Good Example of Live-at-Home
Farmer Found in Frank Cameron
Gets Nearer To Solution of Prob
lem Than Theorists Who Com
plain More Than They Farm
• ———
By Bion H. Butler
Out in the eastern comer of Moore
County, so close that he can go but
a short distance from home without:
landing in Hoke or Harnett counties,
lives Frank Cameron, who is a right
good example of a Moore county far
mer. His father before him was a suc
cessful farmer and gt5od neighbor,
and a pretty fair community of good
neighbors exists in that section. It is
a pleasant drive to slip out from
Vass, down toward Bei#ver Creek, and
there turn on the road toward Cam
eron, and a mile or two up that road
reach the Frank Cameron farm. The
surface of the country is broken suf
ficiently by the valleys to make an
interesting topography, while the
character of the soil encourages many
hard wood trees among the pines.
Possibly a little greater fertility of
land is found out in that section. At
any rate a thrift is apparent along

The folks have been depending on
themselves in the Beaver creek and
Crane’s creek country.
The Cameron farm embraces a fair
ly ’big acreage. It is cultivated in
clean manner. It tells that it is the
farm of a man who likes to look af
ter his possessions. And if you meet
the farmer in the field he emphasizes
that conviction. Frank Cameron is a
worker and a man who has confidence
in the results of his work. He has
a cordial stamp on his face and a
good nature in his salute. He has an
acquaintance with his farm and his
stock and his hands and the theories
of farming. He has held the old farm
in line since his father died some
years ago, and in spite of the condi
tions that have overtaken agricul
ture he has not been scared to
death.
father before him was a* leader. He is
a good example and a good influence,
and it is fellows like him who will
ultimately solve the farm problem,
for it has to be solved.

THE
friRIEAT
AtILANTIIC & PAOIFIIC to
Solving the Riddle
The farm problem is no joke and no
delusion. It is serious enough now to
justify the farmer’s complaints. Yet
that type of farmer like Frank Cam
eron as well as some of his neigh
bors, is probably getting nearer to
the solution of the problem than some
of the theorists who are complaining
more than they are farming. The
farm difficulty lies in the price of the
things the farmer has to sell, in ?:he
cost of the things he buys, and in the
modern fashion of paying too much
attention to a limited number of
crops that will sell for cash and a
neglect of some of the crops that the
older generation of farmers raised for
home consumption, instead of buying
so many things that some one else
raised to sell. The Cameron farm has
been a pretty fair example of living
at home—of raising as much as pos
sible that contributes to the mainte
nance of the home table, the home
stock lot, the home supply of all sorts,
and buying only what can not be
made profitably at home. Frank Cam
eron does not care whether corn is
selling for ten cents or ten dollars a
bushel if he raises his corn to feevl
his stock, or if he does not buy corn
for them. The price of a bushel of
corn signifies nothing to the farmer
who grows it for his own consump
tion. The older generation, making
the rations for the farm, planned for
enough corn, enough potatoes,
enough pork, enough wheat, enough
milk and butter, enough of the var
ious things to carry on the home life
with not many demands on the groc
ery or feed store. That simplified
things emphatically.
Modern life has prompted the far
mer to want many things he does not
raise on the farm, including gasolino,
tires, radios, telephones, and a long
list of things, so he needs crops that
will sell for cash to buy those re
quired possessions. That’s where the
price of cotton and tobacco gets him.
Taxes also have plaited his hair in
the last few years. Ten bales of cot
ton twenty years ago meant money
for the farm. Now it takes ten bales
of cotton to buy a Ford car, and a
lot of cotton to keep it running. It
takes two or thiee or four bales of
cotton to pay the taxes on the farm.
It takes more cotton to buy anything
than it used to. That is the farmer’s
big difficulty. He must buy more
things, and he must pay more for
them than he used to, and with cot
ton down to old time prices and every
thing else still above old time fig
ures he gets the short end of th-3
stick.
Chickens Help
Frank Cameron, and some of his
neighbors are making some otht^r
things that will help to pay taxes
and buy things, but they are mak
ing the things needed as far as they
can, and they are making wh^t they
make at the lowest ipossible outlay
of money and labor. That is one of the
solutions of the farm problem. Chick
ens will help to lift the load if the
Beaver Creek folks contmue to raise
chickens. That poultry movement at
Vass is helping.
Then the good roads are helping to
make the farmer take greater inter
est in the appearance of the homes.
That encourages the young folks as
well as the older ones. That Beaver |
Creek country is opening and broau- j S
ening. Farmers like Frank Cameron | H
are steadily getting in closer touch i ♦*
with the modem methods and mod-1 g
ern discoveries that pertain to farm
ing and to rural home life. Frank
Cameron led a happy home life in
his childhood, but he is adding many
little things to his farm and home
life because modern invention anJ
discovery and manufacture enable him
to add many little kinks that in hi-
boyhood were not known. He is help
ing to broaden life in his neighbor
hood; where he is a leader as his
