TAR HEEL EDITOR
WINS NATIONAL PRIZE.
Extract From Prixe-Winuiog Letter
Given
Of all the editors of weekly pa
pers io the United States who
oompeted for the prizes offered
by the National Farm News for
the best letter giving a solution
of the present farm depression, it
remained for a Tarheel from Fay
etteville to win first place.
Fred W. Vaughu is hi* name
and he publishes the Peoples' Ad
vocate.
Hundreds of suggestions were
offered iu the contest. Letters
from all over the United States
were received )<y the Natioual
Farm News and considered by the
judges but the short pilby let er
from Mr. Vaughn was adjudged
the best and he was given first
prize of 1100.
The extension, workers of State
College feel flattered that thruout
his letter, Mr. Vaughu followed
the satne lines of thought upon
which the agricultural program
for this state is being builde '.
His letter aud the activities at tAHmm
extensioa forces are in perfs^wjj
harmony. f "a
In part, Mr. Vaughn says, < '1
"Farming, like every other pro- | .<|
ductive enterprise, cannot be sne-' ?" ?
cessful without sonnd bosineas
management. The lack of thia
is the chief handicap of the great
majority of farmers.
"Inasmuch as the farmer has
to sell his products on an unpro
tected market, he must overcome
this difficulty as far as pojmible
by living at home. That is, he
must produce on his farm to the'
extent of his ability what he cou-(.
sumes. Ho will thug have lees to
buy.
"The farmer must learn that
the price for which a product is
sold does not determine profit or
loss except when considered in'
connection with the cost of pro-'
dnction. Intelligent diversifiea-,'
tion has saved many farmers from.'
bankruptcy. Crop surpluses may?
be converted into meat and milk*
products through his livestock." ? v

ers visited a tobacco demonstra
tion field near Ayden recently.
