There ere three e*??nti?l condi
tions necessary to make rural life
pleasant and profitably in any
country: (1) climate; (2) good pen
pie (3) a soil sufficiently fertile to
return to it* tiller a reasonable re
ward for his labor.
Most counties enjoy one or more
of these conditions, but seldom do
you find a county with all of these
requirments as uuo ideal as set*
tiers will find in this level, alluvial
secthtn of Eastern North Carolina.
With a summer temperature which
rarely exceeds 90 decrees, and a
winter seldom lower than 15 de
crees above freezing, with little
snow, making ja climate as near
ideal for the continual abode of
men and beast as din be desired, it
is populated by a people who have
persistently cultivated a broad and I
generous hospitality, until it has j
become a part of their nature. So
pronounced is this characteristic of
our people, that it is a subject for
comment for strangers first visit
ing in our county.
, The soil is rich and wonderfully
(Mto*4Slve to intelligent uian&ge
me:ft. No country permits a wid
er ?I rtah agriculture possi
bilities t^n this. Here it is that
the co-n M&*tu*iaql i? -sites ibe
garden of his dr?_jva.. The. cli
mate is so tnild, tlwsMHv^Hgh|
aive. that great crop, of
clover end vetch can bo grown]
during winter and early spiingNI
and turned under early enough to
grow 75 to 100 bushels of corn, or
13 to 26 tons of insllage pet acre,
without further fertilization, and
be clear of tfiis crop in plenty of
time to seed to oats, which will
yield 50 to 75 bushels of Igrain by
the fallowing June, and the grow
two to', four tons of cowpea or aoy
bean hay per acre, before frost.
Many such rotations are possi
ble here, and the soil seems to ap
preciate being busy 12 months in
the year. This combination of
soil s:id climate conditions permit
ti: _ and inviting this to be done,
embraces a zone where tire natural
advantages are such that beef and
pork are being produced on pas
ture as cheaply as in and section ,
of our cofinr.rv
With our corn-planting period
extending from March 15 to July
15 and officials records alio wing more
than 200 bushels per acre; with cot
ton, tobacco and peanuts, which
head the list of theSouth's "ready
money" crops, reaching the zenith
[>f their production here: where on
the same farm we may pass and
idmire a wondarJjAl growth of
heavy green corn, and just to the
right or left see cotton growing
tnd flourishing as a weed; then
itop and study a bumper crop of
my beans or peanuts: then inspect
fat cattle, sheep, and hogs, lying
jy a luxuriant growth of clover
ind grass?surely a section which
nvites all these conditions on the
lame farm, where erosion is un- ?
mown, and drouth is not to be
?econed with, looks good to me.
