ROYSTER -A, W. GRAHAM Commissioners. FINANCIAL. CHANCES IN MODERN FARMING Wall street should cheer up. If it can't high finance any more railroads in the old fashioned way .which was somewhat detrimental to unsuspect ing railroads, it can come down into North Carolina and farm. The Street should not overlook the rat tl-at a :l0J-aere farm of tobacco on the Atlantic Coast Line nettled its owner 0,0 00 last year and has him counting on $60,000 this year. The fortunate man who owns the farm is Mr. J. A. Harps, a forward looking Ohio man who happened a few years ago to become obsessed with the pos sibilities of agriculture in Nation's Garden Spot. The Ohioan picked out North .Carolina for. his and for that reason he is picking up a fortune. Not every man can do just what Mr. Harps has done, simply as a matter of course, but if he can do it the chances of others who can bank on their qualifications and enterprise are just as good as his. His success is significant of the fact that in North Carolina a new-comer who, can do things can do them and get his in goodly proportion to what he does. A man really does not , have to make a profit of even $30,000 on 300 acres of land unless he wants to get rich qaioK and cock up his heels and take it-easy in ten or twelve .years. If he could only rake in net earnings of $20,000 a year, in ten years he could jump the game with $200,000 with which to buy North Carolina 4 per cent bonds that will yield him an income of $8,000 a year for. the bal ance of his life. It should be stated that the far seeing Mr. Harps furnishes us a nota ble example of creating productive values out of North Carolina land by means of modern farming. In the first place, he bought his land at a very low price, because some people had no idea it was good for anything but partridge nests and rabbits. II had no fixed or asset value when he got to tickling the soil and making ii laugh, he created a new vision amen land owners. He was the cau.se of bulling the "price of lands in his part of the State, and it happens that the increased value of his own lands ever the price he paid foots up a great fortune m itself. Mr. Harps started in with luck and is keeping on haying it, and the sec tion where, he settled is just as lucky as he is, because a man of his type landed in its midst with a big augur and just bored with it. We contemplate with intense satis faction the remarkable experience and success of Mr, Harps, but oui lingering and lasting joy lies in the fact that a small farmer has oppor tunities in like proportion to those who come here and just spread them selves.

" - That one-twentieth of all the stock bred on the open range of the West dies " before it reaches a marketable age is the statement of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. Poisonous plants sometimes kill half the ani mals in a herd almost over night; the storms of winter and drought of sum mer coyer the plains with the bleach ing boes of .cattle and sheep; dise ases work sad hayoc; insects "which madden and kill" wear away and waste many others. This report, is sued last month by the Department, tells a story of lonely suffering and death almost bteyond comprehension The government is actively engag ed in trying to change these condi tions which, in addition to all the suffering, are causing such an enor mous economic loss. The officials of the Department " of Agriculture have asserted that the loss from disease and exposure, and ill-treatment among the cattle, sheep, swine and horses of this country would build a Panama Canal eyery twelve months NEARLY $10,000,000 IX AUTOS What do you think gentle reader of nearly ten million dollars being in vested in automobiles in North Caro lina, yet such is a fact. Inquiry at the Secretary of State's office shows that np to date license has been issu ed to 1.2,600 machines for the year ending June 30, 1915. Averaging these machines at $750.00 each, which is an exceedingly low estimate, would show the value to be $9,450,- 000. No wonder the cost of living has increased. And this is not the total number of machines in the state for quite a number have not yet paid the license tax. And they had better get busy for this tax was due July 1, and the department has in structed the sheriffs of the different counties in the state to get behind the owners of unlicensed machines and. see that they come across with the cash at once or be fined for their delinquency. Last year the tax was paid on 7,- 618 in the state, showing an increase of nearly 5,000 machines, within the past twelve months. The tags this year are of a green color while last year hey were white. There is one county in the state, Mitchell, in which the sheriff reports there is not a single gas wagon,.
