tobacco well. _i
. POULTRY SUGGESTIONS
A little neglect may cost you
many dollars. Keep that in mind
in caring for the pullet flock during
the late summer and fall.
See that they are well fed on
growing mash, whole oats and
green feed. The growing mash
helps build a good egg factory.
Corn puts weight on the bird and
lays on a reserve of fat for the
heavy laying period. Oats furnish
fiber, help resistance against
disease, feather picking, blow outs
or prolapses. Green feed furnishes
succulence, minerals and vitamins,
and is rich in other essential food
factors.
A liberal supply of green feed
cuts feed bills and helps to grow
q honifhv millet Oreen feed
is more important during the
growing stage than it is after the
pullets come into laying, but even
then it helps to reduce the feed

WASHINGTON. July 29.?Politics
and foreign affairs continue
to mingle in all conversations in
this hot and humid world center.
Congress is expected to concentrate
on several items of national
defense this week. They are
again settling down after three
weeks of sporadic recesses. There
is some concern mat the solons
may be inclined to handle only
emergency matters and postpone
langtrange subjects, such as the
pending excess profits tax.
The under-cover tug-of-war between
advocates of quick action
in preparedness programs and the
revenue-grabbers will probably
come out in the open shortly. The
amortization policy relating to
production for defense is unsettled,
but pressure is increasing for
a break in the stalemate. In the
end it is expected the Treasury
will be forced to yield to emergency
conditions and permit
separate Congressional action, on
the tax issue now preventing
building of special factories for
essential war materials.

gressional circles to keep the
compulsory matter on a non-political
basis. With several millions
required to register for training
under the terms of pending measures
the subject is bound to have
political repercussions. Several
million men will be carrying registration
cards containing intimate
details of their lives before
elections thus making each member
of their family conscious of
the liabilities for defense g>urposes.
Congress seems determined
to soften the economic and social
effect of forced military training
by inserting safeguards protecting
the jobs of draftees. Surveys
have indicated that many women
who would normally oppose military
training for their sons, husbill
and insures better health of
the flock.
For late summer grazing and
green feed, sowed young green
cbrn is being used to good advantage,
as well as Sudan grass,
wheat, oats, barley, soybeans and
alfalfa. Plant a green feed crop
for the pullets now if ample grazing
has not already been provided
for the flock. It is a good paying
investment.
DONT RUIN GOOD PULLETS
Many poultry raisers ruin their
pullets by rushing them with laying
mash because egg prices are
rising -sharply in August. Let
the pullets mature normally on
the growing mash, corn, oats and
green feed. Wait until they reach
as much as 20% production before
changing to a laying mash.
Never move a flock from one
house to another and change feed
-* Anh.
a i uiu isamc utile:, tuanc uiuj
one change at a time. Feeding
laying mash too early or feeding
the pullets too heavy on wheat
may rush them into laying before
full maturity is reached. This results
in a long period of small
eggs when the flock does come
into production.

bands and brothers are less antagonistic
since official assurances
have been given that no overseas
service is contemplated.
Closely tied with the compulsory
training plan is a strong
demand, particularly in the Senate,
for drafting capital at the
same time. Senator Lee, of Oklahoma,
introduced a bill a few
days ago intended to draft money
in time of war, and possibly now,
instead of borrowing it on a voluntary
basis. Lee wants to reach
tax exempt bonds and other tax
escape devices. Senator Wheeler,
of Montana, has conscription of
profits in an emergency when men
jare drafted into the military servj
ice. Members of the Senate Finance
Committee have pointed out
! that it will be practically impossible
for industry or business
to wax fat in profits from military
preparedness under the
terms of the excess profits bill
now awaiting action in the Senate
and House.
This third term issue is shaping
to a point where Congress
! may be used as a forum on the
subject. A Senate Judiciary subcommittee
has indicated a willingness
to conduct open hearings
on a long-buried resolution proposing
to limit a Presidential
' term. The chairman of the subI
committee is none other than
Senator Burke, of Nebraska, a
leader of the anti-third term
movement. Whether the proRoosevelt
Senators are strong
enough to block such proceedings
will not be known for several
days. Some years ago the Senate
went on record as opposed to
a President succeeding himself
at the end of a second term.
These hearings will, of course,
offer a spring-board for publicity
on the question and place the
Roosevelt forces on the defensive
early in the campaign. It is claimed
that several Democratic legislators,
who are privately against
another term for Mr. Roosevelt,
will be obliged for reasons of
I political expediency to defend his
I position.
The status of Henry Wallace,
the Democratic vice-presidential
candidate, is stirring ac rumpus in
both camps. The storm over his
' retention of his portfolio in the
| cabinet may subside when the
[notification ceremonies, an unnecessary
and time-worn ritual,
lace's resignation as Secretary of
are concluded next month. WalAgriculture
is in the offing. His
friends are reluctant to see him
relinquish this powerful position
where he distributes largesse in
the form of government bounties
to farmers under the Agricultural
Adjustment Act. The political
ramifications of a candidate with
money bags are enormous. The
official Department report this
week reveals "government payments
in the first 6 months of
1940 amounted to 410 million dollars,
compared with 414 million
dollars in the corresponding period
last year".
Signs continue to multiply that
our legislators are chafing under
the necessity of remaining in
Washington. They do not dare
return to their homes because
their political opponents will
[make capital out of their absence
from duty. On the other hand,
they are concerned that their rivals
will undermine their standing
with the constituents at a time
when they cannot be on the
ground to personally combat these
campaign tactics. The responsibilities
for re-election must be delegated
to their lieutenants in their
home districts. While there is
nothing unusual in the use of the
Congressional Record as a propaganda
device by sitting lawmakers,
the trend of the comment
appearing in this official
publication indicates that many
of the incumbents are in desperate
straits. A typical campaign
document appeared this week in
the Congressional Record under
"Extension of Remarks" or undelivered
speeches. Representative
John Griffith, of Louisiana, apparently
irritated by his rivals
in the Congressional district he
now represents printed a rebuttal
in which he supplied the caption
"My own record as compared
with my predecessor". He
then proceeded to recite his devotion
to his official duties, such
as answering roll calls and voting.
He frankly denied that he
had "sold the sugar interests
down the river". Sugar is an important
product of Louisiana.
STRIP-CROPPING AIDS
IN FIGHTING EROSION
Strip-cropping, virtually unknown
in North Carolina until
within the past decade, has now
become a common sight in areas
subject to soil erosion, according
to W. D. Lee, soil conservationist
of the State College Extension
Service.
He explained that the Soil
Conservation Service has developed
two types of strip cropping,
one known as annual and the
other as perennial. Each of these
types plays a definite role in a
sound conservation program.
In this section, kudzu and lespedeza
sericea generally are
grown in perennial strips. Hay
produced in these strips enables
farmers to turn under for soil
improvement a larger proportion
of the vegetation grown in annual
strips instead of harvesting
these annual crops for hay.

himself declined to comment.
W. Kerr Scott, commissioner ol

said: "The South has been callec

is well to consider a man wh(
knows the problems of the Soutl
in seeking a solution to the agri

The movement apparently wa:
started by Harry B. Caldwell o!
Greensboro, master of the Nortt

Roosevelt that "The farmers 01
North Carolina and the South wil
heartily appreciate the appoint
ment of Dr. Poe as secretary ol
agriculture, not only because hi
understands their problems, bu'
because his life has been devotee
to the best interest of agriculturi
both in his home state anc

Dr. I. O. Schaub, dean of agri

was out of the city, but F. H

AMPLE CARE URGED
FOR. PULLET FLOCK
I Poultrymen caring ror msu
j pullet flock during the later sumI
mer and fall should keep in mine
'that a little neglect now may b<
'costly later, says C. F. Parrish
poultryman of the State College
Extension Service.
The good poultryman will see
that his birds are well fed or
growing mash, whole corn, whole
oats, and green feed. Here's whj
these items are so important ir
the pullet's diet:
The growing mash helps tc
build a good egg factory. Corr
puts weight on the bird and lays
on a reserve of fat for the heavj
laying period. Oats furnish fiber
and help built resistance againsl
disease, feather-picking, and pro.
lapses. Green feed furnishes sue

and is rich in other essentia]
