How Wood Was Captured. * Mocresville Enterprise. Newspaper reports going out from ■ Statesville with reference to the eap - ture of Otto Wood at this place Mon day afternoon, does an injustice to the alert and brave policeman Chief O. I*. WoodsidC. The Statesville . correspondent states that the chief . and a large number of officers and . citizens took the prisoner, when in ■ fact not the case. Chief IVood . side didyhe job single-haudedly, and . persons who came up to the place ’ where the car and the'prisoner stood, i did not know what was taking place or wSbm the officer had arrested. The , officer, after receiving the message . >from Troutman that Wood was on route here, as quickly as pdsNible, se cured one of his high-powered rifles , and requisitioned Walter Kimmons , and his jitney. They were the only I two in pursuit. They overtook the , ear occupied by Wood before reach , ing the city limits, but had the' pre , caution not to attempt to arrest tile man where some one might get hurt , in case of a gun battle. After reach ing Canupp’s filling station the jitney driver passed Wood and then it was that the officer stepped out of his car with a rifle in hand and waved for ■ Wood to stop, in the meantime or- I tiering Kimmons to go on down the . road to avoid getting hurt, the jitney driver being 'unarmed. Wood slowed down and stepped out of the car, and after being told he was under arrest, offered absolutely no resistance. Chief Woodside accomplished the taking of the noted criminal in a manner most creditable, using every precaution to avoid bloodshed, in any event, and is to be commended for his bravery nnd his act in this instance.

Although the number of farms in tuia state has increased by approxi matelj 14.000. .during the five-year period, 1020 to 1025. the total farm acreage has decreased by about a mil lion and a half acres, and the' aver age acreage per farm has decreased from 74.2 to 06.6 gcres during the last five years. North. Carolina, in cttier words; has more farms than it had five years ago. but the farms are smaller than they were then, nnd the actual total fafni acreage is much less. In making public the figures, show ing comparisons for 1020 and 1925. dawn from the warm censuses of the two years, the United States depart -1 ment of commerce points out that the 1025 figures are preliminary and sub ’ jec£ to correction. | Pic comparative figures bring out ■ strikingly certain changes on North ! ' anoliim farms during the last five years. In addition to the farm acreage changes already mentioned, i they show; A decrease in the total : value llf farm lands and buildings, as well ns of tile value per farm nnd per acre; a decrease in livestock of oil si rts, with the single exceptions of mules; and a decrease in the total production of corn, oats, wheat, rye. bay, sweet potatoes, tobacco and cot i tori. The total number of farms in the ! state increased-from 200,763' in 1920 1 to 283.401, and during Hie same pe riod th<* total /arm acreage decreased ' from 20.021.736 in I*2o to 18 597- 705 in 102a; Increase in the number of 'fann ers together with the number of farms is shown. Tile number of white! farmers increased from 103,477 in' 1920 to 202.526 in 1025; colored farm | trem 76,200 to 80,065; farmown ' ers increased from 151.376 to 154.813, and tenants from 117,450 to 128!254.' Farms operated by managers showed' i a dcrcase, the 1020 figure being 028 ■ as compared with 424 in 1925. The percentage of North Carolina ! farms operated by tenants increased ; during the five years. In 1020, 43.5 . per cent, of the state's farnvs were ; operated by tenants, and in 1025 the Percentage had increased to 45.2. ’ The total value of all farm lands • and buildings in North Carolina de- I creaseil from $1,076,392,060 in 1020, when farm lands were rtotahly high in this state, to 030.281.778 this year i —a decrease of nearly a hundred fifty milljcn dollars. The value of the land along was $857,815,016 in 1020. as compared with $680,710,172 in ’ 1930: and that of the buildings alone ‘ "*§B $218,577,044 in 1020 nnd $240.- iwp.6o6 iir 1025. In other words, ’ farm bttildifigs in this state increased ’ ing value during the five years by ; ab#ut 22 millions dollars, but the [anil 1 decreased in value during the same 1 period by 168 million dollars, t, . and buildings on-tbe'- av ! ♦•eeet Nqrth. Cnrojipn SSfm were Worth $3,000 in 1020. nnd $3383 this - year. .And they' were worth an av erage per acre of $53.76 in 1020 and 5 $50.02 !n 1025. The figures show a decrease in the | number of horses on North Carolina i farms from 171.430 in 1020, to 129,- | 800 this year: in the number of i cattle, from 644,770 to 544,612; and Pest and Flagg’s Cotton Letter. | New York.

Despite an increase from 1.373.701 I j To 1.733,368 in the number of acres devoted to cotton, the production of the crop shows a net decrease of nearly 3,000 bales.

The acreage devoted to velvet beans increased nitre than one-third during the five years, the acreage figures for 1920 and 1925, respectively, being 3,- 153. and 4,620. Tlte figures show development of orcharding, with the exception of those dealing witfi young apple trees. The number of apple trees bearing in- j creased from 3.474,821 to 3.720,244.
