Down through the years, the words "John Deere" and
"economy" have been synonymous. The John Deere "40"
Tractor, shown above cultivating corn, lives up to this great
reputation in full measure, and it won't take you long to prove
its savings on your farm.
But economy is only one of the 40' s good points. Regular
equipment includes the easy-to-use 3-point implement hitch,
famous Touch-o-matic hydraulic control, exclusive Load-and-Depth
Control, deep, coil-spring cushion seat, and many,
many other features to make your farming work go faster,
easier, better than ever before.
And, remember, you can use many working tools you already
have on the farm or you can choose from the modem John
Deere-built line of matching Quik-Tatch equipment.

FARM ITEMS
By W. C. Williford
County Farm Agent
There is still money available
for cost sharing in carrying out
practices under the 1955 ASC
Program.' Ther are over 1120
farms in Hoke County and only
418 have made requests for fed
eral cost sharing in the perform
ance of conservation practices.
The question is: "Are the other
700 carrying out practices without
government aid?" If you are not
carrying out conservation prac
tices because your are not able
to afford them, I would suggest
that you apply at the ASC of
fice for help.
There is one practice in parti
cular which every farmer in
Hoke County needs. That is es
tablishing a winter cover crop to
protect that land against erosion.
Wind erosion does a great deal
of damage in Hoke County in ad
dition to water erosion. Crops
that you might be interested in
planting are: oats, rye, barley,
wheat, crimson clover, hairy
vetch, and annual ryegrass. These
crops must be planted by Novem
ber 1st in order to get help from
the ASC office.
There is one item you should
take in consideration before you
plant cover crops on land that is
to be used for tobacco next year.
That is the nematode problem.
Nematode control is a very young
science, and a lot of work needs
to be done on it. Five different
kinds of root knot nematodes at
tack tobacco, and according to
the latest information available,
oats is the only cover crop that
is resistant to all five kinds.
The following items will be
especially interesting to the fam
ily gardener and back yard far
mers. People are continually ask
ing me to help them figure out
how much insecticide or how
much fertilizer to use on a 1000
square feet if it takes a certain
amount per acre. This type of
problem is not too difficult, but
it is time consuming.
A mimeographed sheet of con
version tables, which will ans
wer practically all questions a-
long this line, is available at my
office. Anytime you have the
problem to figure out how many
pounds of seed to use on your
lawn, how many pounds of fer
tilizer to use on your garden, or
other similar problems, the mi
meographed table should answer
the question for you. You can
pick one up at my office or let
me know you want one and I will
mail it to you.
The question of planting a few
peach or apple trees continues to
come up In the fall of the year.
Personally, I think that you are
wasting time to plant just a few
fruit trees. As a financial invest
ment, it is usually bad business.
A few trees are so much trouble
for the amount of fruit you get
off of them that you could have
bought the fruit cheaper.
If you insist on planting a
backyard orchard, you can get a
list of recommended varieties
from this office and also infor
mation on treating the trees for
insects and diseases.
With winter comin?, it is time
for your poultry flock to be put
in the laying house. There are
many problems such as lice, bad
colds, etc. to develop when the
chickens are housed. The bulle-
tin featured this week is Exten
sion Circular 279 entitled "Lay
ing Flock Management". It should
be if interest to poultry growers.

People & Issues

EREWING Unless we mis
take the signs of the times a po
litical division is in the making
between one W. Kerr Scott and
one Luther H. Hodges. And we
''on't think it requires the smart
est man in Tar Hoelia to sense
the feeling that the Squire of
Haw River is liable to kick-up
his heels at the man he support
ed for lieutenant governor, and
who in turn is regarded as hav
ing voted for Scott in his senate
race against Lennon in '54.
But Kerr Scott, according to
his own words is not an easy man
to figure out! He opposed Urn
stead for Governor in 1952 after
Umstead had supported him in
48. And in turn Scutt supported
Hubert Olive who is reported to
have voted for Charlie Johnson
in the '48 primary.
Scott's refusal to go along with
the Southern coalition proposal
advanced at the Southern Gover
nors conference and endorsed by
Hodges was a straw in the wind.
Then the Squire of Haw River's
statement that, "I like Stevenson,
but I'm no fool about him," could
not be regarded as backing up
Hodges who is an all-out support
er of Adlai Stevenson. Could be
that Scott's coolness toward Ste
venson may come from, the fact
that Hodges has been tooting
Stevenson's horn quite loudly of
late. Otherwise, Scott's attitude
is a little hard to understand, for
at the Democratic convention in
1952 he supported Stevenson as
his first choice when most of the
Tar Heel delegates were support-!
ing Senator Russell of Georgia.
The former Democratic Presi
dential nominee of 1952 who ser
ved as Governor of Illinois while
Scott was serving as Governor

A RECORD-BREAKING NEW CHEVROLET
FRIDAY, NOV. 4
HOKE AUTO COMPANY
Phone 363 Raeford, N. C.
of North Carolina is known to
feel kindly and highly of Scott.
ERVIN AND CARLYLE Scott
was not the only Tar Heel Dem
ocratic party leader who weak
ened in his support of Stevenson
last week. Seantor Ervin also ap
pears to be getting in a position
to do a "Truman act" end sup
port someone other than Steven
son should it become expedient.
Congressman Carlyle of the Sev
enth District was quoted as say
ing that the Democrats should
nominate someone other than
Stevenson. Carlyle may have op
position for renomination from a
Stevenson advocate in the person
of Alton Lennon, who in 1953
after he was named Senator ad
vocated Stevenson's nomination
in '56. Ervin appears to be in
complete agreement with Scott
regarding Stevenson, but goes a
long with Hodges in support of
the "coalition" idea, calling it
"wise".
BALLENTINE We under
stand that some of the politicians
have been discussing the possi
bility of bringing together a co
alition of the Scott and Umstead
forces to support L. Y. (Stag)
Ballentine for governor against
Hodges. We seriously doubt that
such a coalition can be formed
for the '56 race. Ballentine is a
good middle of the road man who
has done a good job in every of
fice he has held, having served
as county commissioner, state
senator, lieutenant governor and
state commissioner of agricutlure.
But to run for governor Ballen
tine would have to forego anoth
er term as commissioner of ag
riculture, an almost sure job for
four more years if he wants it.
If there is to be formidable op
position to Hodges, and our guess
is that there will be, Henry Jor
dan, who will not have to give
up any office to run is certainly
the most likely candidate at pre
sent. Recently some of the poli
ticos have been attempting to
persuade Jordan to run for lieu
tenant governor and not run for
governor, but reports are that
they have not been able to make
any headway. With the former
highway chairman it seems to be
number 1 place or nothing.

SLOW DOWN Some are
saying that Governor Hodges in
his pace as governor should fol
low the admonition of the Motor
Vehicle Department's safety slo
gan, "Slow Down And Live."
Since the General Assembly ad
journed Hodges has been going
at what many consider much too
rapid a pace for a man 57 years
of age. While Hodges is a much
stronger man physically than the
late Governor Umstead the work
and life of a governor is most
strenuous. He is going at a rate
beyond the call of duty, and un
less he slows up, it will be well
for the people to be most careful
in selecting their lieutenant gov
ernor as well as the gubernatorial
candidate in the '56 primary.
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES
If North Carolina had a presi
dential primary it might well
have considerable more influence
in the selection of the 1956 pres
idential nominees. Bills provid
ing for presidential primaries
have been introduced in recent
cessions of the General Assem
bly. In the 1949 or '51 session
the writer (Cliff Blue) introduc
ed a presidential primary bill; In
1953 Senator Terry Sanford in
troduced a similar bill and in the
1955 session Rep. Henry Hall Wil
son, the new State YDC President
introduced a bill. Each met death
in committee. We know of no
public clamor or demand for n
presidential primary in North
Carolina but we do feel that it
would be a healthy thing for the
people to be permitted to elect
the delegates by popular vote as
they do in several states, or vote
for ' their favorite presidential
candidate in a primary.

23 cups brown or white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk
Cook pumpkin and put it
through a sieve. Add remaining
ingredients in order listed. Turn
mixture into a crust-lined pan
and bake it in a hot oven, 425
degrees for about 15 minutes.
Then lower the oven temperature
to about 250 degrees and continue
the baking about 40 minutes lon

filling is done when a knife in
serted in the center will come out
clean and the crust is golden

boil.
Egg Size Does Not
Affect Food Value
In the fall of the year pullets
are, just coming into production
and that means more small eggs
on the market, says R. S. Dear
styne of the State College poultry
I science department.
I And although some storekeepers
! are reluctant to stock small eggs,
Dearstyne emphasizes that small
.'eggs often are a better buy than
standard size eggs on a pound'for
pound basis.
He says that sometimes people
get the idea that large eggs are
better than small eggs, the infer
ence being that the large ones
have higher food value. This isn't
the case because food value is not
related to egg size.
Egg size is inherited. It usually
takes -eight weeks or more for
birds to build from small egg size
to standard size. Thus the pro
ducer is confronted with the
problem of a market for small
eggs for a few months after the
birds come into lay. And although
it's rough on the producer, it's a
break for the housewife who is a
thrifty buyer.
U. S. agricultural exports in
August, 1955, amounted in value'
to about $250 million, Or 30 per
cent greater than the $190 mil
lion total of August, 1954.
