"GREAT CORN GROWING."
Under the above caption The
Charlotte Chronicle comments as
follows on the article published
in Monday's- Kobesoman about
Mr. J. D. Johnson's 10-acre field
of corn, which The Chronicle re
prints in another column:
"The farmerfriends of The
Chronicle .will be interested in
the system pursued by aRobeson
county farmer, bv which, it is
claimed, he will make one thous
and bushels of corn from a ten
acre field. Such a production
from North Carolina soil should
not be regarded as unusual. The
proper application of intelligence
and energy will work the same
result in almost any corn field in
this section of the State. The
Robeson county -man's system
seems to be entirely different
from theWilliamson plan and can
be easily followed. It aDDears
to be based upon common sense
and should be an encouragement
to farmers all over the State to
work for better results from the
corn field. The corn-growing
agitation of the past few years
has been productive of great good,
as is apparent from " the condi
tions of the corn fields in differ
ent parts of the State. The sea
son has 'riot been an especially
good one in some localities it
has been bad yet the farmers
will this year harvest the largest
corn crop the State has known, in
the face of the fact that there has
been no appreciable increase in
acreage.
It is good news that the Raft
Swamp Co-operative Milling Co.
will locate its flour mill , here.
Lumberton gladly welcomes new
enterprises, be they large or
small. The plant this company
proposes to operate will meet a
real need and will cause many
farmers to plant wheat who
would not otherwise do so. Some
have given as their reason for
not sowing more land to wheat
the fact that there have been no
facilities for havingwheat ground
in this section. The fact that an
up-to-date mill will be located in
Lumberton will remove that rea-
son and many who have been
buying their flour and meal will
make them at home. The Robe-
sonian hopes that this plant will
meet with such encouragement
and success that it will be
essary to enlarge very soon
