Belt - The suit filed against employees of the Tobacco Association by J. A. Wade, a farmer of Halifax County Virginia has created only mild interest among the member* ot the association, according to all accounts. What has become an annual barrage of hostile and sensational publicity against the organized tobacco growers is timed as usual to precede the opening of the as sociation's markets in South Caro lina. Members wearisomely re call the buugling attempt of three young men from South Boston to start an insurrection and collect "subscription" to "show up the associations" which occurred at just this time last year. According to the Dews from Danville, where the present suit is filed ''There is a shrewd suspi cion that the action has been fos tered largely in South Boston by the same element which sought to destroy the association last sum mer." The Having of hundreds of thousands of dollars for the asso ciation and its aid members by the men who came to its and redried its tobacco for from 25 cents to 50 cents cheaper per hundred pounds than the price which other redriers would have forced the association to pay, was 'good business, good morals and good economy fur-the association" ac cording to Oliver J. Sands of Richmond, Public Director for the association in Virginia. Public officials from three states who were invited to invest igate the affairs of the association stated many weeks ago in their re port that they had jjone very thoroughly into its redrying poli cies. In the words of the Direct ors of Extension, the Commisaiou 3re of Agriculture, the Chief of the Bureaus of Markets and edit ors of farm papers from Virginia, North Carolina and South Caro lina. "The committee believe* that the association saved its members at least 25 ceuts per hundred pounds in redrying costs on the 1923 crop anil perhaps 50 cents per hundred in redrying cost on a part of the 1924 crop. The asso ciation got a la rge part of its tobac co redried at $1.75 per 100 in -1923 due to this basic price. Dur ing 1924 the Edmouson Tobacco Company further reduced its charges for re-dryihg to $1.50 per hundred pounds." Director Sauds when told of the m\t last week declared "It is lud icrous to allege that a net profit of $500,000 has been made by the very parties who effected a saviug of hundreds of thousand of dol for the association." The public director for Virginia character ized the suit as a last ditch fight to discredit the association and impede its further progress. According to the statement of Robert Wade, the yonng attorney who is most active in the suit, representatives of Efonry Font's legal stafi will come shortly into the tobaeco section, for the pur pose, be says, of securing data to contest Sapiro's damage suit filed against Ford. The recent warning of Dr. J. Y. Joyner to the farmers which was made by the veteran worker and organizer of the association when be announced that lie would re tire from a salaried position with the association to serve it without j»y, seems especially timely In of the effort* now being ex pended in the annul attack a gainat the farmers of Virginia aud ihe Carollnaa who are organizing their own business. "In this fight Cor economic freedom and «eonomie justice for our farmers, we are now standing at the Mane," aaid Dr. Joyner, in bid ding hi* associates farewell, and declared that "arrayed against us are-powerful forces, strongly en trenched, perfectly organized, powerfully financed, determined in their own interest to destroy ui ifcis year if they eaa. M , Growers Save Money By Poultry Shipments- A report prepared by V. W. Lewis, livestock marketing spec ialist for the State Division of Market**, shows that those poultry growers of North Carolina who took advantage of the cooperative carlot shipments of poultry and eggs this spring saved a total of *28,578.48, The shipments began on March 20 and closed on June 20. Dur ing that time through the efforts of the home and farm demonstra tion agents at State College, the teachers of agriculture iu the high schools and the marketing specialists, 404,285 puuudf of poultry and 3,151 caHen of eggs were shipped. Iu addition to the eggs shipped a total of 15,530 ?ases were stored iu a cold storage plant in Wilraiuglou to await, tne higher prices of the winter months. Mr. "When we be gan this work, live hens were cell ing iu the territory indicated at from 17 to 20 cents per pound and only iu a few iuslaucts did the producers get as much as 20 eeuts. All but six cars of this (siultry brought a price of from 22 to 25 cents per pound at the car door." Farmers takiug pari in this movement saved at least four cents por pound by seliiui coop eratively in addition to tlie fact of having a market brought to their home towns. The move ment spread and some, counties made shipments not included in ihe amount given. Vance coun ty, for instance, made two ship ments in cooperation with the marketing agents of a railroad; Rutherford county shipped 43,741 pounds and the Fanners' Federa tion of Asheville shipped UR),Ot/0 pounds. Indications are that this mover ment will grow in volume and im portance in 1926 and Mr. Lewis states that thero is now no louger any excuse for growers not make ing money with poultry. All that is needed, he says, is for the pro ducers to get behind some organ ized movemeut to help them selves. Two Lots of Pigs Compared by Shay. How it pays to fe««d on full rations aud sell them when the market is hiirh is shown by W. W. Shay, swine oxteiisiou specialist at State College, who compares the methods used by two iarmers who had two lots of weanling pigs last February. Mr. Shav states that each man had plenty of corn. Oue of .them, regardless of the high price for corn, put his pigs on full feed and sold them early in July at au average weight of 200 pounds each 928 per pig. He made a profit over the cost of produc tion of sl3 per pig aud they re turned over $2.25 per bushel -for the corn consumed. But tbe second man didn't like to feed high priced corn, NO be decided to carry his pig* on pas tare, with little extra feed. uul.il the present corb and soylie.-in crop would be available, ilia pigs, the same age a* those bo longing to fanner A, averaged on ly CO pouudH in July ami are uot worth at tbis time, tbe sl3 which Farmer A received an profit. Mr. A has a profit equal to the total value of each of Farmer B'a pigs and is now planning to sell pigs -farrowed in July on tbe April market at an average weih> of 225 pounds eacb. In the mean time, Farmer B will sell bis corn for $1.50 per bushel. Mr. Shay states that Mr. B will put most of the growth on his pigs while ooru is quoted at a lower m«rket price than it was while Mr. A was selling his through the hogs for $3 25 per bushel. Each of these men produced their corn at about 75 oenta per bushel. Mr. B sold his eoru for 75 cents per buahel less tbau Mr. A. received for his aold aa pork. This ahows, states Mr. Shay, that that the total oost is not low ered by limiting the feed and pro longing the life of tbe pigs. Good farmers in North Carolina are now taking advantage of the market trend and selling bogs of high quality either during the late spring or early fall wben competition from tbe Corn Belt is not so keen. Valuable feed may Im> saved by culling the poultiy flock this sum mer. Those heoe that molt early, that are old and inactive'are gen erally boarders and ahonld be sold or put in the pot. W. 0. Davis of Upper HallfNx inspected 21 farms and found the boll weevil doing damage in a majority of the fields visited. Mr. Davis statea that the farmers of Halifax are now learning to make infestation counts so a* to tell when dusting is needed. * 'THE ALAMAHOI dUU**£, (HUtUM. H. a Some Cotton Affected , ; With Growth Trouble- Rickets and scurvy in human boiugs because of improper nour ishment or lack of food find a counterpart in plants, slates Dr. F. A. Wolf, plant pathologist at State College, who has recently received specimens of cotton plants affected with a growth trouble known as Tomosis. Tomoais seems to be prevalent this year in the territory extend ing from Stanley to Franklin County and in some fields of this section over half the plants are affected. They appear to be dwarfed and there is a crumpling and distortion of the leaves and branches much as rickets affects the human being. Dr. Wolf states that this t rouble was discover©ffiirst about twelve years ago and since that time it has lieen found, at times, over the entire cotton growing districts of the World. The worst injury usually occurs at the seedling ptage though a few injured leaves may be found later. The badly affected and normal plants may occur side by s'de on the row and t hero is no evidence to show that the fertilizer will have !iuy effect. When the injury is severe, the terminal bud is thrown off and several branches are formed iu its stead so that the plant is crippltd or deformed. Such plants will not recover and will prodiue few er bolls thau their normal neigh bors. ) Dr. Wolf states that the most hopeful feature of the whole mat ter is that the disorder is tempor ary and that there is generally a rapid and complete recovery under ideal weather conditions for cot ton. It is unt a disease, states Dr. Wolf, but a growth disorder and though it may affect the total yield of cotton in the field, each plant so affected will generally produce some seed cotton. State Fair Now Public Institution- The North Carolina State Fair is now more of a public institution than ever before. Not only is it supported by public funds but it is also governed by a Board of Directors representing North CH rolinaaud particularly the State College of Agriculture and the Slate Department of Agriculture. For this reason it should be supported by people from all sec tions of the State and not alone by those who live adjacent to Raleigh, believes O. Max Gard ner, President of the Fair this year. Mr. Gardner believes that farmers particularly should start at this time to select and prepare attractive and worth while exhib its for the fair this fall. This must be done, be sayx, if these exhibits are to compete success fully for pnblic attention aud in terest with the amusement feat ures of the fair. The North Carolina State Fair is primarily an educational insti tution ana if it, is to fulfill its purpose, quality must be oue of the outstanding considerations iu preparing exhibits. This applies to the individual entries of prod ucts in the fteld crops, horticul tural and livestock departments as well as in the county, individ ual, farm and oommuuily exhib its," says President Gardner. The State Fair this year will run the entire week of October 12. A number of -new classes hsve bee* opened for oompetitiou, especially for livestock growers, and uo livestock man need fear that his animals will have to oom pete this year with the animals KNMtn in another State unless he FOR OVER 4# YEARS BALLI CATUUUI KBDKINM baa bM| ueod to Um trtalmcnt of Catarrh.
