The Chatham Record. II. A, LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 11. 1915. VOLUME XXXVIII. With thin issue The Record begins its thirty-eighth volume and enters on the thirty-eighth j year of its existence, It was es tablished thirty-seven years ago by its present editor and proprie tor, and during all that time he has been its sole editor and pro prietor. This is probably the longest time that any one man now living has been the sole ed itor and proprietor of any news paper published in this state. There are several men now living in this state who have been in the newspaper business as long a time, but not with the same pa per nor its sole editor and pro prietor. Even among the dead there is no one who was the sole editor and owner of a newspaper in this state so long a time, un less probably with the exception of Mr. Dennis Heartt, who edited the Hillsboro Recorder a very longtime. Mr. E. J. Hale, Sr., was connected with the Fayette ville Observer a longer time, but was not its sole editor and pro prietor all that time, as his son, Mr. Peter M. Hale, became asso ciated with him several years be fore his office and outfit were burned by Sherman's army. Messrs. C. N. B. Evans, of the Milton Chronicle, and W. W. Hol den. of the Raleigh Standard, edited and published their papers a long time, and Major Bernard, of the Wilmington Star (who still anmn'vao nra ora nlaaanrl tn ofota edited and published his paper a In 1910f more tnan a fourth of remarkably long time. ine farmers bought feed for their We mention this not in any j farm animals. All told, 993 farm spirit of boastfulness. but only to ers spent an average of $3170 emphasize the short life of the"? S!TSv lT average North Carolina newspa- per and its precarious existence. Many men have practised their profession as lawyers, doctors, dentists, etc., for a much longer time, and many merchants and other business men have for a much longer time been in active management of their same busi ness without any change. The life of the average newspaper in this state has been rather short and very few have provided a comfortable support for their ed itors and publishers, and yet so frequently do ambitious men start a newspaper with bright hopes of great success but soon realize their sad mistake and retire in disgust from so unprofitable a business. It is strange that so many men, who fail at every kind of business, think that they can successfully and profitably pub lish a newspaper. One great cause of so many newspapers suspending is the fact that their subscribers do not pay what they owe.; Many men who promptly pay their other debts do not promptly pay their newspa per subscriptions. They seem to think that a newspaper can be published without money. While the amount due from each sub scriber may be small,' yet in the aggregate the arrears from sev eral hundred subscribers amount to a large sum, the payment of which would-keep the paper go ing and its editor happy. In this connection we would here remind some of our delinquent subscrib ers that thy can best show their appreciation of The Record by promptly paying what they owe. Kind reader, are you one of them? If so, please take this gentle hint and pay up without further delay. The Record has no new prom ises to make for the future, but will continue to do all within its power for the advancement of the best interests of our county, our state and our country, and all the inhabitants thereof without re gard to color, sex or condition in life, With a grateful apprecia tion of its past success we will strive to deserve a continuance thereof. The greatest wheat crop ever grown in any one country is now being harvested by American farmers. It may reach a billion bushels. J The latest estimate of the crop by experts of the De partment of Agriculture is 966, 000,000 bushels. Bumper har vests of other, food crops are in dicated. In another column we publish in detail the estimated size of the various crops. Chatham County Statistics. The last issue of the Univer sity News-Letter contains some : interesting statistics on Chatham 'county, as compiled from the ' census reports. The practical ' suggestion is advanced that each ' county in North Carolina should have a Home County Study-club with a membership of thought ful people interested in the pro gress and development of their county. These, it says, could be related with mutual helpfulness to county clubs at the Univer sity. We regret that lack of space prevents the publication in detail of the facts set forth in the News Letter touching Chat ham counts. However, we copy below the conclusions deduced from the statistics given, as fol lows: 1. Chatham is a county of small farm owners. More than seven-tenths of the white farm-; ers are landlords, not tenants, During the last census period, the neero farm owners in Chatham, Moore, and Lee increased 33 per cent in number, while the white farm owners increased only 3 per cent in number. 2. Tne cropping system is sen sible; that is to say, it is the half-and-half system that the federal department of agriculture is now ! campaigning in the south; halt money crops and half food and feed crops. In Chatham 54 per cent of the crop wealth in 1910 was produced by food and feed cro s, and 46 per cent by cotton and tobacco. This fact explains the sma'l per acre crop yield. Tne soils are ' good, but the farmers are not de pending mainly on cotton and cotton and tobacco which vipld ' large average crop values per acre. 3. But evidently in the census year the farmers were not raid- ing a suiuciency uj. coiu, uata, uxy r 4-., u, npnriv .qn ooo bushels, and doubt- less potatoes vegetables and fruits were raised in sufficient quanti ties. 4. But in 1910 the bill for im- ported food and feed stuffs was beyond all reason $1,013, uoui Here is a King's ransom and it went out of the county to pay for supplies that might have been raised at home. If this vast sum, or even a reasonable portion of it, could be held down in the county by a system of live-at-home farm ing, the farm wealth of the coun ry would be doubled in the next five years. The per capita country wealth of the county is too small. It was only $248 in the census year, against $322 for the state-at-large; $560 for Alleghany county; $994 for the United States; and $3386 for Iowa. 5. The larger per capita coun try wealth elsewhere lies mainly in the greater attention to live stock and in the better develop ment of livestock industries; to highbred beef and dairy cattle; to pure bred swine; to the pro duction of hams, bacon, and shoulders; to dairy farming; to creameries, condenseries, cheese factories and such like agricultu ral industries. There is minimum chance to pile up wealth in farm communi ties from the sale of crops alone, no matter how large the yield or how high the market prices. Around two-thirds of the yearly income of the western farmer is produced by the sale of animal products; in Chatham, nearly seven-ninths ox it is produced by crops alone. b. in iyiu, unatham made a good showing in the production of beef, pork, poultry and eggs. Undoubtedly the county produced enough meat for home consump tion, and nearly enough poultry and eggs. The county fell behind in dairy farming and in the production of milk, butter and cream. The milk produced was 60 gallons less and the butter 26 pounds less per person than the average amounts required for consumption in the run of a year. There is no hope for the development of beef cat tle and dairy farming in any county without stock-laws and tick-eradication. 7. In 1910, Chatham fell below the state average in the number of pigs per 1000 acres. But what is worse, Chatham, Moore, and Lee suffered heavy losses in cat tie, swine and sheep during the last census period. The loss in sheep alone in this group of coun ties amounted to lAdyo in num ber and $48,000 in value. It is critically important for this group of counties, the future con sidered, to move ahead instead of falling behind in livestock, dairy farming, and animal products of all sorts. 8. Chatham makes a better showing than the average county in North Carolina in church mem bership, school attendance and literacy: but falls far below the average for the state in expendi- tures for school purposes and in salaries paid to white country teachers. The combined state and county tax rate was higher in 1913 in 74 other counties: and there is room here for Isffger 'revenues for better schools, better roads, and other similar agencies of community progress. 9. Chatham county, like all the rest in North Carolina, needs more tojks; not more tenants, but more home-owning, small farmers. Allowing 75, acres to each familv there is room in Chatham for 3.550 new farm fam ilies, with 50,000 acres still left ovpr for wood-lot purposes. This number would almost ex actly double the present number of farmers. But what a differ ence they would create! There would be more business for the trading centres, greater taxable wealth, larger revenues for school and church support, more social life and liveliness, and larger stores of hope and high courage. At present the uncultivated wilderness area in Chatham amounts to nearly 324,000 acres. Three-fourths of the county is now abandoned to calmness and solitude. , And a everyone knows, said Colonel Mulberry Sellers, there ain't no money in calmness and solitude." The County Fair. The farmer gets more out of tne fair than anyone else. The fair to a city man is an entertainment; to a farmer it is education. Let us take a stroll through the fair grounds and linger a moment at a few of the points of greatest interest. We will first visit the mechanical department and hold communion with the world's greatest thinkers. You are now attending a congress of the mental giants in mechanical sci ence ol all ages. They are addressing- you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an eloquent story of the world's progress. The inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an enduring service to w mankind. We can all help others for a brief period while we live, but it takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light a torch of progress that will illuminate the path way of civilization for future genera tions. The men who gave us the sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions work in every field on earth and will continue their labors as long as time. Their bright intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve mankind on and on forever, without money and without price. They have shown us how grand and noble it is to work for others; they have also taught us lessons in economy and effi ciency, how to make one hour do the work of two or more; have length ened our lives, multiplied our opportunities and taken toil off the back of humanity. They are the most practical men the world ever produced. Their in ventions have stood the acid test of utility and efficiency. Like all useful men, they do not seek publicity, yet millions of machines sing their praises from every harvest field on earth and as many plows turn the soil in mute applause of thalr -narvaio Meve ments. Mammoth Crops in Sight. Washington, Aug. 9. Three billion bushels of corn, one and one-half billion bushels of oats and a billion bushels of wheat are in prospect for this year's American harvest. Record crops of rye, white and sweet pota toes, tobacco, rice and hay also are predicted. Farmers planted 310.546.000 acres, or 10,000,000 acres more than last year, of their principal products. The wheat crops, the greatest ever grown in any country, will be worth more than $1,000 000, while the corn crop's value may reach $2,500,000. Estimates of the principal crops based on August 1, show that all crops will be greater than last year. Corn prospects increased almost 100,000,000 bushels. White potatoes promise to ex ceed their former record produc tion by 103.000,000 bushels and sweet potatoes by 4,000,000. Other increases over record crops indicated include tobacco 28,000, 000 pounds; flax 4,200,000 bush els; hay 2,400,000 tons, and rye 1,300,000 bushels. Corn pros pects fall 206,000,000 bushels and oats 16,000,000 bushels below the records. Will Test New Gun. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 9. Anchor ed in shallow water near the mouth of the Potomac River, the monitor Puritan will tomorrow morning be fired on by the moni tor Tallahassee, with one or more 12-inch shells. The range will be 500 yards. The firing is to prove the value of a newly invented 12 inch shell, which, it is claimed, has more destructive value than the shells of similar caliber now in use in the American navy. The Tallahassee is commanded by Lieut. V. V. Woodward and the firing will be witnessed by a num ber of naval officers and ordnance experts. Mrs. Ida B. Warren and S. F.
