Tomatoes are tender and highly per
ishable and should be harvested and
packed as rapidly as is consistent with
careful handling methods. When green
they seem firm and will apparently
stand a considerable amount of rough
handling, but the damage becomes ap
parent in the markets after the fruit
has ripened. Every effort should be
made to lessen the opportunity for in
juries which subsequently permit the
entrance of decay organisms into the
fruit.
It is unfortunate that in many sec
tions th)e harvesting operations arc
performed by laborers who are either
ignorant of or are indifferent to these
points. Even well-ijiformed growers
and shippers often fail to give proper
attention to the improvement of the
quality of their product, and in their
effort to handle a large acreage they
overlook the that profits often de
pend more upW quality than upon
quantity.
Tomatoes reach a maturity
that will insure proper ripening several
days before any pink or red color de
velops on th esurface. This is es
pecially true'of the Globe variety and
some otherj. widely grown for table
stock. Theexact stage at
which they should be gathered there

however, where tomatoes • are grown
under contract in most cases the con
tract calls for delivery of green to
matoes only.
In large fields the pickery operal;
in crews under fTie immediate direc
tion of the grower or his foreman.
They are usually paid by the day, al
though some growers prfer to pay on
the basis of the quantity picked. The
latter practice is satisfactory when the
picker* are elosely supervised at all
times.
In picking, tomatoes should be grasp
ed in the hand, with the -thumb or
forefinger pressing against the stem,
and separated from the vine by a half
turn or twist. Kven at the mature
stage they are readily separated, as a
layer of hard-walled or corky cells de

While there arc five important kinds
of packages used for the shipment of
fresh tomatoes these are not being de-
as practically all of the to
matoes will be delivered to packing
houses for grading and packing by the
operators, who will supply their own
containers. In other words, the grow
ers' responsibility ends when tomatoes
; are accepted by the packing-house op

mind, however, that he should do his
part carefully and well, for the oper
ator must have a good product to sell

MILK COWS NEED
GRAIN AS WELL
AS PASTURAGE
Heavy Producers Can Not
Get Enough Nutrient
From Grasses
•
l.arly in the season, the ordinary
pa.-lure grasses contain from SO to 90
p> . ;IKIS of water in each 100 pounds
of uras.s and while cows need lots of
water to produce a maximum milk
flow, they also plenty of nutri

"We have been asked the question
numerous times this spring as to
whether it will pty to feed grain to
cows on", pasture this summer," says
John A. Arey, dairy extension special
ist at State College. "Before this ques
tion can be answered with any degree
of accuracy one must have a knowl 1
that experienced operators can help
materially in building this new indus

are to graze. Low producing cows
' will not pay for grain when on good
pasture but it is a mistake not to feed
some grain to tlie high producing ani
mals. If a cow is a heavy producer,
she cannot get a sufficient nutrition
from grass at this season of the year
1 to support a maximum milk flow."
J' Therefore, Mr. Arey recommends
for Jersey i)r Guernsey cows when
grazing on good pasture and producing
as much as a pound of fat a day, they
they be given one pound of grain for

FEDERAL TAXES
GO INTO EFFECT
2-Cent Charge Made on All
Checks and Drafts
By Banks
The Federal Revenue Act of 1932
makes it obligatory fur each bank or
trust coyipany to impose a 2-cent tax
upon all "checks, drafts, or orders for
the payment of money" presented for
payment on or after June 21, 1932, it
was announced today by H. E. Beam,
cashier Qf the Branch Banking and
Trust Company here.
The law specifically directs that the
amount of tax shall be» charged "a
gainst any deposits to the credit of the
makers or drawer of such instrument,"
and all current statements, therefore,
will cover checks paid by banks plus
tax.
The same revenue act imposes a 10
per cent tax on all safe deposit box
rental collected on or after June 21,
1932? The law further specifies that
this tax shall be paid by ''the person
paying for the use of the safe de
posit box." Accordingly, 10 per cent
will be added to all safe deposit charges
after June 21.
L. M. Smith, dairyman of Wake
County, reduced liis grain feed by 200

BULLETINS TO
AID IN CANNING
NOW AVAILABLE
More Than Three Million
Cans Fruits, Vegetables
"Put Up" Last Year
During the year 1931, more than
three million cans of surplus vegetables
and fruits were filled by farm women
who are members of the home demon
stration clubs in North Carolina. Many
women canned according to a budget
and provided enough such food for
their families during the winter.
Others canned a surplus and sold the
surplus on curb markets. _
"At any rate this revival of canning
last season did much to overcome the
effects of poor prices for farm products
last fall and in many instances pro
vided excellent food when actual want
might have existed had it not been for
this canned material," says Mrs. Jane
S. McKimmon, assistantv x,ens ' on di
rector at State College. "We are is
suing a cail for more canning this
[ summer. Our home agents will aid in
community canning, and, trained lead
ers among the women will aid those
! who have not had sufficient experience
lin canning a quality product. It is my
hope that every woman with a garden
will save some vegetables to supply
the family's need for food this com
ing winter."
To aid farm wom.n in their can
"ning problems, the extension service
has reprinted its circular number 114,
"Canning Fruits and Vegetables," and
copies of this circular will be supplied
free of charge to citizens of North
Carolina as long as the supply lasts.
The extension service also has a good
supply of extension circular number
113, "Jelly, Preserves, Jam and Pic
kle," and copies of this publication
will also 4>e sent free to those desir
ing them.
Those whb wish to have" copies of
these two publications should send in
their requests early. Each home agent
in the State will have a supply and
will be glad to distribute these to club
women. A letter or card to the di
vision of publications at State -Cpl
lege asking for either of the two bul
letins will also receive prompt atten
tion.
HIGHER POSTAGE
RATES TO TAKE
EFFECT JULY 6TH
Patrons Holding Two-cent
Envelopes Will Have To
Add Another Stamp
New postal rates included in the
revenue measure recently passed by
Congress arc effective July 6, accord
ing to Postmaster W. E. Vick. Ef
fective on that date, letters weighing
no more than 1 ounce will require 3
cents postage.
Mr. V iclc issued the following state
ment explaining other postal changes
nude by the new law:
Letters or other lirst-cUss matter
weighing in excess of one ounce will
require postage at the rjte of 3 cents
for each ounce or fraction thereof. No
change was made in the rate for post
cards and postal cards, this rate re
maining at 1 cent each.
In order to discourage the mailing
of insufficiently prepaid matter, I cent
per ounce in addition to the deficient
postage will be collected on postage
due letters or matter of the first class.
Letters in business reply envelopes
are subject to postage at the rftte of
3 cents for each ounce or fraction
will apply, but a fee of 1 cet will be
charged on each envelope mailed un
der business reply permit.
Letters prepaid Its* than 3 cents will
be returned to the senders if known.
If the sender is not known, they will,
if prepaid at least 2 cents, be rated with
the deficient postage and dispatched to
destination for collection of tiie amount
due upon delivery to the addressee.
Effective the same date the rate on
mail carried by airplane will be in
creased 3 cents per ounce. The old
rate of 5 cents for ounce or
fraction and 10 cents for each ad
ditional ounce or fraction will be chang
ed to 8 cents for the first ounce or
fraction and 13 cents for each addi
tional ounce or fraction thereof.
This rate, however, does not apply
to mail sent by air to Puerto Rico,
Virgin Island of the United States,
and the Canal Zone. The rate be
tween Puerto Rico or the Virgin Is
lands of the United States and the Ca
nal Zone is 10 cents for each half ounce
or fraction of a half ounce; and the
rate between the United States, Puerto
Rico, or Virgin Islands of the United
States and the Canal
for each half ounce or fraction of half
ounce.
It will be necessary that patrons hav
ing 2-cent envelopes on hand place an
additional 1-cent stamp on each en
velope. Future envelope orders will,
of course, be entered for envelopes of
the 3-cent denomination.
60,000 Bushels of Potatoes
More than 60,000 bushels of sweet
potatoes were sold by Martin County
farmers operating curing houses this
spring, according to information re
ceived here. J. G. Staton, operating a
30,000 bushel capacity house here sold
a majority of the potatoes, other sales
having been made by about 20 small
growers, it was stated.
The prices averaged from 50 to 76
cents a bushel. ,
