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.

THE CONING PEACH
BELT
Take a map of Moore county. Mark off a triangle. 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.
No Other Location Offers so Much for so Little.
No Use to Talk Nuch About This. You Know it.
See the selling agents for price and location.
