Kenny McCrimmon Joins the
‘ILive-at-Home” Campaign
on His James Creek Farm
Kenny McCrimmon is a farmer
who came out from Piney Bottom
when the government took the land
in that section for Fort Bragg. He
located on James Creek just over
the Moore county line in McNeills
township, and cleared a new farm
and built a home. He has been
making cotton and other similar
crops, but this year he concluded
things to eat would be worth more
to him than cotton, so he is plant
ing wheat on his bottom lands,
where he has been making com,
sweet potatoes and similar de-
pendables for several years. This
fall he has a big field in which he
has been growing vetch, and fig
ures the ground will make wheat
fjpr him for next year. His boys
work the farm when it is neces
sary, and when they are not need
ed there they find employment else
where, and the McCrimmon home
is one of independence and a good
bunch of neighbors in a good com
munity.
By Bion H. Butler
This talking of living at home did
rot originate with Max Gardner.
Long before he had reached the foot
ball team at State College the pro- !
phets were calling on the people to ;
live at home, and even as far back as
1818 a cotton mill was built at the'
Falls of the Tar River, in Edge- j
comb county, and in 1837 Gov. Edwin j
M. Holt up on the Haw built the first
mill south of the Potomac to manu
facture colored cotton goods. In Ran-'
dolph, Montgomery, Cumberland and
other counties the cotton factories
sprung up, and North Carolina be- :
gan to live at home on a broader scale ;
than the old home-spun had made pos-!
sible, for a new day dawned. Unfor
tunately war created havoc and the
number of spindles in 1870 was much |
smaller than in 1890. War is a dead-
ener. But the revolution had com-,
menced, and now North Carolina has ]
more spindles than any other state :
of the Union.
So much for one branch of living at
home. North Carolina has more acres
producing tobacco than any other
st^te, is one of the great furniture
states of the country, and in other
ways is living savagel^\ at home.

And with it Moore county is living I ^iver country up to a rathor meal

The Vass Cotton Mill
Over in the Little River 'lection An
gus Cameron had been operating a
saw mill. When his timber vvas ex
hausted, with much courage and in
terest in his community h? built a
cotton mill, and while it is not as big
as a mountain, it has made of Vass
a prosperous, happy and progressive
neighborhood, with a school that is
the apotheosis of riches and knowledge
as compared with the schools that
existed in the county before the days
of the Vass Cotton Mill. Vass is a
thriving village, not big, not wealthy,
not to be compared with some of the
great industrial or educational cen
ters of the world. But Vass is incom
parably farther along than in the
days before A. Cameron built the Vass
Cotton Mill. Some day Vass should
build to Angus Cameron an imperish
able monument in memory of what
he has achieved there, and likewise
another one should be built to the eld-
€1 V/oody at High Falls, that the in
fluence' they exerted might be under-

By keeping a few simple records
through the past year, several good
farmers of Dajvad^on "County have
found that poultry pays them well.
The flocks were kept under average
farm conditions and proves the con
tention of agricultural extension
workers that no farm in North Car
olina should be without at least 100
hens of a standard breed.
*'0n November 1, 1929 four poultry-
men of this county decided they
would cooperate with me and keep ac
curate records on their poultry flocks
to determine just how much they
would make when poultry was cared
for as any other crop is looked after,”
writes C. A. Leonard, county agent of
Davidson County. “Each of the flocks
was housed, fed and handled according
to our recommendations. Two men
mixed their feeds at home according
to the college formula and the others
fed commercial mixtures. The records
of the returns from the eggs sold are
interesting.”
The four flocks produced 14,414.9
dozen eggs that sold for $4,768.87.
The total feed cost was $2,679.57
leaving a return above feed cost of
$2,089.30. The average number of
eggs produced a hen was 153.6. At the
beginning of the record keeping there
were 1,647 birds in the four flocks
and at the end of the test, one year la
ter^ there were only 602 birds. The
others were culled out becouse they
were found to be unprofitable.
Of the four growers, H. G. Early of!
the Mills Home near Thomasvillg re- j
ports a profit of $1,122.36 above feed
costs on his flock of white leghorns.
He also got a profit of $189,66 from
a small flock of Rhode Island Reds.
A small flock of white leghorns own
ed by H. A. Leonard of Lexington,
route 3, paid him $198.44 above feed
cost, and G. F. Johnson of Linwood.
route 2, made $477.18 profit above
feed cost with his flock of white leg
horns. The remaining grower, C. A.
Tranthan of Linwood, route 2, made
$131.62 from a small flock of Reds.

horse back riding, a full program of
equestrian specialities has been ar
ranged.
Lovers of good sport are assured
of an enjoyable afternoon at the Pine
hurst race track next Wednesday af
ternoon.
PUNCTUALITY
PROMPTNESS
PRECISION
Credit is a peculiar commodity.
We are constantly reminded that
overproduction is the caus'e of busi
ness depression. Undoubtedly it is;
one of the causes. But it is also one
of the effects, for, when more ma
terial is produced than is consumed
business must eventually slow down
until the surplus is used up, and the
slowing down of business decreases
consumption. That looks fairly sim
ple. *
But while credit is bought and sold
like other commodities, the demand
always keeps pace with the supply,
for w^hen- business is active the de
mand fot credit is keen and when it
is bad it is still keener. Notwithstaiid-
ing the fact that money is quoted at
2 percent in financial centers, there is
a pressing demand for credit by mer
chants, farmers, and in fact by nearly
everybody. Apparently, therefore,
w^hen the supply of credit increases
the demand increases and w'hen the
supply decreases the demand keeps
on increasing. That is not simple.
Credit is the paradox of business.

stood as Moore county grow.^ older
and more advanced.
And another might with proper fit
ness be built to John McQueen and
Capt. Cowgill at Hemp where the
growing silk mills was established
some years ago through their efforts..
John McQueen, alw^ay*: with the kind
liest consideration for all the people
of his bailiwick, has been foremost
in spreading ihe gospel of human
helpfulness, of schools, of opportunity
for men and women to be of greater
use to themselves an dto their com
munity, While much is said by the old
er folks of his father, long engaged in
pactoral and paternal herding of his
flock in this section, nothing that the
honored pastor of Union Church has
ever done reflects greater credit on
his name and work than to leave the
type of sons and daughters that bless
his name in this community. John Mc
Queen helped in the planting of the
silk mill at Hemp, and there the
folksare living at home, making silk
for themselves and to sell, and in
making the silk fabrics making their
community broader, and prosr.erous
and grogressive.
In the northern part of the county
Colin Spencer is carrying on one of
the biggest lumber industries of the
South, employing many hands, utiliz
ing the growing crops of pine timber,
paying money to farmers for their
trees, and to their surplus labor for
mill help and for their products of
field and garden. He is enabling many
to live at home and with comfort
and satisfaction. And the story could
be continued to great length.
Moore county is living at home,
and will live at home more and more
as the days go by, for here is a peo
ple of intelligence and faith and en
ergy, who are not walking about with
their eyes closed, nor with their am
bitions stifled, but who are working
out their destiny and making of their
county one of the most wonderful suc
cesses to be met in any county of the
state.
