Chietion: How much grain should
be triven poultry during the devel
mine period?
Answer: In feeding grain the poul
trvman should bear in mind that birds
w;,l not develop normally on grain
alone, and that a balanced develop
ing mash should be before the birds
t all times. Good results have been
secured by having both grain and
inash available to the birds at all
time Other poultrymen give a lib
eral feeding of grain in the morning
fli'ain in the evening, uoin sys
terns have given good results and the
main .thine to remember is that grain
should be fed more liberally during
the de eloping period than any other
time and that the grain mixture
should consist of equal parts of yel
low corn and wheat.
Question: When should nitrate of
soda be applied to vegetable crops?
Answer: The quality Uf succu
lent vegetables is dependant upon
rapid growth and this can be secured
by the application of nitrate of soda
or its equivalent in soluble nitrogen,
but the time for applying the soda
depends also upon the vigor and
growth of the crop and upon sea
tonal conditions. The grower must
use his best judgment in determining
when to apply the side dressing. Care,
however, should be taken when the
application is made. The soda should
not come in contact with the plants
as this will cause severe damage by
burning.

est everyone.
By MAURICE MERRYFIELD
;rirrarmnaJ Illustrated Kec$ Writer
WICHITA. Kas Recent disclos
ure of some of the liuKe sums paid
out as AAA farm benefits raised the
question of to what extent agricul
ture has been established on a huge
scale.
An impression that farming In the
future, and to an IncreasiiiK extent
during the present, would be done
on a large scale. ml?ht have been
given by AAA statistics which re
vealed payments ranRinj; from JT'O,
000 to J1.O00.000 to some Individual
producers, planters and corporations
controlling farm acrcajre.
Such an impression Is corrected by
census figures which show that 96.?
per cent of the 6,50n.O0O farmers in
United States cultivate fewer than
BOO acres each. At the same time,
this group farms S3 per cent of the
improved farm land.
One of the alarming trends of
modern agriculture Is the growing
number of absentee landlords and
corresponding decrease in the number
of farmers who own their own land
'however.' The alrcliteo landlord
In United
rope but was not true
States until recently. ;
This picture of American farming
is further supported by AAA records
which report payments of farm
benefits In excess of $10,000 each to
only H3 of the 1.031.000 cotton
growers who received bonollts. An
other 227 received AAA checks rang
ing from r,.000 to J10.000.
On this basis, more than 99 per
cent of the cotton growers received
less than $5,000 each. And cotton,
together with sugar and rice. Is one
of the few commodities which it Is
practical to raise on a large scale
under present conditions.
Chain Farm Increating
In other words, farming on a huge
scale Ih still the exception. The
average farm Is still restricted to an
acreage which It la possible for the
farmer and his family, with the as
sistance of a hired "man or two In
some Instances, to operate. And the
huge agricultunU plants of hundreds,
or even thousands of acres, la still
the exception.
Rut certain factors Indicate that
there la a distinct tendency toward
larger scale farming and that it Is
In the future that agriculture w ill be
organized on a far different busis
than It Is today.
The size of the average farm has
been Increasing from 1SX0 when the
average size was 134 acres until it Is
now about 1&0. This trend Is attrib
uted in large meuaure to the advan
tages of utilizing power equipment,
modern scientific technique of farm
ing, and economies possible In raising
livestock In quantity.
Farm authorities foresee a gradual
evolution toward large scale corporate-controlled
farms In some lines,
particularly In rasing of such com
modities as wheat, sugar, cot toil, rice ,
and corn. Limitations aje placed on j
such expansion by the fact that (
present prices make It unprofitable
to attempt to have rotation of crops
on large-scalo corporate farms. It
has been found practical to raise only
one crop on existing .corporate farms
since the setup Is too complex to
permit rotation.
Mr. C. L. Newman, of Beach Nut
Company, came in with the tomato
plants on Tuesday for the two acre
teat on the Howell Place on Jonathan
Creek. These plants have been grown
in the greenhouse at State College.
This green house was built by the
Reavh Nut Company for the college.
We are fortunate in having these
people t work with us and carry on
these tomato trials. ,

conference of agricultural workers of
the mountain counties. This confer
ence is being held again this year at
1-ake Lure.
Wake up farmers f North Carolina
and organize yourselves into a strong
militant farm organization. IK what
your governor suggested: "Save Your
selves." Don't wait until someone
comes- along and hogs you to "jine"
.something. Join NOW, TODAY of
your own accord. If you don't know
how to join, drop a card U the North
Carolina- Farm Hureau, Greenville,
N. C, for information. Join NOW,
because:
1. You want to do your part.
2. president Roosevelt and all of
our great agricultural leader ray,
"organize."
,'!. It is your duty to join an or
ganization of good standing in your
community, your stale and your na
tion, for the family, your community,
your protection' of your.scjf, your
state and 'your nation.
4. Because Industry, Labor and all
Professions, are already organized
thus leaving Agriculture unorganized
and VICTIM of circumstances.
5. Because it is legal, right, cour
ageous, and progressive to organize.
6. Because it improves one's self to
be a member of a progressive organ
ization of people who will fight for
the RIGHT thing and for justice.
7. Because it will insure us beater
citizenship and better government
to have our rural people prop
erly organized..' This is an ag
ricultural state, and according
to the principles of democracy, "The
Majority Rules," but we, the rural
people can never RULK as long as
we are unorganized.
8. Because a good organization will
safe-guard us against Radicalism,
Communism, and Reds.
ti. Because it is fundamentally
right and sound for good people to
be properly organized.
10. Because it is educational, eco
nomical and social to be organized.
Haywood county farmers have co-operated
very much in the past two
years, but one thing more is needed
that is an all time organization. The
National Grange and the American
Farm Bureau are two organizations,
in this state that every farmer should
belong to a(, least one and if possi
ble to both. If we were organized
in this county n.s we should be then the
county agent's work would be much
more effective. Farmers, if we do not
get what we are entitled to then do
not censure the other fellow, but
join a farm organization and push for
iK'ttcr things.
