April 4, 1912 LOCAL OBJECT LESSON AGRICULTURE. IN The agriculture contest has be come popular in the South. Boys' corn dabs have and are doing won ; ders to advance intelligent, pro gressive and profitable farming. It . has raised the farm in the estima ; tion of every one, and made it - more attractive for boys, who oth - wise wouUj $pe nothing but hard . toil, and who would be easily lured : to the city. Iu Cranio county last year, on the farm sear New Bern, of Hock burn and Willett was given an ob ject lesson in cotton farming, that t is worthy of careful scrutiny by ever farmer in this section. The story of this fifteen acre cotton patch has been told in the Journal It is not very remarkable that fif town bales of 460 pounds each were J ' picked from the fifteen acres. Greater yields were recorded lust year. But the object, the point, the value of this cotton crop was that of its supeiior staple, which was so excellent that it brought 16 cents per pound when the cot ton grown in other fields in this section was selling at one half thei price. This may be held as it-disco very OD the part of Messrs Hacklmru and Willett, the possibility of mis iog such a grade of cotton on Cra- '.' ven county soil. It is a valuable object lesson, at least one that ev- , try farmer in this section can take ' . Up fend profit thereby, by pursu iog the same methods. There is no i secrecy as to seed or soil, so that every cotton grower cau enter the ? contest, the prize being to each successful grower the same, name ly, a crop worth in money, possi bly twice that previously raised, and this with no extra labor cost. It is well worth the effort of fann ers of this section to enter the con test of raising this staple of co'.tou. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR I A Tha U. C. Frick Coal Company, of Uatoatown.
