FARMING MAKES
GREAT PROGRESS]
Frank Parker Calls Attention
to Fact That This Factor of
State's Growth Is Not Yet
Kealized.
Itaieish, August 22.?There is one
factor entering into the proKressive
iiess of North Carolina that is not
generally recognized by the public
and this factor Is agricultural en
lightenment, which is made possible
by tht* annual farm census, according
to Frank I'arker, agricultural statis
tician of the Federal and State De
partments of Agriculture.
In a specially prepared paper
made public here today. Mr. l'arker
reviews the history of the annual
farm census in North 'Carolian and
outlines the purposes and work of
the census organization. The paper
follows:
"That North Carolina is making!
progress equal to that of any other |
state is generally recognized in view
of the advances made In manufac
turing. road building, education, ag*
riculture, etc. One phase of this
that few know of is concerning the
means for agricultural enlightenment
through the annual farm census.
"In 1018 the agricultural statist!-1
cian for North Carolina called the at- i
tention of II. W. Kllgore, director of .
extension work, to the fact that sev-!
eral other states were compiling an
nual farm censuses to great advan
tage. Each of these stales providing !
for farm censuses, but North Caro-]
lina had no such law. Mr. Kllgore;
readily co-operated and a voluntary
survey was secured from most of the
counties in the State. In 1919 this!
work was improved considerably.
"The results gained showed such
splendid improvement in both the
number of farms listed and the com
pleteness of the work that the Leg
islature two years ago passed a law
providing for a farm,census of the
State. *
"This year an intensive effort has
been made to get a complete list of
the acreage of crops, numUt-r-**f?pro-'
ductlve live stock, etc. That these
? ifortg have not been in vain is evi
dent in the present results, showing
reports from three-fourths of the
counties have sent in farm census
books for each township in the coun
ty and that very few of the others
have more than one township book
missing.
"This has been achieved by ap
pealing to the Interest of the county
officers and commissioners. There
has long been a question of doubt as
to Government crop estimates on the
grounds that they are usually erron
eous. The farm census makes it pos
sible to give the actual enumerations
of farm acreages and the number of
livestock, thereby relieving the ques
tion of doubt.
"In last year's agricultural census
report there were maps showing com-,
} r? henslvely where crops wore locat
ed. thus clearly outlining the sources
of supplies. A larynr map showing
what proportions of certain counth-i1
w. re cultivated also was prepared on
information gained in making the
t? ji This map indicated the coun-j
tics having large and small dlverslfl- j
Nations.
"A statistical summarization1
* ho wed that over 0,000,000 acres
were cultivated in North Carolina.
Of that area, according to the map
and the statistics. :',7 per cent was
planted in corn, 23 per cent in cot
ton. a little less than nine per cent
In wheat; somewhere more than sev
en per cent in tobacco and approxi
mately five per cent in oats.
"Much other information also was
available through the census; for In
stance. It was shown that there were
lu the State 136,000 tenants work
in t; on 78,000 farms, while 111,000
farms had no tenants; that over 1,
000,000 acres were utilized for im
proved pastureland; that 0.10.000
tons of commercial fertilizers were
used; that approximately 407.000
head of work stock were In service;
that 65.000 acres were devoted to
home gardens and that bearing fruit
tro'ri numbered about 7.000,000.
rSiiH year's results are now being
compiled by the Department of Ag
riculture. They will Include many
new features* as the number of each
class of productive stock, the num
ber of acres In wooded land, the
numbt r of acres In each class of hay
crop, etc.
"Each year new uses and advan
tages are being found for the farm
ers' benefit and enlightenment. Ev
ery Industry has advanced In eco
nomical knowledge concerning Its
trvndi. Agriculture alone has ncg
l cted this subject. In fact, agricul
tural economics Is a relatively new
i titution In many of our higher
pla<- of learning.
Wl'h the isolation and peculiar
circum?tancet that farmers have due
r. Iiri; of contact with their fellow
i.i' tl ? re Is a feeling of undue ad
v;. being taken, which is too of
t<;i i illy true. The only way that
fhl i going to be corrected Is for
the farmers to learn the true facts
from an unbiased source. This Is be
Inc offered them by the Department
of Agriculture through the farm cen
sus.

many respects from the kind seen in

I One of the most amazing scenes of

COLD COMFORT FOR!
LIQUOR OFFENDERS
In Very First ('.ourt Session
Jail Sentence Affirmed and
Judfse Connor Serves Notice
He Will Sustain Recorder.
I "1'nless there is some showing of I
I new evidence I am going to sustain j
the recorder in-these liquor cases." i
[said Judge G^W. Connor at the open
J ins session of Superior Court Wed-j
ineaday of this Week in affirming the
judgment of the lower court in the'
I case of Knoch Sanderlin, 54-year-old
lEllrnbeth City carpenter and former j
(member of the city police force, sen
tenced by Judge Spence to three
months on.the roads. The court, de
!spit** extended nrgument of counsel.;
(refused to make any modification of
.the sentence other than to change it
(from three months on the roads of
Hertford County to three months in
the Pasquotank County Jail. When
I counsel for the plaintiff noted an ap?"
peal, the court placed the appeal
bond at $500. observing that the on
ly possible purpose of un appeal was
'to delay justice. ,
Road sentences for convictions In
liquor cases became the rule In the
recorder's court when Trial Justice
Spence found fines and suspended
sentences Ineffective to check the li
quor traffic in Pasquotank. There
are a considerable number of appeals
from the recorder's road sentences,
and most probably the most that
such defendants have to be thankful
I for is that court did not begin this
'week until Wednesday, making, it
| possible that some cases now on the
docket will not be reached.
I Sanderlin had mitigating clrcum
| stances in his favor and the court's
{refusal to tempar justice in his case
[would seem to afford little ground
| for comfort to any violator of the
j Turlington Act who has been hoping
to get a road sentence changed to a
.fine or a suspended judgment at this
'term of Superior Court.
I Sanderlln's story was that he was
coming to tow n on his bicyfcle with a
! pint and a half of liquor, which h??
had obtained to celebrate the home
.coming of his son from three or four
I years service with I'ncle Sam. Hut
I any chance he had to win favor with
the court vanished when he told that
| he got the liquor from u man he did
n't know whom he happened to find
tin an automobile stalled along the
ihighVray. The court hated to sen
tence a mutt who had reached ripe
,age without offense to jail, hut it was
the law.In North Carolina and if the
folks didn't want a law so rigid as
(the Turlington Act it was up to them
to chance it. Judge Connor said.
{ One lone defendant was lucky on
'the first day of Judge Connor's court,
j He was Lee Ilelfe, 22-year-old white
| man. charged with larceny of a pis
tol or of receiving the pistol know
In? it to he stolen. The only evl
jdenee against RHfo was that the
'stolen pistol had been in his posses
sion and he had traded it for a rifle.
He wns represented by no counsel,
j asked the State's witnesses no ques
tions. and did not take the stand,
I but the jury, under the court's
icharge, after about ten minutes de
liberation, brought In a verdict of not
guilty.
The first case disposed of was a
liquor charge against Joe Self, in
which the defendant !jccept"d the
Judgment of the lower court and paid
a fine of $1 and costs.'
During the morning the grand
jury brought in a true till for mur
der against William Roberts, col
ored. as a result of his alleged shoot
in'; of "< leach;. " MctJce. "C.eachy,"

tii i tied.
] James Holly, colored, was found
I guilty of assault with deadly weapon!
by a Pasquotank jury and submitted
to a charge of carrying a concealed J
weapon in Superior Court Wednes
I day morning.
"Holly ought to go to the roads:
'and if I send him to the roads It will

tjudge Connor, "but if I send him to
I the roads there will be no way of
compensating Heckstall for his Injur
lies and for the loss of more than two
| months' work. Tin* judge then asked
if the defendant could pay Heckstall
$150 and the costs, and his counsel
nodded affirmatively. The court took
the matter under advisement during
the noon recess.
The real cause of the shooting will
probably never be known. The two

ation showed that five bullets had
taken eJTeit in hi ft person, three
about his legs and hips, one in his
left arm and one grazing the abdo
men. Heckstall was in the marine
I hospital sit Norfolk to April 16.
The direction of the bullets seems
to corroborate HcckstaH's story of
ithe affairs, which is as follows:
"We were coming up from the boat
(and when we got to the railroad
track that runsiunder the lumber
shed 1 told Jim (that I'd* heard he'd
said that he was going to kill tne,
and asked him what about it. He

???hot was the first warning I had that
he v.ns mad."
Heckstall'^' story is corroborated
by HI well Overton, who work< J ?s n

both Heckstall and Holly admit, war-'

pressed by the court for a reason for

him with a knife and kept coming
until he was shot down. The trou-j
