J R. Sams Writes to County Agent Scott About Alamance In a letter to W. Kerr Scott, county agent, J, R. Sams, county agent at large, says: "Your county Is full of agricul tural possibilities. Your forests are of fine scaly bark hickory, oak, and other valuable hard woods that do not grow except on land that will produce the finest pasture grasses to be found In all the world; such as orchard grass, tall oat grass, Kentucky blue grass, tim othy, herds grass and many other valuable pasture and hog grasses and a host of clover, alfalfa, etc., by simply complying with the laws of nature; which Is necessary to success along all lines of human endeavor In this world of ours. You are on the right track with soil building, sod crops or built up rich land, and other suitable crops for feeding dairy cattle In winter, such as soy beans and silage for larger herds, pigs within reasonable num bers, and poultry. With cotton and tobacco for side lines Instead of main crops, your farmers would be come rich and your banks would bulge with surplus cash; your farmers would pay cash as they go; pay the high tax and not com plain. You are on the right road. Keep up the fight you have begun. Don't let up. It will be a long time before our soli, pastures, dairy cows, pigs and poultry will be up to the standard we are working so hard to reach. So, I say again, you are everlastingly right, and your people will ere long rise up and call you blessed. If I can ever serve you to a good purpose, com mand me." J. R. SAMS, County Agt. at Large." Lespedeza makes a first class hay, high In feed value, easily cured and with little waste. It Is also excellent for grazing. ? Poultry shipments have begun throughout North Carolina and growers are swapping cull hens for ready cash at the car doors. Tom Tarheel says this Is the time he plans his farming operations for the year and he needs all the sound Information he can get. Miss Lucy Fay Cooke of Duke Durham for the week under treat Point spent 8unday here with Mr. . a 24,000 FARMERS IN SURVEY DECLARE FERTILIZER PRICES ONLY "AVERAGE" JI Their Answer* to Queeboos Show That Most Farmers Think Price Not High. "As compared to other things, do you consider fertiliser low, average or high In price?" This question was answered last summer by over 48,000 fanners la M states. It was one of SO asked by re presen ts tires of the National Fertiliser as sociation In an attempt to find out lost what the farmer himself thinks about fertiliser, how be uses it to make money, and how the fertiliser companies may further Improve their chemical plant food and their service so the farmer may make more money. [ While It Is only human nature for farmers or buyers of aay product to feel that prices are high, nevertheless over half of the 48,004 farmers who answered this qustlon said they think j the price of fertiliser is only "aver age." i Seven per cent, or an average of T out of each 100 farmers who were In terviewed, said the price Is "low." Nearly 38 per cent, or 38 out of 100, ' said It Is "high." The remaining 7 out of 100 did not express an opinion on this question. Fertilizer Prices Low. * The Association points out that fer tiliser actually Is the cheapest lmpor ' tant supply the fanner buys, and cites figures published by the U. 8. De partment of Agriculture as proof. , Prices of complete fertiliser art gathered from all over the country b] . I the Association. An average of thesi I shows that fertiliser Is only slight!] . higher now than before the war. Thi Association finds that the price hai been kept reasonable despite the phe nomenal lump In wages of factory em f ployees, which have doubled slno pre-war, and an Increase of 80 pe cent In Incoming end outgoing freight which wiV? up about one-fourth o the price of fertilizer. Nothwithstand | Ing these Important Increases In th manufacturer's cost, fertiliser price j average only I per cent above the! , pre-war leveL Though the prices of farm product ' have been low, the price of festlHse *j Is relatively sUIl lower. f For In | stance, according to the latest avail | able figures of the O. A Departsnea The names of 40,094 farmers and their answers to 2^00,000 questions are contained In this pile ef question naire books, each of which eontabw replies of SO farmers. of Agriculture, cotton and eottoneeed are 48 per cent abora pre-war; maat animal* are 43 per cent nbore; grain*.
