THE DANBURY REPORTER. Established 1872. J. It. FORREST IS INTERVIEWED MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE PRO DUCTION' CREDIT ASSOCIA TION, GIVES VIEWS ON VALUE OF THE AGEXCV. Splendid records are bciu;.; made by all production credit as sociations in this section, accord ing t 0 J- R. Forrest, of Francis co, member of the board of di-l rectors of the Winston-Salem Production Credit Association, who has just returned from Blow ing Rock where he attended a group meeting of directors of a number of these farmer co-oper ative credit organizations in this section- At this meeting, Mr. Forrest said, complete reports were sub mitted on all of the associations represented showing voluru of business done by each, c r i.± ar methods of operation, etc., in order that the directors miglu derive any possible benefits thru tills exchange of information. The statistics indicated that the Winston-Salem Production Credit Association occupies a very complimentary position among the associations reprc :?nted. It has the greatest per centaga of increase in the volume of business t dining the year cf 153 V. in crease is 2> per cent. It tied in having the lowest per centage of class B stockholders listing theii stock for transfer'which indicates that those who have borrowed previously and who, fortunately, do not need to borrow during this year are well satisfied with th permanency of the service. Thir Association had the lowest per centage of papers returned from the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank for adjustment which indi cates that accuracy i 3 stressed. This Association was one of the s few associations represented that had not experienced either a charge-off or a foreclosure durin;; the entire period of operation. The reports indicated that all of the s>!.-£x>ciaiions have showr each year an increase in num ber of members and volume ol business done, Mr. Forrest saH. thus attesting the appreciation o! the farmers for the service being rendered by thesa co-opcraiivc: credit organizations. Poduction credit associations make loans to farmers for general a ricul'uial purposes, Mr. Forrest paid, including farm repairs, equipment, fencing, .purchase of livestock and other items requir ing short-term financing, at an interest rate of five per centum per annum and interest is charg d only for the time the farmer actually has the money. The as sociations are strictly co-oper ative and members get the bene fit of any profits made.

Alford- Volume 66 | Valuable In Cot mat ion On Tobacco Culture York, N. C , July 3, 19.17. Dea r Mr. Editor: I have some information rela tive to tobacco culture that came fro m the v.ist experience of my father who grew tobacco for near ly 70 years. In explanation, tobacco has an ! oily substance which is its natur .al possession. It also has a sap ' (water) which comes and goes, at intervals , during the life of the plant. When the sap rise* it runs the oil out through the pores of the leaf to the surface where it forms a "gum," we'i known to all tobacco gro'-v.;-.. > Oil and water do not mix, a-iJ oil bring the light' r is forced >u: by the sap, and to'iacco harvest cvl in this condition will cure ball. • and be light an ] i.iferior in qu J ity. But harvest tobacco when fullest of oil it will cure easily •ind be rich. waxy and superior in quality. The oil do-s r.c' 1 evaporate in 'lie piocc-ss of cu ing, like th* sap dots, and l - mains give wealth to the 1 bacco. I shall be pleased to answ-.i ■ any corrc-rpondence from tobae r,rowers. ptovidod postage is ! 'or reply 5 Yours truly, W. H.

Many hundreds of fine fish died when the power dam on Dan • river was recently drained. Periodically this pond is turn ! Ed off to wnr-h out the accumu , lating muek. When the dam was drained on June 10, hundreds o! . carp and other species of the finny tribe, unable to endure the . rolling tides of mud, were washed up on the bar.ks of the stream J and left there putrefying in the I hot sunlight.

GIVES VALUABLE ADVICE REGARDING SOIL CONSER VATION. i I ,j The farmers of Stokes county ! who have signed worksheets should make every effort to cora . ply with the Soil Conservation! i' Program. It will not only mean dollars and cents in their pockets. i but their 'and will be in a bettei : condition next year. The principal , i crop being used for soil con . serving purposes is the cowpea. i The price of cowpeas has dropped considerably and a large acreage I .s being sown.

Poor Stand of l'obaeco. s A number of farmers have it. s quired as to whether o«- not an., .illowancesr will be made for ii poor stand of tobacco in nieasut t ing the tobacco this year. As fae :! a« we know now, no allowance :• for poor stands will b' l made.. 1.- .' other v.oids, if a 3 acre field i - planted to tobacco and there i only on -half siand, as fir as tii • s -il Const re ition Progi-iin ii ■ eoncetm ! it w'll have to be coital ed •" aen. -- If anyotr - ha plant.d 7 r > ptn- eiiit. ot le.=s of hi.- 1 as'O, it »viil not make any differ | cnee any wa.v. because 25 pe> cent, is all that the faimers can j expect pay for reducing. Ii" aay j one has planted beyond 75 per cent, and' his stand of tobacco will not produce enough tobac to bring him a return greater than what he would receive if the F ''itme amount of land was left otr. of tobacco, then it would be to his , advantage to plow up the tobacco , back ?o 75 per cent, of the base j and plant some other crop on flic , land.
