Halifax County leads most of the eastern counties in some branches of real farming.
Mr. Perry Johnson, a farmer of that county, sells his milk in Norfolk in large quantities and at a good profit.
The Messrs. Kitchin and Josey have a real poultry farm and sell their specially guaranteed eggs to their New York dealer at figures away above the open market.
Mr. Chas. J. Shields and Brother have shipped many carloads of fat hogs to the Baltimore market this year Their last carload sold for 15 ½ cents on the hoof and brought them a check for $1,786.26.
The Scotland Neck Poultry Association is shipping 25 crates of eggs each week to New York, where they have established a brand with the dealers, and they get a premium.
Martin is not fully measuring up to the Halifax standard, though Mr. J. S. Whitley has shipped two carloads of hogs this year which brought him top prices. Mr. H. C. Green is also handling his eggs at a price above the market.
