Walter Hotel Raleigh, Sept. 4.—Frequently as many as four crops may be grown and harvested in one season on the same land in sections of eastern North Carolina, according to results of an acreage and yield survey of crops made in parts of Duplin and New Hanover counties by D. R. Pal mer, representatives of the depart ment of agriculture. National resources, together with scientific farming, places this state in position to produce more commodi ties than demand calls for under the present methods of distribution. This becomes self-evident when truck fields are observed; thousands of dollars worth of marketable farm commodi ties destroyed in fields, farmers being unable to get a price lfcrge enough to justify marketing their products. A survey of crop acreages and yields has been made lu sections of Duplin and New Hanover counties for the purpose of procuring samples to use as a basis of study in solving farm problems. It was found that out of each acre of land in cultivation during the past season crops equiva lent to 1,470 acres had been grown. . -. ... ... v.L: f Engaged v. : j i rr^m Sir Henry Thornton, head o| the Canadian national rail ways, was reported engaged to Miss Martha Watriss, twen ty-five, a New York society girl. 35 REPORTED KILLED IN TYPHOON IN’ JAPAN Storm One of Most Severe in Recent Years, Say Tokio Reports.

The United States consumes about * one-fifth of the total tion of the world. This was made possible by planting , from one to four crops on the same , land. Where this intensive type of “double cropping” is practiced, crops are planted in wide rows nnd as sooii as cultivation ceases another crop is planted between the rows and gets its growth while the other matures and is harvested. Soil fertility is maintained not only by the use of commercial ■fertilisers but legumes nnd cover crops ns well. It was found that 86 per cent, of the corn acreage in Faison and Cape Fear townships had either soy beans or cow peas as a companion crop. Weather conditions early in the season were very unfavorable Which resulted in late crop maturity and unsatisfactory prices to many farm ers. The season as a whole was up to ail average, some profiting while others suffered from weather condi tions. Truck crops given in descending or der according to acreage planted to each are as follows: early Irish po tatoes snap beans, cucumbers, let ; ture. watermelons, garden peas, sweet potatoes, cantaloupes, table beeta, strawberries, collarde, cabbage and . aweet corn. , , CONCORD, N.
