The acreage in cotton this year
as shown by the tax report figure
this week, is 7.215 acres less than
the 74.362 acres last year. The crop
of last year was 64,000 bales, a ree
ord. figure for the county.
But this year it is estimated that
the production wlfl.be cut—perhaps
to the extend of displacing ijjt
county as Che'state's biggest cotton
producer—more by a decrease in
fertilization and unfavorable we nth
er than by acreage cut.
fertilization was used to
make this year’s crop than in many
years. Then the season was not -o
good. The weed this year n pool
although cotton Is fruited well
Some estimate that with the
acreage reduction plus the fertilize 1
decrease and bad season the crop
will not go over 40,000 bales, or
24,000 less than last year's record
crop. Tire majority however snv
the final ginning figures will show
a crop between 45 and 50 thousand
bales.
Money Ketum
Last year's record crop, figured
at the average of six and one-half
cents brought in. not including seed
sales, just a little over two million
dollars, or approximately S2.080.000
If this years production runs to
47,000 bales and sells at 8 1-2 cents
the monetary return would not be
quite as much, or approximate!
$1,997,500. The cost of producing the
crop, however, will be considerably
less, leaving, perhaps, more prof!
than last year's crop, if any. A
crop of 50.000 bales selling this year
at between eight and - nine ceil!
would bring In around $2,125:000
for the cotton alone, and with ;
crop of that size selling at tha!
price the farmers, it is believed,
would be considerably better off
With the county cotton maturing
early, It will not be long until pick
ing time and then some idea of the
harvest season price may be had I!
is figured now that much pickin
will be done by ’his .time n* '
month

I Manufacturers and jobbers are busy
and enjoying the best trade they
have had in several years and many
prices are advanced from the low
which seem to have been reached
early this year.
Mr. Campbell says the leeiing in
New York, however, is that the stock
market cannot hold its : rapid rise
made during the past two or three
weeks. He looks for a break be
cause there is not the. business yet
to justify the upturn. There is »
much better feeling and when pen

price, he looks for improved retail
trade and a stronger stock market.

In Organisation Now Than
In Tear*.
Indications are that Cleveland
county'* first countv-wtde Orange
meeting at the court house here to
morrow. Thursday night, al d
o'clock will be well attended
The speaker will be W Keri
Scott, master of the Orange In
North Carolina and he is pxpected
to tell some ol the details about the
organization, what It means to
farmers and how It will be of value
to farm communities.
The Orange is a secret organiza
tion to which all members of farm
families may belong. It is not mere
ly a cooperative selling organization
for farmers, but an organization
devoted to the general upbuilding
of farm interests in the home arid
otherwise. It is a very strong or
ganization In the west and north
eastern section and is spreading in
the south. Numerous local Granges
have been organized In North Caro
lina in recent months ,one being
In the El Bethel section of Cleve
land county. It Is planned to, form
many others by fall, and It is be-j
Heved that quite a number will be
organized in this county following
the meeting here Thursday night.
The first national convention of
tire Grange ever to be held in the
south will meet in Winston-Salem
this fail.
That local farmers are interested
is shown by the following comment
by a county farmer. "We farmers
are realizing now more than we
ever have before that If we are to
be saved we must save ourselves.
Heretofore we have depended upon
promises and political and legisla
tive relief, but we see now that it
Is up to us to work out our own
salvation. We can do this only by
organizing ourselves and sticking
together as-do people in other call
ings of life. I do not know yet all
that I would like to know about the
Orange, but I am told that, it is the
[only nation-wide farm organization
I that has stood up and gained in
strength through the years, and
naturally the more members and
organizations It has the stronger
and more beneficial it, will be

Car Crashes Claimed 54 Lives In
State In July; Over 300 Injured
Total 344 Injured In Accidents.
Slight Decrease In Fatalities
From Same Period 1931.
Raleigh. Aug. 24-—Automobiles
killed 54 persons in North Carolina
in July and injured 344 more in ac
cidents, according to figures releas
ed by L. S. Harris, chief of the auto
mobile license division of the de
partment of revenue. This brings
the total number of automobile cas
ualties in the state so far this year
to 334 killed and 2.548 injured. In
the same period last year, up to Au
gust 1. 373 persons were killed and
2,593 injured.
In July of last year 68 persons
were killed and 462 injured in 301
accidents, thus showing a decrease
of fourteen in the number of killed
and to 118 in the number of injured
in July of this year as compared
with the corresponding month of
last year. For the seven-month pe
riod, there is a decrease of 39 killed
ind 45 injured this year as compar
'd with last year.
This decease In the number of •
tilled and injured is ascribed by |
Harris partly to the decrease in the
number’ of cars on the highways [
and less traffic, although he agrees
that the records show most of the
accidents were on toads where
there was little or no traffic. He
also believes that the steady cam
paigns of the last few years for
safer and saner driving, together
! with safer and better automobile
construction Is helping to reduce
the number of accidents.
"The records show, however, that
carelessness and recklessness con
tinue to be the principaT causes of
most of the accidents.” Harris said.
“For every month reckless driving
and excessive speed top the list
among the causes of automobile ac
cidents.”
Of those killed in duly fourteen
were pedestrians, while 29 pedes
trians were injured, while fourteen,
were killed and 200 injured in col
lisions between automobiles. Only
22 were killed and 69 injured in
non-collision accidents.
Drunken drivers were responsible
for eleven fatal and 28 non-fatal
crashes, while reckless drivers caus
ed fourteen fatal and 60 non-fatal ac j
ridents. Speeding was given as the!
cause of twelve fatal and 21 non-,
fatal crashes. Hit-and-run drivers!
killed three injured ten persona.
