Court is going on in Raeford this week, a very small court calendar for this terij, so the Hoke Journal snvs. News is very scarce in Upper Hoke these days and we hardly know what to try to tell The Pilot readers. The weather is ideal, and makes folks feel like it’s getting about time to begin farming again, though we don’t see or hear a great deal about farming; it seems that the farmers are somewhat at a loss to know what to try this year, for the best. I feel sure from what I’ve heard talked among the majority of the farmers that unless fertilizer prices are much better than last year that the cotton and tobacco acreage will be cut almost one^half, and in some instances no tobacco and probably not a great deal of cot ton will be planted at all, and more attention will be given to grain, for age, livestock, etc. How many of the farmers ever actually figured out what it costs to produce a bale of cotton with fer tilizers where they now are. Take it for granted that a bale of cotton will bring 875.00 on the market about today’s prices for No. 1 cotton, it costs $1.25 per hundred or $17.50 per bale to pick it, it costs $5.00 to haul it to the gin, it costs $5.50 to get it ginned, seed for planting costs, we will say $2.00, this leaves you $45.0G on a bale ’of cotton. Now the guano comes in and to produce a bale of cotton on the average, it will take a half to two-thirds of a ton of of 8-3-3 guano to produce this which will take the rest of the $45.00, time you get it home over a muddy road, 8 to 12 miles from town. Now where is your profit coming in. Better fig ure on this boys before you jump in too deep this year. Among the Raeford visitors from Upper Hoke on last Saturday were Mr. Archie McGill and sister. Miss Flora, Miss Lena Steel the Mount Pleasant teacher and Miss Mamit McGill, the Hopewell teacher, at tended thr regular teacher's meet- 'i)g. Mr. G. G. Hart is erecting a nice new bugalow on Route 2. Mr. J. W. Smith is also on the building list, he lias built an addi tion to his home. Mr. W. G. Hart's little girl is quite sick, but is improving, so wd learn this evening. The town of Vass is dressing up her streets we see, and while they are somewhat muddy they will be fine this summer, and if Hoke would do it’s roads the same way it would he a good idea. Best wishes to all Pilot readers. S. R. C.
