BOOST BIKE SHOP BREAD
BY BUTO IT ONLY
There has been much said
about buying at home hereof late
not only by our merchants in
North Wiikesboro, but by people
all over the State, which we be
lieve is the right spirit. "Let the
horse that pulls the plow have
the fodder." It is our duty to
patronize home industries. They
help pay the town and county
taxes. Why not patronize them'?
There has been recently estab
lished in this town a bakery, and
in order that it might succeed it
will require the support, of the
community. Tell your merchant
that, you want the Elcctrik Maid
Bake Shop bread, that you be
lieve in supporting home indus
tries, and you may bet they will
supply your demand. Its their
business to supply their customers'
wants. So teU'em what you
want.

CHOP
, GOOD-GREAT DEMAND
'"'Southern Pines, in'the Sandhill
section, June 21. The dewberry
crop is harvested and sold, and
the returns have been satisfactory
to. the farmers. The amount of
niouey that has come in has ma
terially effected the finances of he
sandhills, and farmers are prepar
ing to cut the canes and get the
dewberry fields started for anoth
er year. The canes on which the
crop of one year is made, bear no
further crops, so the method is to
cut out at once all the old canes
and stimulate a good crop of new
canes from now until winter, for
on that crop of canes will come
the berries next year. Therefore
next year's dewberry 'cut) must
be largely the result of handling
the fields from now until killing
frosts come in the fall. The dew
berry men arc taking hold in ear
nest for another year.
The peach crop outlook was
never so good as this summer.
The early stuff going into market
is bringing top prices with (lie de
mand taking
everything that is offered. Geor
gia Belles and Elbortas will begin
to move in about three weeks,
and 'they are shaping up in excell
ent style. Spraying and care in
cultivation have kept insect pests
down and peach men expect to
forward a crop that will be in the
pink of perfection. It will also
be the biggest poach crop ever
harvested in the North Carolina
sandhills, which moans the biggest
peach crop ever marketed from
North Carolina.
The demand for fruit, this year
has boon better than for the last
two or three years. The straw
berry crop found a good market
at good prices, and t he earlyGeor-
gia peaches, which are going in
sooner t his year than last year
and in greater quantities, meet a
strong market, indicating that
fruit will be active long as any
thing in the south is to be moved.
The sandhill growers are looking
for a crop t hat will bring close to
wo million dollars.
The warm weather and the
frequent rains have given cotton,
corn and tobacco a decided lift.
Only fair crops of apples, peach
es and pears are now expected 1n
the United States this .year, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture oillcials. The frosts
in late May reduced prospects in
many scattered sections, particu
larly in sonic of the central slates
Virginia, Michigan and parts of
New York.
The northwest expect more ap
ples than were picked last year,
but for the country as a whole
the crop seems likely to be lighter
though much depends on rainfall
during the next few months.
Peach shows a large increase in
California where most of the crop
is canned or dried, but in practi
cally all other important states
the crop is substantially smaller
than last year. Even in Georgia
where inauv yoiuiii licc.i aie coin
ing into bearing, the crop is ex
pected to bo loss than 7,000,000
bushels compared with S.MO.OOO
bushels last year.
The pear crop is reported only
fair this year, California alone
among the important producing
states expecting a materially larg
er crop than in the preceding sea
son. What kind of stuff is the Amer
ican Legion made of? Head The
