I I’ I' 'I i ■ il : I'*®- 1 i: I I ■ “si :| THE WEEKLY PILOT Published every Friday morning by the Pilot Printing Company. , STACY BREWER, Manager Entered at the Postoffice at Vass, N. C., as second-class mail matter FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1922 THE DEWBERRY CROP The dewberry crop is looking well, and will give a liberal yield to the farmers who are making it. It is too soon to make a haz ard of the prices, but as the fruit goes in when nothing else of its kind is to be obtained it is reasonable to look for good re turns. More dewberries ought to be sprinkled over this section, not necessarily in big acreapres, but every farm should have one or more acres to provide a cash in come at this season of the ye&r, which would come from the work of the family without en tailing a cost for much help. One trouble with us in North Caro lina is that we cultivate too many acres to get the number of dollars we realize. If we can cut out some of the long walks up and down the rows and get more dollars from a short row than we get now from a long row we will be making easier progress. It is useless to plant dewber ries and expect to make a crop by neglecting them, for no crop will pay if it is not worked and crowded to its limit. But the dewberry will come as near standing neglect as anything, although it is not to any man's credit or profit that such a char acteristic should appear to him any recommendation. The plants must be cut back in the fall and fertilized. Then they will take care of themselves until winter. In the spring they must be cul tivated and tied up, and worked whenever they can be benefitted by working. After the crop is made it must be picked when it is ready, not when the farmer is ready. But this is no more than any crop that is worth while asks. And the dewberry as a rule brings better returns for actual work on it than most of the other crops raised in this section. It would be a mighty good thing for the Vass community if more farmers would this sum mer arrange for a dewberry patch, big or little, as they can handle it, and certainly no big ger than can be cared for right. The result would be that by early summer a much greater amount of money would be com ing this way, and clean money at that, for raising dewberries is by no means disagreeable work. And along with the money the dewberry brings to the farmer who has a crop to ship the fruit is so excellent for home use that it pays to raise some of them for that alone if for nothing else. DID A GOOD BUSINESS W. A. Blue the other day re marked that the Aberdeen fac tory had done a good fertilizer business this year, and that the prospects for another successful run next winter are highly en couraging. The results from the goods from this local*factory last season were so gratifying to the farmers that they turned freely to Aberdeen for their sup ply for this summer's crop. During the season The Pilot did considerable advertising for the Blue Manufacturing Compd- ny, and it was the kind of ad vertising any paper likes to pre sent, for it was largely the ex perience of local farmers who used the products of the Moore county factory and found the re sults all that had been hoped for. This suits the farmer, and it suits the fertilizer* factory. But it goes still farther than that, for it tells that a local in dustry has found a field in which it can work to advantage, and it fortifies the institution that has sprung up in the county- That factory does something that is better than diversified farming, for it is diversified in dustry. More diversification of industry is what every county in the state needs, for if we can broaden the basis for our in dustrial operations instead of confining all of them to one or two lines we come nearer find ing ourselves on a footing that will carry through all situations The factoi^ at Aberdeen keeps more activity in motion a portion of the year than if we had no such* institution, and gives us a little more string to the com munity bow. With this in mind it is a good scheme, other things being equal, to stand by the fac tory that is a part of our in dustrial effort. It pays everj"- body to remember these things. THE NEW HIGHWAY As this is written it is not known which side of the railroad the new highway will run through Vass. But what is of considerable importance is sus pected, which is that the new road will be let to bidders proba bly in July. This is no official statement, but it is guessed out by the regular guessing machin ery of a well equipped newspaper office, and it is about as reliable as anything that does not know. It seems to be now accepted that the road from Vass to San ford will leave the present route at Cameron and go across a point near White Hill church and there join the state road running from Sanford to Carthage, which is to be given a hard surface at once from Sanford several miles out this way. That road is one of the best in the state now, and a great amount of traffic is shif ted from the older road to the new one, many people going by Carthage where formerly the travel was by Vass. There is no occasion for com plaint about it. The new roads are increasing the highway busi ness until it appears to be only a question of time when all of the routes will be as full as they can handle. Incidentally i n Southern Pines the people wise ly decided that the highway should follow the main business street, so it will go on the east side of the railroad, one square or perhaps two squares from the heart of the town, allowing the main streets for the local traffic which is now about as big as the streets can accomodate. THE COTTON PROSPECT As the cotton planting period has about reached the point where those who are not plant ing will not arrange for any fur ther planting it cannot be pre sumed that The Pilot is taking an optimistic tone as regards cotton in undertaking to influ ence any bigger acreage than the farmers have figured out. But if such should be attributed to the paper it can stand it. The growing impression that cotton is liable to be scarcer this fall than it was last fall is borne out by strong evidences. Last week’s report from Col. Hester, of New Orleans, a man who is probably more familiar with sta tistics of cotton than any one else living, indicates that at the present time we are using cot ton fully a fourth faster than last year, and that by the first of August the consumption of American cotton will be between two and three million bales more than last year. As the crop was not increased above the crop of the preceding year to any such an offsetting extent it is evi dent that the stock of lint on hand now is much below what it was a year ago, with little sign in sight of increasing it much this year. If Col Hester is correct the strengthening of the price of cotton that has been going on in the last few weeks is not yet at the end of its influence.
