THE BEST IMMIGRANT AGENT
Down in the sandhills section one
of the finest highways in the Sate
runs from Biscoe in the direction of
Carthage through .an undeveloped
country. One may traVel miles with
out seeing house of any kind. But
it is a direct route and besides open
ing jome of the finest farming lands
in the State, shortens distance for
through travel. In Moot\> County
rwe see in the The Vass Pilot, new
opportunities are being opened fot
cotton and tobacco farmers as wel
a ior orchardists. Two highways
;tinning out of Vass and Lakewooo
per.: tiate the finest cotton and to
bacco belt and the finest orchaiv
lands in that part of the state. Tin
possibilities are forecast by Th'
Fdot when it says that “we oUgV
to have a hundred families dovvi
in that suction where the McNeil’
lands are” and “all around the tract'
i.i question is other land that w:i’
be available when the good read
are opened.” It is a truth that Moor
County “has proved to be one
the best tobacco belts in the United
States, that tobacco lands are ehea;
and that marketing vaeilitie* are
good."
There is a great wilderness o'
idle land in that part of the state
of tiie very sort which developed
is not to be had for less than $200
end $.100 an acre. The Giles bill for
assisting in bringing in new popu
lation and in providing homes for
farmers, goes over to the next ses
ion of ’the Legislature, but mean
timj the good roads that are beir.p
opened will “be on the job”. Tht
good road is the most potent ini
migration agent the States will eve
know. —Charlotte Observer.
DR. ALEXANDER BOWING OUT
Dr.H .Q. Alexander’s six years, i
It rm as member of the State Board i
■ f Agriculture went out with the i
passing of the Legislature. He was i
not re-appointed by the Governor i
It was O. Max Gardner who was i
selected to succeed him, and the
Doctor contributes a few remarks
on his Farmer’s Union page in The
Charlotte Herald, this week, one the
incident. The Herald submits his ar
ticle as one coming from “a good
sport,”' but the retiring Commiss
ioner makes modification to a cer
tain extent. He reviews the circum
stances of his previous appointment
and the pressure brought t0 bear to
induce him to offer again, and he
thinks the apipointment of Mr. Gard
ner “may be a disappointment, as
well as a surprise to many farmers.”
He has already heard expressions
from union men indicating beliel
that it “was a slap at the organiza
tion” but admission is made that
while Gardner is “a city man, a
lawyer And a.leadng politician in the
State,” he is «1ao ”a Jargafanner”,
and one *ho hag "the education and
the intellect to MAdey graft, ierVice
to the farmers of the State.” White
Doctor Alexander1 does not bring
hiijjself to an admitted hope or be
lief that Gardner will, in fact, ren
der this service, he is generous en
ough to bespeak for him “all duo
consideration and support from the
farmers, and thfe withholding of ai’
criticism except that which is re
constructive and in promotion
the common good,” On the whole,
Doctor Alexander bows htoMtt out1
with a minimum of gruntage and in
manner that we could call benefit
ting.—-Charlotte Observer.

ers, mills, elevators, banks, tele
phone companies, cooperative or
ganizations, farm bureaus, and othe
er, agencies which disseminate the
reports among large groups of farm
ers.
Greatest interest was shown in
