Through The Office Of
The County Agent
Washington, Aug. ,12. ? Contracting
flue-cured tobacco growers
may market tobacco grown
in excess of their present sales
allotments by purchasing the unused
sales allotments of other
contracting growers, and having
their allotments increased in the
County Agent's office, the Agricultural
Adjustment AdministraonwAimnod
la at WW?k.

J. B. Hutson, director of the
Tobacco Division, said that this
arrangement had been developed,
at the request of tobacco growers
from various parts of the belt, so
as to provide needed flexibility
to care for variations in individual
crops due to seasonal conditions.
Growers having large yields
will benefit through sale of their
excess tobacco, while those having
short crops will benefit
through larger payments received
from growers whose crops exceed
their sales allotment.
Producers under both Production
Adjustment Contracts and
Special Base Contracts may take
advantage of the plan. Producers
who sell their unused allotments!
will agree to forego the 1935 ad- j
jjstment payments under their i
contracts.
All arrangements for the marketing
of excess tobacco will be
made through county agent's offices.
Necessary instructions and j
forms will be available at county |
offices in the Georgia-Florida
area around August 7 and at
county offices in other parts of j
the belt when the markets open, j
Producers whose crops fall below
or exceed their sales allot- j
ments may advise their county j
agents who will assist them to i
sell or purchase, as the case may |
be, the unused allotments. Producers
having excess tobacco will
pay 4 cents per pound to the |
producers whose allotments are!
purchased, except in cases where j
individual producers agree on a'
different rate.
Allotment cards for the quantity
of tobacco purchased will be
issued at the county office in the
name of the producer who makes |
the purchase. One producer can-1
not use an allotment card issued
to another producer.
A producer who sells his unused
allotment agrees to divide
the money received from the sale
with any tobacco share-tenants
and share-croppers on the farm
in the same proportion that the;
1935 adjustment payment pro- j
vided by the contract would havei
been distributed had the sale not j
been made.
Mr. Hutson pointed out that!
under the procedure for the 1935 j
season growers will not transfer j
tobacco between allotments but
will have their own sales allot-,
ments increased by the amount
of unused allotment purchased,
thus establishing a record of the
1935 tobacco production on the
farm. He stated that the Growers'
Advisory Committee and extension
workers have approved
the general plan and expect it to
greatly facilitate the marketing
of the 1935 crop. Under this plan
total sales by all contracting
growers will be limited to not
more than the maximum number
of pounds allotted under all contracts.
The County Board of Agriculture
and the county cotton and
tobacco committees are co-operating
to build the agriculture of
Pitt county. The three committees
met recently are proposing
a budget for the farm work of
the county.
A farm tour to study demonstrations
in forestry, trench silos,
bull pens, yard improvement, remodeled
furniture and the like
will be held on August 21 In

j Records kept on the dairy herd
J at State College are considered
| one of the main factors aiding in
[the development of its efficiency j
I and productivity. j
For thirty years complete rec- j
ords have been kept of all milk j
production, cost of production, j
cost of raising young stock, the
amount and kind of feed con- ;
sumed, and the methods used in
I breeding, feeding, and selecting [
! the cattle. j
j The system of herd manage- j
j ment is based on the data thus )
| made available for study in the )
records, said Prof. F. M. Haig, j
of the animal husbandry and
dairying department. j
As a result, he pointed out, j
[during the past eight years the
[average production of the cows
has increased 18 per cent for J
[milk and 15 per cent for butter? )
[with the cost of production drop- }
ping 30 per cent. J
In 1927 the average produc- J
tion of the 37 cows in the herd j
was 7,288 pounds of milk and j
364 pounds of butterfat per cow |
each year, and the cost of pro- j |
ducing 100 pounds of milk was ! {
$2.26. j [
Now the average production is j
8,590 pounds of milk and 417 j
pounds of butter. The cost of j
producing 100 pounds of milk is j

The present herd consists of j j j
90 registered Jersey, Guernsey,,) (
and Holstein cattle. Thirty-four ) j
cows are of milking age. |) j
No cows are kept in the herd i j
unless they can meet the high j j (
standard required. The U. S. De- j j
partment of Agriculture has cer- j |
tified that all the animals are ) (
free from tuberculosis and Bang's j) j

Students use the herd as a j j
laboratory where they may learn j j
by actual practice the solution j j
of numerous herd management j j
problems. Many of the young ; j j

Rid Your System of Malaria! I
Shivering with chills one moment and | j
burning with fever the next?that's one j i
of the effects of Malaria. Unless checked,
the disease will do serious harm to your J
health. Malaria, a blood infection, calls j
for two things. First, destroying the in- 11
fection in the blood. Second, building |) j
up the blood to overcome the effects of I) j
the disease and to fortify against further j)
attack. U 1
Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic supplies t
both these effects. It contains tasteless !
auinine. which kills the infection in the i'
blood, and iron, which enriches and j j
builds up the blood. Chills and fever j j
soon stop and you are restored to health ! !
and comfort. For half a century, Grove's ) |
Tasteless Chill Tonic has been sure relief j J
for Malaria. It is just as useful, too, as a j j
general tonic for old and young. Pleasant j j
to take and absolutely harmless. Safe to i i
give children. Get a bottle at any drug ' j
store. Now two sizes?SOc and $1. The )
$1 size contains 2 l/i times as much as the \
50c size and gives you 25% more for !
your money.
