table will show at a glance how aSTorth Carolina ranks as a manufactur- 

 ing state. While it is not the first in value of manufactured products, 

 it is ahead of a great many others.

No state can turn out such an enormous amount of manufactured 

 products without taxing to the utmost its agricultural resources. Cotton 

 and other raw material for manufacture and food supplies for men and 

 necessary teams must be produced on the farms, or imported from other 

 states. 



While the North Carolina farmer has made rapid strides in every 

 line of agricultural development in the recent past, he is going to make 

 even greater progress in the near future. The inducements for greater 

 efforts are here. Our home markets are calling for more than we can 

 produce with our present methods. 



With the universal introduction of the latest improved implements 

 and the most approved methods of tillage, fertilization, etc., the present 

 annual crop yields can be more than doubled, and there is little doubt 

 that this will be done in the near future. But even then, it is not likely 

 that our present farming population can nearly supply the demands 

 made on them for food and feed products. As our crop yields increase, 

 the demand for the additional output will likewise increase. It would 

 seem, therefore, that a very material addition to our farming population 

 is imperative.
