NORTH CAROLINA FARMS
Hy h(»re Than Any State in the I n
• kui Except Texas.
Raleigh, N. p., Oct. 17.—(AO —North
Carolina (iaa more farms than any
state in the anion, with the single ex
ception.of Texas. And this state has
! jumped from fifth plate in the number
| of farms in 1020 to second place this
| Year.
' This' is shown by figures made pub
! lie today by the UnitiS States Depart
. ment of Agriculture, the comparison
being made between figures returned by
I the 1020 farm census and those re
| turned this year inwhe farm census.
| The 1025 figures, says the depart
ment, are preliminary and subject to
correction.
North Carolina this year has 283,-
400 farms'. Texas, the only state out
distancing North Carolina in the num
ber of fnrms ha8'460,420. North Car
olina’s nearest competitor for second
place 1h Missouri, with 260,485.
The number of farms in this state
duriug the five-year period 1020 to
1025, increased 18,782, the percentage
of increase being 5.1. Two other
states show larger increases. Texas,
in which state the number of farms
showed an increase of 30,387; and
California, where the increase was 18,-
743. .... -
North .Carolina’s increase in the to
tal number of farms came during "n
period wbenVhere was a net decrease
throughout tthe United States as u
whole of 75.735, or, 1-2 per cent.
Twenty-four, states, or exactly half,
showed decreases during t he*five years.
Rhode Island, with 3,001 farms,
has fewer than any state in the un
ion. NeVada, however, with just 3.0J2
is only one farm ahead of the smallest
state in point, of area. In .the I)is
> trjet of Columbia there aye only 131)
farms, which is a decrease of 65 front
J the figures for five years ago.
j In the tv'llth Atlantic States, North
‘ | Carolina showed the largest percent
age of increase, while Delaware, where
> I the percentage of increase was 1.2.
■ | showed tike smallest percentage. The
>((number of farms in Georgia decreased
| 10.8 per cent, during the fiVc-year pe
riod, while ,the decrease in Boufh
Chrotina .was 16.3 per ceht. AH oth-.
er , South Atlantic states showed iu-
Aegaea. . . ,
Deqreaaes ig the number of farms is
shown in all the ‘Middle Atlantic
States, all tire east 11015th central'
states except Wisconsin. the east
south central states, and four of the
mountain states —Montana. Wyoming,
Idaho and Colorado. TheNdecreasc in
Montnna was 18.4 per cent., and 16,
623 in numbers.
Commenting 04) the net decrease in
the numbers of farms in the nation,
the Department states that this is
the reijult of Considerable decreases in
some seefiens, which were partly of
set by increase in others. It mentions
as among -the reasons for the de
crease'the following: the ravages of
the boll Weevil in some of the cotton
states; the migration of negro farm
workers; a succession of dry season
in parts of the Northvfest; the con-,
so'.idatlon of farms* ami a general re
cession from-the wartime expansion
in agriculture, an expansion which
still persisted in 1020.
Some of the reasons which it be
lieves account for the• increases are:
the opening up of Hew lands in parts
erf the west ; the; subdivision of ranch
-1 es and large faring for more extensive 1
operation, and the development of or
chards, poultry farms. ,
In discussion the piethod by which
the farm census is taken, the Depart-:
ment explains that a “farm" for cen-i
sus purposes, is all the land which is:
directly farmed by one person, either
by his own labor alone, or with the
assistance of membms of his house
hold or hired employes. When ai
laud owner has one or more tenants,
renters, croppers, or managers, says,
the Department, the land operated hy.
each is considered a “farm."
j Mr. Sniff (at the soda fountain) :
“What will you take, Miss Guzluni?
They have all the up-to-date drinks:
here.”
Miss Gualum; “I think I'll try a
glass of that Tepsodeirt’ that 1 see l
advertised so much. It sounds good,
doesn't it?” ‘ .

—Love Feast Follows. ,
j The Western North Carolina Meth
odist Conference is on the brink of
a volcanic eruption over modernism
and fundamentalism, according to
an article In the Statesville'* Ledger.
The Ledger, published where the
confluence is holding its aiiaraal—ec*-
Siou, says that on Thursday night a,
aeerct meeting of th fundamentalists:
was held at the district pnrsoaikge.
The .dash between the optioning
forces was occasioned by the election

d The statement that the seevet
meeting was held at 'the district
parsonage caused Presiding Elder
D. il, Litaker of Statesville to arise
to « point of personal privilege in
the Conference Saturday. He denied
knowing anything about the purpose
of the meeting held at his hofte and
said that he was neither a modernist
! nor a fundamentalist but ay simple
Methodist preacher of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. '
The article in the Ledger says
that Dr. Gilbert T. Rowe, book edi
tor of the Southern Methodist
dhurc'j and Dr. A. W. Plyler, editor
lof the Christian Advocate, declared
one of the fundamentalists to be]

"For several years 1 have been

found any real genuine relief until I
began using this great nature remedy,

medicine worthy of the highest possi

before she used HERB JUICE, she

fered dreadfully with stomach trou

liver so much that I was in as.very
rundown condition. I never had any
amretite or energy, and just felt tired
Mid all wornout all the time. I knew
that my system was in a iHiisonous
state and that I needed a thorough
cleanser, also .something to build me
up. As HERB JUICE was rccimi
. (pended for such ailments as I balk I
bought a botfle and began using it
lied now I can say that after giving
- it a fair trial, ‘lt’s worth its weight in
gold.’ No more stomach trouble—in
digestion is a tlijinr of the past, ray
appetite has beeu restored, liver very
active and I am not -bothered one bit
with nervousness and weak spells.
Bowels regular and I have no trace

JUICE has built hp my rundown con

in a Jong time. Not only has this
fut medicine been of exceptional bon

my children than any/medicine L
te ever had in my home. My chil

whenever I feel like they need .a good
laxative. They seem to thrive on it.
consequently they keep in a healthy'

condition. We luive enormous, appe

will always be in my home and many
others, too. if my hearty recommenda
