FSA Borrowers In Good Standing In This County One hundred percent of the farm ownership borrowers in Jackson County are in good standing, ac cording to information just re ceived by the local FSA office. Sixteen of the 21 farm families now paying for farms are ahead of scheduled payments in the amount of $5,434.70. The other five who have bought farms are just on schedule. In addition there are ten who have paid in full. In Jackson County $79,922 has been spent for the purchase of farms and improvements, according to W. T. Brown, FSA Supervisor. Through April 10th principal re payments have been made of $43,776.51. . "These farm families are to be commended," states Mr. Brown, "on the progress they have made toward farm ownership." In addition to the money loaned to tenant farmers in Jackson County to buy farms and make improvements, many thousands of dollars are loaned each year to several hundred other farmers for the purchase of livestock, farm equipment, seed and fertilizer, minor building repairs, fencing and land improvement.

State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q?What is the best means of controlling the cabbage or "terra pin" bug? A?James T. Conner, Jr., new Extension entomologist at State college, says that the relatively new sabadilla dust in 10 and 20 per cent solutions for application now to cabbage, collard, turnip end other leafy crops is the best controlling agent. The 10 per cent dust is best for infestations by old er bugs. The 20 per cent dust for newer infestations. Dusting now will control the bugs which strike hardest during June, July and August Q?May home-grown strawberry plants be used successfully in this state? A?Yes, decidedly. Growers in the Chadburn-Wallace area lost more that $100,000 in this year's crop by importing strains of plants which proved to be sterile but which had been advertised as "im proved" types of established vari eties. Home-grown plants will be highly- satisfactory provided in spections for the control of disease and insects are properly made. Q?Why are North Carolina Editor And Manager Of Western Carolinian Elected For 1946-47 Jeafi Hall and Madrie Galloway of Hosman have been elected edi tor-in-chief and business manager, respectively, of The Western Car olinian, news organ of the student body at Western Carolina Teachers college.

Halliburton and Mary Hall Crawford, editor-in-chief and bus iness manager, respectively, of The Western Carolinian for this year. poultrymen having trouble getting chicks from the Rice Leghorn Farm in Missouri? A?Because that firm does not yet have the proper labels or pullorum control certificates from the Missouri Livestock Sanitary Jblq|ard. North Carolina requires certification that chicks brought into the state shall have less than two per cent pullorum infection. The same requirements are appli cable to state hatcheries. Sheep Shearing Schools Scheduled For County A great many people in Jack ton cbunty feel that more sheep could be carried on many farms in the county with satisfactory re turns to the owner. In the first place, sheep do not require large amounts of stored feed, but can harvest most of their feed if fur nished good pastures. The invest ment required to carry a fairly large number of sheep need not be great, and the sheep owner can lealize profits from his investment lrom both the sale of wool and lambs for meat. W^ol must be properly clipped, carefully prepared and handled, tor it to brii?g its full value. Some one has said the wool is the most valuable crop produced on the farm, and the most carelessly han dled. Monday, May 20, sheep shear ing schools will be held in Jackson county. The first school will be at Ralph Hunter's farm, East La Porte, at 9 a.m. The second school will be at A. J. Dills' farm, Sylva, at 2 p.m. All those interested in sheep are urged to attend one or both of these schools. , Half a million American G.I.s have returned to the farm since V-J Day bvt farm leaders are wonder rg if ;hey will remain per manently. Rayon prices, which may drop to around 22 cents per pound with in the year, are virtually certain to force a comparable reduction in cotton prices. RECAPPING II You Can't Re-TIRE Now ?Let Us CAP!
