A WARNING (
by your Fertilizer ft
No. 3 mm •
in a Series appearing in this newspaper
THIS is no year to take chances. If you are
tempted to use "any old" fertilizer be
cause it costs less, don't do it! Most of all,
your crops need nitrogen— natural nitrogen—
and that means Chilean Nitrate.
I've arranged for a big supply of Chilean Ni
trate in new 100 lb. bags. It's cheaper than it
has been for years. Better get your order
in now, so you won't be sorry later on.
CHILEAN NITRATE is original "Soda**
—the natural nitrogen fertilizer that has
been used for a hundred years in the South
with best results. It increases yield and qual
ity of every crop you grow. It's indispensable
as a side or top dressing to insure against loss.
And when you order your fertilizer, be sure
to say Chilean Nitrate to your dealer. Thst
one word, "Chilean," is your protection and
your dealer's too. Chilean means the real thing
—the nitrate all ,crop champions use. Remem
ber the two kinds—Original Chilean (Crystal
line) and Champion Brand (Granulated) both
natural nitrate.

State's Farm Income
Reduced Last Year
The farmers of North Carolina re
ceived $42,760,355 less money dur
ing 1930 than they did in 1922, ac -
cording to the N. C. Farm Business,
published by the State college Ex
tension Service. In 1922, the net
farm cash income was $104,470,000
and, in 1930, this income was approx
imately $62,000,000, a decrease of
41 per cent. Last year, the farm
cash receipts were $192,842,633,
farm cash expenses were $131,123,-
136, leaving only $61,719,697 for
[ farmers of the state to use in pay..
| ir.g taxes, buying clothing, paying
j bills for food, feed, fertilizer and
j other expenses.
The average net cash income for
j the year from 1922 to 1930 was
; $83,472,396. The 1930 net cash in
come was approximately $10,000,000
less than in 1929. This condition in
the state, which is very serious, is
due to the lower prices of cotton,
tobacco and peanuts in particular.
Cotton declined from 16.4 cents a
pound in 1929 to 9.5 cents; tobacco,
from 18 cents to less than 14 cents;
and peanuts also. The low price of
cotton was due to a world over-sup
ply of American cotton, which in
creased from 19,320,000 bales in
1929 to 20,543,000 bales in 1930J
with a corresponding drop in use of
cotton by mills. Tobacco stocks on
hand increased from 1,342,000,000
pounds in 1929-30 to 1,400,000,000
in 1930-31, despite a small increase
in the use of cigarettes.
Reduction of these three crops is
necessary in order to obtain a price
which will cover the cost of produc...
tion this year, the bulletin says. The
state government is urged to cooper
ate in every possibly way. The bulle
tin goes on to say:
"There is evidence that the world
situation will not improve rapidly
I during the next year or so. If the
i present production of cotton con..
| tinues with a falling off in purchas- 1
ing power of our customers, then
North Carolina farmers will find
themselves in dire circumstances in
1931 and 1932. "Referring to the
tobacco situation, the bulletin says
that, if the crop is not cut mater
ially, "indications are (that Norfch
Carolina producers will experience
during 1931 one of the most disas
trous years since the war."

by the University of North Caro

Forsyth county is the most thick

Tyrell county has the smallest num

is 65 inhabitants to the square mile.
Rutherford county has an area of
544 square miles. Robeson county is
the largest county in the state, hav
ing an area of 990 square miles,
while Chowan is the smallest with I
165 square miles.
The twenty-eight counties of the
state which lead in inhabitants per
square mile, including Rutherford,
are for the most part the manufac
turing counties of the Piedmont re
gion. Included in those are Forsyth,
Durham, Gaston, Mecklenburg, ,Guil
ford, Buncombe, Rowan, Cabarrus,
Catawba, Cleveland, Alamance, Da
vidson, Iredell, Lincoln and Ruther-1
ford counties.
The state's population at the be
ginning of 1930 was 3,170,276. Only
eleven states have more people than
North Carolina. Twenty years ago
there were fifteen states that had
more people than this state. We have
supplanted four states in two de
cades. \
The percent increase in population
during the last decade was 23.9. Only
six states grew more rapidly, on a
percent basis, than North Carolina.
They were California, Florida, Mich
igan, Arizona, New Jersey, and Tex
as.
Our numerical increase In popula
tion for the decade was 611,153.
Only seven states had larger total
gains in population, namely New
York, California, Texas, Michigan,
Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jer
sey.
The land area of North Carolina
is 48,740 square miles. Twenty-sev
en states are larger. The state aver
ages 65 inhabitants to the square
mile. There are only thirteen states
that have more people per square
mile than has North Carolina. No
southern state is more densely set
tled than North Carolina, unless
Maryland and West Virginia are class
ed as southern. In 1900 there were
twenty states that were more densely
settled.
Nature Thought of
Everything
Nature thought of everything when
the human body was made. When the
body is about to become ill, nature
planned danger signals to warn us.
Thus, if our children grind their teteh
when they sleep, or lack appetite, or
suffer from abdominal pains, or itch
about the nose and fingers, we should
know that they may have contracted
worms. Then, if we are wise, we buy
a bottle of White's Cream Vermi
fuge and safely and surely expel the
worms. Thus we avoid the danger of
very serious trouble. White's Cream
Vermifuge costs only 35c a bottle,
and can be bought from Peoples Drug
Store.

More than
73,000 miles in
a New Ford
THE substantial worth of the new Ford is reflected in
its good performance, economy and reliability. Its
stamina and endurance are particularly apparent in
sections where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy
extra burden on the automobile.
In less than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan was
driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a
difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low
and practically the only expense for repairs was for new
piston rings and a new bearing for the generator.
The car carried an average load of 1200 pounds of
mail and was driven 250 miles daily. "The Ford Has
never failed to go when I was ready," writes one of the
three mail carriers operating the car. "The starter did
the trick last winter even at 34 degrees below zero. The
gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull a
trailer whenever I have a bulky load."
Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory
performance. Every part has been made to endure —-1®
serve you faithfully and well for many thousands of
miles.
