A BIG FARMER
j Very Little Wheat Being Sown
—Good Attendance in
Schools.
Oak Grove, Oct- 13.—The
: public schools of Yadkin town
| ship opened Monday, 13th, and
the compulsory school law
brought out many children that
ought to have been out years
'ago. A lot of the people are
j growling at the teachers and
say they arc not competent. You
, cannot expect first class teachers
j with out a first class price. I'
the county commissioners would
I put out assessors who would
j value the property higher we
l would have more money, better
schools and goad roads. When
' a man prices his mule to you at
he gives it in at from SSO
to !?75, his land from §25 to
S2OO per acre and is mad
| because it i 3 valued at $7 an
acre. Let,s get out of this
; old rut and make t*m the garden
■ spot of the world.
The farmers of this section
:are about through cutting and
| curing tobacco with the excep-
J tion of Mr. C. H. Lunsford. Mr.
Lunsford has taken cafe of
I seventy-two barns and has
several more in the field. The
high priced tobacco is causing
the farmers to neglect their
wheat crops. They are strip
ping and hauling day and night.
We know of some farmers that
are not going to sow any wheat.
They v say that they can make
more stripping and selling their
tobacco and buy flour, which
we think is a great mistake. Try
jto make an all around crop from
the garden up.
The farmers are beginning to
gather their corn and they find
i a lot of it damaged. We think
lit was caused by the wet
weather.
