Urges Slow Marketing of Crop
Writing in the current issue of the
Souiktm CuUmUtT, CoL Harvie Jor
dan, managing director of The Ameri
can Cotton Association and Better
Farming Campaign advises formers to
'market the cotton crop slowly."
"I have always urged a slow move
ment of the cotton crop to market,"
writes CoL Jordan; "But the formers
generally heretofore have been finan
cially unable to adopt sound and con
servative methods in marketing the
staple. But this highly important mar
keting feature can now be put into
operation with the financial backing
of the federal form administration in
guaranteeing loans on cotton held on
the form or in public warehouses."
Col. Jordan has been known for
many years as a man with a keen in
terest in better farming methods. The
advisory board of his association is
composed of many prominent growers
throughout the Southeast In the same
article, Col. Jordan says that the
drouth in the West makes it impera
tive for the South to grow small grains
this season and goes on to mention the
importance of top-dressing, "no mat
ter what kind of fertilizer is used at
planting."
Concerning the important question
. of what nitrate of soda to use, al
though CoL Jordan does not go into
the subject in this particular article,
his views are well-known. Hundreds
of field tests have indicated to him
that American nitrate of soda has
everything that can be asked for. "Re
sults show that "rare elements' as
fcwdin imported soda have no value,"

says Col. Jordan. 'Tor real results I
recommend American nitrate of soda
without hesitation. By doing so I
know that I am boosting the advance
ment of Southern agriculture and also
the advancement of the entire South
since Southern industry and Southern
agriculture must go hand-in-hand if
there is to be any solution to the
South's present problems." i

.GOOD MILK COWS
DESERVE A REST
Question: What is the best ration
for a dry cow during the winter?
Answer: No better practical win
ter ration for the dry cow can be
had than legume hay and corn sil
age together with three to five
pounds of a grain ration containing
around 16 per cent protein. For the
last two weeks, before freshening the
grain ration should be restricted tc
laxative grains such as wheat bran
and oats. Full directions for feeding
all dairy animals are contained in
ten extension circular jno. 193, copies oi
'ranrWShich will be. mailed free upon ap
plication to the Agricultural Editor,
State College.
Question: Should lime be applied
to sour land in the fall or spring?
Answer: As lime is a sUw acting
agent fall applications will usually
give best results. Broadcast the
lime on newly plowed land and then
run a harrow once or twice over the
field to bring the lime in contact
with the soil The winter rains will
cause the lime to seep into the soil
The amount to apply will depend up
on the acidity of the soil and the
crop to be grown the following year.
Farm agents will furnish a test and
give directions as to the amount of
lime needed.
Trade Reflects Heavy
Gains In Farm Income

The fact that . dairy cows appar
ently live an, easy life, doesn't mean
X their bodies are not taxed heavily by
the work of producing milk, says
John Arey, dairy extension special
n& at State College.
-. Milchers need at least six weeks
of rest between lactation periods, he
said, to give them opportunity to re
build their body tissues and bony
structures.

calving,, the' cows usually giveolf m

Question: How can seed wheat be
treated to prevent covered smut?
Answer: The most successful
method is to treat the seed with cop
per carbonate dust. This is applied
at the rate of two aunce3 of the cop
per carbonate to each bushel of seed
wheat. Be sure, however, that the
carbonate is manufactured especial
ly for treating seed. The chemical
can' be secured at any seed store
IJse an airtight container when treat
ing the seed a3 the dust is poisonous
and must not be inhaled. Seed thus
treated must be used for seed, pur
poses only "and must, under no con
ditions, be fed to animals or used
for milling.
yuestion: wnat is the recom
mended formula for dry curing pork?
.Answer: For each'r 1Q0, pounds of
meai, use o puunas or sail, mree
ounces, of saltpeter, and three pounds
of brown sugar. Mix these mgredi
ehts'ithoroughly and; rub half of the
mixture on tne meat. Facie all -the
meat in the same vessel, skin side
down except the top layer and put
this skin eide up. . Repack tin seyen
days and rub on the other half of
the mixture. Let meat remain lr
cure three days for each pound per
piece and then wash and hang in
smoke house. . If the meat is prop
erly prepared before the curing be
gins this method will give nice,
evenly cured meat.
The Associated Press reports east-
business interests "considerably
cheered because farmers will 'dig in'
for the winter with a much fatter
pocketbook than last year." Farm
income was reported by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics to have
totalled $662,000,000 in September,
an increase of $81,000,000 over
August and an increase of $108,000,
000 over September, 1933. Trade
observers find this sharp improve
ment has been reflected in a substan
tial increase in retail and wholesale
business, better collections than at
any time since 1930 and stronger
credit conditions in all major agricul
tural regions.
Farm income in the first nine
months of 1934 were reported by the
bureau as $4,313,000)OO, compared
with $3,479,000,000 in that , period
last year, an increase of $750,000,000.
The Associated Press financial edi
tor in New York remarks that one of
the best business indexes bank clear
ings have shown consistent increases
in farm centers for several months,
averaging as high as 44 per cent over
a year ago.
Standard Statistics Co., Inc., esti
mates total farm income in 1934 will
aggregate $8,019,000,000, an increase
of $1,763,000,000, or 28.3 per cent,
over the total of $6,256,000,000 in the
calendar year 1933.
Dates Set For Civil
Service Examinations
FURNITURE INDUSTRY MOST
NORMAL BASIS SINCE 192S
According to a survey just com
pleted by Dun and Bradstreet, the
furniture industry has gained enough
ground in the past year to establish
the most normal trading basis that,
has, been achieved since i 1929. Sales
totals in August exceeded the 1933
figures, with small retailers making a
oener snowing man tne department
stores and -large establishments. . In
some sections of the Middle West,
South, Southwest and;; Pacific coast,
many retailers with Wannual volume
under ' $500,000 . doubled their figures
of .August,' ,1933, while- increases, of
25 per cent to 60 per cent were gen
eral. The widening of the demand
since mid-September, 'according ' to
the report, gives evidence of making
the Last quarter of 1934 the best ex
perienced in several years'.' ' ', " v
