Death cases numbered 81 last year
and 138 the year before.
During the past year accidents re

COUNTY RANKS
22nd IN LITERACY
1582 Illiterates Over 10 years
of Age in Haywood. With
Population of 28,273.
North Carolina takes fifth place
from the bottom in. illiteracy rank
among 10 so-classed Southern States,
only South Carolina, Louisiana, Miss
issippi and Alabama, in the order
named, being below. North Carolina
reduced her illiterates -from 13.1 per
cent in 1920 to 10 percent in 1930,
however. Of the State's 3,170,276
population, 2,352,014 were 10 years
old and over in 1930. Of these 236,-,
2(il, or 10 per cent, were illiterate.
White illiterates numbered 93,822, or
5.6 per cerit; negro illiterates 139,105,
of 20.6 percent, and illiterates of other
races, largely Indian, 3,334, or 29.6
percent.
Haywood county having a total
population of 28,273 with 20,383 of
the number ten years old or over, had
1,582 or 7.8 percent, placing this
county in 22 place in literacy rank of
the 100 counties, White illiterates
numbered 1,524 Or 7.7 percent; negroj
liiueraraies on or iu.z per cent, 'ana
illiterates of other races none.
The small decrease in number of
illiterates in North Carolina during
the past 10 years indicates that some
thing more definite should be done
about this problem during the present
decade, writes Dr. A. T. Allen, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
in the current issue of State School
Facts.
"In 1920", he points out, "there
were 241.603 illiterates; in 1930 there
were 236, 261. One out of every 10
persons 10 years of age and over is
illiterate." Stating that efforts to
wipe out illiteracy have not been
enough to make a showing in the
State, and noting that the illiteracy
rate is much lower in cities than in
rural areas, due to better public
schools for 30 years, he suggests as a
means of eradicating illiteracy:
First: to build up and strengthen
the present rural school system by
providing an opportunity in all dis
tricts, as to school term and training
of teachers, equal to that offered by
the larger school centers; second, by
adult classes to reduce the present
number of illiterates beyond school
age by teaching them to read and
write."

One Farm Product
Has No Surplusi
Thf.e
no
surplus of farm work-!
-stock and the scarcity of mules andi
horses will increase as the main1
lieedir.g centers continue to u: e tiac-
tors for power. 1
"One important live-at-home policy
being over-looked in North Carolina i
isthe production of a farm supply
of mule and horses," says David S.
Weaver, agricultural engineer at!
State College. "Horses and mules!
suitable fur farm power are dyingj
yff from old age more rapidly than
they are being produced. In the west
ern states, which formerly produced j
a large part of the horses and mules I
supply, farmers have gone into trac-j
tor farming. This has resulted in a'
displacement of breeding mares. No
other section seems to be interested ;
in producing the animals of the size'
the Southern farmer needs and it !
looks as if he will have to get into
this work for ris own protection."
Mr. Weaver believes that as long
as we have small farms in the State,
cut up by ditches and other obstruc
tions, we shall continue to need ani
mal power for farming, This means
that a market will be available fer
mules and horses for a long period.
From some figures which he has ob
tained from the Horse Association
of America, Mr. Weaver finds there
were eight million horses and mules
under four years of age in the United
States in 1920. By 1930, this num
ber had decreased to about two and
one-half million.
Over half of the mules and horese
living on January 1 were over 10
years old, which will explain the pres
ent high death rate of these animals.
These figures show a half million
yearly decrease in horse and mule
population and means that more and
more farms will begin to depend on
some other kind of power unless the
animals are produced at home.

iMust Reduce Acreage
To Early Irish Potatoes
Kcports complied by She Bereau
;f Agriculture Economics at Wash
ngton indicated that there are enough
of the 1931 crop of Irish potatoes on
hand
supply the market through
the time of marketing the early cropi
next season and that this supply will
be soi.i in competition with North
Carolina potatoes.
"The ly.'U ciop of Irish potatoes
grown in eastern North Carolina was
exceeded only by the bumper crop of
192K.and the yield per acre of 155
bushels produced in this State last
sijri.rg was the best average acre
yield on record," says Charles A,
Sheffield, assistant extension director
at State College. "At the present
time, the United States has a supply
of 375 million bushels of which 329
million bushels is from the late crap,
much of which will go into storage.
Over -one-third of this amount was
grown in the area from Pennsylvania
to Main."
Mr. Sheffield finds on studying the
figures that 35,500,000 bushels of po
tatoes were produced in Maine this
season and the growers are now get
ting 30 cents a barrel for the crop.
This price means that many thous
ands of bushels are being stored for
use next year and these will come into
direct competition with the early
crop from the South. North Carolina
is in an especially bad position in re
gard to the crop next season and for
that reason the Extension service has
planned a series of meetings in the
eastern Carolina section to appraise
growers of the situation.
The meetings are being held at Mt.
Olive, Calypso, Beaufort, Bayboro
Vanceboro, Aurora, Pantego, Bethel,
Columbia, Elizabeth City and Curri

and lasting through the evening of
November 6.

Meal Better Fertilizer ,
Than Is Cotton Seed
While cottonseed meal is a much
better nitrogen carrier for fertUifcp
than the- cotton seed, it will not pay
to swap the seed for meal unless a
fair exchange is made. At present
values vf plant food
105J pobnds of
fertilizer value
the meal is equal
to a ton of the seed and the grower
should get from 1400 to 1800 pounds
of the meal in exchange for a ton of
seed.
"In making this exchange the
grower must only allow for the value
of his seed as a fertilizer but must
also take into' consideration the ex
pense incurred in hauling and handl
ing the seed and meal," says C. B.
Williams, head of the department of
agronomy at State College. "If one
decides that he cannot get a fair ex
change for his seed, it might be wise
to compost down the amount needed
for fertilizer. This should be done
this fall and the seed mixed with rich
earth, manure or woods mould. Such
a plan is better than waiting until
next spring and putting the seed di
rectly under the crops."
Mr. Williams has received hundreds
of inquiries this fall asking for in
formation about the value of seed
and meal exchange. Many of the in
quiries indicate that the crushers are
.offering- less meal than usual.
Based on the plant food that the
two materials contain it will take 1.9
tons of cotton seed to equal one ton
of the meal. The crop increase where
cotton seed is used as a source of
nitrogen is about 80 percent of the
source where dried blood or nitrate
of soda is used as the source of all
nitrogen in the fertilizer mixture.
Tests also show, says Mr. Williams,
that the meal used as a source of
nitrogen will give 20 percent better
results than cotton seed. However,
the grower must take into considera
tion the exchange basis offered him.
