Proposes Return To Old Style Nostrums Secretary of State Hull came right back at Senator McNary. candidate for vice president on the Republican ticket, for advocating in his speech of acceptance "antiquated economic nostrums" as a remedy for the ills of agriculture. "I am sure." he said at a press con ference, "that it will be a matter of disappointment to the country ty see that Senator McNary, instead of dealing with existing acute prob lems and conditions in a moderniz ed and constructive manner which -ts so urgently demanded,?complo? cently falls back on antiquated and discredited economic nostrums such as the theory that the farmers can be saved by embargo tariffs. The Senator and his associates some years ago led the farmers into bankruptcy under the slogan of embargo tar iffs. "The farmers of the country will not soon forget that under this iden tical leadership the cash farm in come of the nation in 1032 had fall en to the ridiculously low level of 31,700,000,000, when our export mar kets had become restricted largely as a result of our own embargo pol icy. The American farmers will al so keep in mind the fact that amidst every sort of impediment and diffi culty growing out of wars and prep arations for wars, cash farm income rose to $7,700,000,000 in 1939, ex clusive of benefit payments. Ameri can farmers will, of course, take their choice of policies and of lead ership. As against the only alterna tive policy of autarchy, the recipro cal trade program and the policy on which it rests need no defense." Report Heaviest Yield Of Cotton In Thirty Years Crop in Martin County Will Be Around 6.000 Bales, It Is Estimated Martin County, according to un official estimates, will produce around 6.000 bales of cotton this season as compared with leas than 500 bales a year ago. The acreage was materially increased, and the poundage Is almost certain to ap proach a record, reports state. North Carolina's cotton yield is nqw estimated at 370 pounds per acre, 28 pounds above the previous record crop harvested in 1911. The 1940 record per acre yield, accord ing to the Crop Reporting Board of the Department of Agriculture, is 25 per cent above last year's hurvest and 33 per cent in excess of the prev ious ten year average. September 1 prospects point to a crop of 630,000 bales compared with 457,000 bales last year and a ten year (1929-38) average production of 658,000. The report shows an in crease in the Nortli Carolina crop of 42,000 bales above August 1 pros pects and 173,000 bales, or 38 per cent, above last year's production. Heavy rainfall during August re stored nearly depleted soil moisture in central and eastern counties and caused some wet weather shedding. Shedding, however, was not exces sive in view of the heavy load of fruit on plants at that time. In eastern Carolina, cotton is boil ed to the top of plants for the first time since weevils became a menace to the crop. Many counties now an ticipate nearly a bale to the acre. Western counties report prospects either equal to or slightly under last year's record yield for that area. Flood damage along the Roanoke and Mehcrrin Rivers in Halifax, North ampton and Bertie Counties caused considerable loss of cotton acreage. Although the number of weevils increased following the heavy Au gust rains, the crop was too far ad vanced to be damaged appreciably. Unusual weather and extensive mop ping where weevils were present, held crop damage from this source to a minimum this year. A United States cotton crop of 12, 772,000 bales is forecast by the Crop Reporting Board of the United States Department of Agriculture, based on conditions as of September 1, 1940. This is an increase of 1,343,000 bales from the forecast as of August 1, and compares with 11,817,000 bales in 1939, 11,943,000 bales in 1938, and 13,547,000 bales, the ten year (1929 38) average The indicated yield per a^^o^25(V^)Oundi^i^jLh^^econd Housing Continues At An Unusual Pace Housing, in the small-home brack ets, continues at the unusually rapid pace set earlier in the summer. In August, appliactions for FHA insur ance of mortgages on new small homes reached the third largest to tal in the agency's history?and were 45 per cent larger in number and 40 per cent more in amount than for August, 1939.
