Department of Agricultural bboklet os “Managing Farm Fi nances.” ‘armers must hot only be ex growing crops and raising livestock, but must also know how to handle the complexities of the business side of farming, the coun ty agent points out. .sThe major point of good financial manage ment on farms, he says, are set .out in the new publiction, which w^ prepared toy the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. The booklet suggests things to look for in investing money and gives pointers on buying a farm. Farm peirt at A Motion entitled “How Much Is a Farm Worth?” explains how to figure the value of a farm based on annual returns from the farm and the interest rate for loans. The publication discusses use of credit for buying farm machinery as well as farm. land. It explains how one can budget his debts for seasonal needs, to avoid paying interest on money until the money is actually needed. It gives hints for making wise decisions as to investments for the home as well, as credit for .purchase of farm machinery and for other produc tive purposes. It also explains the use of notes, mortages, and other credit instruments. , T|^at durittmasjf 'I'o Reduce Fire Hazard ■I N. McNair Smith ATTORNEY AT LAW General Practice There are sections on “Reserves in Farming” and instance against fire, windstorm, ana hail, as well as auto and life insutance, Also included are tables usefhl in figur ing out how fast a dollar accum ulates to compound, interest over given periods of .tune, and how much must be .paid each year in order to pay off a l^n in any given number of years. ■Copies of “Managing Farm' Fin ances” may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.. for 20 cents each. I The Products Laboratory, after trying various chemical treatments suggested for making Christmas trees less isflammable, has con cluded that keeping the tree stand ing in water is about the most ■practical, satisfactory, and con venient method, says the State College Extension Service. The precedure recommended is as follow: (1) Buy a tree that has been cut recently. (2) Cut off the end of the trunk diagonally at least one inch above the original cut end, and stand the tree at once in a container of water, keeping the water level^§?)ove the cut suf- face during the entire time the tree is in .the house. If the tree is not '.to be set up for several days, it should be kept standing in water in a cool place. If started in time this treatment not only prevents the needles from drying out and becoming inflam mable, but it will also keep them fresh and green and retard the fall of the needles. Regardless of treatment all pos sible precautions against fire should be in effect around the Christmas tree. Defective electrical connections should be eliminated and an accumulation of combusti ble decorations should not be put on or beneath the JreeL The tree should be .placed so that its acci dental burning will not ingnite curtains or other combustible furnishings nor trap the occupants of a room or building. Precaution to prevent fires is good .business at any time but e- specially at Christmas with so many extra visitors and with the addition Of lights and decorations addisg to normal frie hazards 0 been damaged by rain. The lowest loan made on white grades of cotton with a staple of 1-1|32 inch is 20.02 cents per pound, The loan value of low middling 1-1132 indi cotton is 26.97 per pound in eastern North Caro lina and slightly higher in the western part of the State. The farmer who sells this quality cot ton for 20 cents per .pound is losing approximately $35 a baile, states Mr. Holler. The grower may find out the loan value on any bale of cotton at no cost. All he has to do is're quest his ginner to submit cut samples to the government cotton classing office for classification. The office will return to the grow er a green card bowing the grade, staple, and loan value. Classing offices^ heavily over worked a few weeks ago, now have cau^t up and are giving prompt service, S^.,.-Hener says. The Ra leigh office now is classing cotton the same day it is received. No producer therefore, should find it necessary to wait longer than four days from the time the sample is mailed until he has the class card. Atoy itrodiioer can ‘obtain a government loan by placing your cotton in any approved bonded warehouee or, if the warehouses in his area are filled, by storing it on the farm. Requests for loans on farm-stored cotton should' be made to the County PMA office.
