STRONG MEN BUY
INTO PEACH WORLD
(Continued from page 1)
the South. Because the peach in
dustry seems to have positive pros
pects if rightly handled. Mr. Milbank
and Mr. Case have joined some others
and formed the Southern Peach
company. Ralph Page is president,
E. Townley Latting, secretary, Walter
I. Case vice-president, with $200,000
stock subscribed, and already a big
proportion of this has been paid in.
A total of 1,000 acres has oeen
bought. The expectation is that this
year the crop will be good and profit
able. The argrument is that the future
looks attractive if sound management
is followed, and it is assured that the
peach if productive has been reached,
for old orchards are dropping out,
probably as fast or though faster than
new one are coming in, and it is now
established that to raise and maintain
an orchard means work.
The field operators of the new
concern will be Jesse Page, Howard
Harrison and Chan Page.
An estimate as to the crop this sum
mer announces that Georgia will have
about 8 to 10 thousand cars of good
fruit as against 13 thousand cars of
bad stuff. Arkansas, Missouri and
Indiana will be down in their yield.
Virginia will be hit hard. It looks as
if not our two-thirds of last year’s
crop will go to market this year, and
the buying power of the country seems
to be mxich brighter than a year ago,
so the outlook is good.
But the crop is faced by a larger
number of worms this year and the
curculio is extremely prevalent. Or
chards must work to the limit to pre
vent a wormy crop or we face one of
the worst we ever had. But if spray
ing is attended as it should be and all
drops carefully picked up a clean fruit
can be expected, with good markets
and good prices.
The coming of Milbank and Case
into the field introduces a wholly new
element, that of men who are inter
ested on the broad basis of develop
ment of a section of the South, and
with the understanding that it has to
be done on the soundest business basis,
and with costs held down and hard
work made a factor in production
rather than the dream of high prices
velvet and easy money.

merchants to limit costs to buyers,
nor other callings to prevent the
things on which they thrive. But the
doctor tries to keep the people well.
Dr. Carson, of Winston-Salem told
of the doctor in the big war, and Dr.
Barrows, of High Point, spoke of the
hospital work of the state. He says
87 hospitals last year cared for 52,-
460 cases. A few years ago the state
was without hospitals. Now it is
fairly well provided, but still needs
more. The generosity of M(r. Duke
has made it possible for a great ad
vance to be made in hospital work,
but the medical profession which is
carrying the burden of most of the
hospital work still needs further sub
stantial backing that hospitals may be
available for a much greater number
of cases than can be cared for yet.
The club has scheduled a game of
base ball by members of the organi
zation. It will be played on Saturday
at Southern Pines, for an admission
fee of 25 cents, the money to go to
the educational fund. As the old war
horses of base ball back in the days
when Southern Pines and Aberdeen
and the other towns mopped up the
sand with each other will be resur
rected for the occasion the affair is
regarded as second to the big show
of last week in point of interest for
the spring season. It is said that
when some of the old birds stretch
themselves the show will be exhiler-
ating.
Week after next the Women are to
have a date at the Kiwanis meeting,
at the Pinehurst Country club.

bridge for the railroad will arrive be

down on the new grade that the rail
road may be shifted to help with this
construction and building work. Mr.
Deaton has made comprehensive plans
for the whole job in the neighborhood
of the bridge and station, including
freight station with the rest, and the
Y switch, for turning cars and engines
and handling the Pinehurst traffic.
With the building of this work and
the paving of the highway and the oil

be materially changed in that part of
Pinehurst during the summer.

Francis Deaton is at work on the
site for the new railroad passenger
and freight station at Pinehurst. The
location is near the new overpass of
the railroad above the highway going

club. Mr. Deacon has the plans drawn
for the location, and is getting the
work outlined on the ground, and work
will begin soon on the structures.
The passenger station will be of ample
size to care for the growing business
of Pinehurst, and the approaches and

It is About Nitrate
of Soda Time
We have had to order in a feew
more cars of fertilizer, for always
some find a little more is needed, and
we will probably have enough for all
calls, but the main thing in fertilizer
now is Nitrate of Soda. We have an
ample supply and a lot of it is engaged
to be shipped as fast as we call for
it. Leave orders at either store.
Soja Bean Seed
The extended use of Nitrate of Soda
is said to have affected the production
of cow peas as they used to be made.
At any rate the cow pea is not what
it was some years ago. But it has
been supplanted in many places by the
Soja Bean. Here is a crop that makes
better hay, and is equally as good to
reclaim and improve the soil. We
have the hard shell varieties that
make the best type of hay and that
can be handled most easily on the
farm. The Soja Bean is worth a much
closer acquaintance by the farmer.
A Checker-Board
Feed Story
The business of the Little River
stores is to sell goods and make money
for the stockholders. But we have
a notion that to make money the way
we want to do it means to benefit the
people who buy from us as well as to
benefit the Little River company. To
sell some little thing and have a few
cents margin, and then sell some other
little thing for another few cents is
not our idea of business. It is too
much work, too little benefit to us or
the buyer and gets neither of us any
where.
thing these folks did was to find out
what feed really does to an animal.
Then they found how to provide the
best combination to get the desired
results. Then they built big mills to
make the stuff. Then they made a
contract with us to sell it in our
territory. When we were satisfied
that it was the real values we bought
it freely. Our customers are buying
it and finding it worth the money.
We are building up a trade in it for
it is decidedly good stuff.
Chicken Checker Board
You know what Checker-Board has
been doing with the chicken business.
Watch the

There is a product that is made to
give results to the folks who use it.
It is the work of chemists, anato
mists, physiologists, biologistst, manu
facturers and many others. The first
So we are selling checker-board
feed. And we mean to sell it for
years. We aim to build a business
that will sell itself. We want to sell
something that will bring folks back
to buy more of it time after time.
We want to sell good goods. And
Checker-Board is so good that we
sell it with the assurance that when
any other product gives better re
sults we give you back your money.
One pound a day they get of
Checker-Board, and it is weighed, not
guessed. Pig Chow will do for pigs
what chicken feed has been doing for
chickens. It. gives the pig an appe
tite, and it will make a puny pig call
for vittles like a hungry boarder.
Pig Chow will put health into the
pigs and they will eat the stuff around
the place and convert it into meat for
you. Pig Chow is a feed and a stimu
lus.
Watch the
White Pigrs Grow
Then when you are satisfied we
want to sell you some of the stuff
that is making them grow. And we
have Checker-Board for the cow, the
mules, and all the stock.
