Business Outlook
Continues Brighter
As the third quarter of 1938 gets
underway, a business man looking
backward with one eye and forward
with the other might well say to
himself, "business fared not so bad
ly as it might have, and from now
to Christmas it ought to progress
very nicely."
The first admission would be in
order because, despite confidence
shaking war scares earlier in the
year and a prolonged labor dispute
in the important bituminous coal,
mining industry during April and
May, activity in most industries and
trades has worked doggedly upward
again to near the level of operations
prevailing at the start of 1939.
On the other hand the rosier-hued
outlook for the coming months seems
justified by reports of rising produc
tion in the steel industry, increased
purchases of raw materials by man
ufacturers, sales of lumber outrun
ning present production, and larger
orders being booked by the apparel
industry. Some men's clothing dis
tributors have 30 to 35 per cent
more business to fill than at this time
last year. This is also true of manu
facturers of women's wear, who re
port a definite shortage of low-pnc
eu dresses for immediate delivery.

State College specialists offer the
following suggestions to North Car
olina farmers for the month of July:
Cotton
Agronomist Paul Kime says fre
quent cultivation of cotton during
July is beneficial as it maintains a
mulch that helps to hold the mois
ture. The cultivation should be shal
low at all times in order to prevent
injury to the root system. This also
applies to corn and most other cul
tivated crops.
Vegetables
Robert Schmidt, experiment sta
tion horticulturist, has four sugges
tions for gardeners. First, he says,
set tomatoes early in the month for
a fall crop. And be sure to use wilt
resistant varieties. Second, sow cab
bage geed for a fall crop; The plant
bed may need protection from the
sun. Third, July is not too late to
sow collard seed. Very often, the best
winter col lards are from late plant
ings. Four, fall crop Irish potatoes
are usually planted during the latter
part of July.
Poultry
Roy Dearstyne, head of the State
College Poultry Department, says
these hot summer days are trying
both for the poultryman and his
birds. To keep efficiency as near the
top us possible, the poultryman is
advised to follow these simple-rules:
Don't overcrowd your birds, and be
sure to provide plenty of ventilation
in the houses; provide an ample!
number of feed hoppers and water
containers; cull at all times, destroy
ing crippled and sub-normal birds;
check lice and mite infestations; vac
cinate against chicken pox; exam
ine birds for intestinal parasites;
feed a balanced diet; and collect and
market eggs frequently.
Dairying
July is a bad month for dairy
cows, says John Arey, extension
dairyman, because of the annoyance
from flies and the heat and variation
in the quality and quantity of feed
furnished by pastures. Since grazing
in most permanent pastures gets
short and tough during the summer,
temporary grazing crops such
lespedeza and Sudan grass are need
ed as supplements. Unless they are
provided, it will be necessary, in or
der to maintain a uniform nnlk flow
to feed silage and increase the pro
tein content of the grain mixture to
around 20 per cent. The grain allow
ance should be increased gradually
as the quantity of grazing in the pas
ture diminishes.
Agronomy
Extension Agronomist Enos Blair
says one of the most important jobs
during July is threshing small
grains on farms where they are not
harvested with combines. In either
case, after the grain is threshed, it
should be stored in tight bins where
it will be easy to treat with carbon
bisulphide should grain moths and
weevils attack. These pests usually
make their appearance two to three
weeks after the grain has been
threshed. Blair also advises keeping
the mowing machine busy until all
weeds in the lespedeza have been
clipped off and until the pastures
have been mown over.
Fruits
Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant
pathologist, suggests that apple
growers should keep up their spray
program during this period, since
blotch and bitter rot usually^ make
their appearance at lhia time of the
year. Success in the control of these
two diseases will depend upon the
thoroughness and timeliness of the
applications of cover sprays.
Flowers
The dahlia, one of tho most popu
lar of the fall flowers, requires close
-attention from the gardener at this
season of the year,?says Jame-T^G.
Weaver, State College horticulturist.
I During the growing season, the dah
lia requires a largr nmmint #.f wa.
Iter If the plants continually wilt
during the day and the soil seems
dry, this indicates that transpiration
and evaporation are in excess of
absorption. So, water is needed to
keep the halnnrf morn cvnn
suffering from lack of water will be
come hard and stunted, and, of
course, cannot produce the best flow
era. The best time to "waterHahlias
is late in the afternoon.

Spending Program
For The New Year
New Peacetime Record In Nyw
In the Making in the
I'iuIim! States
Washington ? Sotting a peace
time record, Congress has authorized
Federal expenditures of $13,110,000,
1)66 for the new fiscal year $1,749,
000,000 above last session's aggre
gate
Legislative leaders pointed out |
that a substantial part of the in
crease was due to factors over which
Congress had little direct control.
These include such things as the
mounting reserve funds for old
age pensions and the railroad re
tirement program.
So-called permanent appropria
tions?such as interest on the nation-:
ul debt?for which Congress must
provide stipulated amounts annual
ly. amounted to $3,634,812,005 this
year.
President Roosevelt criticised some
of the increases, notably the $338.
000,000 which the Senate tacked onto
the Agriculture Department Appro
priation bill for parity payments to
farmers and for disposal of surplus
commodities He held that Congress
should provide the taxi s to raise the
money.
Expansion of the army and navy
in the face of troubled world condi
tions accounted for $1,783,187,847.
This included $773,049,151 to con
tinue the naval building program and
for new naval air bases in the na
tion's outposts The army got $732,
187.871. including funds for modern
weapons and for expansion of the
air corps to 5.500 planes.
Well-informed legislators told the
House the military forces would re
quire $2,000,000,000 next year when
the peak of the navy's construction
program would t>? reached.
The appropriation for relief dur
ing the fiscal year which started July
1 was $1,755,600,000. in contrast to
$2,91 J,605,000 voted last session. One
reason for the decrease was that
funds for the Public Works Admin
istration. Rural Electrification and
parity payments to farmers, all of
which were iricluded in last year's
reiirf bill, were provided separate -
ly this year.
Little change* Is likely to be made
in the appropriation total durihg the
rest of this session, for the only bills
awaiting action are the District of1
Columbia Supply bill and the final
"catch-all" deficiency appropriation. !
Their totals will be relatively small.
