INSTRUCTIVE . TALK
BY EDMUND ALEXANDER
Calif ornian, Compares Results
Obtained In This Section
With Those of West ,
At a meeting of the Craven County
Dairymen, held this afternoon at the
Chamber of , Commerce and presided
over by GV; C. , Kirkpatrick; Edmund
Alexander,.: district manager -of the
Pacific Mutual-:L.if& Insurance. Com-'
pany and ; afmative of North Carolina
but who has lived for i many years in
.California,! j-had. "1 pome' interesting
things to say in connection with the
fipp'ointment. 'of -,'sc . meat fnd dairy
inspector for Craven county. The as
sociation discussed the subject thor
oughly, and - expressed themselves as
thoroughly in favor "of securing an
inspector. , .'.V' "v.
It.- is . understood that if the ' in
spector, is secured, part of his salary
Will be. paid by - the city and part by
the : county Other counties in the
state . have made this appropriation
and, in every case, have found it wel!
worth while. , ' ,
Mr. Alexander said that--after an
absence., of : sixteen -years from his
native .state he was astonished to see
such: a poor system of farming in a
number. of Eastern counties, in com
parison with the almost perfect sys
'tem adopted in Cahornia, wher the
farmers owned their own homes, all
of which looked new and rfeshlv
painted and the cultivated land kept t
m . first class condition. :
In his opinion, the reason for such
poor farming in 'Eastern Carolina, is'
due ;o the tennant system, that in
Bdgecomb county 70 per cent of the.
people were tennants, and no country
sould be ful'y - developed untij the
working people owned - their own
homes. That . it was the imperative
duty of the large land owners to sub
divide their holidays, build comforc
ible dwellings, : and to sell to indus
trious people at reasonable prices on
long ,time.' He? said that the person
.that corners -land' -and refuses to sell
it a. fair price, for the purpose ' ot
building up homes, was a worse crim
inal' than the., person that cornered
meat and bread, for, without lani
there could be! no meat or bread.
