E. Lawrence had prepared an in teresting bit of information showing the relative values of the leading money crops produced in Cleveland and stressed the importance of diver sification, laying special emphasis on hogs, poultry, cattle and potatoes. Lawrence gave two of the prizes; one a bushel of home-grown, home-stored sweet potatoes drawn by Clar ence Gardner. His other prize was a butcher knife drawn by Forrest Crowder of Lattimore, Jno. Gold drew the big prize, a sack of fertilizer g i en by Kiwanian J. F. Jenkins of tli-' Shelby Oil Mill. A Thing to Fear. C. A. Kimbrough of Appalachee, Ga., brought first-hand fear of the weevil's heavy hand. - Before the weevil made ita appearance in his section, he was a member of a large firm which operated a store and farm worth a quarter of a million dollar. For a year or two they thought the weevil would do little damage, and' the farmers staked their all on "an other crop" with the result that the firm to which he belonged closed down, saving only $18,000 out of the quarter of a million. "Gentlemen, you may think your, elevation makes" you safe, but you are as sure to have the weevil in great numbers aa we are sitting here tonight. I have been forced to leave Georgia and am lo cating in Gastonia to work for wages. My town had 600 population in its prosperous day. One season 205 fam ilies left from that railway station and our old customers are scattered in most every state in the union. My reason for coming here was to col lect accounts, if I can, against the negro tenants who moved to Cleve land. We have accounts owing us In all states but two. In one issue of the Madison county paper, 13 farms were advertised for sale under mortgage, due to the weevil. Tax collectors stopped selling land for taxes because the farms would not bring the tax es." Mr. Kimbrough has made a study of the weevil and its habits and told the farmers- many interesting things He urged early preparation of soil, liberal use of fertilizer, rapid culti vation and the dusting with calcium arsenate according to the govern ment s recommendation. He warned the farmers not to try other clans which are represented to be so good, but adhere strictly to the govern ments memod. Must Work at Nixht W. A.

The senate did not pass Governor Morrison's Steamboat Bill last week, but appropriated a modest sum of mo ney with which to secure men to make a thorough investigation and study before the state undertakes to spend two millions or more in a pro ject which is questionable as business venture. 1 t looked for awhile as if the senate would pass the measure at the in stance of the governor and leave it ud to the house to do the slaying act, wt the senators evidently heard from home on the mater and they did the "'se thing by refusing to approoriate h's vast sum until they can have the nort of a commission before them, this commission to give careful con 'deration to the matter and reoort as wWher or nnt they regurd it bs a good business venture for the state.

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR OLD NORTH STATE STEADY MARCH OF PRO GRESS IN 1923 . Factories Working Full Time liHst Year One and a Third Million in New Wealth, From practically every angle the year 1922 can be looked at as the re naissance of prosperity, portraying steady recovery from the deep de pression of 1921. North Carolina has done her full part in the general come back" of the United States and proud ly noints to her record. The $50,000,000 bond issue for good roads, voted in 1921, the $15,000,000 additional bonds soon to be voted, and the building of 1,000 miles of Improv ed highway in 1922, marks the begin ning of a new era in state. Farmed will no longer be bound to one or two markets for their products, but, with automobiles and good roads, will have five or six to pick from. School routes are being increased and enlarged, new school buildings of permanent con struction are being built to the end that North Carolina will soon rank again among the first, instead of the 1st in illiteracy. Intercourse among her people will be much increased to the enlightenment of all. The advance in prices of farm pro ducts during the past year has ma terially improved the condition of the rural communities. Many frozen cred its hnve been liouidated and a more comfortable feeling is apparently p0-ntiv in one county jtrop is estimated at 30,WHi,ouo pounds; cotton 851..000 bales; pea nuts 127,000,000 pounds; and the wheat and corn crops are both large. One of the new and growing crops of the state is the peach crop, 1,435 cars of this fruit were shipped in 1922 and a much larger crop is look ed for this year. From this crop a vest amount of wealth is being added to the state through the conversion of almost waste land into great income bearing acreage. The manufacturing industries of the state are practically all working at full schedule and many are run ning two shifts to supply the de mand for their products. The cotton and tobacco manufacturing and the wood working industries are all In excellent condition. In two decades North Carolina has risen from twenty-seventh to fif teenth in the value of manufactured products and has today more cotton mills than any other state in the un- ion. The hydro-electric development. proximity to the cotton fields and j(cai labor conditions will unqucstion- - ) k"ep her in the lead in the col(- ton industry. In 1922 North Carolina created one and one-third billion dollars of new wealth which wsa more than three times the amount created in 1912. The new wealth created in 1922 aver aged five hundred dollars for every man, woman and child in the state; or stated dif ferenetly. $2,600 for every family. This reccord led the south.
