STATISTICIAN ISSUES A
REPORT ON FARM CROPS
(By FRANK PARKER)
Now that farmers can begin to see
the economic light of day and are in
the midst of preparation for the new
year, the February farm notes for
North Carolina has both a news and
economic value.
The small grains are looking good,
but perhaps not stooling as well .as if I
colder weather had existed. A de
creased use of fertilizers has also add
ed to the less thrifty conditions in
certain sections. The wet winter
weather has somewhat prevented the
usual planting of spring oats. Pre
paration for spring planting is ahead
of usual in Georgia and even eastern
North Carolina. Where wet weather
doesn't affect the soil as much in
Piedmont, or clay areas. The pros
pective exception of a favorable op
portunity for North Choline's cotton
production undoubtedly means an in
crease in the acreage this year, even
over last year's large planting. This
is particularly true along the northern
cotton border counties where the
weevil has, as yet, done no damage.
The Southern state's crops are being
planted earlier than usual.
Peanuts are still an uncertain
quantity, but there will probably be
some increase in the northeastern
part of this state for the present crop.
There will probably be an increase
also in the southeastern counties
where the weevil was so destructive
in 1?22.
nr?'*k?- UL. ? _u ii?

probability for an increase in acreage.
Practically all of the crop ia disposed
of, amounting to somewhat less than
300,000,000 pounds for the North
Carolina bright leaf crop made last
year. Undoubtedly the favorable
prices have been influenced by the
Co-operative Marketing Association.
The winter has been so mild that
pastures and winter cover crops have
held their green condition better than
usual. In fact no winter damage has
been found on any crop.
Truck and fruit crops have pros
pects for increase, in. view of favor
able prices for last year. This is
most especially true of lettuce, straw
beries, dewberries, and peaches, than
any other.
The southeastern, or boll weevil
area of the state, is seeking substitute
crops to replace cotton. Columbus
and Brunswick counties were practi
cally eaten up by the weevil last year.
This area will advance north into sev
eral new counties during the present
season. Instead of farmers taking
advantage of experience of all coun
ties and states south of them, they
will probably put in a full acreage,
hoping to make a "killing" this year.
The use of fertilisers is still in
doubt for this year. Large move
ments are taking place in certain
areas, with present prospects for gen
eral increases. One of the principal
aims of this is to make the best cot
ton crop ever before produced in
North Carolina.
Movements of farm labor from the
country to industrial centers con
tinues, for farmers are unable to
meet competitive urban prices. Too,
the use of the automobile makes rural
people dissatisfied with their long
hours of labor, low renumeration and
lack o{ recreation, as compared with
the opposite conditions existing in
towns.
Not much farm work has been ac
complished during the past month,
due to unfavorable weather. The
roads have been in bad condition
much of the time, except in sand
areas. The general farm ou&ook,
and particularly the optimism is much
better than a year ago, however there
?re many areas whicfi are still in bad
shape form many standpoints. Idle
land will probably increase in the
most heavily weevil infested counties
of this state, as has been true of
states south of us, with increasing
damages from this cause.
The farmer must realize that he Is
part of a big hnsinm industry, tsd
must employ modern methods to Win
in present day competition. This
means that he must recognise existing
conditions and trends, and, by view
ing these various factors, make his
plans accordingly. The hit or miss,
or guesswork planting is a dangerous
business. The farmers day will come
only when there is true cooperation
and co-ordination or practices by this
industry. . California's conspicuous
advantage and advance in an agricul
tural way has been gained through
this means. Their large number of
cooperative marketing organizations
distinctly spell modern business meth
ods. Oor southland can gain absolute
control of several crops by similar
methods. Such efficiency will, not
only mean etabliration, but every ad
vantage to the farming industry and
to all others as well. The farmer,
more than any other, is a traitor,?
he doesn't keep his money, so the
more he makes the more business
others do. The farmers' welfare al
ways spells general prosperity.
