Not all crops have been up to the
raeanmrriacrjfinere i
have been decreases ia more thai
one, but prices have been good aLc
total receipts have brought up th .
total to the mo .t satisfactory poin
yet reached."
The cotton crop in the State ha
been less than that of 1911, the re
cord cotton year all over the count
ry, but at that it has not been alar
mingly less. The number of bata
of cotton ginned to December 1, 19
11, was .913,000. This year tht
number was 820,000. Increase-:
prices f r the staple have wiped ou-
the deficit, and it may be that . fin-
al figures will show that the receipt
for farm products in the State hav
been much larger than those of 19 11
inspite of crop shortages in several
products.
The corn crop was approximately
20 per pent short A wet spring
delayed planting in lowlands; a dry
summer burned up the highland
crops. The wheat crop was as good
a3 that of the previous year, but
the quality was not so good.
Though greater emphasis is being
brought to bear week by week on
intensive cultivation, the yield per
acre is not as large as it was the
year previous, farmers have shown
a greater interest in the selection
of seed than ever before.
The number of hogs raised in the
State was greater, but the number
of cattle was less.' It is explained
that the production of cattle is
growing less because of frequent
salves to butchers..
What Major Graham considers
one of the mosv encouraging feat
ures of the year's report is the de
crease in food products imported.

Eucational Growth.
Figures in the educational de
)Artinent of the State ,ully bear
out the increase in other lines.
The total school fund grew from
aearly three and a half millions in
1911 to nearly four-and a half mil
lions in 1D12. And even at that
:he average rural school term in
North Carolina is only 97,63 days.
In 1911 it was 94.3 days. A six
months' term as a minimum is one
jf the recommendations of Superin
tendent of Public Instruction Jo -ner
to the governor, and to the
coming session uf the legislature.
Valuation of school property has
increased. The 7,777 school houses
at present are valued . approxi
mately seven and a quarter millions
while the 7,675 in 1911 were valued
at six and a half millions. There
are fewer school houses now than
there were in 191 1, due to consoli
dation. There was an increase in the
amounts coming in liom local tax
ation of $166,1)00. There was an in-
I u:i j 1 a. . - r jLi
cimunjii ueiween me ages 01 eigni
to fifteen years.
Statistics of all departments, such
as are available are, however, mer
ly the outposts of an army of fact8
that are expressed in figures on the
books of countless enterprises of a
thousand sorts all over the State.
People of North Carolina are fortu
nate in that it needs no statistical
study to see that the State is . pros
pering. Statistics merely confirm a
growth that is as steady as the sea
sons, and one that has not only been
teadily increasing but which has
been -increasing in a steadily grow
ing ratio.
MS. ALLEY T ! MOVE

Hon. Felix E. Alley, Solicitor of
the 16th Judicial District, of Web-
Ister, was in the city Tuesday en-
route to Waynesville to make final
arrangements to move his family
to that place, which he will do with
in the next few weeks.
While Mr. Alley will engage ,in
the practice of law in Waynesville,
he will still have an offiee at Web
ster and will retain his partnership
with Mr. C. C. Buchanan.
Although we regret very much
to lose Mr. Alley as a citizen of
Jackson county, we congratulate
crease of forty-four districts in the , Hsywood on having made such a
State. Three hunured and fifty : valuable addition 10 her citizenship,
