Resettlement Plans
The Rehab
*Plans
to expedite the rural re- I
habilitation program in North '
Carolina whereby farm families
are being taken off relief rolls
and helped to economic independence
were announced today by
the Resettlement Administration. I
Homer H. B. Mask, of Raleigh,
Regional Director, Rural Resettlement,
also made public new
regulations to govern extension
of rehabilitation loans.
Farm families now on relief
rolls, or farm families which have c
exhausted credit sources in an
attempt to keep off relief, are t
Eligible to apply for rehabilita- b
ticn loans. Families will be selec- a
ted on the basis of experience,
haracter and ability to conduct
farming operations. n
"The purpose of these rehabili- ej
tation loans," said Mr. Mask, "is /
to provide employment and to assist
farm families in making their
own way. We are extending loans it
to families which satisfy the Resettlement
Administration of their
desire and ability to become selfsupporting
if given some small gc
assistance "in the form of a loan j g(
with which to carry on farming m
operations. Funds which the Re-1 g(
settlement Administration is ad- j _r
vancing must be repaid." j
In Region IV, comprising the to
states of Kentucky, North Caro-1 wj
lina, Tennessee, Virginia, and e(
West Virginia, 19,359 farm fami- j
lies are now receiving such aid
through the rehabilitation pro-1
gram formulated last year by the j p0
Federal Emergency Relief Admin- ha
'stration. Families accepted under Jjn
he past program have been tran- j geiferred
to the Resettlement Ad- jn.
ninistration, and will continue to ?j(
eceive loans in accordance with jjy
previous agreements. i
Additional applications for re-1 ge
habilitation loans are now being! ]m
considered. Careful investigations je(
are made of each applicant's as- ne
sets and record before action is da
taken on the application. j^e
"The nature of this program," |g
Mr. Mask said, "demands close re.
attention to each family's prob- Ki
lem. It is hoped that the exten- pr
sion of a loan will make it pos- q0
sible for these families to become
self-supporting. In each county \y
the farm and home demonstra- fn
tion agents are available to work
out a sound management plant ^
fc-hich will offer the best oppor- I.
tunity for profit. Loans will be ^
extended only after all details
covering the investment of money,
and a plan of repayment,
have been worked out."
If their individual farm plans
require it, farmers will be finan- j
ced with loans to purchase farm j
tools, livestock, feed, fertilizer, i
building material, and other needed
equipment. When necessary,
loans may also be utilized for the 1 sp
payment of land rent, farm labor! 4,(
and breeding fees, as well as for th
needed food and clothing. in
"We are not going to extend in
loans to help families try to th
make a living on submarginal 15
land," Mr. Mask emphasized, cc
"Good farmland is the first requisite
in carrying out a practical be
farm operation such as these re-1 th
habilitation plans constitute." I ca
Rehabilitation loans will be ex- th
tended for terms probably rang-1 th
ing from two to five years. Five | cc
percent interest will be charged.! th
Amortization plans in general; th
will provide for retirement of the' Ti
principal in two to five equal in-1 ci
stallments. ! tr

Swine Exhibits
State Fair Offers $1,400 In
Premiums, With $136 Going
For Barrows
There will be a total of $1,400
offered in premiums in the Swine i
Department by the management
of the North Carolina State Fair
this year. One hundred and thirty-six
dollars of this amount will
be offered for barrows and the
balance of $1,264 will be divided
equally among the four principal
breeds that are recommended
for North Carolina, namely Poland
China, Duroc Jersey, Berkshire
and Hampshire. The amount
of $316 offered on each of
these four breeds will be distributed
according to a standard
classification.
The barrow show should be
especially interesting to club boys
and girls and to breeders of commercial
pigs. Then too, if a sufficient
number of barrows are
shown to make up a carload
there should be some spirited bid-1
ling among commission men and
local butchers for not only the
prize winners but for all those
that are shown.
During former years there has
seen a certain amount of lati-1
:ude allowed on the ages of the
iifferent animals but this year
;he fair expects to adhere stricty
to the base dates of March
Lst and September 1st.
The increase in prices of pork
las greatly stimulated the inter;st
in hogs and apparently there
ire going to be quite a few outitanding
breeding animals offerid
for sale by the exhibitors in
he Swine Department. No one I
:an tell just how high prices for
ive hogs will go but certainlyj
he present price of around $12 j'
>er cwt.. is more encouraging to
he farmer than the less than j
14 price received last year.
All animals entered for exhi
rition must be in place not la- ,
er than 10 a. m. Monday, Oc-;
ober 14th, and will be released j
it 4 p. m. Saturday, October 19. j

Burn Stalks To
Check Weevils
I North Carolina Cotton
Growers Are Being Urged
To Wage a Stiff Battle
Against Pest This
Year
North Carolina cotton growers
are being urged to wage a stiff
battle against boll weevils this
fall to prevent heavy infestation
of the crop next year.
So widespread were the infestations
this season that many of
the weevils will survive the winter
unless they are destroyed in
the fall, said C. H. Brannon, extension
entomologist at State
College.
As soon as the cotton has been
picked, he said, the growers
should cut down all the stalks
and plow them under.
Cutting the stalks deprive the
weevils of their food, and plowing
the stalks under will kill
weevils which might otherwise
survive the winter.
If the stalks are left to grow
until frost, the weevils will approach
winter in a healthy vigorous
condition, Biannon added,
and they will be well able to
withstand the cold weather.
An ounce of prevention is
worth several pounds of cure, he
declared, and the destruction of
boll weevils in fall and winter is
one of the best control methods
known.
Furthermore, he added, the
quicker that the stalks can be
cut and plowed under, the better
is the chance of destroying most
of the weevils.
Lespedeza on the farms of M.
S. Burnette and J. D. Burnette
near Scaly in Macon County is
arowine- successfully at an ele
vation of 3,500 feet.
at 2 p. m. Monday, October 14.
Judges will start with the Poland
China breed and continue with
the breeds as they are listed in
the premium list until all are
judged.
There are ample pens and a
good arena in which to judge
the swine classes, but you will
take notice from the premium list
that the judging will start Monday
at 2 o'clock instead of on
Tuesday morning. This will, of
course, mean that the Poland
China breeders will have to get
their animals penned Sunday or
early Monday morning so that
the brushing and washing can be
all done so as to be ready to
drive the aged boars promptly at
2 o'clock Monday afternoon.

To keep the seed from gettin
