1 STORIES OF THE PIONEERS
Fact Concerning" fjoinm unity
Which Jlnehurt U h Outer
YES indeed, this section
of the old State is wak
ing from its century
sleep, and refreshed, has
taken a new lease on life
doing things moving
round over its good
roads and observing!
In previous issues
we 've told what Gates, ' ' the millionaire ; ' '
Pumpelly, ' 1 the gentleman farmer ; ' '
Derby, "Harvard half-back; " and Tufts,
of Pinehurst, were doing; but the future
of this, a coming section, is not in the
hands of the "hopelessly rich," but the
pioneers, who, attracted by its possibili-
pounds an acre, one hundred pounds more
then the cotton farmers of the country
average. Three hundred pounds is not
as big as it should be in North Carolina,
but it pays; that is, it did pay before
Europe got into its mixup. Three hun
dred pounds of ten-cent cotton means
(average) thirty dollars and in addition,
the seed is worth six dollars; thirty-six
dollars in all. Deducting half for work
ing shares, leaves eighteen dollars; ten
dollars buys the fertilizer, or eight dollars
net profit. On land that cost ten dollars
an acre, seven dollars to clear and ten
dollars for buildings, nine dollars is a
reasonable return, and it mounts up rap
idly when the operation is a big one; say
a thousand acres, or even less.

PINEHURST THE COMMUNITY
ties, are developing the agricultural Com
munity of which Pinehurst is the center.
Take W. H. Carpenter, for instance, a
carpenter by trade, who with small capi
tal and many difficulties to contend with
has developed one of the best farms in
his section. In 1906 he bought one hun
dred and eight acres of typical Sand Hill
uplands for $275.00 adding twenty acres
the year following at a cost of $56.00.
Ate quite a hole in $600.00 capital; mar
ried and six children, family living in a
small cabin. Ten acres cleared at the
start, four more the first year, seventy
today; nice home, barns, buildings, three
cows, three mules, hogs, garden, peach
orchard, vineyard; value $7,000.00; his
own boss ; liberty and living !
In this section it is interesting to note
that the average yield for cotton on all
farms of the State is over three hundred
Just to show what he could do on an
acre of typical Sand Hill land, J. B. Von
Canon raised a hundred and thirty-nine
bushels of corn in 1910 at a total cost of
twenty-nine cents per bushel, using six
teen hundred pounds of fertilizer made
up of one-third acid phosphate, one-third
kanit and one-third cotton seed meal.
Two years later, one thousand pounds of
fertilizer per acre produced forty-six
bushels per acre on thirty-five acres at a
cost of thirty-five cents per bushel.
Henry A. Page produced fifty bushels to
the acre on one hundred acres in 1912,
and in 1913 forty-five hundred bushels on
one hundred and forty acres.
And right here on the Pinehurst farms
eighty-six bushels per acre were produced
in 1912. H Here are C. C. Bennett's fig
ures on tobacco, a yield of one thousand
pounds of "bright" on six acres at a net
