An Up-to-Date and Successful
Robeson County Farmer.
While ville New. Reporter.
Last Thursday we had a call
from Mr. N. T. McLean, who is
an up-to-date and successful far
mer near Rowland, in Robeson
county. Mr. McLean has pur
chased the Spivey farm, near
Whiteville, which he gave to one
of his sons. He says that lands
around him sell for $100 or more
per acre, but our Columbus land
is just as good if opened up and
improved. He thinks there is a
fine future for our county and is
particularly impressed with the
educational advantages of White
ville. It was because of our
school th8t he located his son and
grand children here.
Mr. MjrLean has 500 acres of
fine land and says the crop out
look is promising. He is also a
raiser of fine stock, and has a
cross between a Poland China
and Berkshire, having imported
his brood hogs.
In speaking of the truck busi
ness, Mr. McLean says he does
not grow any crop that must be
sold right away, at any price of
fered. He grows corn and cot
ton and crops that will keep.
He says any farmer who depends
on truck corps to the neglect of
staples, will sooner or later find
himself broke. He says that this
year some of his neighbors went
into the canteloupe business and
about 50 acres were planted.
But it took all they received for
their melons to pay for crates
and freight bills, and they came
out behind. He , says that the
canteloupe business has been
overdone in Robeson, just as was
the strawberry business in Co
lumbus. He says he has never
bought corn or meat since he be
gan farming, but always tries and
have some to sell, that no farmer
can succeed who raises cotton to
buy supplies. y
