MARION W. WALL, County Agent
Temporary Change
For the next few months office days
will be Saturdays and first Mondays
in Carthage and headquarters will be
at Pinehurst. We find this absolute
ly necessary in order to put over cer
tain work, which will be essential in
the County.
W. A. Clark Believes in Pure Bred
Poultry
The other day Mr. W. A. Clark of
Jackson Springs, was a caller in the
office and gave this report:
“One day last fall I took a load of
chickens over to Pinehurst and in this
load I had 18 that were just the or
dinary run of stock on the farm. These
brought me 35c per pound and in the
same lot I had ten high grade Buff
Orpingtons and sold these at the
same time; they brought 40c per
pound. This was a difference of sever
al dollars in just one little shipment
of chickens and I realized $53.41 from
the lot.”
This is an excellent example of
what a standard breed of poultry will
do. This is evidence enough that it
will pay us all to cull the flock and
raise the better breed of poultry.
Efficiency
A few weeks ago I was called to
Mr. Alex McPherson’s farm near
Cameron. Mr. McPherson was anx
ious to build a few terraces before he
set his tobacco. At eleven o’clock
we “set up” and laid out 500 feet of
terraces and one hour later we had
250 feet of these terraces built.
It took a farm level, the County
Agent, and Mr. McPherson to lay out
the work and it took a two-horse plow,
two mules and a farm hand to throw
up the terrace, and took a Martin
Ditcher, three mules and two farm
hands to finish the job. This only
goes to show how mXich time can be
saved and the work completed in a
short time by having the right kind
of implements and the idea to do a
thing right.
Ten Thousand Dollars Offered
The Chicago Board of Trade is of
fering ten thousand dollars in premi
ums for the grain and hay show which
will be held in Chicago on November
26th; we are wondering if there are
any farmers in Moore County who
would like to send them an exhibit?
Remember what Charlie Picquet says,
“There is nothing too big to undertake
if you go at it right.”
Some citizens say they can tell how
their garden is progressing by watch
ing their neighbor’s chickens fatten
ing up.
LET’S SURPRISE THEM
We are in shape to make some of
your friends, and former residents of
Vass happy, if you want to co-oper-
ate with us a little. Every week we
have a few copies of The Pilot left
over. Away off in some far section
of the country you have an acquaint
ance who would be glad to get one of
them. To them it would be just like
a long letter from home. You have
their address, and we have the paper,
so let’s get together and give them
a little treat. You hand us the names
and addresses of your friends in other
states, or in other sections of this
state—those who formerly lived in
this community—and we will mail
them an occasional sample copy. We
will pay the postage. All we ask of
you is to furnish us the addresses,
one or a dozen or more. It will take
but a moment of your time to do this,
and if you ever longed for a copy of
your old home paper—and then got
it—you already understand just how
your friends will feel. Bring' us or
mail us the names at once, and if they
are not already on our list we’ll see
that they get a few copies of the pa
per from their old home town.
