Our Cof'on Acreage.
With the fear of the boll weevil
still ill the air the biff question heard
in far mine: circles in this county re
cently is, “ *Vhat will the county's
otton acreage be this year?” “Will
last year’s crop ar.d price run the
acreage up so high .that a visit by
the weevil tribe would be disastrous
to the county?” is the following
question. And from the tone of the
questions Clarence Poe’s articles in
the Progressive Farmer vwarning the
cotton farmer against increased acre
age are being read and heeded in this
cour.ty.
From all indications this county has
nothing to worry about. Last year
famous for diversified products as
well as cotton, "the county bids fair
to do so again. County Agent Law
rence, who is pdobably in closer touch
with all sections of the county than
any other man, thinks there need be
no fear of an over-burdening acreage.
It will be increased he says, but to
no considerable extent. The increase
he says will be approximately 2 or
:i per cent. “Last year 48,000 acres
were in cotton and this year it will be
around o0,000 acres, probably less,”
Lawrence ays. This small increase
will be well taken care of by better
fertilization. In .some sections farmers
are increaeng a few acres, in others
planting the same acreage, and in
some i s. And with a good season
Cleveland may very near realize the
“bah-per-ac re” program, the optimis
tic say.
Plenty of manure is one of the first
requirement:; of a tome garden.

lowing the cows to eat wild onions.
Farmers of Scotland county have

for planting (his year.

age house, II. T. Watkins of Blanch,

There will be great excitement in
poultry circles at Grainger three
weeks from now, when more than
10,000 fluffy biddies emerge from a
single incubator in a big hatchery
there. Sidney Moore, the manager,
raid 200 or 300 more eggs were need
ed to fill the incubator. When these
r.re placed in the machine the heat
will be turned on and nearly 1,000 set
ting hens will lose their jobs. The
hatching will be the largest ever
know.'! in this immediate section.
Brooding equipment and run-ways
have been provided for the army of
baby “reds’ and Wyandottes antici
pated. The Grainger plant is the first
commercial hatchery in that part of
the stale, tl is ejected to handle 50
000 eggs during the season.

i hat North Carolina is rapidly be
coming;. truck state and regaining
much of the ground lost many years
ago is evident from the official ‘gov
ernment figures just released con
cerning the commercial acreage of

that the prospective snap beau acre

been estimated to be 1,230 acres. The
watermelon acreage last year Was
4,730^ acres; cantaloupes, 2,300 acres

from the previous year, the watermel
