Growing Market For Home-Made Cheese The increasing demand for North Carolina cheese is expected to send the production of cheese factories in this State to a new all time record this year, says F. R. Farnham, dairy extension specialist at State College. North Carolina merchants have shown a decided preference for cheese manufactured within the State, he added. In one horn*, while he was in a North Wilkesboro factory, eight rush orders came in by telephone and telegraph. In view of the growing demand and the fact that local factories produced only 500,000 pounds of cheese in 1933 as compared with the 12,000,000 pounds that had to be purchased from other states, local farmers should find the market for : their milk expanding rapidly. Already the factories are produc- ' ing around 25 per cent more cheese J than they were at this time last ' year and the prices paid for milk ' have advanced sharply. Indications are good, he said, that j present prices will hold up fairly well, or possibly increase, and that the demand will continue strong. ^ Calvary-Thelma Items ' Mr. J. L.

POPU Cm ^ gj E WARREN RECOR1 STUDENT WRITES OF COTTON SEE! Discusses Relation to Yiel< Price And Length Of Cotton Staple THINKS MEXICAN BEST By H. D. MYRICK JR. Agricultural Student Littleton High School Seventy per cent of the farmer in the Littleton community do noi know what variety of cotton thej are growing. You may say my variety is the Mexican big boll. I secured the seed from Mr. Jones four years ago. That, is what you hac then. The bees and wind carrj pollon from your field over to the next field, in this manner a large per cent of your cotton is mixed with other varieties nearby. In the fall you carry a bale of cotton tc the gin, catch the seed, carry them home and plant the next year. You may think you are getting your own seed, but you are getting 26 per cent of the seed out of the bale before you. Then one fourth of your seed is of another variety. They may oe the same variety that you have, but if they are not you will have seed that will make cotton of an inferior grade and quality. One fourth >f your variety goes this year, in four years you do not know more ;han "just cotton" of what you have ;o plant the fifth year. You have :otton that is not of good quality, it will not grade as much as midfling, the length of the stable is from seven-eights to one inch or ess. Therefore you loose from $5.00 to $25.00 on a bale of cotton, that is nixed with all other varieties of in'erior quality. If all the farmers in he community had the same variety there would be no mixing of ,'aricties. The farmers in a community that *aise the same variety of cotton are )n the good side of the mills and nanufacturers, because they want miformity, all about the same grade ind staple. The growers, by proiucing good quality cotton, can >ave much in the manufacturing arocess and can help turn out a ligher quality product. Producers vho are not willing to make the jffort necessary to produce good juality cotton should be paid less * TTnfnrfu yimn prouuceib wiiu uu, lately, the premiums which manufacturers are willing to pay for :otton which meets their requirenents are not often obtainable by ictual growers on local markets, due ;o faulty local market conditions. Because of this situation manyfarmers who could produce high quality cotton produce low grade ind short staple cotton, because the premiums which are paid by the mills for better cotton are kept by middlemen and are not paid to farmers. The mills are willing to pay you for the kind of cotton they want, rhe great interest of mills is longer staple cotton, improvement in grade, development of stronger character and achievement of uniformity. The farmers in the Littleton community should organize a one variety cotton program and strive to make it profitable by the following ways: Pick a variety that is adapted to the locality. The type of cotton grown should be governed by the requirements of our local mills, which use about twice as much cotton annually as is grown in the state. Our mills have shown a willingness to buy North Carolina cotton, provide-.; they can secure the length and quality desired in large even running lots. Practically all of our cotton can be sold to our mills if w.' produced the type of cotton the mill;, need. The length in greatest de mand both in North Carolina and the United States as a whole are 15-16 to 1 1-16 inch staples. Fortunately, our highest yielding and best varieties produce these staple lengths. The only trouble is that not enough farmers are growing these improved varieties, and oroduction of all the different lengths Is scattered throughout the state.

Ontario. St Dept. N. Chicago p Eastern North Carolina conditio] are Mexican and Cleveland 884 ar i 5. The Mexican variety is m J adapted to the Piedmont sectic and is probably the best variety f( . Warren county. Mexican, strai * numbers 87-8 and 87, developed i the coastal Plain Branch Station, i Edgecombe county, is well adapt* , to the Northeastern Coastal Plal 1 and Eastern Piedmont. The Cleveland varieties, numbe: 5 and 884, are well adapted \ Coastal Plain conditions, and ai 3 probably the best varieties for tl t light, well drained soils of tt j southern part of the state. They ali . do well in some of the lower Piec . mont counties, and is a gocd variet : for Halifax county. The Mexica I varieties and Cleveland varietie r will give the best turn out in lir . cotton and money per acre, s All Deoole ever Dlanted Selecte 1 Seed have found it profitable. Po ! instance, Mr. Long from the uppe i part of Halifax county runs a fare i of about 2000 acres. His friend, Mi i M. G. Mann of Raleigh, was visit i ing him one day and made him thi 1 proposition: "I will get you enougl : seed to plant 500 acres of your lani in my variety of cotton, and don' pay for them until after harvesting , If you do not think they have pai< i for themselves, don't you pay m one cent." One day that fall Mi Long walked in Mr. Mann's offic and said he wanted to pay hin : for the seed he gave him to plan : that spring, because they hav< been worth while. "I made lots o money on that 500 acres of cotton and I have saved enough seed ou : of the pure seed that you. let mi have to plant all my 2000 acre: next year." Does this not prove tha it is profitable to plant pure cer tified seed? The thing for Mr. Long to do ii t to keep his variety from mixing witl other varieties, because mixed seec is undoubtedly one of the greates causes of irregular staple length i cotton. However, pure and uniforn | a cotton may be when It come: 1 from the breeder, it will not remalt | under average farm conditions. Mos ; of our cotton of an inch or bettei staple has been selected from shor , staple cotton. Even though th< breeder is very careful and test: ! his strains for several years, a smal I amount of the short staple blooc remains. This gradually crops ou ' Just as in the case of pure brec livestock. Occasionally one individual says that is not credit to it: line of breeding. These graduall; multiply until the seed become badly mixed and the product irreguN( 1 Y V r pi ei fr pi Ir n P1 w ui 1 - i-V Y U. T ai m oj U! 77t if | IB Warren ton, North Carolina as lar. Only the constant selection i id the breeder oan keep such mlxturi out. The farmer should get cert fled seed direct from the breedir ,n at least everp four or five yars, bi 3r cause the bleeding of superior vs 111 rieties of co;ton is of no practic; value unless the .varieties are pr< 111 served and tsed for the productic :d of crops. The crossing of varietii [n in the field and mixing of seed i gins are frequent causes of deterioi rs ation of vareties, but even whe O such dangers; are avoided the d( :e crease in value occurs.,Unless the^ ie are removed by selection, uniformil ie is lost and the variety "runs out" c ? will be unselected stock. The work that is required t y maintain the uniformity of an im n proved strain of cotton by con !S tinued selection will pay as well c better than any other effort give to the crop. !3elect strains not onl d yield more but secure a higher pric ,r from the manufacturer bcause c r the uniformity of the fiber. Ex o periments justify an estimate of a least a 10 per cent increase h - yield as a result of selection, wit! s a still greater increase in the qualit; o and market value therefore, ther ^ Is an increase in the amount o t money for the farmers. For th > market value to increase, the farm 3 ers will have to raise cotton o c quality, because quality is one o ' the many elements that must ente e into making cotton a profitabl. 1 money crop. t This year farmers are required t< B reduce their acreage 40 per cent This is the tine for the farmers ii ' the Littleton community to grow les but better cotton. With the reduc B tion of 40 pe:r cent in our acreag< ? this is the time for a special drivi toward standardization on thosi varieties which produce a staple o 1 to 1 1-16 inch. All farmers o: 5 Warren and Halifax counties shoulc 1 plan and organize for this. The besi * seed available should be obtainec and multiplied for future distribu1 tion in such communities to the enc * that there ma y be complete stands ardization. | Many advantages can be gained if the cotton growers of the Little?1 ton community would unite in the choice of a variety and the date ol * planting and would follow the same * methods of cultivation, selection : ginning, and marketing the crop.
