Washington Farm New* . 1940 PARITY PAYMENTS COM PARED WITH 1959. The Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration has announced the rates of the parity payments which will be made to producers who plant within their 1940 acreage allotments of cot ton, corn, wheat and rice. The payments will be made on the normal yield of each producer's acre age allotment The rates announced are: Cotton, 1.55 cents per pound; corn 5 cents per bushel; wheat, 10 cents per bushel; rice, 1.7 cents per hundredweight. These price adjustment or parity payments, which supplement the reg arm/tnif-nral conservation pay mental be made under the pro visions of Section 303 of the Agricul tural Adjustment Act of 1938, and the 1940 Department of Agriculture Appropriation Act whicr provided $225,000,000 to be paid to producers of five major crops. The 1940 Appropriation Act pro vided for these payments to be made on the five basic crops in 1940 if the 1939 average farm prices were less than 75 per cent of parity. Since the estimated 1939 season average price for each kind of tobacco was above 75 per cent no price adjust ment payments will be made on that crop in 1940. Estimates are that the fund made available for 1940 parity payments will be divided among the four ma jor crops as follows: Cotton, $96, 000,000; com, $48,600,000; wheat, $57,100,000; rice, $300,000. This al location is made according to the formula established in the Adjust ment Act of 1938. Cotton, com, wheat and rice prices were all higher in 1939 than in 1938. ? Because cotton prices improved rela tively less than those for the other .* crops, however, the proportion of the parity fund going to cotton producers in 1940 is larger than it was in 1939. Estimated season average prices as reported by the Agricultural Market ing Service on December 19, 1939, were used in determining the extent to which the various crops share in ' the fund. Other items allocated out of the $225,000,000 fund include a transfer of $11,000,000 to complete 1939 price adjustment payments and $12,000,000 ? for administrative expense and re serve. Officials indicated that estimated increases in participation in 1940 compared to 1939 estimates are re sponsible for the somewhat lower rates of the parity payments for 1940. The 1939 parity payments were made under the provisions of the Price Ad justment Act of 1938 which made available $212,000,000 for that pur pose. Besides the parity payments, far mers who cooperate in the 13*0 AAA Farm Program, and plant within their acreage allotments, will also re ceive agricultural conservation pay ments. The following table shows the rates for agricultural conservation pay-1 meats and parity payments which are additional. (Figures are given in cents for 1939 and 1940 on the basis of pounds of cotton, bushels of com and wheat, and hundredweights of Tice.)

Rowell, Extension entomd- r ogist of State College, says that j, encouraging reports of boll weevil control through the 1-1-1 molasses e poisoning treatment continue to pour in to his office. As an example of s the effectiveness of the contorl j measures advocated by the Exten- fi sion Service, Rowell quoted the fol- r following report from P. W. Beams, assistant farm agent in Halifax * county. . - ? W ' "Three farmers?u. n. amiw 01 Scotland Neck, R. Hunter Pope of Enfield, and J. G. Shields of Soot- t land Neck?averaged 499.7 pounds y of lint per acre on 276 acres treated ^ with the molasses poison. Farmers not' using poison made a\erage yields of from 150 to 200 poundsd of lint per acre, with a number of growers reporting less 1 than 100 pounds per acre. "Mr. Smith made a yield of 510 x pounds per acre on 87 acres, where * the cotton was grown on land that 1 had a good growth of lespedesa turn- 1 ed under. Mr. Pope reported an av- * erage of 498 pounds of lint per c acre on 211 acres. Mr. Shields grew * 493 pounds per acre on 28 acres." * Rowell explained that the 1-1-1 - treatment consists of mixing one * pound of calcium arsenate with one 1 gallon of wpter and one gallon of 1 cheap molasses, and mopping the cot- < ton beginning several days before 1 the squares form, and continuing at 1 the rate of one application per week until at least three applications are made. 1 "The best results are obtained when 1 the treatment is made early, and at ] least three applications of the poison ( mixture are used," the entomologist t stated. Farmers who mopped late, i and mopped only once or twice, ob- 1 tairred better yields than those who i but their yields fell short at those ] did not try to control the weevil, ] of growers who followed the com- ( plete recommendations. j STATE COLLEGE ! ANSWER&TMELY ( FARM QUESTIONS ! i I QUESTION: What is the best ra- j tion for feeding pigs? , ANSWER: There is no one best ration, for it is possible to increase , the net returns from the herd by .j selecting each season some combina tion of feeds that will make a well balanced, efficient ration at a mini mum cost A more or less standard . ration that produces good results j consists of corn, tankage or fith . meal, and a mineral mixture. Haw- ^ ever, substitutes that are more eco nomical can be made for some of .the ingredients. The amount and kind of substitutes are given in Extension Circular No. 288, "Raising Hogs in North Carolina" and copies of this circular may be had free upon appli cation to the Agricultural Editor at State College. QUESTION: Is it too early to plant garden crops in the open? ANSWER: ipeiog pUwtftig* in j the open depend primarily on the temperature requirements of the dif ferent crope. The- hardy crops such as cabbage, kale, mustard, lettuce, parsley, spinach unions, and the smooth-seeded garden peas will stand hard frosts and may be planted in the open six to eight weeks before danger of killing frost is over. Crops classed as half-hardy' such as aspa ragus, beets, celery, turnips, radishes, chard, cauliflour, and Irish potatoes will stand bght freezes, but usually should not be planted untih three or four weeks before the date of the last-killing frost. All warm season crops should not be planted until all dauger of frost is past QUESTION: When should broilers be started on a fattening feed? ANSWER:. Broilers are usually started on the fattening ration-*sjjout seven to ten days before they are to be sold. The birds should be approxi mately one and ons-half to (me and three-quarters pounds each when fat tening begins. All other feed should be discontinued and a special ration given for the feeding period. How ing period. The first contains six pounds of.,corn meaj and four pounds of flotir, standard middling^ or ground outs. The second ration fc made by mixing six pounds of corn meal, two pounds of l&Mt shorts, either of these rations to mix a siop* py feed that will jpur readily from H -|T6ffl|rr u i 11 nY%i tfjL''" ~ ' I4 PROGRESS wi? sraft # j.; off "from the winning to tb> .dpE Looking at Washington 1 MtaM.nl , ? , xf.\ 1 ' 1 iroclaiming "cuts"' and "slashesV, gs&jjs conomy or not.

Usually the! louse, acting first, makes reductions ind the Senate, acting later, puts flck the mdney. Judging from the last, the House, after making a paper ecord, accepts the Senate's figures, j ?or example, last year the House , ma#ed seventeen appropriation bills, arrying $8,291,000,000. The samej ?ills, when the Senate got through , vith them, had been increased $703,-j, ?00,000. The House sccepted $603,-', >00,000 of the Senate increases. i The greatest peace-time Navy sup >ly bill was placed before the House > ?y a committee last week. The meas me appropriates $966,722,878 which, >esidea the regular expense of the ?; taval establishment, provides funds o continue the construction of eight i jattleships, eleven crusiers, two air- < ?raft carriers, forty-two destroyers, : wenty submarines and eighteen auxi- ' iary vessels. In addition, it provides , or new ships to be laid down during he 1941 fiscal year as follows: Two tdditional 45,000-ton battleships, one lircraft carrier, two cruisers, eight lestroyers, six submarines, one sub narine tender, three seaplane tenders rad one mine-sweeper. Headers should understand that >e confused with an authorization bis is an appropriating ?il, not to urogram. Then is pending in Con gress a Committee-endorsed bill to luthorize construction within the lext two years of twenty-one addi ;ionaI warships, twenty-two auxiliary /essels, and about 1,000 more air planes. This measure carries no ap propriation and union Congress sub sequently provides the money, it neans nothing at all/ 1 Tie size of the Navy of thin na tion is established theoretically by an | authorization just as the size of the? debt of the nation is limited to $54, 300,000,000. Authorization of a Navy construction of a single schooner, of stated size does not initiate the After the.authorization has been pass ed, setting the size of the Navy by law, Congress appropriates money for the construction of ships. The history of the Navy reveals fits and starts in the process of con- j structing a fleet in being. In 1921, nearly $800,000,000 worth of fighting ships were sunk in the disarmament parley. For eleven years, we expect ed the world to shape itself toward peace and during that time the Unit ed States LUd down ^ grand total of thirty-six ships, against 166 by Japan and 128 by England. President Roosevelt, in his first year in office, allocated $288,000,000 from emer gency funds for: the construction of 82 ships. The next year, the Vinson Trammell Act gave us *4 additional ships, 45 of. which are bow in service and the rest in various stages of con struction. In May, 1988, came the billion-doiQ8r building program, but, up to the first of this month, Con gress had actually appropriated only $70,000,000 and the Fleet has been increased by exactly two oil tankers, Purchased ready-built -J5T However, under construction are the vessels listed above, soma of gWi wffl take their ptecaa in the fleet this year, and the complete program is expected to be finished ly 1944.

Here's a warning to North Caro lina Irish potato growers from How mi R. Garriss, assistant Extension - plant pathologist of State College: I A new bacterial wilt disease, call-, ed "Bacterial Ring Rot/' has attach ed Irish potatoes in 26 States, j and disastrous losses have been suffered - in several areas. The disease is I spread through seed potatoes; there fore, Tor Heel growers should bo careful where they buy seed pota toes, and should take definite steps . to control the disease when it is found. ? The disease attacks the tubers, a causing a grayish to brownish dis- a coloration of the vascular ring, which - is quite often followed by soft nit with a final loos of the whole tuber. Symptoms in the field are best de tected 80 to 90 days after planting, or just before the tops begin to die. A rather sudden wilting of the tops takes place with final browning and drying. To prevent spread of the disease, Garriss recommends that the lcnift being used to cut the potatoes be sterilized frequently by dipping for a few seconds in a germicide disinfect ant solution, or be dropped into boil ing wather for a short time. Exr - periments have shown that if you cut < through a potato with ring rot, the nex ten and sometimes more healthy potatoes cut with the same knife will become infected. "If possible, get seed from a locali ty that is free from the rot," the Ex tension specialist advised. "We, here at State College, be glad to furnish the latest available information on disease-free sources. It is wise to buy from a State with a good cer- ( tification system, and to buy with a flat money-back guarantee that the f seed poatoes are not infected with ring rot If you think the disease is ( present treat toe seed pieces by dip ping them into a solution of Semesan Bel or Mercural (prepared according , to manufacturer's directions), and j dry before, planting/' , ? .. ??? i.l . find.Mnleh ftvfitem I A system of permanent cover J ? crop and mulching of trees with I, ? cuttings of-legumes and straw will I ? reduce erosion in orchards, H im-|| ? prove the .bearing qualities of fruit II ? trees, advises H.
