Fire Insurance Life Insurance PRICES OF CROPS The price of tobacco continues to ad vance, and the fanners are corresponding ly happy. It looks now as if the average of the markets over the state will run above thirty cents,, ane thirty cents is not any longer considered a high figure on the Moore county markets as much tobacco brings a great deal more. Fifty cents for a load does not excite anybody. Tobacco men say this is the best season except two years ago since the civil war. Cotton is not holding its own. It is two or three cents below the high notch on the bulge of a month ago, selling most of last week below eighteen cents. Some of the authorities say this is caused by the unusual influx of a great amount of lint which is customary at this time of the year, as the farmers bring the seed cotton to be ginned as soon as it is picked, and much of it is offered for sale right then. Conditions in Europe appear to be im proving. and exports of cotton are better than a year ago. The mills in this coun try are also taking more cotton. This in dicates a better price later in the year unless the mills have a supply on hand to carry them over a long peri^. Other farm crops are extravagantly high this fall. Poultry and eggs are bringing good prices and butter is holding up well, but meat products are off and grain is low. Sweet potatoes are doing right well at about $1.50 a bushel. Fall vegetables and garden stuff are a short crop.

Draw a line from Vass to Southern Pines, another from Southern Pines to Pinehurst, another from Pinehurst to Vass, and you inclose an area that contains the two great peach ridges of this section. McDees creek splits these two ridges and gives unlimited drainage. The Seaboard Air line road gives the one perfect raih-oad outlet for the fruit. At each end of the triangle is a dominating town of the communi ty, Vass, Southern Pines and Pinehurst. All the natural features for a successful orchard development are there. All the transportation facilities. All the spcial facilities, schools, churches, stores, banks, population. Two state highways wUl penetrate the territory. Already the one ridge is a succession of orchards. The Edgemoore Heights ridge is ideal for peaches, ideal for homes, and the price is so cheap it is not worth considering.
