Friday, SeptemberJO^l^Zg^ HOOVER HEARS OF PLIGHT OF LEAF GROWERS —— Simmons Coftipares Present Emergency With Missis •ipi Flood Last Year Washington, Sept. 18.—The tragic plight of Eastern North Carolina to- I.acco farmers, whose crSps are be ing sacrificed on the altar of low prices, was described this morning to President Hoover by Senator Sim mons, who compared the present emergency to the Mississippi flood of last year. He thinks it probable the President will take up the matter with the Federal Farm Board, and p»rhaps with the Attorney-General. Senator Simmons has also con-, ferred with J. C. Stone, tobacco repre sentative on the Farm Board, but the newly-formed governmental in stitution apparently feels it can do little toward relief this season. It is just beginning to function in a jmtited way.

Senator Simmons told Mr. Stone tliat no doubt Southern Senators would be glad to initiate such a con ference, if requested to do so by tobacco growers or by committees representing tobacco growers. If emergency legislation will help toward relief. Senator Simmons told Mr. Stone that he thought it could be put through the Senate without de lay. He conveyed the same idea to the President. The folowing statement regarding these conferences with the President and Mr. Stone and their result was issued from the office of Senator Simmons this afternoon: "The low price being paid for to bacco on the markets since the season opened has been and is a matter of great concern to Senator Simmons. Reports received by the Senator show that the price being paid for tobacco, particularly in Eastern North Car oling, is much less than the cost of pro duction—and this notwithstanding the good quality of the tobacco, the rel l alively small crop, and the fi#"that the tobacco buyers and manufacturers are land have been enjoying during the past few years probably the greatest pros prity and the largest profits in their history. The reports that the Senator has received reflect a condition almost of despair aomng the tobacco growers cf Eastern Carolina. "During the past several days Sen »tor Simmons has had a number of con ferences with administrative officials of the government, at which he has dis cussed with them the possibilities of emergency action. On yesterday after noon the Senator had an extended con ference wtih Mr. Stone, member of the federal Farm Board, particularly rep .rrsenting the tobacco growers; and this morning at 10:30 o'clock the j North Carolina Senator discussed the I matter at some length with President Hoover at the White House. "In the conference between Senator Simmons and Mr Stone, of the Fed eral Farm Board, the possibilities. of some emergency action under the ex isting law were discussed, but it seems doubtful whether anything can be ef fected under the Federal Farm Board i • jattßSii piSL— act in time to tare the present crop new just going on the market from being taken from the farmer without adequate compeniation. Senator Sim mons told Stone that if any additional i or emergency legislation could be sug gested that would enable the Federal Board to act instantly and with vigor, Se felt sure that such emergency leg islation could be put through the Con gress without delay. "In the conference the suggestion was made that Senators from the Southeastern States where the tobacco crop is being taken from the farmers without the payment of anything re sembling fair prices might interest themselves in procuring a meeting and conference between the heads of the principal tobacco companies who have buyers on our markets with represen tatives of the growers of tobacco, and that out of such a conference, backed by public opinion and manifest fair ness and justice, there might come re sults that would prevent the sacrifice of the tobacco crop, that is now going on the market. The opinion was ex pressed that if the responsible heads of the tobacco companies could be made to understand fully the way in *hich the tobacco growers of North Carolina and other Southern States are being mistreated, and the deep feeling of indignation on the part of cur people with reference v to the sub ject. they might take action that would result immediately in the payment of tetter prices for th?, farmers' tobacco. Senator Simmons told Mr. Stone that he had no doubt that the Senators from the Southern States would be quite willing to initiate such a conference, if requested to do so by the tobacco growers of the States, or any com mittees chosen by the growers to represent them. "In the conference with President Hoover this morning, Senator Sim mons portrayed fully and at length the conditions that the tobaccp farmers in Eastern Carolina are facing right now, and he urged the view that it is a situation of great emergency—as great with respecl.to the tobacco sec tions of the Southeast, he told the President, as flood control in time of flood could.be to the Mississippi Val ley—and that he believed emergency legislation, if any could be evolved that would give immediate relief, could speedily be passed in both Houses of Congress. Senator Simmons believes, ai> a result o'f his conference with the President, that it is probable that the President will discuss the matter with the Federal Farm Board and perhaps with the Attorney-General. "It may be said also that there has been a demand on the part of tobac co growers for a Congressional investi gation of the cause of the low prices bring paid for tobacco by the principal tobacco companies; while others have "NEURITIS The famoui Q-623 —Guaranteed re lief for Rheumatism, Neuritis, Athritis, Sciatica, Lumbago—is now available to all sufferers from these torture*.

THE ENTERPRISE SHOULD PLANT COVER CROPS IN TOBACCO FIELDS ♦ 700,000 Acres in State Offer Best Opportunity for Winter Cover ———— The 700,000 acres of land planted to tobacco in 1929 offers North Carolina its best opportunity to plant winter cover crops this fall for soil jipiprove ment and for hay. "The reason yt that the otbacco crop is about all taken from the land per mitting the cover crop to be planted early enough for best results," says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State Cotlege. "To plant cover crops on tobacco land, progressive farmers cut the stalks with a sharp cutter, then level the field by running on row with a disk harrow to tear down the ridge. If the cover crop is to be either rye, oats, wheat, barley, vetch, or Austrian Winter Peas, the seed may be broad casted and covered immediately . by double-disking the field." Mr. Blair warns that this plan would put crimson clover seed in too deep ly, and they should be covered with a brush drag, weeder, or some other light implement. If the crimson clover is to go in with grain, the grain should be covered with the disk and the clover seed with the drag immediately there after. Then, too, it is necessary to inoculate the seeds of crimson clover and Aus trian Winter Peas when planted on land not already inoculated. A good method of doing this, suggests Mr. Blair, is to get som£ soil from a well inoculated field, securing the same a amount of soil as there are seed to be planted, moisten the seed with a mix ture of water and molasses and then mix the moistened seed with this soil, In selecting the soil for inoculating purposes, scrape off the first two inches and get soil where the bacteria are present. Commercial inoculation may also be purchased. Mr. Blair says the best time to sow winter cover crops is about September ' 15. a The crop tfien makes good growth before cold weather. expressed the opinion that such an in vestigation would be to late to result in any success in saving ttie tobacco crop now going on the market which is the emergency matter of the present moment."
