NORTH CAROLINA RANKS FOURTH IN VALUE OP CROPS North Carolina Ranks fourth in the total value of the 22 principal crops of the United States, for the year 1923, according to compilations of the United States Department of Agriculture. It is estimated that the value of all of the State's crops was $431,500,000. . The average acre-value of cotton was over $1000. | while thousands of farmers averaged overo 200 gross return. Tobac averages $160 per acre, r Regarding the record, the State Department of Agriculture, has is sued the following statement: "The value of crops in 1909 was $131,072,0i0 ; in 1919 it was $503 229,313, and in .1923 totaled $431, 500. Livestock products amounted to almost $15,000,000 in 1909 and $35,860,000 in 1919. The value of livestock was $62,650,000 and $119, 153,000 for the two periods respec tively. Put in another form, ^forth Carolina had an average value of $1, 865? per farm and $82.31 per acrp of crops in 1919, compared with |517 per farm and 22.21 average value per acre of crops in 1909. The rank of the State in 1909 was 21st in. crop value and fourth in 1922 and 1923. ' ' v "The most interesting statistics that, we might present to the agri cultural public would be those show ing the purchasing power of tho North Carolina farmer's dollar. By this is meant how much of non-farm products would it buy in comparison with what it would buy before the world war. ^rom our general knowl - edge of the situation, it is believed that this State has the highest pur chasing power of farm mon^y of any eastern State. This might even extend to the western States. "Think what this means! - With our long and well-watered seasons". . , ? o BETTER ENGLISH DRIVE ' The aim for this' Better English Drive for Jackson county is to arouse wide spread interest and secure con centrated effort of the school, homo and community toward improving the speaking; voice and raising the stand ard of speech usage in daily life; to have the children and conimunilie realize that pure interesting lan guage is our greatest asset in business and social life,, and develop an ideal of corrcct, ? accurate and pleasing speech. ? , To realize this aim the child must be taught that since the English lan guage is a precious heritage and our j medium of communication, th;i t it is his patriotic duty to respect his countrv's language as he honors his flag. He must be taught to acquire facility and skill in expressing him self in i clear Cfvrreet t'i rtfts ?? mother tongue by constant practice] and eternal vigilance. In oruer tiiai these may be realized, the home and community must cooperate with the school in eliminating slang and solv en Engl is! i, for the child's language is the result of example and imitation. He will use good English if he hears it constantly. Slowly but surely our nation is awakening to the great truth that a language learned and loved is a tie that binds citizen and country more closely than any other bond and should inspire cur boys and girls with the desire to say: "I pledge allegiance to my mother tongue" as fervently as they say, "I pledge allcgirfance to my ficg. SUNDAY SCHOOL OF FICIALS HAVE MEETING) ? r A meeting of the officer ; end tech ers of the Baptist Sunday School [ was held at the Sylva Hotel, en last Tuesday evening, a banquet be'rur ] feature of the evening. The tab!* in the new dining room of the hole was most attractive in its appoint ments, covers being laid for twenty. Mr. J. T. Gribble, superintendent of the Sundav School, called on Rev. W. R. Yokley, Mr. E. P. Stillwell, Rev. J. C. Hough and Mrs. W. R. Yokley for suggestions for increas ing the attendance and efficiency of the Sunday School. The Responses were interesting, as well 'as benefi cial. f Plans were laid and committees appointed looking toward* having a "Go To Sunday School Day," in Sylva,* in the near future. Those present at the meeting ex pressed the idea that the evening had been one of profit, as well as of great pleasure. MUNICIPALLY OWNED HOTEL GETS MUCH DISCUSSION I J * " J Citizens of Sylva have been in dulging in a great deal of street talk and other, discussion of a plan for a municipally owned hotel for the town, during the past few days. ; ( Tho matter has reached no definite? point as yet, but it is understood that a number of the leading citizens of the town favor the* proposition, while there is some objection to it from some quarters, it is said. The plan, un^er advisement is for the town to issue bonds for the pur pose of building a?city hall, where * the offices of the town will be locat ed, and in order to fill the need of n hotel for the city, and at the same time, make the municipal building pay for itself, to erect, in the same building, a modern hotel. This lias been done in North Caro- . Una, and in other states. A notable example of how it worked out is 10 be found it Wavrenton, v. hw the ( town owns one of% the best small . hotels in the state, in connection ' \ with the municipal building, and it is said that the structure has been pay? ing investment for that municipality, paying for itself, and at the same time bringing many dollars to the town, that formerly went elsewhere. Th#re is great need of additional hotel facilities in Sylva1, as is ad mitted by every citizen of the town. It is generally thought that a modem hotel in Sylva would be an excellent investment for private capital, and the proponents of the municipally owned building argue that if it would pay for private capital there is no reason why it shouldn't prove a good investment for the town,* if precautions are taken to see that the . money is wisely spent. CULL HENS BOB JACKSON COUNTY OT 9386.60 PEB YEAB (By R. W. GRAY, Farm Agent) According to extensiou experiments carried .on in Tennessee the workers find tluit 27.9 percent of the poultry are ?ulls. These same ? enlls when properly housed and fed produce only 1-2 egg n week per hen. , Basing Jackson county at the same per cent which is extremely low. I want you to take time to figure what we arc feeding to cull liens each year. Jackr:on county has 31,137 hens of laying age. 27.9 per cent of these hens are culls or 8688 cull hens.E?ch hen will cost the farmer 3-4 of a cent per day to feed. 8688 her.s cost the farmers of the county $65, 16 per day or $456.12 per week. Each cull hen will average 1-2 egg per week or 362 dozen eggs per week. These eggs at 49 cts. per do/-. bring in only $44.89 per week. Take the ineome $144.89 from the feed bill per week $456.12 and you have a net less $311.22 per week. The heavy laying period is usually about 39 weeks in the year. Multiply the loss for one week $311.22 by 39 and you will readily see the county is losing $9336.69 per year. After figuring this for your sell' on your own (lock and you sec what you are losing on your cull hens, sbe either Miss Mamie Sue Jones or my self and we will gladly show you how to eliminate your part of this less. | ? j o TWO ACQUITTED OF MURDER Asheville Time*. ?
