tobacco. which made its bow as a
cash crop m 1930, is being ??M in
neighboring: cities at unusually high
prices, considering the market. One
farmer, residing in the western section
of the county, received $425 for
the weed harvested from a little
nioie than three-quarters of an acre
??f lanu. This sale was made on the
floor of a Johnson City (Tenn.) warehouse.
and many tobacconists who
viewed the golden offering adjudged
l the best sold in that town during
the season.
Diversification of crops is believed
bv many to be the cause of Watauga's
"luck" during the present critical
period. It is pointed out thai,
today three are probably not move
than twenty-live families within the
borders of this county who arc- not
Well .-upplied with food and clothing,
and those who are really anxious to
work are employed. The farmers of
the section, first of all, raise food
crops for their families, in the meantime
cultivating other acres ??f marketable
produce. If prices faU. they
are a;. tcasr. assured oi too<t lor ttieI
winter months without handicapping!
their next year's operations by a big!
grocery bill.
Probably the worst hit men in the J
county are the sleek raisers, many
of them Having been pressed for
reed, due' to'the short. hay crop occasioned
by last summer's drought.
Sfany herds of choice eat tie are being
wintered, however artd some of j
the loading- slqekinen are of the
opinion that prices -.v*11 lie stabilized
lurivig the present year. Purebred
stres navt replaced the scrub in Watauga.
and herds are of a higher order
than at any time in the past fif
ieeii yearit. !
Everything considered. this inoitn-j
ain province has been blessed. Not !
me -ingle business failure has been
geprded in Boone daring the n '
yeai and numerous local firms report
trade * iv i-i ases. While other seetions'
of North Carolina have had their failures
and "hard times." Watauga has
moved along in a cooi. cautious manner,
ixr.rei vir.g her revenues, earing?
foi her own institutions:. aiuly"prayeruilly
