Edwards, of Wilkes county, discussed The Advantages of Livestock Farming in North Carolina. Poultry and Ekrs. 1. Speaking of poultry, he said that in 1910 we had 5,000,000 fowls, Wisconsin, 9,000,000, and Iowa 23,- 000,0000; but our hens showed an egg nroducing power equal to that of of these western fowls, while in poultry production we ran far ahead. Wis consin, for instance, produced during the year 10,000,000 fowls, while North Carolina produced 15,000,000. A little more attention to the breed and care of fowls would make North Carolina the greatest poultry state in the Union. As it is, we produce neither poultry nor eggs equal to the demands of home consumption in North Caro lina. Pork Production. In pork production we again have everything in our favor short, mild winters, abundant water everywhere, winter pastures, peanuts, potatoes and I . 1 1 XT-J-V corn. 1'orK can ne proauceu in nim Carolina at any time at a third less per pound than in the Middle West. Our brood sows have more littenr in a year, larger litters as a rule, and a smaller per cent, of pigs lost. Nev ertheless in 1910 we had only 39 pigs per 1,000 acres; while Iowa had 212. We had barely mere than half a swine !?r person; and Iowa more than three porkers per person. We had 70,000,- 000 pounds of pork to buy abroad; they had nearly a billion pounds to In 1910 only 26 counties were! sell, raising enough pork for home con sumption. Cattle Possibilities. Beef production under frontier con ditions on free ranges is ended, and the nation's meat s'upply must now bo produced on.the farms of the country. North Carolina with her twenty-two million wilderness acres is ready for the new era; and the South with two hundred million acres of uncultivated land ought now to take the lead in beef, milk and butter production. Our soils and seasons offer mild win ters, well watered grazing areas, per manent pastures, winter cover crops silage crops, feed and forage crops in abundance all these actually, or pos sibly with proper skill and attention. We need big beef sires, more and better breeds of dairy cows, and rid dance of cattle tick. We need cash livestock markets within possible reach of our farmers; and railroad arrangements, conveniences, facilities andrates that will tempt our farmers into livestock farming and reward them for the venture. Local butcher ing, packing and refrigerating plants, and well managed city markets arc tdso indispensible. Our beef supply will be locally raised when the farmers have an assured profit in the business; and not before. At present we have only 81 catt'e of all sorts per 1,000 acres. Forty five counties have only 20 or fewer; and six counties have fewer than 10 each. We could easily have 61 per 1.C00 acres -the average for tl.s coan- try-at-large. But the change will come slowly! Successful livestock farming is bred into a people only by generations of education and experi ence. Colt Raising. As for colts, said he, we raise few er and fewer of them year by year in North Carolina only 13,778 in the census year. Our aanual need for new work airfmals is around 45,000 due ti All One Year REAL BARGAIN QUICiaY! ease. At the lowest estimate we must import around 30,0000 horses and mules per year, and send out of the State some six million dollars of cash for work animals. Colts can be raised at a profit. The farmers in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri do it. Our need is permanent pastures, hay and forage, interest, at tention and skill far more than we have at present. North Carolina is still on the lowest rung of the ladder as an agricultural state; that is to say, her farm income is from crop sales merely or mainly, when we rise into livestock farming and our farm income is mainly from the sale of livestock products, we will be worth from $3,000 to $3,500 apiece in the country regions, as in the wes tern states, and not $322 apiece; or even less as in Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. A DANGEROUS MISTAKE Asheboro Mothers Should Not Neglect Kidney Weakness in Childrea. Many children have weak kidneys. An early warning is bed-wettinjr. Often followed by backache, head ache, languor.
