Editor of The Daily News: If Henry Ford occupied the same relative position in the tobacco and 5 cotton manufacturing industries in 5 the south that he does in the automo- ( bile manufacturing industry in the ( north, good chewing tobacco couid be ? bought for 30 cents a pound and c cigars, cigarettes, snuff and smoking' f tobacco at proportionately reduced rates; and a fair grade of cotton s cloth, moreover, would cost not over 3 three cents a yard, while other cotton r goods would show a like reduction. t And since virtually every person in t t^e south either uses tobacco in some form or other or hat use for Cottoil n goods of some kind, the idea of hav- a ing Ford apply his automobile-male n ing methods to their manufacture r takes instant hold; for the saving to v each individual chewer, smoker or e dipper would amount to several cents ? each day, to say nothing of the fam- ? ily's saving on cotton goods, j "Ah, how unfortunate," yoif CX-. * claim, "that the south hasn't a few ? Henry Fords!" Unfortunate, did you o say? Yea, you said so but you spoke o before you thought. What you ought I to do is to thank God that Henry Ford started making motur curs at -? Detroit instead of cotton cloth at t Gastonia or plug tobacco at Winston- a Salem. t For the methods Ford uses in ob- F tabling the raw material which goes into the manufacture of his cars, if r applied with equal force by the man- y ufacturers of "cotton and tobacco, 1 would bankrupti tlie whole south and practica!!." Blake slaves of the grow- 9 ers of the two cfSftlOOiHfjfitt And here * is the reason. Ford positively Will hot 3 pay the producers of raw material a " profit. The farmer would be helpless and he would not hesitate to take advantage of him. If producers of raw mate rial will not sell- at Ford's' price he produces the raw material himself. What farmer could compete with J Ford at growing tobacco? In fact. Ford's enormous wealth is 0 due in part to his beating down the prices of raw material while holding j ^ uh the price of his manufactured pro- j j duct. Furthermore, in audition 10 oeing the world's richest man. Ford is j the world's stingest rich man. He ' gives away absolutely nothing. More- ^ over, he could daubtless qualify as, t the world's greatest profiteer. If you j ^ doubt this last statement ask any j j good judge of motor car values if the j R Ford car, manufacturing and first' sell- j r ing costs considered, isn't the highest . priced automobile on the market, i More. How. did Ford get to be tho< richest man in the world if he hasn't [ made big profits? Nothing said here will detract, cr!r is intended to detract, from Mr. j, d's ability as a manufacturer. His : f sneaks for itself. But even' y ucc-eM -,e<) silent, his cars on't f Wot feiWs^ '-'ghway would get' r very ^ mobiles may;0 he world f-iltf. For./Htv..

It is not likely that to he owner of such a head has had c? nuch time for serious constructive n< hought on other matters. I Ihdeed, in the case of Mr. Ford this s ptWed conclusively to be so by the 'eacC ship fiasco, which was born of i rood impulse, but ended in making ts inceptor ridiculous.

Statesville, N. C? August 30. Rev. J. N. Brinkley of Iredell County in addition to-looking after the spirit ual welfare of his community is also 9 proving to be a farsighted teacher of 1 improved farming methods, according r to report 'by R. \V. Graeber, Coamty 9 Farm Agent for the State College . Extension Division in this county. - Extension workers agree that more 9 fertile soila is one great need in North 1 Carolina and the use of lime and t legumes in building up the soil ia being strenuously advocated at this period of the year when clovers should be prepared for or planted. "Rev. Brinkley began keeping accounts with a two acre piece of land on his farm in 1919," says Mr. Grae | ber. "His demonstration wins with - wheat and daring the oeriod from 1919 until tit* present he has built - up his yields from four bushels puracre to 87% bushels by usiny soil? 1, .i?vroTini metSAds. This b an mI crease of 844 per cent in crop yield l*nd it worthy of careful considers1 tion." t In 1919, with a wheat yieH of four - bushels 'per acre,-Rev. ?Briplcley stedf cd the land to cowpeaf, turned them i under an dreseeded the land to wheat. In 1920,- wheat yield was ten bosfa0 els per acre largely on account of the 1 exceptionally good year for wheat in : the county. This spring red clover was' seeded over the wheat. In 1921, the first crop of red clover -i was cut for hay and second turned s | under for soil improvement. Land j was needed to wheat in fall of 1921. J In 1922, red clover was again seeil ed over wheat. The yield secured was 0 1514 bushels per acre and this was r a poor wheat year. i,i In 1923, the flrat crop of red clover 1 was cut for hay and second turned s under and field again seeded to wheat. In 1924, this year, a yield of 37% - j bushels per acre of grain was secured t and it is estimated that at least three f, bushels per acre vra? lost by sprout ing from the cap sheaf. o Miss Ethel, Evans left last Friday morning for Watts Hospital where she underwent an operation for apj pendicitis.
