GRAHAM, N.C., June 3, 1926.
North Carolinians, Incoporated.
A "New North State" develop
ed by its own people from the Old
North State, is the subject of the
first official pamphlet issued by
the organization committee of
North Carolinians, Incorporated,
iu connection with its campaign
for funds to advertise North Car
olina to the world.
The folder, printed in light
blue and conforming to the state's
colors, gives in seven pages a not
altogether prosaic summary of the
plans and activities of North Car
olinians, Incoporated, to advertise
in a well directed campaign the
opportunities and resources of the
state through newspapers, maga
zines and trade journals of nation
al circniation. The pamphlet is
being mailed to hundreds of rep
resentative citizens in all sections
of North Carolina, from tempor
ary organization headquators at
211 Jefferson Standard Building,
Greensboro.
The history of this young or
ganization is dealt with briefly:
"For several years progressive
business men have discussed the
proposition of selling North Car
olina to the world through adver
tising. There has been a most
remarkable unanimity of opinion
in favor of snch an undertaking,
but not until this year was the
thought chrystalized into action.
North Carolina, Incorporated, is
the development of many discus
sions, several meetings and
much correspondence among sev
al hundred business men from
practically every city and town
in the state."
In just as concise a manner
does the pamphlet present the
reason for the organization's ex
istence; It is "a non-profit body
incorporated under the laws of
North Carolina, a voluntary or
ganization of citizenb, created to
advertise the natural advantages
and resources of all North Caro
lina throngh articles and display
advertising in magazines and
newspapers of National circula
tion; and to act as a clearing
house for diseminating inquiries
resulting from this advertising to
the cities, Jowns and communities
co-operating in the movement.
It is designed to bring to North
Carolina more good people to util
ize the unused farm lands; to
build additional manufacturing
industries; to attract an over in
creasing number of home build
ers, tonrists and pleasure seekers.
The sole purpose is to promote the
agricultural, commercial, indus
trial, residential and resort devel
opment of the entire state."
The plans follow: "It is plan
ned to enlist state-wide support
and interest in order to seoure an
Adequate fund to advertise the
natural resources, advantages and
business opportunities of the
state. To accomplish this, $150,-
000 will be required for the first
year's operations."
"Tell it to North Carolinians,
Sell it to the World,"is the slogan
adopted by the organization com
mittee. Included in the pamph
let are letters of endorsement by
Senators F.' M. Simmons and Lee
S. Overman and Governor A. W.
McLean. Included also is a copy
of the certificate of incorporation
signed by Fred N. Tate, of High
Point; L. H. Hole, Jr., of Greens
boro; C.O.Kuestor, of Charolotte;
George W. Mountcastle, of Lex
ington, and W. P. Bndd, of Dur
ham. The pamphlet also con
tains a list of resolutions which
were sent out to representative
■citizens, asking their endorsement
to the movement. More than 300
copies of the copies were slgued,
TO ere than 50 of these by news
paper editors.

A iittle change in fertilizer for
•tobacco can make a big change
in the quality of weed find some
North Carolina farmers who have
adopted suggestions from the ag-
UNEXPECTED ATTACK ON TARIFF LAW.
When Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, wrote a letter de
signed to administer the coupe da grace to the Haugen "farm relief '
bill, he did not foresee that his argudment would be so effectively turned
against him. After Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas and Sena
tor Thomas J. Walsh of Montana had exposed his inconsistencies, Sena
tor William E. Borah of Idah, a Republican who bucks and gags some-,
times when G. O. P. specialists prooeed to dose the body politic, took
Mr. Mellon's arguement, inserted "tariff bill" in lien of Hangen bill,
made a few related changes, and lo and behold a smashing argument
against the position of the,dominant group of the party Mr. Mellon repre
sents. While Senator Borah, who later voted against the Haugen bill,
said he hod.had "serious doubt from the beginning as to the economic
soundness of the pending bill," and had no doubt as to its uncdnstitu
tionality, he remarked that Mr. Mellon had "made the strongest argument
for its economic soundness that has been made; that iB to say, if the pro
tective tariff theory is correct."
Then the Idaho Senator read from the Mellon letter, substituting a few
words. In the first colum is what Mellon wrote; in the second, what It
bocaine, with Borah's slight amendments:
Mellon Argument
"It is, of course, apparent at once
that the effect of the BILL will be to
increase the cost of living to every
consumer of the KIVE BASIC AG
RICULTURAL COMMODITIES
in this country. The EQUALIZA
TION FEE, while it pnrports to be
paid by the FARMER, will be in
cluded in the increased price of the
commodity and will, in the end, be
borne not by the FARMER but by
the consumer. The net result will
be that the American consumer will
pay the increased domestic price
which of necessity must include the
EQUALIZATION FEE, or the loss
incurred in selling the surplus
abroad. We shall have the unusual
spectacle of the American consuming
public paying a bonus to the PRO
DUCERS OF FIVE MAJOR AG
RICULTURAL COMMODITIES
with a resulting decrease in the pur-i
chasing power of wages, and at the'
same time contributing a subsidy to
the foreign consumers, who under
the proposed plan will secure Amer
ican commodities at prices below the
American level."
"Apparently Mr. Mellon was not so much concerned in the year 1922
about legislation to increase prices as be is now," observed Senator
Walsh, after referring to a report of the Federal Trade Commission say
ing that "in a little more than a month after the tariff (law of 1922) went
into effect, the entire increase in duties on ingot aluminum was reflected* 1
in the price to the consumer."
"The Haugen bill," said Senator Robinson, "contains provisions that
are obnoxious to many democrats by reason of the fact that it is based,in
some of its aspects, upon the perpetuation of a system admittedly unjust,
a system associated with an unduly high protective tariff law.***Buc it i».
proposed, because there is in force as to others a system of rapacity and
plunder, to lead the farmer of this Nation into the camp of the plunder
ers and leave them there. *** So I say t> you that the time has come when
you ought to repudiate the Secretary of the Treasury and all that he
stands for in political and economic life. The time has come when you
ought to resort to those principles written more than a century ago by
the immortal Jefferson." (After quoting Jefferson on "equal and exact
justice to all men," Senator Robinson resumed) "There is no necessity to
violate either economic or moral law. The necessity is that we conform
to economic laws and keep faith with tha moral principles which underlie
this government. If we do that we can give permanent relief to the
American fanner insofar as hiß problems can be solved by law."* •-
Room For Expansion
In Swine Industry.
During the spring just past,
198 farmers in North Carolina
sold 2,793 head of hogs for $05,-
412.39. These hogs were fed ac
cording to demonstration methods
and came from 15 counties of the
State.
' "The men who grew these hogs,
will doubtless sell another S6S,(XX)
worth this fall," says W W. Shay,
swine extension specialist at State
College. "If they do, it will
make $130,000 worth of hogs sold
this year from the fifteen Conn
ies. This is about 80 cars of 70
hogs eaoh, and there are several
other counties which should sell
just as many every year. It
seems to me that there should be
other counties whioh could mus
ter 198 farmers who could raise
euough corn to feed 14 hogs to a
weight of 200 pounds and do it
twice each year."
Mr. Shay states that the first
requisite to this end is an honest
desire for information regarding
the most profitable way of feed
ing hogs. The next requisite, he
states, is a funeral.
"There can be no hope for per
manent success in pork produc
tion on a commercial basis in
North Carolina so long as the
existing idpaa of eheap produc
tion survive," he says. "These
ideas must be buried deeply.
When 500 men under the super
visiou of county agents prove
•rith records kept on 5,000 hogs
that a certain system of feeding
hogs is sound, the man who refers
to that system as a theory and
states that he believes there is
more profit from doing it in a
cheaper way, js well within his
rights—let him sleep."
Mr. Shay states that if tye good
farmers in a few more conn tie#
would take the trouble to inves
tigate the returns from feeding
corn to hogs, they too cjo Id share
in the profits now being made by
ft* group from 15 counties.
THE ALAMANCE GLEANER, GRAHAM, N. 0.
Becomes Boomerang.
"It is, of course, apparent at once
that the effect of the TARIFF BILL
will increase the cost of living to
every consumer of MANUFACTUR
ED ARTICLES in this country.'
The DUTY while it pnrports to be
paid by the FOREIGNER, will be
included in the increased price of
tbe'commodity and will, in the end,
be borne not* by the FOREIGNER
but by the consumer. The net re
sult will be that the American con
sumer will pay the increased domes
tic price, which of necessity must
include the DUTY, or the loss in
curred in selling the surplus abroad.
We shall have the unusual spectach
of the American consuming public
paying a bonus to the MANUFAC
TURERS OF MANUFACTURED
ARTICLES, with a resulting de
crease in the purchasing power of
wages, and at the same time contrib
uting a subsidy to the foreign'con
sumers, who under the proposed
plan will secure American commod
ities at prices below the American
level."
Pays to Irrigate Says This Farmer.
A gross income of nearly nine
haudred dollars from a plot of
ground less than an asre in ex
tent convinced D. G. Wilson of
the Tyro community in Davidson
Couhty that it would pay him to
irrigate when the seasons are dry.
"Mr. Wilson is one. of the suc
cessful truck growers of Davidson
County," says County Agent C.
A. Sheffield. - "This spring while
most of our truck crops such as
tomatoes and early Irish potatoes
were a complete failure, Mr. Wil»
son irrigated his land and grew on
about 6-10 of an acre 210 bushels
of Irish Cobbler potatoes. He
sold these on the Salisbury, Lex
ington and Spencer markets for
an average of $2.05 per- bushel
netting him $430.60 on his ven
ture."
To produce this yield of pota
toes, Mr. Wilson used at the rate
of 1,500 pounds of a 7-5-5 fertili
zer per acre and manured the land
heavily before plantiug.
Not all the plant food was used
by the potatoes, reports County
Agent Sheffield, and enough was
left to produce a good general
crop. The cost of seed, manure
and fertilizer was SBO, which left
a profit on the potato venture of
$350.50.
On another third of an acre in
the same field, Mr. Wilson plant
ed out 900 Chalk's Jewel and
Bonaio Best tomato plants which
yielded fc return of 50 cents per
plant. The tomatoes were sold
on the same market as the pota
toes and brought in $450. This
makes a total of $880.50 worth
of tomatoes and potatoes from less
than one acre of land, states Mr.
Sheffield, and shows what any
farmer near a good market can
do if he takes advantage of all
opportunities offered him. The
good yields produced on this land
were made possibly by the heavy
fertilization and the nse of irriga
tion.
The average farui family earned
$648 for labor and management
on the farm.during tho past year.
This is an increase of $24 over
the previous yesr..
