YIELDS OF GRANVILLE COUNTY PROFITABLE? i I Deductions By David D. Long, Soil i farmers are trying to work out of a ! wn-depression, it is essential that farm -. . ! versification always has been a pay ing proposition even before the holl weevil came and especially so in re lation to the produettion -of home i suDtdies. Taking for a basis the average Deductions for by-products were made from the total costs. Such de- j ductions included fodder from corn, Tobacco . 73.06! 'Cotton. Tne average acreage cost of $32.15 for 0tt.0n nroduction requires for expenses a vield of 218 lbs of lint with seed, if cotton sells for 15c a oound and coton seed at $40 a ton. The averasre yield of Granville coun ty for 1919 was 2B2 lbs of lint ac cording to the United States census! of 1920. - Corn. The census reports an average of 14.1 bushels of corn for Granville countv.

With the cost of production as determined byjtnirdt In each state' a prize of $15 Pan Williams at $73-06 per acre, the cost per nound would be 14.3 cents as against 10.5 cents for the state averaee. It is well understood, however, that tobacco is a crop of quality rather than one of yield. Sweet Potatoes. The average vield of sweet pota-i" toes for Granville county in 1919 asc shown bv the census report of 1920 was 94.5 bushels per acre. The an-jof schools, have been requested by alysis of cost of nroduction by theE c.

With a yield of 100 bushels per acre the cost was reduced to 28 cents per bushel and the profit increased to $27.27 per acre. v.. 22 cents and the profit per acre in- j ! creased to $65.01. From the above figures it apears urgent that the acreage yield of all crops be increased to a profitable point. The farmer well knows what it takes to make higher yields per acre. He knows the value of good sed. building up the spil with organ ic matter, the intelligent use of fer tilizers, cultivation, etc. and now is a good time to practice these measures to put the farm on a profiable yield basis. Some reader has in his mind the rmestion of markets.- All market ing associations well managed will certainly help in the matter of dis-f tribution and prices. However, no j marketing association will be able to turn high costs per bushel or pound on account of low acreage yiems into a profit. Marketing is no substitute for low acre yields and high costs, nor is it a substitute for good seed, good fertilizers or good farming. But above all, consider carefully if your average yields are profitable! If not, plan to make them profitable. If they are, plan to keep them profi table or to increase the profits per acre.

Lexington last, week aid resulted in the conviction of J. W. Kepley, manager of the Hotel March at that place. The management of the Hotel j March was charged with violating four sections of the law, namely: failure to keep posted a list of charges for rooms; failure to pro vide proper bed linen; failure to' keep bedsand bedding free from vir min; insanitary conditions in kitchn. Practically all the hotles of the state have shown a desire to heartily co-operate with the State Board of Health in observing the provisions of this law, which was jointly drawn by commitees of the ravleing men and hotel managers in conjunction with the state health officer. Many on inspection have scored approxi mately perfect, and nearly all have promptly remedied defects discov- lever upon inspection.
