CROPS IN THE STATE SHOW A
DECLINE IN SEPTEMBER
All North Carolina crops on Oct 1
showed a decline in-condition and
prospective yield since Sept 1, due
largely to the continued serious dry
weather conditions, according to the
State co-operative crop ' reporting
service.
Pastures show the remarkable de
cline of from 91 to 65 per cent Dur
ing September cotton declined 9 per
cent field peas 5, vegetables and pea
nuts 6 per cent Compared with last
year the condition of corn is 7 per
cent lower, cotton 13 per cent below,
tobacco 20, oats yielded much lower,
and sweet potatoes are 6 per cent
less. North Carolina's place last yar
f sixth among the States in crop pro
duction will probably be lost this
year.
Tobacco with a 15 per cent in
crease in acreage, due to the 20 per
cent decrease in condition, will make
much less production than last year.
The yield expected is near 825,000,
000 pounds. Corn is forecasted at
about 6,000,000 bushels below the
1918 crop (64.365,000 bushels).
The Oct. 1 State conditions of
crops were: Corn 79 per cent of a
full crop or normal condition; cotton
61, tobacco 66, oats 75, Irish pota
toes 72, sweets 80, peanuts 74, pas
tures 65, field peas 70. soy beans 71,
vegetables 73, apples 35 (commercial
20), and sorghum cane 81 per cent.
The State's corn crop has 3,126,
000 acres that promise 58,769,000
bushels. Tobacco on 460,000 acres is
forecasted to produce 285,000,000
pounds, 6econd largest State in pro
duction. The 89,000 acres of sweet
potatoes are expected to produce 8,
775,000 bushels, making it the third
largest potato producing State.
The piedmont and southwestern
belt have suffered severely from the
long dry weather seasons. In fact
September is expected by Lee A.
Denson, director of the district
weather bureau, to be the dry est on
record ; against our past month's rec
ord of about one inch, according to
about 100 recording stations over the
State, while August was two inches
short
SALTING BABIES
(Charlotte Observer)
"I received a letter today from a
friend who has been traveling in Eu
rop eand Asia," said a well known
woman yesterday, "and she was tell
ing of a custom that she had run
upon that of salting new-born ba
bise, a custom which is practiced in
certain regions of Europe and Asia.
The Armenians of Russia, she writes,
cover the entire skin of the baby with
very fine salt, which is left on for
three or four hours. A mountain
tribe of Asia Minor are even more
peculiar, It is said that they keep
their new-born babies covered with
salt for a period of 24 hours. The
Greeks also sprinkle their babies with
salt. The mothers believe that this
practice brings health and serves to
keep away the evil spirits as well."
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The simplicity of the Ford car, its stability
in construction, the famous heat treated

and flexibility, the low cost of operation and

Hick Says Sine Tkinf Tanlac AU
Hi Trouble. Hav
Disappear!
"Tanlac made a well man of me
after I had suffered for fourteen
years and spent hundreds of dollars
m trying to get relief," said E. A.
Hicks, well known merchant of
Bakewell, Tenn.
"I was in miserable shape," he con
tinned, "and ten years ago I became
so much worse that I had to quit
working at my trade and bought a
store where the work would be light
er on me. I had hardly any appetite,
and after forcing down anything I
would become nauseated and begin
vomiting. Gas pressed so on my
heart that I would almost smother
to death and would feel as though
there was a hard lump in my stom
ach, and often I would be in so much
misery that I would have to go to
bed.
"I tried everything I could think
of but got no relief till I started on
Tanlac. By the time 1 had taken half
a bottle I was feeling like, a new
man. When I had taken three bot
tles I found I had gained ten pounds
and my food did not hurt me at all.
My appetite picked up right away,
and now I don't have a bit of trouble
with gas or indigestion and every
body around here is talking about
how well I am looking. I sure do
feel fine and it was nothing but Tan
lac that fixed me up."
All druggists sell Tanlac.

The Most Welcome Tire
That Ever Came to Market
Men Who Appreciate Superlative Values Prefer The Brunswick
In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: "How much can
we give for the money?" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con
cern, noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1845 has once
more proved that its policy is right
A perfect tire is simply a matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skimping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes a brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not a man
among them has spent less than
20 years in handling rubber.
Each is a master of his craft
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick direc
tors receive sincere consideration.
Every proved betterment is
adopted unanimously.
The Brunswick Tire is a combi
nation of acknowledged features
plus Brunswick standards of manu
facture. The result is a super-tire, the like
of which you have never known be
fore. The kind of a tire you will
gladly join in welcoming.
Yet Brunswicks cost no more
than like-type tires.
Try ONE Brunswick. We prom
ise a surprise. And we feel certain
that you will want ALL Bruns
wicks. Then good tires will have a new
meaning to you.
