INTERESTING FARM NEWS MORE RED MEAT FROM NEW PASTURES Every basic crop producer has ample provide him self and his with plenty of red meat, milk, and dairy products, now that the crop ad justment program is under way, says L. I. Case, animal husband man at State College. With the reduction of basic crops —cqtton, tobacco, corn, hogs, wheat, and the like—certain acre: ages must be set aside. Much of I the land thus retired is suited for pasture, Case says, and should be used as such. Case advises the use of beef cows that are fairly good milkers. In this way, the landowner may be provided with all the milk and cream his family needs and at the same time be able to raise calves into good beef animals. Beef that is not consumed fresh after the slaughter can well be canned for consumption through j,i out the year. Beef is produced on the acreages retired from the pro duction of basic crops cannot be marked, Case warned. Two acres of good pasture are needed for each cow. A ton and ' ' a half of hay and 12 bushels of corn, or the equivalent, should also be provided for each animal. Case urged farmers to seed pas ture lands where they do not al ready have a good stand of grasses. On soils of the Coastal Plaif.' a seed mixture of: carpet grass, pounds; lespedeza, 15 Ipoundkjiiind dallis grass, 5 pounds, has proved good. On coarse, sandy soils the fol lowing mixture is good: Bermuda, 6 pounds; dallis grass, 6 pounds and lespedeza, 18 pounds. On black, peaty spils blue grass and herds grass with lespedeza a ret NO CASH CkOP ON RENTED LAND Dean I. 0. Schaub of State Col lege has explained the following points in regard to growing crops on land retired from cultivation under the crop reduction contracts. The contracts allow growers to use the rented acres to grow feed, food, soil-building, or erosion pre vention crops, provided none of them are offered for sale. Since the contracts also specify that the growers are not to in crease any of their other salable crops when they reduce the one •covered by the contract, a number ■of growers have gotten the idea that it will be all right to grow a cash crop on the rented acreage so long as they do not increase the , IHfe ' amount of that crop. ' lKfo> other words . the dean said, if heretofore has been growing two acres of garden truck for sale, he may grow the same amount of truck, but not on the rented acres. To do so- would be a violation of the contract, the dean emphasized. (Likewise, growers cannot shift part of their cotton crop to land retired from tobacco acreage or part of their -tobacco crop to land retired from cotton, even though the total acreage of each crop is not increased thereby. The contracts specify that a cer tain amount of land is to be re tired from the production of cash crops. That land and no other must be set aside as the rented acreage.

RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION USE FULGHUM OATS FOR SPRING HAY Recent freezes having played havoc with small grain and hay crops planted last fall, many dairymen and others have been seeking information about crops that may be planted now and will produce an early crop of hay this spring. John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at State College, recom mends Fulghum oats for this pur pose. However, the oats must be heavily seeded where the crop is to be cut for hay. At least three bushels of seed must be used per acre. "If Fulghum oats are planted as soon as the soil will permit, they will make a larger yield of spring hay than any other crop that may be planted at this time," says Mr. Arey. "In tests made "at the Upper Coastal Plain branch sta tion near Rocky Mount, this va riety of oats produced 2,400 pounds of hay per acre. Mr. Arey also points out that where the crops planted last fall were well fertilized, it may not be Necessary to add further fertilizer under the oats at planting. How ever, an application of about 100 pounds of nitrate of soda or some other quickly available nitrogen material will be highly beneficial. Apply the nitrate when the oat plants are from four to six inches high. Planting a crop 0 f spring oats will aid dairymen over a tight period when hay and forage of all kinds will be scarce, Mr. Arey says. o SELECT CLUB MEMBERS FOR NATIONAL CAMP Four 4-H club members, two girls anS two boys, will be select ed shortly by the Agricultural Ex tension Service of State College to attend the National 4-H club camp at Washington to be held June 14 to 20, inclusive. "The national camp is held an nually, and is regarded by exten sion workers both In Washington and in the 48 states as the leading club event of the year," says L. R. Harrill, state club leader. "To be selected as a delegate to this camp is generally considered as the greatest honor that can come to a 4-H club member. The four delegates from North Carolina to gether with four others from each of the remaining 47 states of the Union are selected from a mem bership of about one million club members. In North Carolina, the four delegates will represent about 30,000 club members." To be selected as a delegate to the national camp, a club member must be at least 15 years of age, must have completed three or more years of club work, being ac tive in 1933, and must be able to furnish complete records on his club projects for the three years. Selection of the delegate will be based upon the club members' re port, the part he has taken in community activities and the writ ten story of his experiences and results as a club member. Mr. Harrill says' speakers of national prominence will be on the program of the Washington camp. In addition, there will be trips made to all the interesting anu historical points about the National Capital. All of the principal gov ernmental departments will be visited and studied.

C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1934 NORTH CAROLINA RANKS 4TH IN CROP VALUES Raleigh.—Last year, North Caro lina regained its rank of fourth amongst the States in the total farm value of principal field crops grown. In 1933, the State's total crop value was 85 per cent more than in 1932. With a total of $353,378,000, Texas ranked first; California was second with $277,- 077,000; lowa, third, with $214,- 492,000; North Carolina, fourth, with $192,595,000, followed by Illi nois, fifth, with $158,653,000. This State has not held so high a place since the post-war period 1919- 1923. At that time crop values were far in excess of those at present, so that in 1922 when North Carolina was 4th in value of the 22 principal crops,hhre r total crop value was $342,637,000, almost as high as the present value shown by Texas crops. So that our high rank at present is comparative only and does not mean that we, have recovered the high valfles of J the post-war period. The higher 1933 crop values in this State are the results of a general price in crease, together with acreage in creases in many major crops, and a favorable crop year with improv ed yields in most crops. The cotton acreage which had shown a slight increase in plant ings, was reduced 13 per cent in acres for harvest by removal from cultivation of 225,000 (plowed up). The per acre yield of lint at 303 pounds was 51 pounds heavier than in 1932 and was the highest since 1926. The average price per pound at 10c 6hows a total value of $33,465,000, this being $13,000,- 000 more than in 1932. The tobacco crop, valued at sß3*- 553,000, was $48,000,000 above 1932. The 1933 acreage was in creased 43 per cent over 1932, and the price per pound was also sub stantially increased. As evidence of the substantial price increases, the following crops with decreased acreages show in creased values: Tame hay acreage 92 per cent of 1932, value 124 per cent of 1932 value; annual legume hay acreage 81 per cent, value 114 per cent; rye acreage 94 per cent, value 128 per cent; sorghum syrup acreage 86 per cent, value 123 per cent; sweet potatoes acreage 90 per cent, value 136 per cent; pea nuts acreage 76.7 per cent, value 137 per cent. With the exception of certain commercial truck crops and some minor field crops, all other crops showed acreage increases in 1933. North Carolina ranked 22nd in total acreage i n all crops. o saHVMcia wm aa HOd 33IAH3S IVIHQU (Continued from nase one) cept for six years during which time he lived in Kinston, he prac ticed in Nasi* County.

A. HICKS Insurance—Real Estate 132 San Set Ave., Phone 724 Rocky Mount, N. C. "Insurance that Insures" "Protection that Protects" DR. W. R. CULLOM'S CORNER I I 0 o The President's Birthday Party Every one regardless of party or religious affiliation was wishing for the President a most happy birthday on February 6. There were a good many, however, who had some question marks in their minds as to the manner in which the country observed the day. An editorial in last week's Christian Century, (which, by the way, is quite liberal) gives expression to sentiments which seem to us quite wforthy of consideration. "Somewhat tardily, but none the less sincerely, The Christian Cen tury extends to President Roose velt its felicitations upon his birth day. It is his frier.d, as everybody 1 is, and rejoices in his wellbeing and hopes for his continued happi ness. With such felicitations the matter might well have been dropped. There seeras to be no particular reason why the country should have indulged in maudlin demonstrations of rapture. It does not help the President in the per formance of his tasks, nor will it in the long run augment his per sonal pleasure or give him a higher niche in the hall of fame, to re ceive congratulatory telegrams with such extended lists of signa tures that they must be delivered in trucks, or to hear of birthday dinners in his honor in a thousand cities and, towns. These things are a psychological contagion, like the children's crusade. This coun i try needs to learn how to be friend ly, even affectionate, without being ! foolish and without permitting its generous sentiments to be shame fully exploited by interested par ties. The telegrams and dinners doubtless left Mr. Roosevelt grate ful but more than a little em barrassed. The night-club celebra tions more or less for the benefit of the Warm Springs foundation must have produced genuine dis tress. It is impossible to believe that he enjoyed seeing his picture, a little less than life size, at the head of the three-column adver tisement of a Dinner of Gratitude from the Wine and Liquor Industry to be held at the Hotel Roosevelt in New York under the sponsor- CROSS-WORD PUZZLE No. 59 i x ZJBB Ti ■■■32 ■Hli 3^ TT __ EM 73 ■■74 7" HI LL±_ ■ (© by Western Newspaper Union.)

Answer to this puzz] ship of the Spirits club. Every night club in Chicago put on a big party on the evening of the birth day, in the name and under the aegis of the President and the beautiful charity which is dear to him. The total proceeds for Warm Springs, from night clubs and all other sources in this district, amounted to fifteen thousand dol lars. One concludes that this con gratulatory and charitable debauch was not altogether without profit to its promoters. The President's friends—that is, everybody except those who made the most noise about the celebration of his birth day and made the most money out of it—ought to save him from a repetition of this sort of thing next year. He gains nothing by being enshrined as the patron saint of the liquor industry or by being made the object of a hysteria of felicitations. Christmas and the Fourth of July are still our major celebrations—not the President's birthday." > The Dogs Must Be Very- Hungry My grand-dad, raising Duroc hogs, Said, "Things are going to the dogs."
