FIFTY FARMERS
BUY LESPEDEZA
150 Bushels Are Bought By
_ About 50 Farmers In
This County
About fifty Robersonville farmers
are believed to have made a wise
move recently when they purchased
150 bushels of lespedeza seed from a
Union County farmer for use on their
own farms.
Messrs. C. A. Roberson and broth
er are planting 60 bushels of the seed
along with their oat crop, and it is
understood that most of the others
taking part in the cooperative pur
chase are sowing lespedeza with their
oat crops.
Lespedeza is proving to be one of
the best if not the best grazing and
hays crops in the country. It costs
very .little, and can. be grazed and har
vested in the same season. In addi
tion to that the crop re-seeds itself.
According to reports on growing
conditions of the crop, lespedeza is
said to grow unusjially '.well on wet,

EDGECOMBE IS •
LEADING EAST
IN LESPEDEZA
' —•—
Most of Acreage Will Be
Sown With Home-Grown
Seed This Year
As eastern Carolina crop farmers
to learn the value of lespedeza'
as a gM'ftKHayi pasture and soil im-|
proving crrtpT p.'Vlgecombe County,
emerges as the leader among those |
which have adopted the legume in
their farming operations.
"Edgecombe is becoming the Stan-j
ly of the East," says Enos C. -Blair,
extension agronomist at State Col
lege. "The value of the crop for hay
has become so well established now
that the acreage for 193Z will be three
times that of 1931 and most of the!
acreage will be sown with seed pro-1
duced at home last year. Zeno Moore, 1
-veteran farm agent in Edgecombe in!
years past, laid the foundation by hav
ing lespedeza sown in all demonstra
tion pastures planted for 15 years.
He also made a start with it as a field j
crop in 1927 when he planted a badly j
washed field which was about to be
abandoned. This planting remained
for two years when the field was turn
ed ami planted in corn. The result
ing yield was higher than that se
cured from the remainder of the field, i
This set the stage for the present pop-:
ularity of the legume."
In 192 V, when H.. W. Taylor, ♦be
came farm agent in Edgecombe; he |
very wisely followed the work begun |
by Mr. Moore. In 1930, there were I
140 acres of common lespedeza plant-1
ed for pasture and 30 acre 3 of Ten
nessee 86 and Kobe planted for hay. ]
Good yields -were secured. In '931,
there were 100 farmers to buy les
pedeza seed, sowing about 15,000
pounds. The seed pans and a com
bine were «used to harvest a good
crop of seed last fall and this will be
carefully planted on the small grain
within tj|e next few days or for pas
ture later. »
Purchases of seed for planting have
! already reached 6,725 pounds this
! spring and more will likely be bought
later. This will be in addition to the
targe amount of seed saved at home
last fall. »

THB ENTBRPRISB
TESTS INDICATE
TOBACCO SEED IS
VERY GOOD FOOD
♦
Carnegie Institute Workers
Reveal Result of
Experiments
♦ i
Believe it m not, tobacco seed ap
jproaihes the perfect food.
I The Carnejt'e Institution of Wash-;
■ ington, D. C., has just completed ex-!
tensive analysis to determine the rich-,
j ness of tobacco seed in the essentials j
'of the diet.
I In 1930 the institution discovered
that rats thrived on an almost ex
j elusive diet of seed and during the past,
'year rats have grown from infancy to
adult size with tobacco seed supply
ling the essential ingredients of their
ration.''
| The experiments have bene conduct
ed by L. B. Mendel and B. H. Vick
ery, Carnegie collaborators. In their
report they state that the seeds con
tain the necessary proteins for a
anced diet. Thev have prepared a to
bacco seed oil which, contains four of
; the necessary vitamins,
j One thing that continues to baffle
I the Carnegie scientists is the source of
! the nicotin found in tobacco leaves-
J which spring from tfie seed. Analysis
jof the seed themselves show no trace
of nicotine.
| With tobacco prices at such a low
: level, the farmers may find
some ray of hope in the experiments j
| being conducted. Some day, if they
| live long enough, babies may cry for)
j their tobacco seed oil just like they |
'cry for castoria, cod liver oil, or other j
i things that the modern doctor pre-1
scribes.
1 A part of the report of the Carnegie,
[institute on the value of tobacco seed
'as a diet follows:
| "The offspring of rats brought up
'on rations composed almost exclusive
ly of tobacco seeds and which received
no vitamin-bearing additions except
i cod liver oil, were properly suckled
and reached a satisfactory size at
I weaning time. The litters were usu
ally, though not always of average
j size. The mothers had no difficulty
|in resuming their weight. Some of
the suckling young, however, gave evi
dence of unsatisfactory nutrition by
such symptoms as weak legs and gen
eral lethargy."

OUT OF SLAVERY
INTO BUSINESS IS
FARMERS' HOPE
Can Be Accomplished By
Brains, Horse Sense and
Cooperation t
By Rev. J. M. PERRY
It is not the disposition of think
ing people to livermeddle in the affairs
!of others, and diagnose for maladies
i about which they know little or noth
' ing. However, every true neighbor is
! vitally interested in the health, happi
| ness, and prosperity of his fellowmen,
and solicitous about their welfare in
general. He worries when his neigh
bor is seriously ill.
The farmer is sick—economically ill.
Therefore, bankers, doctors, merchants
preachers, teachers, and, in fact, his
neighbors of whatever craft or guilt,
! are affected, interested, and even
alarmed. Well they may be, for when
the farmer goes down they go down
with him. The farmer is the first man
;in the 10-pin row, and in his fall he
knocks down about all the men or
the board.
j There are a few. who, by conniving
\ and special and protected privilege,
; have so profiteered and so sapped the
' earnings of the farmer and his over
| worked family that they have moved
into safe range with their hoarded
millions, but they are the favored few
and live apart from the masses of man
kind. Generally speaking, we all suf-
I fer together, it, therefore, behooves
lus all to help the farmer find a solu
tion tor his present-day ills.
| As viewed by one who isn't a farm
| er, it appears that the farmers vie with
>each other in seeing who can raise the
| most of any given money crop, and
who can rush it to the marlifl, quickest
in order to run the prices down as
low as it is possible to force them.
Whether they so intend it or not, that
is the result of the unbusinesslike, un
sound, and even unethical system of
I farm marketing. Even under this un
scientific marketing system, cutting
crops, lowering fertilizer bills, better
grades and qualities, together with
slow and orderly marketing of crops
would help. It will not' give the re
lief needed, and insure the farmer the
place he deserves in the business
world.
This being largely a tobacco grow
ing section, We think more about the,
marketing of tobacco than any other ;
crop. It, of all, is the most unsat-l
ifsactorily and unfairly marketed. Not!
long ago 1 stepped into a market and :
heard about as follows: "Manchuria'
and Choochow two, Toodluni loodlum 1
two, two and half, all to the Tokio|
man." I wasn't sure if the auctioneer
was selling tobacco or making a speech;
on the Chinese-Japanese situation, that
is, if I judged by what I heard. Of
course, I knew'it was a tobacco sale.
Ntrw, this ought to be remedied; in
1932—n0t 1933.
The big tobacco companies like this
method of sales to the tune of hun
dreds of millions of dollars out of the
pockets of the farmers. The farmers
themselves are suffering from fear psy
chology. They fear what the big com
panies might do if they presume to
take a strong hand and fix the price
of the 1932 crdp of tobacco. It does
n't matter in the end what they do.
Eastern Carolina could cease grow
ing tobacco, and in twenty-five years,
with the soil, climate and seasons this
might be the most self-supporting, the
richest and happiest section'' to be
found in all of this great land.
Fear is an awful thing. It magni
fies trivial difficulties and exaggerates
' hypothetical situations. The dope ad
dict thinks he would die without his
dope. He wouldn't die, but would
more often get well in body, mind, and
soul.' The farmers fear is not well
founded, for no one thinks for a mo
ment that the companies are going out
of business when they make more in
90 days than a farmer could make in
5,000 years. Then, there is the small
manufacturer who will spring up to
help the farmer out. What did tlhe
Lord promise to a single corporation
the divine right to handle all the to
bacco? The people have permitted,
for no special reason other than to
make a few richer and the farmer
poorer.
| Now, there o_ght to be ■ way out
i There is a way out, and a plain way.
| It is not the way of weaklings, cow
ards, and slaves. It t is the way of J
| brains, business, and common horse;
'tense coupled with cooperation. |
In the. next week's issue we hope to
show in a very concrete and practical
way how the farmers may fix the price
for their 1932 crop, and realize from
two to three times as much per pound
at he did this yeat, how the ware
housemen may reliie much larger re
turns from their investasats, and how
all concerned may be helped. It will
mean a return of prosperity and hap
piness to the farmers. Nothing but
fear and abject slavery to an outworn
system can hinder it. Mr. fanner, rise
up and get out of slavery and go into
business. Yon can if you will.
