engaged in cujtivat
ing and hoeing strawberries. This
crop, by the way. is said to be ex
ceptionally promising and the ex
pectations are ^for a big produc
tion of the berries in Columbus.
Largely as a result ot'the poul
try exhibit at the county fair last
fall there is now a great deal of
interest being manifested in poul
try raising in this county. Mr.
Lazar and Miss Lankford, county |
and home agents, are working co
operatively in this matter. 51r.
Lazar reports quite a bit of recent
activity looking towards ' better
poultry raising. Mr. C. D. Har
relson of Tabor has just recently
built a modern brooder house and
a 100-hen poultry house. He has
bought a good incubator and has
taken off the second hatch of 140
chicks. He had _160 in-the first.
Mr. II. P. Britt has finished a 200
chick brooder house and has off a
hatch from his large incubator.
He has also bought a second in
cubator and a 'good brooder stove.
Mr. B. B. Blake is now building a
200-chick brooder house. Mr. B. S.
Britt hought a large incubator
this weelc and there are others
making similar ventures- or plan
ning to at an early date."
Farmers in this county are
yearly becoming more alive to the
Importance of agricultural lime on
wet lgnds. One dealer here in
Whiteville has made two sales of
100 tons each to be used on farms
in the county, and many smaller
sales are being made dally. One
of the buys of 100 tons are Messrs.
Kichard and Hone Lewis. They
will use it on their farm at Cat
Tail Bay, 12 miles below White
ville. About 250 acres of the
Lewis farm is cultivated In corn,
half one year and the other half
the next. The land is low-lying
and somewhat marshy and ordi
nary fertilizers do. not prove satis-,
factory. Corn and hogs are the
chief productions on the place and
It is understood that the plans are
to make this place a hog farm,
growing enough corn for all needs.
About 90 head of hogs are now
on the place and this number will
be increased shortly until they j
hopg t0 have enough for two or
three car loads for the packing
houses this summer.
A Virginian recently informed The
Star that he had located in Columbus
to go into the farm dairy industry,!
and while ho found all the adaptabil
ities for that branch of farm industry;
even more remarkable than he antic-,
lpated, he had to limit his efforts be
cause there is no creamery market in'
Wilmington. However, he devoted:
himself to diversified production of a
kind that makes cotton growing* look
like 30 cents. He never grew any cot
ton in his life and says he doesn’t
have to grow cotton in a county that,
will produce numbers of crops worth
more than cotton to any farmer. He
proposes to remain in Columbus and
grow up with.' the county.
Whitevillehas a chamber of com
merce and its activities include pro
motion work in the entire county as
well as afcrthh. county seat. ■ The chain-,,
ber is ®<rw ' making a fight for Just
freight irates to all points in the
county. Whiteville is the home of
Representative Homer Lyon, and our
sixth district congressman has assur
ed the Whiteville chamber that he
will render' all the assistance possible
at Washington. Columbus wants rea
sonable freight rates, for she expects
to greatly increase her shipments of
strawberries and truck this season, j
Her swine raisers want low carload
rates so they can ship their hogs to
the packing house market. Columbus
has folk who will do things and all
they want is a wide open chance.
Sooner or later- Columbus expects to
furnish* more carload shipments of
hogs than .she ever did of cotton.

Expedient and Inexpedient. |
The New York Times marvels at j
the shifting aboijt of diplomatic ver- j
biage as it is used by the Harding ad-!
ministration. The Times says, for in
stance:
The state department has made
large use of a truly blessed word
in explaining its policy and
changes of policy. The familiar
' phrase, "It is expedient/’ is used
again in connection with the or
der withdrawing’ our troops from
’ the Rhine. When President" Hard
ing wrote his letter to Senator
Lodge deprecating the Boran
amendment,’ it was explained that
such a measure was not regarded
by the administration as expedi
ent. At that time, judging by one
of the expressions of the presi
dent. it was apparently thought
by the government to be highly
expedient that this country should
have a representative on the rep
arations commission. But at the
end of last week this had become
"inexpedient,"’ according to the
reply given by Secretary Hughes
to inquiring senators. It purely is
a convenient word whicB, like the
“bountiful answer” in the p.lay.
fits all questions. Now expediency
is always "• related to something
else. It does not stand as a good
in and of itself. If there is a
■clearly defined and firmly held
-foreign policy, a measure may be
dubbed expedient or inexpedient
according as it is an aid, or a hin
drance, in carrying out that
policy.
We have to admit that at one time
or other a thing may be expedient but
may become inexpedient .under chang
ed circumstances. However, it Stakes
all the difference in th world, as to
who is to be the judge of the appro
priate time for action: Last Saturday
when the senate passed the resolution
of Senator Reed, suggesting the with
drawal of American 'troops from
France, President Harding objected to
it on the ground of "inexpediency.”
By an overwhelming vote, the semte
regarded the recall of our troops as
entirely expedient. Within thrfee days
the .president decided, to order aui
troops home, so his plea of inexpe
diency was abandoned for a policy of
expediency, in line with the senate
attitude.
After all, we shall have to suspend
judgment as to the expediency or in
expediency of the recall of ,.oor- sol
diers, till we can judge from future
results of our abandonment of Ger
many at a time when France began
to carry out her military adventure.
We do not suppose there will be any
dispute about the fact that “adminis
tration inaction” has resulted: in this
embarrassment for our government.
Inaction has brought th# administra
tion face to face with a problem
which it should have talren action
about long ago. We are at least two
years too late.
o
Thieving Trickery
Negro boys have again revived the
practice of calling at homes and ask
ing for suits of clothes for pressing
clubs. These thieves acquaint them
selves with the conditions, so that
when they appear they invariably
give the right name of . the pressing
club and call the^ name of the gentle
man whose suit is inquired for, so
that the servant who delivers the suit
is naturally misled and imposed upon.
This annoyance has cropped up re
peatedly for a long while, and it
seems to us that the pressing clubs
should adopt some plan whereby theY
would give receipts for suits when de
livered to their messengers on sta
tionery of the pressing club. This, or
some other safety device, should be
employed by some concert' of action
by the pressing clubs.
‘-*—o
The order withdrawing American
troops from Germany seems to have
hurt France feelings. France seems
to have been unmindful of the possi
bilities of her Insouciance with re
gard to the Washington government’s

In the house of representatives at
Washington a few days* ago, Repre
sentative Crothers of New York -read
numerous newspaper articles breath
ing optimism about the industrial
and business outlook for this year.
He assumed at once .that it actually
meant prosperity and he launched
into a. speech giving file outrageous
tariff law all the credit for the- eco
nomic improvement manifest in the
United States. Well, it has been more
than four years since the armistice,
and it ought to strike every one that
conditions would improve themselves
in that time. Proseperity possibly
may come in spite of the tariff. but
the numerous optimistic prophesies
broadcasted at the beginning' of the
new year was only a way of shooting
the bull. Conditions in some parts of
the country have improved, but many
portions do not feel any alleged buoy
ant effects of a tariff, which econom
ically retards business instead of help
ing it. A-cheerful and even hopeful
outlook is good of itself, but a real
satisfactory state of affairs actually
depends on conditions to be met with
next fall. The hopes we have certainly
can not be based on a tariff which
adds to the alerady great burdens of
the people. It is not a good idea to
fool ourselves till we actually get out
of the woods.

WITHDRAWAL OF OUR TROOPS
President Harding's decision that
American troops are to be withdrawn
from the Rhine, as announced by the
secretary of state, comes at an un
favorable moment, when it is likely to
be subject to considerable misinter
pretation. It may not be intended as
a criticism upon French policy, and
may be the outgrowth of a desire to
keep American troops out of a zone of
possible trouble. Almost Inevitably it
will be given a broader significance.
This may have been intended by the
members of congress who secured the
passage of , the recent resolution on
the subject, .
According-to thi’ -Information non*
made publics Sue notification was sent
to France'gbihe time ago that in the
event of an', Invasion^ of the Ruhr our
present action would be inevitable.
No doubt the diplomatic .reiiuirements
of the case have been complied with.
But the fact remains that our action
occurs at a very critical moment, and
public opinion both here and abroad is
nearly certain to interpret it as a di
rect rebuke to French policy, at least
in the absence of more satisfactory
explanations than have been given.
It may well be that this withdrawal
ought to have been effected some time
ago. That, however, was not done,
and our action at present has the
more significance since it has been so
long deferred. Precisely how this will
affect our reported offer to mediate or
aid in determining reparations is not
clear, but it can hardly help tl* pros
pects of that proposal. The faction de
termined. upon at Washington thus
adds materially to the complexity, and
apparently tends to increase the em
barrassment of our foreign relations.

HOPELESS MINORITIES
It'M3 the Irony of fate that the only
! place ip the world which bears the
name ‘'Minor" should be the land
where the minor peoples have no fu
ture—the land of hopeless minorities.
| Yesterday's report from Lausanne in
timates that the allies have abandon
ed hope of securing special guaran
tees for them or a permanent home.
A note of poignancy is added by the
separation of fathers from mothers
and children. The report of Mr. Allen
T. Burns of the national information
bureau, who has just returned from
Russia and the near east,: states that
the breadwinners of ,a naif million
women and children and old men refu
gees in Greece are held in Anatolia as
hostages. Unless they can be reunit
ed with their families, Judge Payne,
' the head of the American Red Cross,
is quoted as saying the "ending of the
need for American charity is indefi
nitely remote."
America has made eloquent insist
ence at Lausanne, But we have taken
no responsible part, arid as The Times
correspondent at Lausanne says the
net resUH^at tile end of eight weeks’
discussion' of ominorities’’ is that they
will get just what the Turks proposed
before the Lausanne conference, and
that is practically nothing more than
the minorities have, had in the past.
If anything can be worse than their
past, it is the future which these Asian
minorities, ne&rest to Europe and
America, are facing today. If Glad
stone or Lord Bryce were at Lausanne
It might be different.—New York

(Special to the Star)
KINSTON, Jan. 12.—The authorities
here today admitted they were at sea
regarding-' the, identify of incendiarists
belieyed to have been wreaking ven
geance upon Ltuther P. Tapp for some
fancied injury'. The motive for two
fires which have dost-Tapp- thousands
of dollars jremamtd a” mystery. The j
first of these blazes occurred the morn
ing of December 23, when a student
passing the Atlantic warehouse, leased
by Tapp from the B. W. Canady estate
^or many years, discovered “two or
three men" about a blaze in the center ,
of the building. Mr. Tapp at the time (
could conceive Of no reason for the ,
•apparent Incendiarism. I
The blaze yesterday morning which
gutted Tapp’s fine home in Northwest j
Kinston was believed by neighbors to
have been incendiary. The Are started ,
in the rear of the house. One report,
said the flames were first noticed on th
back, porch. They quickly ate their j
way through the big dwelling. The j
firemen found the blaze difficult to cope
with. The interior of the house was ■
filled with smoke and fire. Water and ,
flames did $29,000 damage before the !
fire -was brought under control, it was
estimated. The dwelling is one of the
largest in the district, and with con
tents probably represented on outlay
of $40,000 before the fire.
Tapp has been in the tobacco busi
ness here longer than any other man
on the market. He has taken an active
part in polities, and was at Raleigh as
a member of the state senate when his
home was fired. Mrs. Tanp was away
from home, as were the two daughteis
of the family. His most intimate ac
quaintances today could not understand
why Senator Tapp should have an ene
my, even for political reasons. Tne
one slight clue that has been advanced
indicates that the incendiarists do not
reside within the corporate limits of
the citvj* Bach, fire occurred at a time
when there was little wind. This, the
arson adherents believe, betokened
consideration for other property
owners.
