Food And Feed Crops
Under the AAA programs, North
. Carolina xarmers are growing tnis
r"ir over 1,000,000 acres more food
. w feed crops than they did five
ars ago.
Much of the 870,000 acres taken
out of cotton and tobacco cultivations
has been put into corn, wheat, oats,
hay, sorghums, pasture and other
crops for consumption on the farm.
According to the agricultural cen
sus taken this year, reported Dean
I. O. Schaub of State College, the
total land under cultivation has in
creased from 5309,754 to 5,965,547
acres since 1930.
The number of farms in the State
increased by 21,259, or 7.6 per cent,
and the number of acres included on
farms increased about 10 per cent.
However, the gross value of farm
land decreased 26 per cent
On the farms were found 13,000
,V full owners, 4,000 part owners, and
I " fewer than 5,000 tenants.
The corn and hay crops were in
creased by approximately 450,000
acres each, while the wheat crop
jumped from 850,000 to 500,000
acres. Irish potato plantings jump
ed up 52 per cent, or 32,000 acres,
and the sweet potatoes 58 per cent,
or 35,000 acres.
With the larger production of corn,
hay, oats and pasture crops there
was an. expansion in the number of
cattle by 217,254 head, an increase of
46.5 per cent in five years. Of this
number 124,753 were cows and 108,
000 were hogs.
The number of horses decreased
from 86,000 to 66,000, but the num
4 . ber of mules remained close to
295,000.
Careless Hunters Start
Destructive Forest Fires
Careless hunters, dropping lighted
matches and failing to put out camp
fires, start hundreds of destructive
reforest fires in North Carolina every
- yearv ,:,...;.
v There is no harm in making small
fires to warm by, said R. W. Graeber
, extension forester at State College,
i' but leaving them unquenched is dangerous.-
- X
-,v Even when the flames have died
down, and only a mass of glowing
embers remains, there is danger ' of
' the wind whipping sparks into in
- v flammable leaves nearby, Graeber
staled.., y
If there is no water available to
' quench the fire, he continued, the em
bers should be buried beneath a small
( pile of earth in' which there is no
, combustible material.
.. The danger of smoking in the
' woods will be reduced, Graeber add-
c-i, if hunters are careful not to drop
1'I.ied. matches, throw, away glowing
carets; or empty the ashes out of

delivered to 'the "county agent in- ac
cordance with the regulations approv
ed today,' another retained by the
producer, and the third y,th buyer.
Special' provision- is made in the in
structions for certificates which have
been lost, destroyed, or stolen or In
case of other especial circumstances
which the producer on proper show
ing can establish that he was unable
to. comply with the regulations re
quiring delivery of the certificate to
the county agent. XXxtfXy
; Special instructions have been is
sued to county agents for dissemina
tion to cotton producers requiring
that the originals of these certificates
be deposited in the office of .the
county agent who wD note; the date
when thjt certificate Is surrendered to
him and will file ' such ' certificates
pending the receipt by producers of
the forms upon which application for
the payments will be made.
The cotton price adjustment pay
ments to cooperating cotton produc
ers, amount to the difference on the
date of, sale of their cotton between
the average price of 7-8 inch mid

spot markets and 12 cents per pound.
In no case win adjustment payments
exceed 2 cents per pound.
building fires to smoke "possums or
rabbits out of hollow logs or trees,
and leaving the fires to burn after
the hunters have gone.
Similarly, the ring of a briar patch,
as is sometimes done by thoughtless
boys or adults to get a rabbit out I
where they can shoot it, often starts
fires which spread rapidly through
the underbrush and woods.
The difference between careless
ness and a little precaution, Graeber
emphasized, often means the differ
ence between a good forest and a
burned over wasteland.
FHA Reduces Chiseling
Among Home Trades
General satisfaction among re
sponsible building contractors has
been expressed in regard to the Fed
eral Housing Administration's pro
gram and the part it has played in
diminishing "chiseling" in the trade.
Public confidence in Federal Hous
ing Administration standards and
practices has been responsible for
this improvement in the building
trades, according to many contrac
tors. Discover Skeleton of

The American Red Cross has launched
a nation-wide campaign to eliminate

in charge of domestic operations. .
"Every Red Cross chapter is being
asked to play a part In this campaign,'
Mr. Fleser said. "Hazards In the varl

parents or relatives In the fight against
them."
Nearly five million men, women, and
