It is merely a story of ambition and
it is addressed to the rich and poor
alike. If you have health, intelli
gence and ambition, one could not
fail on an Eastern North Carolina
farm. Those characteristics coupled
with complimentary soil and climate
means success.
Why shouldn't the city man succeed
on a farm? He succeeds in avoca
tions just as intricate, just as diffi
cult, and overcomes serious advan
tages if he succeeds at all. Farming
is not a mysterious business; on the
contrary, it is one of the broadest and
most promising fields for absorbing
human brains and energy, v , ;
The energetic and ambitious : former
wort comes high in cost anywhere and
is only a privilege of . the rich, m tnis
or any other country. On the other
hand Eastern North Carolina along
the Atlantic Coast Line is a veritable
poor man's Eden, for in no place on
earth can a poor man live so cheaply
and with thrift and industry get
ahead so rapidly as here.
If it were not possiole to raise more
than one crop on the same land each
year, (and two or1 more crops are al
ways raised, except cereals), that
crop can be raised in the late fall or
oorwnrine. with the entire United
States as a market with practically
little competition, especially in staple
products.
