Friday, March 29, 1929. THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Vass, North Carolina Continued Expansion of Textile Industry Shuwn South. Gains.. Despite.. General Slowing up of Production in County in 1928 Continued expansion of the textile :i;dustry in .he South, despite a gen ual slowing- up of production during- 11-28. is shown by the 1929 edition of the T.^xtile Directory, just issued by the Southern Railway System. There are now 18,615,284 spind- It'Z in cotton mills in the cotton-pro- dusing stales, as compared with 16,- 648,762 spindles in other states. Snice 1922 there has been a net d.- crtase of 4,364,632 spindles in the mills outside of the South, as com pared with a net increase of 2,44:),- SliT spindles in the South, in the same period. About 75 p.rcent of all >t the spindles in the South are a: jroints served directly by the South- ein. The decrease in mill activity in 192S was principally outside of the South. During: that year southern mills con sumed .5,000,439 bales of cotton, or 76.04 peivent of the total consump tion in the United States, while the nills of all other states took only 1.575,246 bales, or 23.96 per cent of the cotton consumed. While this was partly accounted for by the fact that the average weight of goods in other siates is less than in the South, the principal reason for the lower con sumption outside of the South was that many of the mills were shut 4own or running on short time. This is shown by the fact that, while southern mills with 18,615,284 spin dles in place, operated 64,177,988,410 .spindle hours, the mills in other states, with 16,648,762 spindles in place, operated 28,565,971,677 spindle ht urs. In other words, southern mills with 52.76 per cent of the spindles, worked 69.2 per cent of the total spin dle in that year. The directory calls attention to the fact that the growth of the textile in dustry in the South in the past has been chiefly in cotton goods, that pres ent indications point to continued de velopment in these lines, accompan ied by a more rapid growth in other branches of the industry, including the manufacture of all kinds of woven and knit silk goods. There are also indication of some growth in woolen and w'orsted manufacturin?r in the ten*itory. ROBINSON STABLES UNDER WAY ON BETHESDA ROAD NOW YOU TELL ONE This story comes out of Kinston. A hound dog owned by Ed Kose, prominent Jones County buisiness man and farmer, treed two roe shad. Rose had the shad for dinner. Kirby Tyndall, undertaker here, vouched for the incident. He said .here were other witnesses. The dog discovered the shad near the surface at the side of Trent river. Rose heard it yelping and in vestigated. He found the animal following the shad, which were in ■shallow water, up the stream. The shad came to a pocket in the bank. They swam into it. The dog leaped into the river and “treed” perfectly, according to Tyndall. Rose fished them out with his hands. One of the shad was of unusual size.

UNSUCCESSFUL FARMER HAS HIMSELF ALONE TO BLAME In an article, “Why Pity the Far mer?” upblished by the Texas Com mercial News for March, Mike H. Thomas is quoted in part as follows: “Every farmer has both the oppor tunity and the time to produce a good living and his feed at home, and if he does not the blame is his own. I have pleaded with the far mer for thirty-five years to live at heme and never to come to tow'n with out bringing more to sell than ne comes to buy, thus making his cot ton crop a surplus cash crop which he is not forced to sell at a disad vantage, and enabling him to use the proceeds for luxuries, improvemenis and investments. “Now', if the Southern farmer is not satisfied with the price of cot ton, all he has to do is to reduce his acreage and, as he controls the price by his production, it will bring him happiness and prosperity. In 1926 his overproduction put cotton to ten cents; in 1927 and 1928 Moderate crops pu: cotton above twenty cent^. Cotton does not deteriorate rapidly, and if the farmer produces more than the world needs the new crop will meet the tail end of .he old crop. From this time on 1 am going to take the position that the farmer is pe*'- fectly satisfied with the price, or hf would not over-plant. Never again will I advise friends, customers, spin ners or merchant to buy cotton unless the producer believes in it himself and plants and holds accordingly. During my 43 years in the cotton business the farmer has sold all or part of each crop below' the cost of production. That has been done for tw'o reasons, overproduction and mar keting tw'elve months supply in three months, thus forcing the world to carry his own child and then com plaining because the world wants to be paid for it. (Special to The Pilot) Such peach growers who were troubled with the curculio or wormy fruit last season should make the first summer treatment of spray or dust just after the petals, fall says State Entomologist R. W. Leiby of the Department of Agriculture. Where the curculio has not been severely in jurious, the peach grower may skip the usual first treatment, says Dr. Leiby, but he should be sure to maka a thorough treatment jut after the shucks are shed. The petal fall spray consists of one pound of lead arsenate and five pounds of powdered' lime suspended in each 50 gallons of water. The shuck spray contains the same materials in the same proportions, says Dr. Leiby. The third spray is made two weeks after the shuck spray and con sists of the dry-mix sulphur lime, twelve and one-half pounds to 50 gal lons with one pounds of lead arse nate, on the selif-boiled lime sulphur, 8-8-50, with one pound of lead arse nate, or the self-boiled lime sulphur, the same as the third but is applied about four weeks before the late va rieties ripen. There are strong indications that the adult curculio have survived the winter in large numbers, says Dr. Leiby. He thinks that the winter has b( en rather mild, in that there were no prolonged very cold spells nor any sudden changes from a w^arm spell to cold lemperatures. The way to ascer tain the curculio population in an orchard, he says, is to place a white canvas or sheet under the trees, and then to jar th? limbs. If this is done early in the morning, the curculios will fall to the sheets when the trees are jarred where they may be counted and destroyed. Dr. Leiby advises that Mr. I. A. Harris of the entomology division of the Department of Agriculture will be located in Abeixieen during April and May where he may be consulted on peach insects and ihe enemies of other crops.

Come into our store, and ask this question, man to man: “Why should I buy your tire?” You won’t need to ask another. All we want, whether you buy or not, is an op portunity to explain why the Goodyear is called The World’s Greatest Tire. Here’s Why: 1 Itf, sturdy carcass is made of Supertwist, which means fewer t fabric failures and less tire changes on the road. 2 Its new design of tread gives the best traction and car con trol ever afforded by ai’-tor-'obllo t^rc. 3 Its tenacious agility to grip the road gives the greatest possi ble degree of safety. 4 Increased area of road contact and added All-Weather blocks insure Slow, even tread wear and gi’eater satisfaction to the user. 5 Quietness and smooth running are also made certain by the new design of tread. 6 This new Goodyear is admittedly the World’s Most Beautiful Tire. The best proof of all this is the tire itself. Come in today and see this masterpiece, the Goodyeiar All-Weather Balloon »v- f^l {tt- ■> Max Filling Station Parol and Woco-Pep Gas, Tiolene Oil, Washings and Greasing, Auto Supplies and Accessorise.
