GOOD CHOP YIELDS ARE
FORECAST IN DISTRICT
Fi|« Federal Reserve Bank Sees
Season for Farmer.
■ Raleigh, X. C„ Aug. 31—(AP)—
Pointing out thnt the fifth Federal
Reserve district is largely ngricnltnr
il, and that the prosperity of the
'armer is vital, for that reason, the
Monthly Review of the fifth district.
>ub!lsbed by the statistical depart
ment of the Federal Reserve Bank
it; Richmond anti jiwt receive;! here,
declares that on the whole, present
conditions are for larger yields in
most of the district's leading crops.
It adds, however, that "refill rX;
this year wi’.l be unevenly distribut
ed, and it is highly necessary mat
business firms survey local condi
tions carefully in making plans for
fall and winter business. While the
cotton crop of the district is expect
ed to exceed thnt o.- 1024. says the
Review.—and here it gives an er
ample of the uneven distribution —
“in Piedmont South Carolina, one of
the best business sections of the dis
trict, the crop is veiry poor.*’
The cotton crop yield in North
Carolina will be far in excess of that
of last year, according to the Re
view, but the tobacco crop is under
thnt of last year, whie' itself was not
up to normal. Other crop conditions I
in this state vary. j
"Xorth .Carolina." says the publi
cation, “is expected to produce 1.-!
114,300 bales of cotton this year,
compared with 858,017 bales ginned
in 1024. Weevil damage prior to
August 1 was less serious than had
been feared, due chiefly to the dry,
hot weather which was unfavorable
for weevil developemont. The wcut.ier
however, caused excessive shedding
< squares and bolls and brought an
ean* maturity while the plants were
stillTsiuc.il. Stands are rather irregu
lar hud spotted, especially in Pied
mont counties. The first grown bolls
were noticed about three days earlier
than last year.”
The condition of the rooacco crop
on August 1 was 74 per cent of a
normal. This was in comparison witli
81 percent on July 1. this year, aud
77 percent on August 1, 11)24. The
year's production is forecast at 207,-
184,000 pounds which « 18,000,000
pounds or 7 percent above the stat
ed 1024 production, but 0.5 jiercont
below the five-year average.
“Prospects", says the Review, "are
unusually good in the Coastal count
ies, the belt running through the
northern Piedmont and mountain
counties having suffered most from
the drought. Plants are “firing" bad
ly. and the color of the tobacco is
poor.”
With the corn condition 72 percent
of normal, on Augustl, n production
for the state of 41,875,571 bushels is
indented. 'Phis is six percent under
the 11)24 yield. The August let fore
cast of 0.801,000 bushels of sweet
potatoes was about five percent
above last year’s production. Prices
on sweet potatoes, on which ship
ments have begun, are reported as
“very satjgfcctory.”
"Hay Https,” continues the Feder-|
al Resergjj, publication, "were cut
by dry \»fi»ther, and many pastures
have bccßno practically useless for
weeks, hut rains after August Ist
improved the hay and pasture pros
pects considerably. Apple yields will
vary from very short to fair. Com
mercial orc'.iadists state the crop is
hardly half of last year's production.
The ipiality of the fruit is generally
good "
She Could Fairly Buna It l'p.
A certain business man not far
«Away advertised for a stenographer
l*n<l typewriter, and this is the way
he worded his ad:
"She must be fast, absolutely accu
rate, and have human intelligence.
If you are not a crackerjaek don’t
bother me."
The business man got lots of re
plies and amoug them was this one:
“Your advertisement appeals to me
strongly—stronger than prepared mus
tard—as I have seat'ched Europe.
Irope, Orope, Alrope and Hoboken,
in quest of some one who could use
my talents to advantage. Now, sir,
when it comes to this chin music prop
osition, I have never found man, wom
an or dietophone who could get first
base on me, either fancy or catcli-as
catch can. I write shorthand so fast
that I have to use a specially prepared
pen with nn asbestus point and a
water cooling attachment, and I use
n note pad of asbestos ruled with sul
phuric acid and stitched with eat-gut.
I run with my cut-out wide open at

If you would avail yourself of the op
portunity of al life time write me,
but unless you are fully prepared to
pay the tariff —my price—which is
some price—don’t bother me, as I am
as nervous as an ill bear and can't
stand still long enough to have my

She got the job.
Virginia Waking.
The Pathfinder.
In Virginia the Democrats have
just nominated Harry F. Byrd for
governor, and that is equivalent to
election as there is virtually only one
political party in that state.
Mr. Byrd wns chosen on the (rl&lge
that more good roads would be built,
taxes be reduced, better schools be
provided and the fee system by
which public officials are paid be re
formed. Under the abominable old
fee system an army of professional
office-holders are permitted to graft
on the people without let or hind
rnne. No state thnt tolerates such
vile injustice and such unbusiness
like methods in an age like the
present can expect to be classed as
progressive.
Virginia has long been ridden and
plundered by the politicians and it
would mark the dawn of a new day
for that' proud o’.d state if she would
summon up the courage to throw off
Bp curse.

Visit To Concord
Uncle Hez Hawkins Writes a Very Interesting Let
ter to The Concord Tribune.
Good Farmer Likes This Progressive City and Its Live 1 Merchants.
Praises Their O oils and Methods.
Be gosh. I didn’t know Concord
wuz such n bizzy town, but I can tell
you she's all right, and a plum good
un.
Me and Liza and the kids had been
aworkin' hard all Spring nnd Sum
mer and got together a bunch of
country produce and sum cotton and
cream what we had to sell. So Liza
sed to me one nlte as how we'd ought
to as well sell the things right now
and git ’em of'en our hands.
AA'e had been areadln’ all 'long
*bout the markets and from what we
could gether by words of mouth and
thru the local paper we decided that
Concord wuz 'bout the best market in
reach and Liaa decided—she alius
does the decidin’ for the family coze
she's decidedly the better half—as
how I'd better hitch up old Berk ami
Jude which is mules to us folks’
horseless kerridge and drive a few i
lodes of produce and cotton an' j
cream to Concord nnd soil at once, j
AA’ell. we had to pass through 2 or,
3 other larger ‘cities and all them
thare store merchants run out and
tried to stop Beck and Judge right
thare so's we'd trade in them towns,
but we jig ast the price of cotton an’
produce and come on.
And so we driv on again till we
driv up to Concord.
I wuz feeling purty good over them
prices I got for my cotton and pro
duce, an as I nachly felt like buyin’
somethin in Concord I went round ■
to the Cabarrus Cash Grocery Store.
Bein as how LT2h allers wants bis
cuits for breakfast, and a little sort
of sweetnin fer tiler coffee. I bought I
a barrel of ther famous Grimes’ flour |
which they sell. I also taken sum :
of them good canned goods an sum
Spartan Dairy Feed and one of them
good hams an sum of that honest to j
goodness ole time coffee, ther Own
Special Brand, very best that’s ground.
This an a dollar’s worth uv sugar,
and amity big un it wuz, got me
kinder started, and when I wound up
I had to give Swaringen and Petrea
a check fer over S2O to square off.
This kinder got me broke into byin
and so I struck out for a good place
to siied my old rusty suit, cause Liza
had done told me she wouldn’t go to
meetin' with me nary nother Sun
day, ’thout I bought me a new soot of
store clothes. The Efird’s Depart
ment Store wuz the very place and I
eouldn’t have been better pleased es
I’d asent to New York or Chicago for
’em. They are well knoed and also
standard and popular price brans gu
aranteed all sheep wool and to ware to
the entire satisfaction of the custo
mer. They fit a feller natehel an
easy and make ’em look like a city
drummer right out of a band box.
Eflrd’R Department Store also carry’s

Thars plenty of fizziks in that store

Feller tried to git funny as I past

down to make me take er hint, so I
marched around to the Bt. Cloud Bar
ber Shop and me an Sim both got a

.and Mr. Melchor done sich a nice job
on my bead I just aajra to myself I’ll

gals in fliar gettin their hair bobbed
f an the oie lady was powerful jealous
I when I told her bout seein all them

As I’d jist had my whiskers took •

[ | size photografts made at Orpin’s
Studio fer to send round to kin

them purty style 12x20 frames she’s
got. Found she also develops eodaek
filiums in good shajic and her charges
are very moderate, too. .
Liza lias been dead sot on a orter
mobile fer sqm time and she’s heerd
a lots about them Chevrolet cars,
what fine cars fer country roads an
sich. and in compliance with her
orders I went round to the White
Motor Co., ther otherized dealers for
Chevrolet care, and me au Sim looked
icm over. Tlieys tooring cars an seed-
I dans and coopays and gadabouts,
swell lookers an run like shure nuff

I bought previden Liza likes it when
j she sees it. I know we’ll git reel
automobeel service too if we buy from
the AA’hite Motor Company.
Me and Sim kinder begun ter feel 1

o’clock en so we went round to the
New A’ork Case fer tu git us n snak.
They shore feed you good thar; but
then they orter fer they keep sum tiv

never cost us but very little, nither.
The parson in our church sent er
, long a sute by me that he wanted
i Bob’s Dry Cleaning Co. ter clean up
and press fer him. Durn my skin
if I didn’t think they’s made a mis
take and gimme the rong sute, it all
looked so clene an dandified when
i they got thru with it. Bob’s Dry

I It’s no wonder Air. Ridenbour gets

IT COSTS a small fortune to make one watch, automobile or
fountain pen. It takes a large part of the brains and of the factory
to make just one of any manufactured product—but if a thousand
or a million can be made, the cost of each comes toppling down.
Advertising, by multiplying the number sold, makes it possible
to slash costs. Advertising, by opening up by undreamed-of mar
kets, has brought within reach of the people thousands of things

When you buy an advertised article, you join in the popular
