CURRENT VIEWPOINTS OF
NORTH CAROLINA FARMERS
The Crop Reporting Service for
North Carolina lias just received a
iarge number of special reports from
all perts ot the state concerning farm
activities. The reports are pri
maril bankers, county farm agents,
and county supeintendents of schools
who are interested in fanning. The
four subjects covered are (1) Some
thing worth reporting about farming;
(2) What .farmers need; (3) The co
operative marketing situation, and
(4) Things of especial interest;.to
farmers. ' . .
The outstanding features are (1)
that the cooperative marketing sit
uation is more favorable than here
tofore; (2) that the farmers need
better systems of cash credit; and(3)
that the farmers are optimistic and
actively at work, taking advantage
of the March favorable weather.
Polk and Stanly counties call
especial attention to the increases in
clover and permanent pastures. For
instance, in Rowan and Stanly a very
large seeding of lespideza clover is
being made. Iredell also ccmes in for
her great interest in these, pasture
and hay crops this year. The opti
mism of farmers is especially note
worthy, in view of last year's un
favorable crop year. From Carteret
county comes the expression, "Fann
ers more detennined than ever to
make good this year. "Other expres
sions are "Interested in better seed;
Cholera bar in Buncombe county;
Fanners living more economically
and working harder.'
While the principal items reported
were the need of better cash credit
for farmers and a better marketing
system, the whole idea carries the
realization that more business meth
ods and ideas are needed in farm
ing. While they call for more farm
ini'onnation, it will be well to tell
how fanners would be more recep
tive to information already offered.
1' More diversity of farming, the pro
duction of more home" supplies, . the
quitting of time- iu ftvw- of - cas^
prices, and more saving of Soil fer
tility and farm feeds" are needed.
From most section of the state
come reports that the cooperative
marketing is more in favor than here
tofore. In several localities this
movement is report ;d at a low ebb.
unsatisfactory and gaining a black eye
These latter expressions apply most
ly to the tobacco association. Several
reports of it being the "best meth
od yet" and "members showing a
fine spirit of loyalty" are received.
The slow payments seem to be the
chief complaint.
The interest in poultry seems to be
general throughout the state. The
realization that better care in feed
ing, culling, etc., ,pays handsomely,
is putting new life in this feature of
fanning Spraying and pruning has
been later than usual, due mostly to
the unusually early spring weather.
Watauga county reports plans for in
creasing the potato acreage more tha-j
ever. Mecklenburg says that the
farmers are organizing to buy ferti
lizer. Nash shows poultry and pig
clubs gaining wide interest As one
county reports, "There is more in
terest in building up soils and improv
ing and beautifying the home? and
home grounds, than ever."
