Scares ?'':;; Commenting on the fact that con centrates are somewhat scarce: while rough feeds are more abundant, Earl H. Hostetler, of .the animal husbandry department, pointed out that the con sumers trend la now away from fat meat and! that there is a ready sale for meat produced largely on roughage-T such as pasture and legumes. To this feed, however, it is usually advisable to add some soybeans, . cotton seed. peanuts and the like to increase flesh ing; "t o These feeds also increase the amount of nitrogen in the manure. - Hostetler has just returned from the National Meat Investigation Confer-, ence held in Chicago a few days ago and he reported : that oyer the coun try as a whole there is a definite trend toward the' production of meat ani mals with rough foods rather than by tne use- of large amounts of concen trates. Prof.- 1. V. Starkey, chief of the animal husbandry department at Clemson College, . also believes that this is a good year to fatten beef cattle. "There la every i Indication," he says, "that the price of beef will hold up for some time. Extension Service Editors n Annual Lleeting At Cornell it CtiiJ l'i.:i..:y, ;.:s recently.

Carolina Spring Potato Crop To Test Warren Law : The Warren Potato Bill that has Just become law ' la being ' watched with interest throughout all the pota to growing sections of - the . country. Dealers are also 'speculating, on Its probable ' tttet&:''':i;fc-i , ,For the most part, growers and deal ers appear to.be In favor of it, at least to the extent of giving it a trial and see what It does. ; . The law differs materially from measures that have been used to bol ster grain and cotton markets in that it does not limit the quantity that a grower may produce, but it does put a limit on the quantity he can market. Above that amount he will be assessed a stiff tax which is expected to keep the surplus off the market. In this respect the law Is much sounder than the -other measures since It does not call for a huge outlay of public funds; It is up to growers themselves to maintain their market under the ma- chlnery provided. It will probably get its first thor ough try out when the Carolina deals open next spring since they are about the first of the early states to ship in large quantity within a short period of time. ' In the event tnat potato prices are high next season there will probably be some reaction from consumers, just as then has on meats. Consum ers are becoming more antagonistic to efforts aimed at increasing the price of basic foods. Unfortunately, potatoes are a commodity thaV lends Itself to substitution. , .. High prices might permanently endanger the In dustry through causing consumers to. use more of other vegetables or sub stitute foods. - Enforcement, will be one of the main problems as there are more po tato producers than auythlng else and It. will be nearly Impossible to police all the small growers. - COTTON LOAN EOLICYWILt BOOSTPRICE Crop Here Will Command Premium On Grade And Length 40f Staple ADJUSTMENT PLAN . RUNS FOUR YEARS Loans Available Only To Farmers Who Cooperate With Government By ROY H. PAPK Raleigh Correspondent, State Farmer The 10-cent loan policy of the AAA, designed to . guarantee every cotton grower cooperating in the adjustment program at least 13 cents a pound for his 1938 crop, may result, in 13 or 14 cent. cotton for a number of Caro lina farmers, J. F. Crlswell, in charge of the cotton pro gram in North Carolina, told the Raleigh correspon dent of The State Boy U. Park Farmer Section in an exclusive In terview. He . pointed out in the first place that the 10-cent loan plus the ad justment payment to guarantee at least ia cents a pound to every cotton grower cooperating in the adjust ment program 'or bis 1935 crop is be ing made on the basis of low mid dling 7-8 cotton while In the two Carollnas well over half the crop Is of a higher quality and will command both grade and . staple premiums. In the second place, six of the 10 spot markets that are being used as a base in calculating the adjustment payments are in the West and local markets in the Carollnas usually run at least a cent or more a pound above the Western markets due to the ad vantage of being located In close proximity to the mills. The 10 spot markets being used as a base are Dal las, Galveston, Houston, Memphis, New Orleans, Montgomery, Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta, and Norfolk Dally verage . Under the plan, a dally average of these. 10 markets will be kept and the difference between this average and 12 cents on a day a farmer -sells his cotton will be paid back to him in the form of an adjustment payment pro vided he has been cooperating In the adjustment program. . The adjustment . payment will be based, on ' the average of these 10 markets and the amount of money the farmer actually receives for the cotton he sells will not affect it. , v Crlswell said these adjustment pay ments , will be made to farmers In lump sums ' and at three - different times;' on December 18 for cotton sold up , to December 1; on March 15 for cotton sold up to March 1; and on August 15. ' for cotton sold up to August 1. (Continued On Page 1) S.
