Y. Floyd, extension to bacco specialist at N. C. State College. The first thing, he said, is to keep off the market all scrap tobacco and all lower grades which bring less than six cents a pound. ^ Heavy offerings Of inferior and scrap leaf tend to glut the market and depress prices, he pointed out. Fur thermore, a pound of scrap counts just as much on the allotment card as a pound of good tobacco. Since tobacco is a good fertilizer, Floyd stated, growers will find it ad vantageous to slave their scrap for fertilizing .purposes, A ton of weed contains 86.8 pounds of nitrogen, 10 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 114.8 •pounds of potash. But he warned against the use of to bacco to fertilize fields on which to bacco is to be grown next year, as in some cases diseases would be carried over ttr infect the new crop. After the growers hawe sold all their leaf that will bring more than POSTER STAMPS FOR THE CHILDREN Beautiful pioeter stamps, all in col ors, are a regular feature of the Com ic Weekly, which comes regularly with the BALTIMORE SUNDAY AMERI CAN.

This would give the growers four cento a pound for the unused part of their cards and at the same time al low them to keep their inferior weed at home. However, Floyd pointed out, con tract signers whose allotments were neither raised nor lowered this year are due to receive deficiency pay ments in the event that they fail to produce the full amount of their allot ment. For results read The Courier Want These growers should consult their county agents before selling any part of their cards, as they might lose more than they would gain.
