NOW BEING PAID
8286,123 SENT TO NORTH CAR
OLINA THIS WEEK—CHECK*
MAILED AT RATE OF 5,00fl
TO 10,000 A DAY.
Wasington, April 10. Gov
ernment money starts flowing
this week to those tobacco farm
ers in the south's flue-cured belt
who are co-operating in the farm
administration's crop reduction
program,
J. B. Hutson. chief of the to
bacco section, announced that the
mailing today of $764,431 in ren
tal and price-equaling payments
to contracting producers of flue
cured initiated the movement of
approximately $12,269,000 in first
payments to an estimated 275,000
growers of all types of tobacco
participating in the 1934 adjust
plan.
Hutson said a final audit is now
in progress on an approved block
of 10.749 flue-cured contracts
which called for disbursement of
5439.403 in rental payments ani
$325,028 to cover 3,410 applica
tions for price-equalizing pay
ments.
Payments by states, of the
block of flue-cured applications
approved to date are: North
Caiolina, $286,125; South Caro
lina. $121,539; Georgia, $213,703;
Virginia, $101,753, and Florida,
541.309,
Checks are to be sent out to
paiticipating farmers at the rate
of 5.000 to 10,000 a day until the
payments are completed. To
date, 45,365 flue-cured contracts
have been received together with
26.001 applications for price
equalizing payments.
Checks for virtually all of these
contracts and applications are ex
pected to be mailed before the
end of this week. Approximately
100,000 flue-cured tobacco grow
ers signed tobacco reduction con
tracts but all have not been fin
ally approved.
The total amount to be distri
buted to the 100,000 participat
ing growers of flue-cured tobacco
who have contracted to reduce
acreage and production by 30 per
cent, in 1934, is made up of ap
proximately $4,300,000 in rcnlal
payments and $4,275,000 in price
equalizing payments.
The two payments are being
made at the tame time, although
in separate checks. Adjustment
payments, totalling $8,000,000,
AviJl be disbursed after comnliance
•ontract terms is checked and
evidence as to the value of the
ciop, on which the adjustment
payment is based, is accepted.
Allotments of acreage and pro
duction are given producers for
19C4 as rapidly as contractts are
accepted. Compliance with acre
age allotments is to be checked
this summer, while adherence to
production allotment is subject
to determination after the crop
is marketed.
W. B. Collins, Alleghany coun
ty agent, has been busy assisting

Farmers Are Willing.
;
H. E. Carter, Secretary-Treat
urerer of the Stokes countv na
l
tional farm loan association of
Walnut Cove, N. C., recently re
ceived word from the Governor
of the Farm Credit Administra
( tion, Wm. I. Myers, telling him
of the ready reception which
farmers and their creditors are
giving to the bonds of the Feder
al Farm Mortgage Corporation
which are now being tendered by
»
the Federal Land Bank of Colum
bia, S. C., in place of cash in set
tlement of farmers' debts.
"Thesß bonds have been s?l'.
ing in the large markets at a lit
tle above par. indicating a ready
market for them. Just a week
after the banks began using
bonds instead of cash, the tirst
bonds to be sold on the New York
market were purchased at 100" i.
We anticipated these bonds which
bear 3 1-4 per cent, interest per
annum would sell at par or above
at the time we set the interest
rate, for Government bonds ma
i turing in 1941, bearing the s.ime
rate were selling above par."
Mr. Myers pointed out that
these bonds were not only exempt
from local. State and Federal
i
taxation with the exception of
surtaxes, inheritance and gift
taxes, but that they are as read-
I ily salable as Government secur
ities. He said they are being
quoted in the metropolitan papers
but if such quotations are not
available readily to farmers that
they will be given the quotations
if they will write to the Federal
land bank of their districtt.

I
; Couzens Proposal.
i
i Washington, April 10. The
Senate today rejected the Couz
ens emergency proposal to add 10
I
per cent, to all individual tax re
turns next year.
The action followed rejection
of the King schedule proposing
increases in income and surtax
I
rates over the Finance Commit
tee scales which would have ad
ded an estimated $40,000,000 in
revenue.
VOTE 46 TO 4)
The additional 10 per cent. tax.
estimated to yield another $55,-
000,000 for recovery needs in the
one year it would have been ap
plied to the amount of normal in
come tax and surtaxes duo in
1935 on 1934 income. For ex
ample a person owing SIOO in tax
es would have been required to
pay sllO.
The vote was 46 to 44 against
the Couzens amendment, bul Sen
ator Couzeno changed from aye
to no before the decision was an
nounced in order to move for
reconsideration.

Before Couzens changed the
vote was tie and the amendment
would have been lost anyway.

i Hog's Need Pasture
' For Proper Growth
| Green grazing is essential to
the development of hogs, ye !
■ they cannot thrive on pasturage'
i alone, says Earl H. Hostetier. j
'head of the animal husbandry'
research at State College.
i °
Southern swine growers have
an advantage over their north
ern neighbors, he said, in the
1 year-round pastures which can
be maintained in the warmer
, regions.
Pigs which have had access lo
i succulent grazing before the fat
tening period will put on weight
I
even when fed the concentrated
fattening feed in a dry lot.
But those which were not sup
plied with green grazing before
the fattening period, in recent
experiments under Hostetler's
supervision, failed to gain weigh'
normally and finally died when
not provided with green feed
, legume hay, or cod liver oil.
Temporary grazing is especially
• valauble to sows which are suck
. iing pig litters, since it is during
. this p;r:o.l that young pigs ure :
i liable to become infested with!
. worms and parasites. A fresn'
. pasture that has not been grazed)
> by swine in some time will de-1
crease the danger of infestation.
Young pigs should not be al-■
■ lowed to graze in pastures along!
( with older hogs, as the mature j
. animals may infect the pigs al
• though not apparently suffering j
' from the parasites themselves.

Hostetier &iys that continuous 1

123 COUNTIES
'i HAVE REVISED
| THIRTY-ONE MURK FLUE
j C'l'RKI) COI'NTIES M If ST
COMPLETE THEIR C O N
TRACTS.
The revision of l'lue-cured to
bacco contracts in which tha
j claims of past acreage and pro
-1 duction were too high should ba
completed for North Carolina in
the near future.
E. Y. Floyd, of State College,
who has charge of the tobacco
control program, said that the
revisions have been completed in
23 counties and that four others
will be finished in a day or two.
This leaves 31 more of the
State's 58 flue-cured tobacco
counties yet to finish their con
tracts. However, he pointed out,
the wo.'K in most of these coun
: ties is almost complete. Their
; completion.' should take only a
fev more days.
Approximately half of the
' 65.100 cor.irac.s signed have been
i"c m _*:• i by Floyd's oiiice here
arts.- their revision. The con-
I tracts r.ow accepted cover about
| one-half of the total acreage un
i der contract. Floyd estimated.
The rental payments on the
acres which are being retired
from cultivation will amount to
more than $5,000,000. Another
$2,000,000 will be paid before
long to equalize the income from
that part of the 1933 crop whic;i
was sold before prices reached
parity.
Probably more than $6,000,000
in benefit payments will also be
paid the growers who reduce
their production at the rate of
121-2 per cent, of the market
value of their 1934 crop.
The counties in which revision
has been completed are: Pitt,
Davidson, Columbus. Sampson.
Hertford, Robeson, Cumberland.
Onslow, Bladen. Caswell, Jones.
Johnston, Craven. Wilkes, New
Hanover, Chatham. Wilson.
I Vance. Randolph. Scotland, Dup-
I lin, Caldwell, and Montgomery.

plete.
