FIGURES THAT ARE STARTLING
THE SKN'TlNEL referred, a few days ago, to the fact that this state
itood among the leaders In the entlra United States I ant year In the value
of farm products."
In an ud.Irewi this week before the annual meeting of the Bouthcrn
Newspaper Publishers' Association, Mr. 1 A. Niven, of Birmingham, Ala.,
president of the Southern Farm 1'apere' Association, gave aome further fig
ures on thla subject.
' He showed that North Carolina va fourth of ttll the states In point of
crop values lust year, being surpnssed only by Texas, Iowa and Illinois. The
great Tar Heel Htate led Kansas by 52, 000,000 and Missouri by $1S4,000,
000 and actually led by 1323.000,000 ths entire New England States.
The small stuts of South Carolina lead Indiana by $17,000,000 and waa
ulso ahead of Pennsylvania and New York by a goodly amount. Wisconsin
which la looked upon ai ono of the great agricultural states, waa led by
Mississippi. Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota, Nobrsska and Michigan were led
by Georgia,
The corn crop of the United States last year waa valued at a little less
than $4,000,000,000 and the fifteen Southern fitatea produced approximate
ly 81 per cent of the total valuo'of thla crop. And yet thla la a section which
norne folk think of us being nothing but an all-cotton country where little
If any, Corn la produced. Tet these figures show that more than one-third
of ihe totul value of the 11119 corn crop waa produced In the South.
The crop values of the thirteen Southern States In 1919 were greater
than they were in the whola t'nlted States in 1900. In the ten year period
from 1909 to 1919 the crop values of the thirteen Southern States jumped
from $1,17,785,000 to $,H,O9l,000.
Many of our own people, right hern at horns do not seem to realize that
the average crop values per acre In the South arc much greater than they
aro In the North and Kant. The average per acre crop value for farm crops
in tho United States last year was $54.68 and the average for the thirteen
Southern Statu was $67.1$.
NorthCarollna's pur ai re crop value last year was $11.(0 and Iowa's
$39.63.
Taking- the South as a whole tha value of production per acre Is far
ahead of the grain-producing states of the North and West.
The average per acre value of tobacco in North Carolina In 1319 waa
$286.37; cane syrup, $203.00; sweet potatoes, $134.00; peanuts, $91.00, and
cotton $70.7.
Winner or loser, Sir Thomas has
Ihe admiration of American sportsmen.
Along with his other accomplish
ments Governor Itlckett is an udept
In ths art of expressing a great deal
of meaning in a few words.
t They are already talking about
gubernatorial candidates for 1924.
Would it not be well to wait Juat a
llttls while?
Krult displayed at some places In
ths city Is properly screened. It
should be at every place where fruit
Is kept for sal. (
Another municipality has just
adopted a city plan. How much
longer will Winston-Salem go with
out one?
Sanitary precautions are always
right and proper, but they are never
quite so Important ss during the hot
season. Just a hint along thla line
should, be sufficient.
Colonel House has actually given
out a statement on the situation In
Europe. We did not suspect It was
as bad as that.
Turkey would do well to'do what
she la going to do In a hurry. The
patience of the allies can hardly be
expected to continue Indefinitely.
With Billy Sunday heading a fro-
hlbltlon party ticket, the campaign
would at least be guaranteed some
spectacular features.-
Candidate Harding seems to be
trying mighty hard to leave the Im
pression that he Is not going to con
duct a "pussyfooting" campaign
But how can he nave any other kind
It he Stays on the platform.
The above figures aro more than significant; they are really startling.
They should be given all possible publicity by the various states In this
auction.
North Carolina, thru Its proposed new state-wide Chamber of Com
merce or some other agency, should use these figures for all they are worth,
particularly those relating to this stale's showing.
The opportunity along that line Is too great to be neglected.
What are we going to do about it?

IXTFREKTIXO CAMP.
A Winston-Salem man waa at the
women's training camp, near Ashe
ville, this week and found the visit
a thoroly interesting one,
A total of 165 women are In this
camp, living under military regtila
Hons, and the daily routine is
dilated to add very decidedly to t
physical fitness of the women wj
participate In the camp tralnin
The camp at Asheville is or
inree in tne rmumeastern section
the country. They are design not
to teach military routine, opt to
give those entering the faip a
chance to better themselw-HViiliv
slcally. It has been found
lary regulations are most ojpivl
to this end. I
The camps that have itfy estah
limed tins year are not prov
with government equipment, but
those conducted next year lll be
so equipped, It Is hoped, pr
a bill to be Introduced In Co

Corps. It is located on the Urove

mile front the famous Drove Park
Inn. Women from various states
are there and the experiment Is
proving a most decided success In
every way.
A six weeks' course la given.
Professional women who only have
a two weeks' vacation have Ihe
option of attending for lhal length
of time.

western states have been doing w
would get enough desirable new
residents within a few years to oc
cupy much of that uncultivated land
' of which The Sentinel was talking a
few days ago.
Tha Richmond Times-Dispatch
rises to remark that Virginia, "the
mother of presidents," has had
eight of her sons as chief executives
of tha United States. Ohio's score,
after the November election, will be
only seven. Rut these two states
are far In the lead of any 'others.
Telegraph hours In Winston
Salem, it has been snnounced by the
Western Union, are going to be
mar in keeping In the future with
thla city's position aa tho largest
community In North Carolina." That
'Is well.-" But there are some other
lines, besides that of telegraph serv
ice, la which more cjty-llke facili
ties are needed.
The Instructions given by Gov
ernor Blckett to the military author
ities the other 'day evidently ha 4 a
sobering effect opon those who
seemed bent upon a lynching tn Al

tion and straight talk at auch a, time
often has Quilts, a salutary Influence.
And that la tha only way to handle i
such a situation.
The movement has Ihe sanction
of the National Bureau of Educa
tion, Which furnishes instructors; at
the National Bureau of Health, and
other departments of the govern
ment. The National federation of Wom
en's Clubs is behind this Training

men and women of nation and state
have given It their hearty aanctlon.

"I don't believe I had ever heard
of Winston-Salem ten years ago,"
said Mr. W. J. Pape, of Waterbury,
