FARM PRODUCT
PRICES CONTINUE
UPWARD TREND
Washington.—Many farm pro
ducts showed the irregularity up
ward trend of the general commod
ity markets for the first twt> .weeks
of January, according to the Bu
reau of Economics of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Price gains
on livestock were especially en
couraging. Cotton and grain ad
vanced slightly but firmly. Tone
of the dairy markets became bet
ter, and cfieese-market action
strengthened. Trend of the egg
and dressed-poultry market was
irregular but mainly upward. Po
tatoes and onions advanced sharp-
Sjjly as did some varieties of apples.
Increased demand for cotton from
domestic mills continued. Atten
tion is focused on preparations for
the 1934 under the planned
curtailment of 25,000,000 acres.
Market stocks of wheat have been
reduced to about 133,000,000 bush
els, compared witn 171,000,000 in
January 1933. Prices gained on
practically all classes. Rye con
tinued *.'rm. Marketing of corn
Was light. Oats held unchanged.
SAVE LEGUME SEED
TO IMPROVE LAND
■■ ■ 1 '■ 9
North Carolina agriculture is
seriously handicapped by t. lack f
legumes to enrich the soil. If
every farmer should grow his own
seed, legume production could be
easily increased by 1,000,000 acres
in the next two or three years.
"The present scarcity of all
kinds of legume seed demonstrates
that farmers cannot depend upon
the purchase of seed from out
siders to supply their needs," says
Enos C. Blair,- extension agrono
mist at State College. "W. A.
Davis, Johnston county farmer,
has seen the mistake of trying to
cultivate land without legumes and
has provided for an. ample supply
in the future. On his 130 acres of
crop land, 30 acres were devoted
to corn and soybeans last year. He
harvested 75 bushels of soybeans
Without interferring with his corn
crop. From 10 acres in cowpeas,
he gathered 80 bushels by hand.
He also has 10 acres in corn and
velvet beans. The latter have not
been threshed, but will supply all
he needs for 1934. The legume
Vines will also greatly enrich the
soil when turned under."
Mr. Blair says any farmer de
siring to improve his land, can,
with little difficulty, increase his
crop of legumes without seriously
interfering with his money and
food crops. He can start in a
small way and continue to harvest
planting seed until enough has
been secured to plant the desired
acreage each year.

HOW MANY APPLY TO
YOU?
Thirty-two ways to kill an or
ganization are listed in a recent
number of a Trade Journal. Here
are a few that are as applicable to
your society as anywhere else.
Avoid them for they are destruc
tive to your organization:
1. Don't come to meetings.
2. But if you do come, come late.
3. If the weather doesn't suit
you, don't think of coming.
4. If you attend the meetings,
find fault with the work of the
officers and other members.
5. Never accept an office as it
is easier to criticize than to do
things.
6. Nevertheless, get sore if you
are not appointed on a committee,
but if you are, do not attend the
committee meetings.
7. If asked by the chairman to
give your opinion regarding some
important matter, tell him you
have nothing to say. After the
meeting tell everyone how thinfrs
ought to be done.
8. Do nothing more than is ab
solutely necessary, but when other
members unselfishly use their abil
ity, howl that the association is
run by a clique.
9. Hold back your dtps as long
as possible.
10. Don't bother about getting
new members—let the officials do
that.
11. Keep your eye open for
something wrong, and when you
find it-j-resign. \
12. When everything else fails,
blame the officials.—Selected.
When There's
Sickness
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
YOU shut a door so quietly, you
tip-toe here and there.
With ev'ry breath you're breathing
half a breath and half >
pray'r;
Io« hurry to the window ev'ry car
you hear below—
It mny be it's the doctor, though he
left an hour ago.
You know you must be hopeful, but
you're worried through and
through;
You wish that there was something,
only something you could do;
The others seem so noisy (though
they're quiet as a mouse),
But you mustn't get them crying
when there's sickness in the
house.
We're mighty Independent when
they all are well and strong.
And life's a simple matter running
steadily along,
We're planning for the future, for
the daughter, for the son.
And how we'll spend the summer
when the wintertime Is done.
Then, like a cloud at noontime, like
a shadow on the grass,
Death's angel hovers over little lad
or little lass.
You try so hard to hide it, keep the
worry from your face—
But you're feeling mighty helpless
when there's sickness in the
place.
And then to things forgotten in anx
iety we turn.
For often by affliction is the only
way we learn:
We know .the need of something,
and of Someone who will hear
And help us bear the burden of un
certainty and fear.
We pray some strength from hearen,
that we almost had forgot,
Will drive the somber angel from
beside the little cot.
Oh, we're mighty independent when
the world is fine and fair —
But we want the Great Physician
when there's sickness any
where.

IN former years about 90 percent of the tobacco consumed in the Unueil
Kingdom was from the United States, mostly flue-cured. Recently the
consumption of this tobacco has declined, owing to the Increased use of
Empire tobacco, principally that from South Africa and Canada. Tobacco
fro.n Empire countries may be imported under a 50-cent per pound lower
tariff duty than tobacco from other countries.
