Raleigh, June 20.—The ilrst year
of cooperative marketing has result
ed in an Increased payment of thirty-
six million dollars to tobacco grow-
e^^ of Virginia and North Carolina
alone.
According to the recent report of
the Federal Reserve Board, thert
was 'a 46 per cent Increase In the
average price per hundred pounds
for bright tobacco in Virginia whert
the growers received $42,000,000 fo»
their crop this past season as com
pared with $19,000,000 In 1921-22
Final returns for the North Caro
lina' .growers were approximately
$76,000,000, an Increase of $13,000.-
000 over tho preceding year, accord
ing to the Federal Reserve Board's
statement.
In spite of a decrease of over 84,-
000,000 pounds in the exports of
United States tobacco to foreign
countries, reported by the Depart
ment of Commerce, and In spite of
Increased production in Virginia and
North Carolina, the first season in-
which tobu'cco growers of this sec
fion have organized for marketing
their crop, has resulted in raising
the price of their product at prac
tically ail points in the tobacco
areas.
With 240,000 farmers now mar
keting over 600,000,000 pounds of
tobacco through their cooperative as
sociations, the planters of Kentucky
Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee have
also experienced the benefit of .a
steady rise in prices. Prom present
indications organized tobacco farm
ers of America will market more
than a half of the total crop of the
United States during the season of
1923.
The benefits of cooperative .mar
keting to the farmers of South Caro
lina were described by the Commis
sioner of Agriculture for that state
In his annual report as follows:
“While the 1922 cropp of tobacco
was practically as large as that of
1921 and the quality was no better,
the price was nearly 100 per cent
higher. The re.sult of cooperation.”
HOn CHOrRRA M588, BUT
HERDS MUST BR WATOHRD
A hog which remains in good
health from the day he is farrowed
until he is loaded on a market hound
train Is usually a satisfaction to the
farmer, the packer, and the consum
er. But there are many diseases and
parasites which beset him during the
few months allotted for his economic
performance: If this performance I.*;
to be a creditable one, says the De
partment of Agriculture, the hog
grower must keep close watch over
nls herd and learn to know some
thing of the symptoms which Indi
cate the possible approach of dan
gerous disease.
Hog cholera is the great enemy
of the swine industry, although it
has been diminishing in importance
as a result of widespread use of
anti-hog-cholera serum. It has been
reduced by about 60 per cent from
the losses during the most disastrout
year.s, but with greater care and bet
ter understanding of the plague it
could he reduerd to a much greater
extent.
With the gradually Increasing con
trol of this disease, it, is important
that swine growers give attention to
the many other ailments which cause
losses, some of which are frequently
confused with cholera. Among the
diseases with symptoms confused
with those of cholera are anthrax,'
epilepsy, gastroenteritis, necrofoacil-
losls, pleurisy, pneumonia, poisoning,
iwlne plague, tuberculosis, and
worms.
When there Is any deviation from
the normal In gait, appetite, or di
gestion, it is time for the owner to
take measures to prevent possible
Insse.s. Minor ailments often can be
successfully treated by the owner,
but in case of doubt it is the part of
wisdom to call for a veterinarian.
Announcing that the Browning
Revival Party would make Mt. Airy
N, its next point instead of. Duke
as at first planned. Rev. Raymond
Browning took occasion yesterday
morning and again last evening to
pay his respects to Mr. Will Erwin
of i.he'Erwin Mills Cdmpany, Duke
for Mr. Erwin^s refusal to allow
teni. to be pitched upon ground be
longing to the company. “By his
careless, thoughtless action, or cou-
temptlble tyranny, I do not know
which. Will Erwin hae deprived the
people of Duke of the privilege of
thrqo weeks of revival meetings,"
stated Mr, Browning.
^lr. Browning explained that when
hegotlatlons had been entered into
between himself and the people at
Duke, he was toid that the only ob
stacle that might stand in the way
would'be the gaining o;’ consent from
Mr. Erwin to allow the tent to be
pitched on ground belonging to the
mill company. He had waited sev-
.eral days for this .consent, he said,
onl}; to be informed that the other
churches thought it best not to at-
teinpt to hold the meetings at this
tltno.
“But I do not believe there was
anything to that. 1 believe that Will
Erwin, who has never earned a dol
lar in his life but "has inherited bis
fortune, has refused to allowthe
the I meetings to be held at Duke and

tion, or through concemptible tia’-
anny, has deprived the people who

Miss Hosford has by her personal

Opinion of those religiously in

ing these religious services.”
Mr, Browning states; that while he
was holding' revival meetings in a
cotton mill town in ar other part of
the stale, the miU' management be
came much incensed at his denounce
ment of the management for their
failure to pay their employes a liv
ing wage. Shortly after the meet
ings came to a close, -he said, there
was a raise in waget,, granted the
employes. Mr. Browning seemed to
be under the impresiifon that the
mill concern had "passed the word
along.”
Mr. Browning state^l that he was
superintendent of a Sunday school In
the town in which •the elder Erwin
built his first mil), "which was alkout
hai!' a mile long; but ho erected a
church about the size of this little
platform.. That’s the kind of people

Mr. Browning annoi'inced that Mt.

meetings being open to all,
Tuesday afternoon at 3 o^cloek a
special sermon was preached to''wo
men only, and there was a large at
tendance" notwithstanding the exces
sive heat of the day. Tuesday night
Mr], Browning delivered a sermon
upon the "Second Coming of the
Lord,” at which time he invited in
quiry upon any relaiJve problems
that might weigh upon the minds of
those present. A number of -qUes-
tipnp* .-were answered . by him, after
whic'h he preached hit- sermon upon
the'subject, the audience paying the
closest attention. It v'as at this' ser
vice that he impressed the people
—more vividly probaibly tlian at any
meeting—of his thorough and in
tense s^dy of. the Scriptures.
' Equally as much appreciated was
his sermon last evening upon the
subje'et of Sanctification, or Holiness
as it is termed by some. At this
service the preacher also . invited
questioning. Points were raised by
various members of his audience and
he made answer to every query. One
point he dwelt upon was his belief
in the ability of peo’ple live. a life
without sin—^that the atoning blood
of the dying Saviour wa'” equally as
potent in absolving from sin as- It
ever was In the forgiveness of sin.
This M&B probably the most interest

CARE OF PAiSTURES IN
' THE SUMMER TIME
Raleigh, June 20.—^"The pasture
of tame grasses, usually Us owner's
delight in the spring months, is like
ly to become a severe disappointment
daring the summer unless carefully
managed,” says E. C. Blair, Exten
sion Agronomist for the State Col
lege and Department of Agriculture.
Mr. Blair states that orchard grass,
redtop, alilke clover, wbite clover,
and others in that class are natives
of a climate much colder than ours.
In Eastera North Carolina these
grasses will thrive In the spring and
fall, and at these times will carry a
large amount of livestock. But in
the summer growth is retarded, and
in hot dry weather ceases altogether.
In suggesting how these grasses
should be handled during the sum
mer Mr., Blair says: "If grazed toe
heavily at this time of the year the
pasture will be permanently dam
aged or killed outright. A pasture
less than, one year, old is most apt
to suffer most in this way,''since Us
root system Is not fully developed.
"Of great importance In preserv
ing any pasture Is to give it alter
nate periods of grazing and rest.
This Is dou'hly true iL there is a small
pasture for a number of livestock.
In. such cases a fence should be built
across -the pasture dividing It in
halves. Bach halt should have two
weeks of complete rest while the
animats graze the other half. If the
weather is too dry,, or the number
of animals large, they should be al
lowed la the pasture tor only a short
white each day.
"Another practice worth following
is to cHp the pasture as often a.-i
-neoessai^ to keep weeds from going
to .seed. This 'will tend to make
fewer weeds each year; instead of
more as Is the case when they are
neglected.
"The expense of starting a tame
grass pastur ecan be justified only
by the fact that it should. last for
five years or more. Many a pasture
has had 'a'promising start, only to be
lost by Improper care during its first
summer.”

TO INVli»'nOAT£ DEEP
RIVER WATER POWER
Chapel Hill, June 20.—The party
sent out under the direction ut the
hydraulic engineer of the Survey to
make an Investigation of Deep river
as an industrial water power unit
has taken the field following the
commencement at the university.
The purpose of the investigatloq
Ls to consider Deep river as a unit
to be developed Into a self-sustain
ing and co-ordinating power are.Y
unique in Isdustrlal North Carolina.
Headwaters are to be studied in con
nection with establishment of stor
age reservoli's and undeveloped sites
which would be of benefit to the
power needs of tha river as a whole.
The Investigation' will include con
sideration of plang for erection qf
tf8nsmis.ston lines between existing
plants now maintaining separate
power sy.stetn3 and a central steam
plant as a means of economically
supplementing the water power when
necessary. The investigation will
also include means of economic re
moval of the silt which now lessens
the water power, and its commercial
utilisation.
The inve«itigatlon and survey, de
cided upon months ago, is of special
interest at this time 'on account of
the recent report upon the Deep
rirev'ooal field, .adjacent to the ex-
liytlng Industrial development along
this river.'

NOW ORDAINED
TO LIST THEIR PROPERTY
List takers appoitated to make ab
stracts of all taxabies in Harnett
county have completed- their job and
are ready to make y^eiir report to the
county auditor. Acting upon the pre
sumption that this year will prove no
exception to the case. County Audi
tor D. P. McDonald hqa had printed
notices reading as follows:
“The list taker for your‘township
has returned you unlisted. The law
provides for a penalty or indictment'
horns” and endeavoring to learn the
why and wherefore before the tax
books are made out.
Auditor McDonald Is unable to un
derstand why there should be such a
large number of people who ^vade
the tax listers. It anyone has been
"getting by” heretofore with tailare
to list, that is no reason why there
should' never bo called a halt on the
practice, says the anditor.
Those who ar .elntimately acquaint-
against ail who do not list for taxa-.ed with Auditor^ D. P. McDonald feel
tiou. You will at once show cause quite sure that'when he says "the

This notice will be sent' to all
property owners whose names do not
appear on the lists as famished by
the list takers.
In fornrer years it has been the
case that hundreds of .property oum-
ers did not make any pretense at

as "after listed” and taxes collected
