Cotton and Tobacco
Face Real Trouble
Cotton and tobacco are two great j
export crops in which North Caro
lina farmers are vitally interested
and, according to experts of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture, j
those fanners who produce crops of j
which a substantial portion go for
export are going to be in trouble this
fall.
This makes it absolutely necessary j,
that the three-point Agricultural Ex
tension program of (1), food for lhan
and beast; (2), a more fertile soil,
and (3), a balancing of cash crops
with livestock be widely adapted in
the State.
Right now, the Nation is moving
as fast as it can in organising to
wards a defense program to protect |
this country against onslaughters
and conquests of totalitarian nations.
State College is aiding in this pro
gram as its facilities permit and f
while the Nation attempts to put idle j
men, money and factories to work to
produce the needed munitions of war,
the College Extension Service is call
ing upon its county agents, special
ists and other trained experts to fos
ter the production and conservation
of all kinds of food and feedstuffs.
It is, of course, expected that the
prepardness program will eventually
make up for the loss of foreign mark
ets for farm produce but as Secre
tary Wallace has pointed out, until
the prepardness program is suffici
ently underway to have this effect,
farmers should be careful that they
are not the victims of the war's in
terference with world trade. In other
words, College officials believe that
security for North Carolina farmers
lies in the definite adoption of a safe
farming program and it is not yet
too late to plant additional food and
feed crops to be saved for use on the
farm no matter what happens.
Every farmer in North Carolina
should give this matter serious con
sideration at once and be prepared
on his own farm to defend his family
against economic disaster.
Your opinion is not as important
as the reason, if any, for your j
opinion.

Growers To Ballot
On Tobacco Quotas
Faced with a market situation
more serious than that of 1930-32,
flue-cured tobacco growers of North
Carolina and other Southern states
will go to the polla July 20 to vote on
a three-year control plan.
Recent amendments to the quota
provisions of the AAA program have
authorized this referendum, which, if
voted on favorably by a two-thirds
or more majority, would set up quo
tas on the 1941, 1942 and 1943 crops.
Heretofore, growers have voted on
only their next crop.
E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer
of N. C. State College, said any loan
arrangements to support the market
will depend upon a decision by grow
ers to regulate the marketings. A J
majority vote against quotas would
automatically eliminate any govern
ment loans.
If quotas are voted for three years,
the AAA executive officer explained,!
domestic manufacturers can pay fair
prices for their tobacco without fear
of excessive production during the
period. Then, too, the export trade
will be more likely to make pur
chases at reasonable prices, and the
government can give maximum sup
port to prices for the export grades.
Probably the greatest factor in the
present distressed situation is the
1939 crop, which was grown without
regard to allotments. Flinging cau
tion to the winds, growers barned a
1,160,000,000-pound crop, 34 percent
higher than the previous record crop
of 1937. The result was a 400,000,
000-pound surplus.
The second reason, and perhaps
almost as great as the overproduc
tion factor, was the loss of or the
seriously curtailed foreign markets
as a result of the present European
conflict. Coming together, the two
dragged down to an average of 14.8
cents a pound for the season. The
previous five-year average was 22.9
cents.

Cold Meats Ideal I
Far-Hot Season |
Wide Assortment of (Mi Cot* Pro-I
?ide Variety of Dfehes for Sum
mer Meals.
As assorted as a Smorgasbord, and I
in many ways just as intenotbiffi is J
a platter of cold cote of meat attrac-1
tively arranged to entice hot-weather
appetites. T
Inez S. Willson, home economist, j
calls to your attention that with cold |
cuts, variety is practically infinite. 1
There's sahuni of many kinds, veal
loaf, minced ham, liver sausage, corn-1
ed beef, spiced tongue and many oth-1
er specialties. Leftover roast thinly J
sliced and very cold can also find its I
place on a colorful platter arranged I
for buffet entertainment, the family
supper of for the unpredicted times
when guests "just drop in."
Fill Ring Bologna With Salad
Potato salad fits into the picture.
In fact, there's a special place fori
it?right in the center of a ring I
bologna in the middle of a platter.
The moat attractive cold meat I
platter will have meats with variety I
in color, flavor and shape. A con
trast of dark and light colors makes
the arrangement interesting.
The assortment of cold meats of
fers decided variety in flavor. Some
meats are smoked, o there are not.
The seasoning of cold meats is im
portant and since it is done on a!
scientific basis, each meat contains
the distinct spices and seasonings
peculiar to it alone. Many meats,
particularly the dry sausages, have
the favorite formula of the foreign]
lands which made them famous.
Vary Method of Cutting
Variety in shape is obvious as you |
see the rows of cold meats on a
counter?square, round, oblong, rec
tangular.
Slices cut diagonally give a larger
serving and a different shape. Large
slices may be rolled into cornucopias
and filled with carrot stivers, cheese
wedges, sweet pickles, olives or
cream cheese.
Large qlices may also be cut into
strips, triangle or other geometric
shapes for variety.
Served with a cold meat platter
you'll want an assortment of bread
for sandwiches, a varied relish plate
and cheeses.
