Thought- - fii-Tnr.ru u-cre much concerned over the situation and were asking how it was to be met. It was at this crisis that the State and Federal Departments of Agriculture stepped In to the aid of the farmers in this sect on. Men were sent into the fle d to look into the situation and gain some idea of the quantity of beans grown this year. The oil mills were in duced to take up the manufacture ot boy bean products. As a re sut, whereas a short time aao the price of the soy bean was nominal, they are today firm at a dollar a bushel. , When one cons ders the fact that soy bean oil is Imported Into this country in tyrge quantities irom ManManchuria, when he Is tola that this product is now used in large -quantities by manufacturers of the high grade soaps in the jt(.,i states whfin he tears that L, 11 1 L wv.v a factory has racent y been equlped in New York, for the manufacture of sov bean milk and that from this miiu condensed milk and cheese can be manufactured, he begins to see the poss bllities ofcthis new industry which Is Just opening up m North Carol nna.

C, Dec; 15 The model cooperative ' county-.in North Carolina la Catawba". The people of that county havw not only waked up to the possibilities whkh may be obtained ,, through co-operation, but they have gone to work with so much spirit that they have won the honor of i.elfig rankad aa the ftoMt model of co-operation In the South. Co-operation among the tormers may be divided into three general c -asses: te operative productiony co operative marketing and co-operative societies for baiikiBg. The farm ers of Catawba county have deve.r; oped each of these to some extent. The first step towards co opera tion taken by the uatawDa county folk was the founding of theCataw- bo Co-operative Creamery in 1910. The total initial Investment in this creamery was, on y wou the business began, the number oi natrons was 38. The first month's operations produced sales of batter to the amount of S840. finree thousand pounds of butter were made during the month. By tne end of the first year the amount paid to, the patrons had reached $14,868. The second year witnese nd marked increase both In the number of patrona and in the ': mount of business. The amount ipald out for butter fat this year was 822)016. 'The Creamerpr uompauT was incorporated In Mil with an a thorlsed capital stock of 160,00. It was. and still is, a reojilrement oi the Company; that at all time W , r cent of the stock must be owneu by the farmers. At ttejfreseni ww, only -ten sharea are held 'by "other than rarmeri;- V V ' ThA areat success of the creamery cou d not fall to Impress the tanners of Catawba county with the Import ance of co operative enterprises; ana so, they have hastened to form other such associations. In 1913 the Ca tawbo County Sweety Potato Grow ers' Association was organized with a membership of 60. Tie Aocla tion had three purposes in organia i ng: first, to increase the production of sweet potatoes; second, to im prove the'r quality; and third, to standardize the package for their Bhlmnent. The Association nas been growing steadily ana is meet ing a long-fe t need in Catawba county. But the Catawba county farmers ad not Umit; their cooperation to enterprises merely for the sale of thii. nroducets: he, also applies the principle of co-operation to the sup-v plies fhat he purchases. In order to suppy this need the Farmers' Unicn Warehouse Company was in corrorated In 1913 with an author ized capital stock of $25 000. This wrhousa is a wholesa'e ware house for all the farmers in .the the county. It handles sucn articles as fertilizers, seeds, , im plements, wagons, buggies, and harness. The rarmers p may be also marketed through the warehouse. Last year the ware- house did a $2500 business More Instances of Improvement might be cited. " been shown should he enough to convince the most sceptical that the county has greatly improved, and that the most powenui muR.o Influence in bringing about this improvement haa been tne practi cal operation of the .. principle of cooperation in the variova iarmm Industries of the county. SUCCESSFUL PECAN CULTURE ON ROBINSON S CAMDEN FARM . . ,., $2'Z-1 ' ' "V In the window of Deans . Cofl feetienery and Luncheonette this week are to be seen specimens of especially' perfect' homegrown pe cans. These nuts are of ,the Money-Maker, Van Demon and Stewar varieties and were grown on the farm of C; O. Robinson in Camden County. . Mr. Robinson's pecan orchard probably has a larger number of bearing pecan trees than can be found anywhere In the State. Seventy-five trees are beating for the first time this af, and though from these tew nuts will be gathered other, arees have been bearing for several years, and some are nearing the real producing period. . A number of year! ago Mr. Rob inson began to experiment neoan culture: D.antlnz first a ber of home grown nut. When a sturdy beginning had been made by these treea they wer budded with trees of the better varieties of na. In this way, with the root sys tem undisturbed, they had all the vigor of the native pecan treea and at the same time will produce the fancy varietlee of nuta. When the budding was done, Mr. Robinson set out law treea that wer left over from the budding process and watched the deve epment of these In comparison with his home stock budded treea. In a Hort time the budded trees had passed the Imported variety in growth atH( have continued to ahow greatet vigor Mr. Robjri0Veiperimt, wqnlr Ing aa It hM, much patience and care, Is' of mtetest to thla i'ctlon iA' atftta. nd anceeaa - .'will- doubileaa enoourage the culture of the pecan here and add anothef to the long list of home grown, pro ducts.
