TO Page Fivtf Of Moore and Adjacent Counties The Page Trust Company Has a Proposition to Submit to You This section has much land that is not as intensively in use as it should be, and chiefly for want of capable farmers to care for it. Here is a territory that makes one of the best types of bright tobacco in the world, but our crop is rela tively small because not enough acre- ag-e is tilled. We need more farm ers on the land. The farmers from Yadkin, Surrey, Granville, Wilson, and other coun ties who have come to this section have made pronounced successes with tobacco. Other farmers back from whence they came can do as well if they are found and fitted to some Sandhill land. . The Page Trust company will try to interest farmers on a renting basis if the farmers here will provide the land to offer them. It is believed that to arrange farms on a renting basis to start with is the wise course, for the main thing needed here is cap able new farmers who will make our lands produce a profitable crop. If these men want to buy lands after they have tried out the soil and the community that will be taken care of in its profitable time. But what is contemplated now is placing as many farmers as possible on land that they can rent, and demonstrate the success of their efforts in this community. Possibly some farmers may want to buy farms. We will be glad to know where suitable farms may be had if such prospects should be dis covered. But the hope now is that a number of good farmers from the other tobacco sections may be attract ed here by such inducements as the Sandhills can offer, and that next year the tobacco crop may be made much larger than it has ever been. We want to hear from everybody who will do anything to help this movement along. This is a soil and climate that makes a high type of leaf, and the demand for our type of tobacco seems to be growing more active every year. But we need a large numbr of new farmers to make the crop, and they will need our best inducements to jmove them here. ! Go into detail as to what you have , and what you can do, and let us hear from you. This tobacco belt should make ten times the size of crop it 1 does, and the thing can be put across I if we will join together and give it I the right kind of a push. I What we want now is to know i where to find the farms on which to ! put the new farmers. We propose to try to find the farm- i ers if we find the farms.
