The following from the Extension
Farm News of the State Board of Ag
i,rttre elves a good idea of the ex
cellence of farm investment In North
Carolina, Few people think raiwh

to the farmer, generally con
sidering that the farmer earns about
-ii ,. "increment" he gets, but it
arrears the value of North Carolina

annually from 1900 to 1910-high

of North Carolina during me yr.w

I crops grown in North Carolina durhi,;
the previous year amounted to Jis-,-890

farm buildings, equipment and 11 ve
stock on the farms was $10-.67i,4i-.
. t in nr-r cent tf the
lvalue of the one year's crop as given
above, and If we distribute this per
cent increase- in value ovsr the ton
year period, it seems that the 1 armor
'has been aMe to put at least . per
cent of the value of his crops into
Tetter equipment, more and better ve
stock, and Improved farm liuUdlu-sa.
"Putting thla money into ihesa im
provements is equivalent to nialaB
that much profit above his
pense. Not only has the farmer bet
tered himself by improving his farm,
v,. lnnreased In value
during the same length of time about
142.5 per cent or $202,209,105 so he
has the value ot tnis unw"
