Payment and Penalties for
Franklin County in 19.-W
The County Committee of
Franklin County is as much inter
ested in the cooperation of farm
ers in Franklin County toward
earning the largest payments un
der the Agricultural Conservation
Program for the County as farm
ers are in earning their largest
payment on individual farms. To
determine this information, the
farms of Franklin County have
been summarized for the purpose
?f determining the payments pos
sible under the Program and the
payments actually received by far
mers for their compliance with
the 1938 Prograip. Franklin
County farmers could have earned
a tobacco payment of $79,133 but
deductions were made for over
planting tobacco of $24,547, leav
ing a net tobacco payment of
$54,586. Likewise. Franklin Coun
ty farmers were eligible to receive
$100,243 in cotton payments but
deductions were made for over
planting of }1,612, leaving net
cotton payment of $98,631. The
total wheat payment for Franklin
County was $47 which was earn
ed. Franklin County farmers
were eligible to receive $30,612
for carrying out the required soil
building practices. However, prac
tices were carried out in suffic
ient quantity only to earn $20,694.
leaving a sum of $9,918 unearned.
Small payments were adjusted
21.8% due to the automatic in
crease set up in the Program to
assist the small farmer, bringing
to the County a net figure of
$37,923, making to.tal payments
after all adjustments had been
nnrirervJ $211,881.
The following amount was lost
to the County by failure to com
ply 100%

planting tobacco ... . $24,547
Deductions for over
planting cotton 1,612
Amount lost by failure
to carry out soil
building practice .... 9,918
Total Deductions .... $36,077
Adjusted figure for small pay
ments of $7,865 added to this
would make a sum of $43,942.00
that Franklin County lost by fail
ure to comply with the Agricul
tural Conservation Program
100%.
ine i.ouniy ?.ommuiee nas
unanimously agreed that the loss
of $9,918 for failure to carry out
KOil building practices is detrimen
tal to the Program and to the far
mer. Every farmer cooperating
with the Agricultural Conserva
tion Program has an opportunity
of earning his largest soil build
ing payment. The Soil Conserva
tion Program is offering to the
farmer Grants of Aid of phos
phate, lime, vetch and Austrian
Winter peas which can be secured
as a loan through the Program
with payment for same to be tak
en from Soil Building Payment.
These materials, when applied on
land will carry out units necessary
to earn the largest soil building
payment. However, the real pur
pose in carrying out these units is
not to earn the payments made
undrt*- the Agricultural Program
but to assist in Justifying the ex
penditures of the Federal Govern
ment through the improvement
caused by planting legumes, turn
ing under green manure crops,
terracing, and liming, using phos
phate, for the purpose of protect
ing and improving the soil.
Mr. L. T. Weeks, Extension To
bacco Specialist from State Col
lege. assisted in starting tobacco
fertilizer (est on the farm of Jos
eph A. Perry. Louisburg. N. C.,
R 4. Six different fertilizer ma
terials were used in the test in
small plots of uniform Durham
Sandy Loam Soil. After fertilizer
was sowed, a cotton plow was run
in furrow to thoroughly mix fer
tilizer in soil. Then land was pre
pared by listing with turning plow
on which was used a large wing.
Mr. T. H. Weldon, Henderson,
N. C., R 2, was visited for the pur
pose of observing Lespedeza Va
riety and fertilizer tests. A good
stand of Lespedeza was found on
all plots with very little differ
ence, if any, in the size of Lespe
deza being noted where complete
fertilizer, lime, phosphate and
potaBh was used on separate plots
in 1938. All lespedeza produced
on these plots In 1938 was left on
land.

WEEKLY TOBACCO
NEWS LETTER
Henderson, May 12. ? With ex
cellent weather conditions over
Vance and eight surrounding
counties during the past week,
farmers have made rapid progress
in preparing land and transplant
ing plants. Between 75 and 80 per
cent of land has been prepared, .
and slightly over 35 per cent has
been transplanted. With clear J
weather next week, this latter ]
percentage will be more than 1
doubled, although if land does not ]
receive some rain this week-end, I
many growers will have to water,
plants. Majority of plants set dur
ing the first of this week are tak
ing hold now. and very little re
planting has been done. I
Some few growers report short
age of plant's, however, from
neighbors and sevaral planjt beds
for sale, these farmers will obtain i
enough for their demands. Present}
conditions indicate an increased
acreage of 8 to 10 per cfent, how- 1
ever, due to the unusually low
yield per acre in this county last I
year, poundange will be increased
considerably more than acreage
increase indicates. Fertilizer tax
tags Indicate an increase of only
five per cent over the state, how- 1
ever, considerable cotton land has
been converted to tobacco this
year, which will raise the percen
tage shown by tax tags
Reports from Sales Supervisors
on markets to the South show very
favorable conditions with plant
ing, of course, advanced over this
area, with acreage increases
slightly larger than in Vance and
surrounding counties. ? Fred M.
Allen. Jr., Supervisor of Sales,
Henderson Tobacco Market.
UNIFORMITY
Uniform standards for fruit
and vegetables packages lower
marketing costs and protect con
sumers against short-weight mea
sures, says L. P. Watson, exten
sion horticulturist at State Col
lege.
There is a proverb that admon
ishes one to live every day so you
can look every man in the eye and
tell him to go to blazes. Fair
enough, only don't tell hira!

<141,010 TREES
Buncombe County farmers
planted 641,010 tree seedlings on
633 acres during the 1938-39
planting season for controlling
erosion, says W. Riley Palmer, as
sistant farm agent.
PROMISING
During the past five years re
sults at the Kentucky Experiment
Station showed that clipping the j
silks and end of the corn husk be
yond the cob, just after pollina- I
tion, was a promising method for I
the control of cutworm.

LOW - BACK PAIN
During this Season, when farmers are busy in
cultivation ami planting,' ami hobby-gardeners
are lushing to get all early work (lone in making
a good garden ? Many backs develop a "pain,"
a "catch" or achiness". Why !
There is an overstrain on nerves and muscles
due to the awkward position maintained so long
at a time. Often times a chronic back trouble
may develop from these "backaches". Consult
your Doctor of Chiropractic for advice and care
of this condition.
