That tin re continues to be something fear ft.Ily out of gear about American ag riculture is witnesses to by tne fur ther decrease in the number of farms. I" agriculture were all the department thinks of it and the farmer.; as sound ly prosperous and progressive, how can the figures showing the contin ual desertion of the farms by the population be reconcile 1 to these claims. In 1920, according to the figures given out by the Department of Com merce, there were a total of G.’MS, 343 farms in the United States, while the 1925 farm census gives the num ber as 6,372,608. This is i decrease in the five-year period of 75,785 farms. The figures applying for the whole Country as to decreases do not ap ply to North Carolina and that is a fortuitous omen for this Common wealth. Agriculture is not losing its popularity here as in mar./ other States and the South, as a whole, stands up well when compared with other sections. As a matter of fact, North Carolina lias taken tlmd place in rank among the States of the Union showing increases during the five-year period. In 1920 there were listed in the farm census of North Carolina 208, 763 farms, while the farm census of 1925 gives the State 283,495 farms an actual increase of ! 3,7,3;; farms, which was an increase of 5.1 per cent. Texas, which showed the larg tst increase in accii.il numbers, amounting to 30,337, shewed a gain of but 7 per cent, while California, *?ith an increase of 18 743 farms, showed a gain of 15.9 per cent. In Texas there were 436,033 farms in 1920 and 466,429 in 1925, while Cali fornia there were 117.6/0 farms in j 1920 and 136,413 in 1925. Texas, it | will be noted, ha3 a vast ly greater i number of farms than North Carolina, ! but the North Carolina farms far I outnumber those of California. The . greatest gain per cent in the number of farms is shown in Nevada, with 23.7 per cent though in actual num ber of farms the gain was only 749, the 1920 enumeration showing 3,912 farms, the 1925 giving 3,912. The Department of Commerce in its figures, lisis North Carolina with i the South Atlantic states, the state ! being easily the leader in b /"; the 1 period in this group. Delaware gain | ad but 117 farms in the five-year j period; Maryland gained 1,089; Vir ; ginia 7,478; West Virginia 3,088, and ■ Florida, 5,197. Georgia, which ranked j next to North Carolina in this group I in the number of its farms in 1925, ; these 249,098, shows a decrease in i the period of 61,634 farms or 19.8 per cent. South Carolina, which in 1925 i3 credited with having 172,762 farms, shows the next bad flop in the number of its farms, having lost 19,931 or 10.3 per cent in the five year period. In the east-southcentral group there were decreases by all the States in the number of their farms, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, while in the west-south central, Arkansas and Louisiana lost In number, while Texas and Oklahama gained. The District of Columbia, which is in the group with North Carolina, lost 65 farms in the five year period, falling from 204 to 139 farms. “C. R. Webb Qualifies.” “From The Pilot.” “Mr. C. R. Webb general agent at Shelby. N. C., went over the top in the Pilot Club with a total of $114, 500. “Readers of The Pilot will remem ber that Mr. Webb came with the company in August, and that Septem ber was his first full month as n Pilot agent. We do not know of any other man who has qualified for mein I bership in the Pilot Club so soon aft I er coming with the company, and we heartily congratulate Mr. Webb on the record which he has made.” It isn’t very difficult to carry on a conversation if you know how to pro nounce psychology. The old-fashioned man who used t'. break horses has a son whose auto mobile breaks him. Saturday Webb theatre present Buf falo Bill in a big western drama, of love intrigue and fighting. There will I be a- screaming comedy and the Fabler all for the price of a single show. Subscribe To The Tri-Weekly Star LUCK WITH FUTURE (Gastonia Gazette) The Cleveland Star, that fine community and county newspaper of Snelby and Cleveland coun ty. goes on a tri-weekly basis this week. The wonder is that Lee Weathers has not started it sooner. He is going to give it a trial, ha says, uni:! the first of the year, and if business does not justify the change, he w ill go back to the semi-we< k ly. Our prediction is that the next change the Star makes will be from a tri weekly to a daily, and not far away at that. Shelby is too good a town to be long without its own daily paper. And when Florida boosters locate right out of Shelby, and get started going, there will be further need of a daily. The Star is one of the out standing papers in North Car olina and The Gazette wishes it much good fortune in the fu^ ture. Cotton Sentiment Is More Bearish Market Opened 10 to 13 Points Down.
