OT FIRST IN NEWS AM) ADVERTISING of th- Sandhill Territory of North Carolina Aberdeen and Southern Pines, North Carolina, January 1, 1932. FIVE CENTS MARKETING PLAN TO AID FARMERS IN VASS SECTION Over 100 Acres Sijjned Up for Vegetables for Ready Northern Markets TRIK’KS TO HAUL CROPS Unless all signs fail Vass is about to enter on a new industry that ap pears to be cooper-rivited in all its quarters and water-tight. Last sum mer, when A. L. Marvel, a fruit buy- ei from Soabury, Delaware, was in Vass buying dewberries, he became interested in the possibilities of the soil and climate and he went back home with his head full of curosity about the scheme of encouraging the growing of a number of truck crops in that neighborhood and marketing through his‘association in the North. Mr. Marvel and Walter Graham had been talking over the idea, and when Mr. Marvel went home Mr. Graham went to Raleigh to thresh out the pos sibilities with the wise men of the Agricultural Department. He came back full of enthusiasm, and was fur ther encouraged by reports from Mr. Marvel, who said that his people were ready to make overtui'es down this way if the local people would meet them half way. I.ast week Mr. ^Marvel af^'-ain went’ over the lieul vvith Mr. (Iraham and, laid before a number of rejiresenta-' tive farmers a plan of action, it pro poses that these farmers will sot offi a plot ranging from an acre to three I or four acres on which to cultivate I truck crops that Mr. Marvel says hisj company can market in the Noi-th. II is concei’n has its own fleet of I trucks and its owrt channels of dis tribution, and he expects to handle the product of the experiment as ho has handled dewberries from Vass in the past, picking it up at the packing shed in the village, paying cash and taking it off the hands of the far mer right there. j 100 Acres Signed Up ; Before deciding to assume any pos-' itive relation to the conmuniity Mr., Marvel took soil samples and other indications of conditions with him to Delaware and there, studied the mat-' ter with growers in that .section, with! market men and buyers and sellers i in the Northern markets. Ho satisfied; himself of the soundness i.f the prop osition, so he is back with the idea in tangible shape. He will provide cer tified selected seed for the planting, to be paid from the crop in the fall when it is sold. He will help with the planting , to the extent of advice and choice of things to grow. In the past few days he has been enlisting far mers in the scheme, and over 100 acres has been signed up, including 30 acres that he will plant himself, the crops to be Lima beans, okra, big stem Jersey sweet potatoes, bull-nos ed i-epi)ers, and a few tomatoes. These crops will be grown on a standard basis, hanr.jed right to mt'.ke the right types for the market, hurried along for early sales, and deliverei? to,.tho buyer in the North in the rig;ht con dition and size and quality. Trucks will allow the stuff to be sold in the littlo towns «s well as the big ones. The depres.«ed condition of cotton and tobacco puts the farmer in posi tion where he wants something else to lift the load on his shoulders, and Mr. Marvel is looked on as a wel come visitor at most of the farms. With a market in sight and a way to get the stuff there, with every far mer i-eady to tackle something that gives promise of an outlet, the ex periment has appealed to a list of representative names. Among others are Walter Leslie, 2 acres; W. M. Mc Leod, 1 acre; Zeb Blue, 1 to 2 acres; A. C. Smith, 4 acres; E. B. Thomp son, 2 acres; J. D. Richardson, 1 acre; B. B. Johnson, 2 acres; II. 0. Wooten,' 2 acres; Arch McLauchlin, 2 acres; Frank Cameron, 4 acres; Arch McGill, 4 acres; Dr. Rosser, W. M. Blue, Ernest McNeill, W. T. Ring, Sam McCall, J. H. P>y, D. M. Cam eron, Coynell Cameron, J. C. Hardy, Aubrey Keith, Thornton Sellers, J. A. Thomas, Tom Medlin, W. A. Flynn, and some others whose acreage was not known at the time of the report. Mr. Marvel will plant the 30 acres Upside Down Fhij; on Aberdeen Postoffice Starts Fears Country Had Completely Turned Turtle The Pilot telephone rang. “What’s happened to the c.ountry now,” asked J. L. Rhyne, of the Aberdeen & Rockfish. “What’s the matter?” “Just wanted to know if the country has completely turned tur tle,” he said. “The flag on the postoffice is flying upside down.” We dashed out of the office. It was. But not for long. Postmas ter Deaton had it changed before the Amei^can Legion, the Field Ar tillery frbm Fort Bragg and the Daughters of the American jRevolu- tion .arrived on the scene. J.S, DUNLOP, LONG PINEHURST DAIRY HEAD. DIES AT 58 Due Here Tuesday Despite Crash Prominent Resident of Sand hills V'ictiin of Heart Affec tion at Home Here ILL FOR SP:VERAL !\K)NTHS PINEHURST FARM AYRSHIRE HERD HAS HIGH RATING Holds Records and Roasts Pod- ij*rees Amon,:^ First in the Entire Country STDII LUS TO COUNTY By Hiun II. Butler One of the prettiest sights along the country roads of Moore county is the Pinehin-st farm that is seen at the crossing of Littlo River on the road from Southern Pines to Car thage. In the pasture fields is a herd of young cattle which are growing up to be the members of the dairy herd at Pinehurst. They are careful ly I red young Ayi shires, of the best sto-k not only in America but in the entire .Ayrshire world, fur many of tl.e leaders of the herd are from the old country. Pinehurst holds records and boasts of pedigrees in the herds that are among the first in this coun- t ry. When it wa‘. decided that tlye Ayr shire cow should bo the daii'y cow at Pinehui'st the best available stock was choscn as the foundation for the l ord, and to tliat stock has been ad ded from time to time bloo(i from the best herds elsewhere until Pinehurst .'.yrshiros are famous now wherever dairy cattle are known. While that sounds good to Moore county folks a still better outcome has followed which is the multijilication of Ayr- >bire cows on Moore county farms and throughout the whole state. Many young heifer calves have been distri- I'l.ted throughout the neigliji'orhood and in other counties until herds are growing up that are also making dairy records that are enviable. The Pinehurst ideal is followed in many (iuai'tors, so widely that tlie Pine hurst influence has definitely lifted the standard of milk products over u wide range of country. ?]von other l.('rd.s are stimulated to much bet ter conditions by the advance the John Sheldon Dunlop, prominent lesident of Pinehurst where f,or many years he was in charge of the Pine- burst farms and dairy, passed away at his home there early Wednesday morning. Death was due to a heart affection from which he had suffer ed for several months. His ileath, however, was unexpected and came as a severe Idow to the community which he had seived so well and^ to the many friends he had endeared to him thi'0ugh,)ut the Sandhills. Mr. Dunlop was .")8 years of age, a iiative of Wisconsin. Because of his thorough knowledge of general farm ing, an-d especially the dairy busines', l.eonai’d Tufts brought him to Pine- burst eleven years ago, and he be came superintendent of the extensive farms and dairy properties of Pine hurst, InCi'irporated. It was while un der his management that the Pine- \ hurst Dairy, with its I looded Lcj'd! of Ayrshire®, became famous over ‘ the nation. He retired fiom active management of the dairy a few years ago, his son, Willard L. Dunop, sue-j .eeding him. Always a friendly man, Mr. Dun lop’s circle of aciiuaintancesliii) ex tended throughout this section of the state, and tlv)se who knew him loved; 1 im. The report of his t’eath brought | c(>unty-wide exi)ressions of deep re gret and sincere sympathy lov the; family he leaves behind him. j Funeral sei’vicer were held yester day afternoon at his late residence ini Pinehurst, with the Rev. T. A. Cheat-! ham and the Rev. W. M. McLeod of-1 ficiating. Interment was in .Mount Ho])c Cemetery, Southern Pines j Mr. Dunlop is survived by his wid-| ow, who befi'ire her marriage, was i Miss Eva Elizabeth Rusk; by one son, Willard L, Dunloji of Pinehurst, and | two daughters, Mrs. James Quale of; Pinehurst and Mrs. Iloni'y L. Graves of Lakeview. Several grandchildren also survive. MRS.
