Miss Hattie Berry Singles Out This County As Leader in Diversified Agriculture. The Ob server Tells When and How It Was Done and Gives The Table of County Agent Law rence as The Result. Charlotte Observer. The discovery made by the farmers in North Carolina more than a dozen years ago that, they were raising more cotton to the acre than Texas nr any other state did not reem to ex cite them, at all. And they took it as a matter of fact that last year when informed that, outside the Empire of Texas, they raised more cotton than any state in the Union. The amuse ment of the farmers in this state to the possibilities of North Carolina soil and climate under intensified culti vation began hack in the 80s when men like Col. L. L. Polk, Dr. Columbus Mills and their contemporaries began Coins over the state and making talks to the country population. They blaz ed the way and made it easy for the following: of the scientific evangelists inngriculture. Rut it^was a hard job weaning the people away from the all cotton crop. The rural population of the state was poor, cotton was the ready-money crop, and it was promot ed by the lien-holders. The first direct venture in advanced agriculture was made about 10l2 in Cleveland when the farmers of that county were led into the hitherto untried system of terracing their farms. The immediate surprise was that on the ridges and on either side the terrace ditches they raised bigger crops than in the whole of the field under former conditions. Cleveland countv gave the state a catching epidemic, and terracing has become of adoption by the more en terprising farmers throughout the state. And it was the terracing sys tem that gave promotion to the diver sification method. The s'art of diver sification in Cleveland can lie traced back to the days when terracing came in. It follows that us Cleveland led in terracing it now leads the state in di versification—and in prosperity. The direct evidence is produced in the Mar k“t News, a weekly publication by the division of markets of the North Car olina department of agriculture, the facts being compiled by Miss Hattie M. Berry. She lays down the proposi tion that “if every county in North Carolina could follow the program which Cleveland put into practice, it would not be long before we would tie a hillion-flollar state, agriculturally,” She then submits the variety and vol ume of crops produced in Cleveland county during the year 192.'!. The im. pressive summary is wortli reproduc ing for the inspiration of the farmers in general. This is the record of crops grown in Cleveland during that year and the money the farmers "pulled down:” 39,11*0 hales of cotton and seed — $6,500,000.00 1,056,108 bushels corn at $1 nor bushel 1,056,168.00 99,520 bushels oats at 67c per bushel . 66,678.00 6,250 bushels rye at $1.2l> per bushel 7,500.00 $3,070 gallons of molas ses at 80c 66,456.00 4.902 tons of hay at $18.20 89,216.00 36,290 bushels cowpeas a,* S3 |W.| bushel 73,580.00 3,1+0 bushels soybeans at S3 per bushel 6,280.00 27.297 bushels Irish pota toes at $1 per bushel . _ 27,297.00 113,876 bushels sweet po tatoes at $1 bushel 113,876.00 71,060 bushels wheat ut $1.36 per bushel 100,721.00 7 154 hoe\s at 10c per lb. 153,120.00 Pe'-s and noultry sold 300,000.00 Dairy products _ 592,400.00 This foots on a total agriculture in come *n the farmers of Cleveland of $9.1 + 3 292.00 for a single year. The distribution is made among a total nonoiatiou of 34,272. These big crop producers get the best prices for their products because of the fact that they are well-organized on the co-opera* tiv" marke'ing basis. The Market News gives such infor mation bearing on the progress made in on-nnerativo marketing in the stale and of its splendid operation, especial ly in the matter of hogs and live stock and sweet. Potatoes. Warehouses have been provided for the latter crop, which is given the advantage of scien tific inspection. The system insures the heat, of marketing prospects. The potatoes are cured and packed In crate, an das they are being loaded for shinment are given a final inspec tion. Those grading up properly are marked with the official state grading stamp, and certificate a sto quality and condition is issued the shipped. These certificates protect the grower, the shipper and the buyer and operate to stabilizing the market for the sweet potato, a product peculiarly adapted to the North Carolina soil and production of which is being largely extended. And of course we must always bring in a new brag. This time it is the dew berry. Miss Hattie Berry brings out the disclosure that North Carolina is “the greatest dewberry state in the Union.” It’s last season’s shipment of berries, amounting to more than 400 carloads, was the largest contribution to the markets of any state. The dew berry growers are now perhaps the most tightly organized marketing cor poration in the state. The organiza tion was effected last week at Aber deen and the marketing of the 1925 crop is in the hands of business men of qualifications—Landis, of Hamlet; Carrington, of Sanford; McPherson, o* Cameron, and McCoy, across the line fn McBee. It will not ho many years until the country will be hearing as much about North Carolina agriculture as it has heard of North Carolina manu facturers. Coolidge Statement After His Election Hero is the statement that Presi dent Coolcdge issued immediately following his' election. “It does not seem possible to me to make an ad equal expression concerning the presidency of the United States. No other honor equals it; no other re sponsibility approaches it. When it is conferred by an overwhelming; choice (tf the American people and vote of the Electoral College, these are made all the greater. 1 can only express my simple thanks to all those who have contributed to this result and plainly acknowledge that it has been brought to pass through the work of a Divine Providence, of which I am hut one instrument. Such powers as I have I dedicate to the service of all my country and of all my countrymen. In the performance of the duties of my office I cannot ask for anything more than the sympathetic consider ation wh;ch my fellow-Amerioans have always bestowed upon me. I have no appeal except to the common sense of all the people. I have no pledge except to serve them. I have no object except to promote their welfare.” COST OF RUNNING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The cost of running the federal gov ernment in the fiscal year beginning next July may fall below $3,000,000, 000 or half billion dollars less than estimated expenditures for the current fiscal year. On the basis of estimates prepared by the budget bureau and on which its conferences with the spend ing departments of the government practically have been completed, the anticipated appropriations for the year beginning next July 1 stood «* 000,000 exclusive of the postoffice department, the receipts of which are expected to balance the expenses.
