Did you ever think of the per ; acre- return on poultry in comparison with that I bjf crops ? The figures shown above are | not just arranged there for convenience but } actually show*’|he comparative per acre value |«is gathered ifrdift Viable sources. “The United States department of agricul * ture in their 1926 Yearbook giv'es;'ss2.39 as the ——average per acre cost of producing cotton bn farms yielding 300 to, 566 pounds of list cotton ■yvith an average credit 0f*510.47 for cottonseed K the actual cost of production $41.92 per acre.! 'j.'he average price per pound receiv- by producers in 1925 was 10 cents. Using as a basis 400 pounds of lint cotton produced iji the per acre value of cotton would he $76.00 ' with a production cost of $41.92 making a net profit of $84.08 per acre. “In 1925 the state of North Carolina aver aged a per acre yield of 660 pounds of tobacco, for which they received an average of 23c per pound or $151.80 per acre, according to the 1925 Yearbook of the United States depart . 8 ment of agriculture. The production cost of || tobacco in 1925 was approximately $60.10 per t acre, which leaves a net profit of $91.70 per acre. [1 “The per acre return of poultry was ftp'- ll pished by no less an authority than Dr. B. F (Kaupp, head of the poultry department of the North Carolina State College of Agriculture under whose supervision several poultry test plants are operated in this state. In one of 15 these test farms were 800 birds of the Rhode (Island Red and White Leghorn breeds. They produced a net income of $4,7 70.00 with a feed cost of $2,300.00 making the net return of $2,470.00 for the flock or $3.08 per bird. From j* good authority, we understand that at least jg 200 birds can be kept on one acre of land with [| out fear of crowding and still furnishing |j; ample room for ranging. From the above it It would appear that the net return per were with I j poultry would be approximately $616.00. “The community carlot poirftry sales along ! the Seaboard Air Line railway for' the year tending June 30th, 1926, removed from bur ter ritory 875,830 pounds of poultry, for which the producers were paid $212,013.32 in cask- This ivas an increase of 13 per cent over list year’s poultry movement. If you did not secure your Share of this money, you are passing up one ; : of the best paying lines of agriculture eh -11 dcavor.” This should impress upon the farmer, we ■j think, the importance of not putting all his a eggs in one basket The fanner of today should | hot be dependent on any one thing, lie should fi have some cotton, some tobacco and some 11 other money crop all right, but he should have l Something else too. We must get away from j the idea that farms are for certain money crops ! and nothing else. t : * THE “HIT-AND-RUN” COWARD. I . To the lingo of the diamond we have gone to get an expression to describe the motorist; : who and drives on- He is called the *liit*and*iun” -specie and by the America!* I AytomohUe Association is chvacteri?ed as a | “coward.” The association wants iff organ- I i?*d campaign by wbtoK'stS against the of lawlessness‘and cowardice” that | hits and runs- ‘ S A If There should be a campaign all right but l wjjo is going to conduct it? It is commend able to censure anil condemn the man who find drives on but will the average mo |otist ttajkej eniiujah intferjsit; in the matter to We have drunken driv ers by the scores but it’s a rare thing that they 11 that drives an auto is a violator of the law", - more or less, and hesitates about having any other motorist arrested. About the only time • the average motorist troubles about having s the law enforced is when he has been made the victim of some violation. ‘ No one is more contemptiljle or more to be censured than the man who strikes with his - auto and hurries on, showing both utter con tempt for the law and humanity. In the news papers several days ago we read where ape ; destrian in eastern North Carolina was struck and killed by an auto whose driver did not \ stop despite the fact that his car dragged the victinv’s body some little distance. There should be some special punishment |i for such a man. There .is none under the law k we presume for the law puts the man who 1 stops and the man who drives on on the same ( footing, but there should be a difference. In many instances the man who stops is not I' wholly ‘to blame for the accident but it is safe 'to presume that the man who fears to stop knows that he was in the wrong. That’s one : of the results of law violation. We lose our standard of decency when we take the law into our own hands. We should get these hit-and-run people into courts and from there they should go to the efiain gang. In too many instances drunken drivers are not punished, and with these who hit and keep going it is much the same, in the rare instances where they are caught. PERSON TO FIGHT AtONE. Colonel \Y. Person did not find things as easy when he struck the cooperative cotton as sociation and he has had to start all over again. Some months ago he started the pro eedings which wrecked the cooperative to bacco association and several days ago started 1 drive against the cotton association. His first move failed and now we find him in the fight alone. ft is charged that Mr. Person approached -evcral Nash county farmers and asked or suggested that they become plaintiffs against ‘he co-ops. Four of them signed the petition later asked that they be allowed to get out ’aiming they had signed under misapprehen ion or.without full understanding of what hey were doing. They went before the Nash deik of court 5 a'ntAwithdrew from the suit, eaving Mr. Person a case without clients. Now comes the Colonel with the announce ment that he will name himself as plaintiff and fight the case. The result will be noted with keen interest, for the welfare of the association s a matter of much concern throughout the state. Colonel Person has always opposed he co-operative marketing plan and some rave suggested that lie has allowed this feeling ‘o dominate his judgement. Anyway Tie may fie counted on to bring to light certain charges and the public will have opportunity to deter mine whether they are true. The co-ops may mierge stronger than they were when the suit was started. WISECRACKS. | An Arcadia woman fed her baby daughter sausage so ] the could weiner.—Fostoria.' Ohio, Times.

Winston-Salem Sentinel. fi Tile forces of law and order have reached their nadir in Herrin, county seat of "bloody Williamson," and scene of tnass murders, private feuds, and municipal neompeteude. The better citizens of this southern ll ittofs town have tried everything from the Ku Klux Sinn to an itinerant evangelist. Nothing has worked .ay permanent good. The law still stands’ a joke. A tate of warfare exists between opposing clans that f would do honor to a gold diggings in the tift-ies. To Governor Leu Small, the mayor of Herrin writes is follows : ‘The gangs have reached such proportions that no sheriff refcnrdless of his efforts, can relieve the situa tion. The proscoutipn of outlaws is impossible because to citizen will risk his life to bear wi’tnbss against the hugs and no prosecutor could live who would attempt :o fulfill the oath of his office." Governor Small reads, ponders, and washes his bands >f the whole business. He will not set up the military court asked tdr by the lhayor. This is a jjoverntheut of, by, and for the people, suys the Governor. If the peo ple. of Herriu want the laws enforced, it ! s up to them. Here matters at and and will probably stand until ■ome grave outbreak in Williamson county arouses the nation again and sets in motion federal machinery of jus tice. t, , In the meantime other comtnunitks, battling aga'nst ; organized erhtne in ’their midst, can find in Herrin’s woes the evil fruitage of complkcenc/'in the face of law : id sen ess, There Was a tithe whth Herrin could have attended to fte pwh proWewe, J&JW.

Recent announcements in the press of the intentions of the o Side's of 1 the Piedmont and Northern Railway , Company to extend the lines of the electric railway a distance of ap proximately 2000 miles, mast 01 which will be in the State of North Carolina, one of the biggest items in some time of the stuady march of the State iu its develop ment According to the dispatches, ur new trackage in North Carolina will amount to around 131) miles between ('harlot tc and Durham. Estimates place the sum to be involved iu the great undertaking in the ncighbor ho:xl of 13 to 20 million do’lars, al though there have been no official figures quoted by the executives. Southward from Gastonia, the line is to be built into Spartanburg, wak fug continuous route eventually from Durham to Greenwood. S. 0., the news articles state. Such an undertaking is worthy of the progress of the State, and th listriet it wifi trn-nsver.se. It in but a harbinger of some of the grant do-1 velopmcuts that are to take place in r the future: of the giant strides being j made in an empire of industry and of j ‘he unmistakable confidence of big fi- | nancial interests that the t' robbing ! nu'se of industry is ever pushing ! forward to ereaate new demands. | History will, no doubt, repent it self in bringing a renewed vigor of expansion to these t-oinni unitiiy; *hrough which the new lines wi.l run.

IN THE INTEREST OF FAIR PLAY Mexican Consul Protests Against At tempt of Liberty Magazine to De ceive. New York. Nov. .TO—ln the tnter sts of fair p'ay to the people of lexico, I wish to submit to all edi -1 vs iii North America the enclosed exhibits. One is a photograph of page 33 of he issue of the weekly magazine Liberty." You will notice a pic ure printed thereon purporting to be that of "Catholics withdrawing de posits from the Bank of Mexico iu protest against the seizure of church property." The other exhibit is a copy of the picture taken in front of t6c Bank of Mexico on its opening September 1. ".123, eleven months before the at tempted boycott. The pictures are the same. In reality, in place of being a picture as claimed by "Liberty" of persons tak ing funds out of the Bank of Mexico, it is a picture of persons waiting to nut funds in the new bank after t had been officially declared opeu by President Cal’es. who wis government iflieiu's was present within. It is not my purpose to enter into any criticism of the series of articles on Mexico iu “Liberty." The ‘con sents of these are their business, not mine. It is my business, however, ■uid the business of every editor who cherishes the ethics of his profession to protest against such a iborate attempt to deceive the public of North j Electric Refrigeration Is a Year Round Necessity I BET OUR OFF SEASON PRICES WHICH ARE LOWER THAIN ALL COMPETITORS | . : J.Y.

On the 2nd of September, IOC."), the morning of the day foljmving the opening of the Bank of Mexico, “El Democrats", a paper then publishing in Mexico City, published the same picture of the inauguration of the new bank that “Liberty", fie maga zine oWned by t'ie Chicago Tribune I ricked a portion of the American public into be.ieving was a picture i of something entire'} 1 different. It may interest the editors of North America to know this was not the only “faked"’ picture in these ar ticles. A United States engineer operating mines in Mexico. E. It. Torg'er, of Cleveland, Ohio, had li let ter in tiie New York Tipies of No vember 14fa, charging that a picture which “Liberty" (- aimed depicted the hanging of peons in Na.varit as a re sult of a religious riot was in reality a hanging of bandits two years be fore and that lie hud bad in this pos session for over a year the identical photograph that “Liberty" had claimed was a picture of a recent happening. As fae consul-general of Aicxico, I take the only means open to me to reach the people of this country ill an attempt to expose such sinister.: methods to place Mexico in a fulse light before the great American peo ple. And 1 know that the vast ma jority of editors will resent this out rageous violation of fair play as strongly as myself. Yours sincerely, AKTI'BO M. ELIAS, Consul General of Mexico.
