farmers and farm boys in 41 com

“3 to 1 Live-at-Home Com Contest”

Supervisor of Vocational Agriculture.

of the Tobacco Relief Commission
consisting of 49 members from as
many counties.
When the meeting had heard from
■Governor Gardner, J. C. Stone and
others, a resolution was passed
authorizing, “that when this meet
ing adjourns, the Tobacco Relief
Commission will immediately retire
and undertake to project into reality
some farm organization conforming
to the Government Farm Board and
that the Governor of North Carolina
be authorized to appoint at least
seven disinterested citizens of the
State to assist in perfecting said
organization.” This resolution was
carried unanimously.
The Commission decided to act on
Governor Gardner’s suggestion to
draft Frank Page, former Highway
Commissioner and now vice-president
of a large bank in Raleigh, to head
the organization work. It is the
hope of the commission to take 60
million pounds' of weed from the new
bright belt and 40 millin from the
old belt off the auction market this
year.
The rallying cry of the mass meet
ing was Govrnor Gardner’s ringing
declaration in favor of the “right
of the little man to live.” A com
mittee of five was authorized by
the Relief Commission to be ap
pointed by the Governor to prepare
a contract and make recommenda
tions to the Commission at once.
acres will receive a handsome loving
cup. There will also be second and
third prizes of $20 and $10 in gold.
The student prizes will consist of
a gold medal and $10 and $5 in
gold. The Young Tar Heel Farmer
Chapter which secures the largest
number of entrants in the contest
will receive a special prize of $25
in cash.
The rules governing the contest
are:
1. All contestants must be mem
bers of the all-day and evening class
es.
2. The size of the adult projects
will be five acres and all-day pro
jects three acres.
3. Each project must be undivided
in one field but may join other
acres planted in corn not in the con
test.
4 The teacher of agriculture and
contestant will determine the variety
of seed, kind and amount of fertilizer
and method of cultivation.
5. In order to gain recognition and
be declared a winner in the contest
■each evening class and all-day class
contestant must produce three times
the number of bushels per acre as
shown by the county average for
the years 1928 and 1929.
KEEP UP ADVERTISING,
GO AFTER BUSINESS
R. H. Ballard, President of the
Southern California Edison Com
pany, Los Angeles, said:
“More new business is what we individual coops
need and not so much talk of de
pression. Spend the money for new
business campaigns and new adver
tising. and the results will be sur
prising. The people have the money
and will buy goods, I believe, if
somebody has the courage to sell
them the buying idea.”
He pointed to increases in savings
deposits, gains in new life insurance
in force and increased buying of
bonds as evidence of the ability of
consumers to buy goods if they so
desire. Affected, however, by the'
pessimistic drift of national com
ment", the public is reluctant to buy
and consequently is building up a
tremendous backlog of purchasing
power.
This backlog should and can be
tapped, declared Mr. Ballard, if
American business men snap out of
an apathetic state of mind and em
ploy redoubled efforts to purchase
new business. This is not the time,
in his opinion, to lay off salesmen
and cut advertising appropriations.
FIT THE POULTRY
FOR FALL FAIRS
Before chickens can win many
prizes at fall fairs, they must be
carefully selected and fitted for the
show. It is only by a careful, sym
pathetic examination that one can
find all the faults of a bird.
“Before selecting the birds to be
entered, place the males in individual
coops and the females either in these
or small group
BOOSTING THE APPLE
It appears now that the apple
men men of the country are wak
ing up. They have seen the orange
and melon growers of the country
organize for mutual benefit, and they
have seen them market their produc
tion every year at good profit. They
have learned that it has been chief
ly due to cooperation and advertis
ing. Now they are going to try
it. An association or orchardists in
the United States and Canada has
recently been formed and its officers
are out'with a statement that they
are raising a fund of $1,000,000, to
be spent in advertising. This adver
tising will make kno-wn the virtues
of the apple for canning and preserv
ing ,and as a promoter of health.
They propose, in a word, to make
the American people eat more apples
and use them in more varied ways.
They may not be able to make every
body believe that “an apple a day
keeps the doctor away,” but they are
going to make more money for
themselves and build up a perma
nent market for their products. If
$1,000,000 to be spent in advertis
ing won’t do it, nothing else on earth
will.
coops,” advises C. F. Parrish, ex
tension poultryman at State College
“Those having many birds to condi
tion may equip a building for the
purpose though most small exhibitors
use temporary quarters. The im
portant thing is to have the birds
where they may be handled easily
at any time without the possibility
of making the wild or breaking the
plumage.”
Mr. Parrish does not advise force
feeding to get the birds in shape.
There are times, however, when a
few extra ounces of flesh may turn
a decision in a bii'd’s favor. Extra
feeding may also help to develop a
better plumage. The best way to
go about getting these desirable at
tributes is the addition of a more
concentrated and palatable feed to
the regular ration.
Every bird to be exhibited should
be taught to pose, says Mr. Parrish.
This takes time and must be care
fully done. Do not give up with
first failures or be satisfied with a
poor pose. Talk to the bird, rub it
and feed from the hand. In this way
the bird gains confidence and asso
ciates feeding with the hand.
Practically all white birds are
washed before exhibiting. One 'that
has not been washed looks out of
place in strong competition. Four
tubs are needed to do this effectively.
In the first, the water must be warm
and plenty of soap suds used. This
is rinsed off in gradually cooler
w'ater in the other three tubs with
bluing added to the last one. After'
washing, allow the bird to stand in
a dripping coop for 'SO minutes be
fore going into the exhibition coop
to dry completely.

It’s AS EASY and natural to enjoy the fragrant mildness of a Camel
Cigarette as it is to admire beauty when you see it.
Camels are made, and. always ha've been made, for discriminating
smokers-r-the people whose keen judgment unerringly selects the best.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be an expert to enjoy Camels! The
delicate, mellow fragrance of those choice sun-ripened tobaccos is some
thing that anybody can appreciate. Camels are naturally smooth and
mild — never parched nor insipid.
‘ Why is there such a swing to Camels? Because more and more smok
ers are learning the difference between true mildness and mere flatness.
Give yourself the luxury of a cigarette that’s always pleasant smoking.

CHEER UP
Public reports indicate that busi

better, every way, nearly every day
—even though it does slip back a
notch or two occasionally. The
country nevertheless is convalescing
from its recent attack of Wall
Street-itis.
NEW FERTILIZER BAG
LIGHTENS HEAVY WORK
Another hard job on many of our
farms will disappear as a result of
a report from Chile announcing a
change in the size of nitrate bags.
Formerly shipped in 200-pound
bags. The new size will be intro
duced this fall.
The change was made after a
careful survey of the preference of
farmers in all parts of the coun
try. The handling of a 200 pound
bag is a strenuous job, and the
smaller bag should mean real - re
lief on the farm and better condi
tion of the material.
That a vast army of farmers will
be benefited by this improvement is
indicated by a report recently com
piled which showed that nearly
1,000,000 use Chilean nitrate in, their
mixtures and for side-dressing and
top-dressing purposes.
