C. D. OWENS. HOPOCATRUC By G. Chalmers McDermid. I’m just “chock full’ of news eh is week. Came back from a trip thr ugh Eastern North Carolina on .Thursday afternoon, after a 3 day. tear of that State. Snap beans in the Wilmington sec tion look line and will begin move ment about May 23id. I understand that there are 1,200 acres in that '■ec- rion. Present indications are that the <|ua’ity will be excellent, and yields larg •. P tatoes in Bayhoro-Cash Corner section look like ours did last season, tremendous bu.ihe ^ some if them I dropping him ms and some just ginnig t > flower. They wil] begin moving May 2Ktli and w II be well in-j to the the market deal by June 5th to 7th. Other potatoes ate a week or so Inter, and rep rts from Elizabeth City, N rf.lk and Ea. tern Shores if Viiginia state that they will begii) shipp ng about June 15th. They are on time and we are just a little late. Cukes around Mount Olive, Wilming ton, Wallame and Calypso ate grow ing nicely and mi-t plants have about thn “e leaves. Strawber: u * are moving in a big way ah over the Easterp part of the State. Dr. Charles Dearing of 'he WiLaid Experiment station sh ;wed nn- n new “home garden’’ strawberry which was Without adoubt the sweet- <st berry 1 ever hided. He states that this be v ;y (Southlan ) will nit ship well, but they are als.) develop ing two new shipping berries, the Blaknuore and the Belmar, and they an* proving up ve. v nicely. Friend Reader, I hate to say it, but I feel that I ought” to, even If it d «s hurt our feeling-. Those East- 4171 North Caiolina Winners can cer tainly s he.w’ us a thing cr two about farming. They are many years ahead of us when it comes to the small se ,f supporting farm. On a drive from Wilmington to Mount Olive there was barely a quarter cf a mile along the highway that didn’t have some kind cf a small farm, small town, nice farm and town houses, strawbeny packing asheti? and the like. The small farm certainly rules the day in Ea-tem North Carolina. The folks look prosperous* whether they are or not. I cannot vouch for, but things lc< k good. Other sections which we traveled looked the same vray. They have forgotten the large farm idea and have dug their liveli hood ficm small holdings. They have acres and acres of Dutch irn» gladious, *nap beans, lima i, cucumbers, potatoes, oats, rye; barley; paature?, garden peas, peon- M*, strawberries, pecans; soy beans, cotton, corn, narcissus and nursery’ •*tock; but now’heie that we went did we sep big a creages.on farms devoted to one crop. They are half-acre and two acre farmeis. Many of them are doing all cf their cwn work and seemingly arp making a success of it. At Cpstle Hayne, near Wilmington, the farmeis are gradually giving up •mall truck crops and are goinjr into the flower business. They have made a market for their products, through the little cooperative marketing asso ciation which they have. The whole development around Castle Hayne look 4 prosperous. Several farmer* there, who started in ten years ago as ray laborers at $1.50 per day now have pretty little homes, and still prettier barns and field—and all of this in the fate of the greatest de pletion we have ever kn wn. Thrift, hard work, and business-like methods have lone this trick. They are not perfect, and I don’t want’to b? too critical of our method’s, but hmestly, Fiiend Reader, when I think about our s'ip-sh’d, procrasti nating, unbusiness-like methods that some of us practice, and then see what tho-e Tarheels are doing,, it makes me feel—Oh, well, you know who it is. Maybe we’ll get there some time. Magistrate at Blackville.
