FERTILIZERS AND
FACTORIES
A number of years ago the
people of North Carolina awoke
to the fact that their farming
lands were worn out. Contin-
ually taking out for years and
years, and putting nothing
back, had drained and sapped
the soil of its once wonderful
fertility. It was becoming
harder and harder for
farmers to produce enough
t carry him from one
year to another. They realiz-
ed something had to be done.
Part of the citizenship turned
to the use of fertilizers; anoth-
er to factories. With the com-
bination of fertilizers and fac
tories a wealthy state lias bt*n
built, ranking today the fif-
teenth state in manufactures,
and an empire state in agricul-
ture.
Mr. J. F. Turner has handed
us a copy of the Concord Times
published in his old home town.
In the paper is an article from
S. H. Hobbs of the editorial
board of the University of
North Carolina, showing what
has been done in that state
during the last two decades.
For the l>enefit of The News
readers who realize the time
has come for us to do some-
thing to better the conditions
here, we reproduce a part of
the article:
"Twenty years ago a Tar
Heel away from home kept the
state of his nativity a secret.
Today lv> i proud of his home-
stead. )|.> vho "n t hi""
are ai. i- u.< heat p.L Hit th«
marvel'achievements of tho
Southern giant that awakened
to his vast powers, has taken
stock of himself and decided to
develop to full maturity his
wonderful possibilities.
"We rank first in cotton pro-
duction per acre and high in
total value of the cotton crops.
"We spent about $60,000,000
per year for fertilizers alone.
"Eighty thousand cotton mill
operatives turn out $318,000,-
000 of output. Of this total
$131,000,000 is created in the
process of manufacture.
"Our rise to the fifteenth
manufacturing state in the Un-
ion has taken place almost en-
tirely during the last twenty
years. During this brief per-
iod the capital employed in
manufacture has risen from
$85,000,000 to $669,000,000.
The value of the yearly out-
put has risen from $85,000,000
to $044,000,000, while the add
ed value by manufacture has
risen from $40,000,000 to
$117,000,000.
"North Carolina has 18
bacco factories capitalized
$130,000,000.
"Our 125 furniture factories
are capitalized at about $16,-
000,000."
What factories and fertili-
zers have done for North Caro-
lina, they will dlo for Northeast
Texas, and especially the
Winnsboro section.
