C., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL23, 1929 SIX PAGES TODAY NUMBER 31 — Ten Reasons Why He Relieve: j This Form of Farm Relie! Would llrins Disaster 1: Farmer President Hoover is opposed to ’'ihe export debenture farm, relief | plan which is now being: debated I in Congress. He says it would ! cost $200,000,000 a year and that it would bring; disaster to the American farmer. His argument against the plan was given in -i letter to Chairman McNary, of the Senate agricultural committee. and no grave a detailed criticism of the plan in which lie stated that its “theoretical benefits’ would not be reflected to the farmer; that it would create prof, it erring. and that it contains ele ments “which would bring Amer ican agriculture to disaster." The president listed ten weaknesses of the plan as follows: “1. The issue of debentures tM export merchants and their re demption in payment of import duties amounts to a direct sub sidy from the United States Treas ury. If the plan proposed be gen erally applied, it would cost in excess of §200,000,000 a year, as it would decrease the Treas ^ ury receipts by such an amount. “2. The first result of the {dan. if put into operation, would be a gigantic gift from the govern ment and the public to the deal ers and manufacturers and spec ulators in these commodities. Foi instance, in the principal export, commodities the value of the pres-; ent vcllume of stocks in possession of these trades would, if the plan woiked, rise by from §200.000,00') to S40ft.000.00d according to dif ferent calculations, without a cent' return to the farmer or consume'-. Every speculator for a rise1 in oil. public maikets would receive enormous profits. Conversely, if after this elevation of prices the; (dan were at any time for any | reason withdrawn, the trades i would suffer a like loss ar.cl •’ j long line <f bankruptcies must ensue. “But in the meantime the | trades, out of fear of withdrawal | or of reduction in the subsidy, j - would not engage in normal pur chase and distribution. Either ex orbitant margins would be re quired or alternatively the far mer would be compelled to him self hold the nation’s stocks un til there was a demand for a. tua'l consumption. | Defeat Purpose. “3. If the increase price did re- | fleet to the farmer, the plan j would stimulate over-production | and thereby increase world sun- j ply, which would in turn depre-1 date world prices and consequent. ! ly decrease the price which the farmer would receive, and thereby defeat the plan. Stimulation of production has been the outstand ing. experience abroad where ex port subsidy has been applied Over-production will defeat the plan and then, upon its withdraw al, agriculture would be plunged into a catastrophe cl deflation from over-expanded production. The farmer’s difficulties today are in some part due to this process after the war. “4. The stimulation of produc tion of certain commodities would disturb the whole basis of diver sification in American agriculture, particularly in the cotton and wheat sections where great prog ress is now being made toward a more stable basis oi agricu) ture. “5. Although it is proposed that the plan should only be in stalled at the discretion of the Farm Board, yet the tendency of all boards is to use the whole of their authority and more cer tainly in this case in view of the pressure from those who would not understand its possibility of harm, and emphatically from the interested deal-rs in the commod ity. “6. It is not jvoposed to pay the debentures or .subsidies to the farmers, but to the export mer chants, and it seems certain that a large part of it would not he TURN TO PAGE 4, PLEASE Tantalizer There r.re exactly enough let ters in the line below to spell the name of a person in Smith field or Johnston County, and to the one deciphering their name and presenting a copy of this paper to the Herald otliee, ivo will present a free ticket to the Victory Theatre.

TOBACCO ON RIDGE MAKES BEST LEAE RALEIGH, April 22.—Growing tobacco on a ridge suflieieritlj high to insure good drainage has meant $f>0 an a. re in extra profit. to the grower adopting the meth od. "Wo advocate the ridge mother of cultivating tobacco,” says L Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist State College. “Our demonstra tions in past years show thi method to be superior to level or fiat cultivation, as is practice:: with com. The ridge method ha leturned about $00 an acre pro(r in a number of tests conducte with us by leading tobacco grow ers of eastern and piedmont Car elma. \Ve have a little circulm published here at the college which describes just what \v< mean by ridge cultivation. Eaci ‘Hep is explained by drawings an* photographs and the method i easily followed." ien tanners ot Unslow counts tried out the ridge method com pared with flat cultivation on It acres of land last year. The av c-rage increase in yield given h the ridge method was 170 pound: of leaf per acre. This tobacco sol for 40 cents a pound and gave i net increase of $08 per acre ovc the flat method. Demonstrations in Lenoir conn ty show the value of this nielli cd. In this county, the growers a * < using good seed of the Cash va riety or sonic other quality va ricty and about 00 per cent o the soils have had an applieatioi of magnesium limestone in th last three years. A large nunrbe of growers are also mixing thei fertilizers according to extensio recommendations. In Wayne couii ty also the ridge method is pop ular and profitable. Mr. Floyd conducted over 50 demonstrations of one kind or ai: ' other in the tobacco counties <: 1 North Carolina last year. H ' also held 127 tobacco school : where 5,1 G8 farmers were pro: ; ent.

April 19. The things emphasized at this meeting were the enrollment of new members and the employment of a service officer for the post, j The need is great for such an j officer. Reports indicate that there ' are large numbers of disabled vet erans of the World War who hav. not yet received the proper recog nition from Washington, and a service officer who could devote a goodly portion of his time in wciking out these claims could , render an invaluable service to the disabled veterans. The post will next meet in Four Oaks on Friday night, May •1. George Pou, of Raleigh, ana brother of one of the slain vet erans for whom the post is named, states that he will be there with something of interest , to pay to the boys in attendance. . II. V. Rose, commander of the < i >,t. states that he will see that ■ each one gets a cup o-f coffee ; and a sandwich. Allen Johnson , states that he will try to muster , the Four Oaks string band for a • tune or two. The next meeting promises to , have varied attractions. The com- , mandoi* of the post calls upon every former service man in the , county to attend this meeting. , Renunbor the place—Four Oaks, and the time—Friday, May 3, at eight o’clock.
