' # ' I MARKED CHANGE NOTED IN STATE FARM METHODS 4> Improved Machinery Now To Be Found on Nearly Every Farm —: Improved farm machinery was once a rarity on the average North Caro lina farm and where it was present, the machinery was used only at long i intervals.. Now such implements are m use nearly every week in the year. Oscar 11. Phillips, one of the observ ing county agents ot the North t'ar iidina Extension Service, puts this in jto words probably better than any one else. — Mr I'ltiHip* has seen tire - re markable change Come about in Stanly count\ where he has worked for years to build a more fertile soil. 1 In a recent report, lie says, "The hum of the mowing machine as it glides through a splendid growth of I spring hays is fascinating music to the j wide-awake farmer. It is not merely the" click, click of the mower, but the return iu dollars from the feeding of well-cured hay* that causes real satis taction. " Kadi year, a larger number of fanners join this class and this year, is no exception. First, we had hay making with the group growing alfal fa. Next came the vetch and small grain growers, and this group is larg er than usual. The early cutting of hay was damaged a little by the heavy rains but the later cuttings were cured almost perfectly. "The red, sweet, and alsike clovers are noV being cut with splendid yields. "The mowing machine was idle during most of the year in former 1 days, but now it is used on the well managed farm nearly every week in ! the year and certaihly every month with the |Kissible exception of Decem ber. January and February." Observers passing through North Carolina in those latter days have ob -1 served this wholesome change. Not j only docs the song of the mowing ma diine rise melodiously from well cul tivated fields but other implements 1 also add a chorus of freedom from soul-trying and back-breaking labor. ' , Rural Population Shows 14.1 Per Cent Increase » The rural population of North C4r olina in I'JJO was ,2,.ii0,429, compris ing 1,597,220 persons living on farms, I and 76.1,2t>9 not living on farms, rep | resenting as a whole ' an increase of I 291/>76, or 14.1 per cent, as compared | with the rural population in 1920 (2.- J 068,753).
