News of Interest to North Carolina Farmers INTEREST in beef production great dumber of Registered Bulls placed in State Increased 72 Per Cent BV GENE KNIGHT Assistant Extension Editor >•, c. State College RALEIGH. March 2. — IIP)—Not thc history o£ North Carolina did thc farming industry show su’d ... ^terest in livestock as it dici 1940. particularly beef cattle, in Case, extension animal hus bandman of N. C. State college, said today Xiie number of registered bulls ,aced during the year represent 'd 3n increase of 72 per cent over 1S39 and 238 percent over 1928. While the upsweep of interest was »vhibitcd i'1 a11 sections of the state the greatest movement to ward beef cattle was made by farmers of the coastal plain sec tion. Case said there are many lac tors'responsible for the greater number of cattle. Among them were; The agricultural conserva tion program and crop control, increased production of both per manent and annual pastures, in creased acreages ol hay and small "rain crops, and the greater de sire on the part of fanners to supplement their income through the production and sale of live stock and livestock products. Then. too. Case said, the live at-home program advocated by the extension service probably played an important role in increased livestock production as ar; adjunct to the one-crop system of farming. The improvement made in the cattle situation has not been con lined to numbers only, the Mate college man pointed ou'. but to quality as well. Largely i esponsi blc for this have been 4-H club work with beef calves, numerous shows, farm tours, gi acting de monstrations. meetings on live stock farms and in feed lots, herd and flock management Demonstra tions. and the acquisition of bet ter breeding stock. Because of the importance of tlie quality ot bulls n service throughout the state, special em phasis was placed on this project last year. Bankers, businessmen, 1 breeders associations, civic organ izations and others cooperated to make it possible to import bulls from other stales and concetrate them in North Carolina. The greater part of the work was done through the cooperation ul county agents. They made plans at the beginning of the year for the placing of a definite number of bulls and then worked on a campaign to achieve their goal. Haywood comity probably did the outstanding work in the placing of food type purebred bulls. Case said. Records showed that 51 reg istered beet bulls and 101 regis tered females were placed during the year. 5 l'. S.

Livestock Plagues Sweep Many EuropeanFarm Lots Dr. Grinnells Says Diseases Threaten Scant Meat Sup plies on Continent RALEIGH, March '2.—Livestock plagues are devastating European farm lots, further threatening the scant meat supplies of these coun tries. Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veteri narian of the experiment station at N'. C. State college, said today. This situation, he explained, is creating a danger which will require increased vigilance on the part of American farmers to prevent an in troduction of these diseases in this country. The United States has already tightened its regulations governing the entry of livestock and meat pro ducts from foreign countries to pro tect this nation's livestock. Thus far, Dr. Grinnells said, this country is still free of foot and mouth disease, rinderpest, surra, and contagious pleuro pneumonia, dis eases which are causing serious los ses in the warring countries. Last year, according to figures of the American Foundation for Animal Health, more than 661.000 cattle and more than 14.000 horses and mules were inspected by government veteri narians at ports of entry into the United States to guard against for eign diseases. "With the world’s supply of live stock rapidly being depleted by wars and by spreading livestock diseases, every animal on American farms is going to be increasingly valuable." Dr. Grinnells pointed out. “This year,” he continued, “farm ers should be especially watchful against hog cholera. erysipelas. Bang's disease, necrotic enteritis, and sleeping sickness. Every veterina rian is being enlisted in this fight to conserve our livestock wealth, an important part of ou rstake in na tional preparedness.” Noted German Composer Is Detained by Police MORRISTOWN.

And here’s how he explained his lateness: It seems he has a large family and each member had to take a turn at sleeping on the new cotton mattress just made the day before. Since the farmer’s turn didn't come until after daylight, he enjoyed the new luxury so much he over slept. S. C. Oliver, farm agent of the N. C. State college extension service, says the program through which low income fami lies will receive free mattresses promises to be eventful. SCHMIDT WRITES LETTUCE BOOKLET Says There Is Great Opportu nity to Develop Home Mar ket for Vegetables RALEIGH. March 2. — In the search of North Carolina farmers for new resources of agricultural income. Robert Schmidt, associate horticulturist of N. C. State Col lege. suggests that “there is a great opportunity for developing a good home market for lettuce in this area.” To aid in this develop ment. he has written a publication entitled '‘Lettuce Growing in North Carolina.” Copies of this booklet may be obtained free, postpaid, by writing the Agricultural Editor at N. C. State College for Extension Cir cular No. 248. In duscuseing lettuce growing in the state. Schmidt said: “Mosi. of the commercial lettuce crop of North Carolina is grown in the vicinity of Wilmington. This is due to favorable climatic and soil con ditions. to an abundance of cheap hand labor, and good transporta tion facilities of that section. “The mountain section of the state also has a favorable climate for producing lettuce, but the crop matures when there is heavy com petition from other sections ol tnc country. . . .Further expansion of commercial lettuce acreage in North Carolina seems improbable on account of competition from other sections of the country, un less better varieties can be deve loped. Breeding work is now in progress for the purpose of deve loping an adapted variety of de sirable type.” In the Extension circular, Schmidt discusses in detail the cli matic requirements, soils, fertil izers, varieties, seeds and plants, cultural practices, and harvesting and marketing connected with suc cessful lettuce growing.

ROBESON LEADERS FORM FARM CLUB Paul Thompson, of Fairmont, Is Elected President of County Organization LUMBERTON. March 2.—Robeson county took another progressive for ward step Tuesday evening, Febru ary 25, when representative farm ers. professional men, businessmen and industrial leaders met in the new community house in St. Paul to perfect the Robeson County club.

Pate of Rowland, treasurer. The club will meet once each quar ter in different communities to dis cuss and act on important matters affecting- the life of the county. Largely responsible for formation of the new organization was Editor Sharpe who has given the matter constant attention for the past two months. Cooperating with him has been W. D. Reynolds, county agent of the State college extension serv ice. A steering- committee was or ganized in January to make definite Plans for forming the club and some of the most prominent men of the county had a part in the pre nminarv plans. The club will include in its organ ization men and women from ali parts of the county for the mutual benefit of all and will be entirely non-political and non-sectarian. Its purpose is to promote the develop ment of Robeson county and high ethical and business standards. The first meeting, held last Tuesday eve ning in the comfortable community house at St. Paul was presided over by C. L. Ballance. prominent farm er and swine breeder. F. H. Jeter, agriculture . editor at State college, was invited to make the principal address and brief talks also were made by Editor Sharpe, F. E. Cox, Bill Pate, George T. Ashford and Archie \V. McLean. More than 200 representative citi zens were present and most of them joined the new organization. The next meeting will be held at Fair mont at the call of President Thompson. FREEZE DAMAGES CROPS IN FLO (A — '' Frost and Low Temperatures Extend Well Into the Everglades Section LAKELAND, Fla., March 2—UP) —Frost and freezing-temperatures extended well into the Florida Everglades today causing dam ages to tender truck crops on the south side of Lake Okeechobee. Meteorologist E. S. Ellison of the federal-state frost warning service here said preliminary re ports indicated damage to the young bean crop in the fertile area bordering the lake might run as high as 50 per cent. The tempera ture dropped to 27 at Belle Glade, almost due west of the swank re sort of Palm Beach. The only other area affected to any considerable extent, early re ports indicated, was in the Hast ings area where there were many young potato pants. No estimate of the damage there was available. Ellison said there was apparent ly little harm to citrus except to blooms and negligible damage in low areas to tender growth. Among low readings were Tal lahassee 23: Jacksonville. Ocala 25; Orlando. Gainesville, Hastings 27; Bartow 28; Eustis, Sanford 29: Bradenton, Moore Haven 30; Hia leah. near Miami 33: Okeechobee 33; Fort TvTye? 54 s~a Tampa 39. N. C. CURB MARTS HAVE GREAT YEAR Total Sales During the Year Reach $401,108 Against $377,947 for 1939 Numbers of womens’ curb markets, Home Demonstration club members selling on the markets, and total sales of surplus farm produce all soared to new highs in 1940, reports Jlrs. Cornelia C. Morris, extension economist of N. C. State college. Four new markets were opened last year—in Harnett, Duplin, Ran dolph and Sampson counties—bring ing to 48 the number of these co operative farm marketing organiza tions for rural women. Two thou sand and forty-five producers sold on the markets in 1940, as compared with 1,508 in 1939. Total sales last year reached $401,108.19, against $377,947.52 in 1939. “The organized home demonstra tion curb market is one of two types of marketing for farm women ir. North Carolina,’’ Mrs. Morris said; "the other being composed of indi viduals and groups of farm women who deliver in person or ship pro duce to merchants, hotels, institu tions, and individuals." Last year Horae Demonstration club women sold $298,787.80 w'orth of produce through the latter meth od. making a total of $699,895.99 ad ded to the farm family income of club members. In addition, women in 72 counties reported the sale of $25,376.30 worth of handicrafts and the making of 22,139 handicraft ar ticles for home use. Markets In Larger Places The curb markets are established in cities and towns large enough to insure a good volume of trade, the extension specialist explained. The markets serve as a retail agency and provide the farm women with a di rect outlet to nearby consumers for such produce as meat, fresh and cured; poultry, live and dressed; eggs, butter and other dairy pro ducts; vegetables; flowers, cakes, and canned goods. The markets are managed and controlled by the sellers, with the advice and guidance of the county home demonstration agents, Mrs. Morris also pointed out that the mar kets furnish a social meeting place for farm and city women, and fos ter good will between rural and ur ban people. They are educational in that they teach the value of grad ing, attractive packaging, arrange ment, and other market standard* Mrs. Morris also reported the op eration of nine roadside markets by Home Demonstration club women, seven of the markets being estab lished in 1940. In commenting on the record year of the curb market program, the State college economist traced the growth of the project. In 1934, there were 28 markets handling $176,237.96 worth of produce for 1,316 sellers. In 1935 the sales on 34 markets reached $237,933.51, with 1,266 regu lar sellers; in 1936, sales of $262, 841.99 on 36 markets with 1,433 sel lers; in 1937, sales of $337,681.03 on 40 markets with 1,66* sellers; 1938, sales of $309,149.99 on 42 mar kets, with 1,697 sellers; 1939, sales of 8377,947.53 on 44 markets, with 1,506 sellers. The Nash county market reported the largest volume of business last year. $37,485.27, with 258 farm women selling regularly. Mrs. Morris also singled out the Wilson and Orange county markets for special praise. In New Building The Wilson center, housed in a fine new building, did $15,279.93 worth of business last year. This was divided as follows: Vegetables, $4,070.01; poultry, $3,554.17; meats, $2,870.23; eggs, $1,611.54; flowers, $788.35; cakes, $656.35; butter. $655.66; fruits and berries $655.43; canned products, $134.76; and miscellaneous, $283.03. The Orange county market is only three years old, and already sales are averaging more than $1,000 per month, Mrs. Morris stated. Total sales for 1940 were $12,111.46. Poul try and eggs were the best sellers, with totals for poultry of $4,585.45 and for eggs of $2,237.65. Four marketeers on the Orange county market, Mrs. Winston Stray horn, Miss Martha Lloyd, Mrs. Glenn Lloyd, and Miss Bettye Ward, had sales of more than $1,000 each for the year. Mrs. Strayhorn’s specialty is cake. There were five marketeers with sales exceeding $500 each. "We feel," Mrs. Morris concluded, “that the curb markets are filling a great need in the rural and city life of North Carolina. They encourage farm people to grow necessary fruits, meats and vegetables at home to pro /lde adequate diets by furnishing an outlet for surplus produce.” Tribunal May Rule on Wife-Slaying Case Today WASHINGTON, March 2—(®— The supreme court may rule tomor row on the wife murder conviction of Robert S. James, Los Angeles barber, who challenged the propriety of exhibiting two live rattlesnakes to the jury which tried him. The state alleged that James first •tried to kill his wife, in order to collect insurance, by thrusting her foot into a box containing two rat tlesnakes. When that failed, the state alleged, he drowned the woman in a bathtub. Counsel for James, sentenced to die, contended the snakes were dis played in the Los Angeles superior court in an attempt to "influence; the jurors and excite their passion.”' Stamps To Lick Cotton Problem TWKXTY UTVK CENT NON-TRANSFERA9LE .SURPLUS COTTON ORDER (f*- - A 4 SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS L u^^Lj PRESCRIBED BY THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE L“g£fJ For voluntarily reducing cotton acreage this year, farmers of North !

Outlook For Beekeeping Termed Bright For 1941 _ _ Sams Reports Condition of Colonies Above Normal In Three Respects RALEIGH, March 2. — Prospects for beekeeping in North Carolina are encouraging for 1941, reports C. L. Sams, extension apiarist of N. C. State college. He says that condi tion of colonies of bees is above nor mal in regard to young queens, col ony strength and food supply. “Beekeepers generally experienced little difficulty in marketing their 1940 crop of honey at fair prices,” Sams said. "The general price for honey is well above the cost of pro duction. Farmers in the mountains and Piedmont have no difficulty in marketing their honey. Local de mands are greater than local pro duction.” As proof that good bee manage ment pays, the extension specialist reported that 1,758 demonstration colonies in 29 counties produced 80, 102 pounds of honey last year. The value placed on this honey was from IS to 25 cents per pound. At 20 cents per pound, the production would give a cash income of $16,020.40 for the 1,758 colonies, or $9.51 per col ony. If the same colonies had been kept in the old-type box hives, Sams says that the production would have totaled only about 10,548 pounds of honey worth $2,215.08 at the box hive value of 12 cents per pound. This is an average of $1.26 per colony, or $8.25 per colony less than the average in the demonstration colonies. The extension specialist further pointed out that the results of bee keeping do not stop with the actual amount of honey produced. “The bees contribute 10 to 15 times as much to the wealth of the state in pollination of fruits, legumes and other farm crops as in the amount of honey and wax produced,” he declared. MERGEROFFARM AGENCIES URGED U. S. Farm Bureau Federation Says So Many Agencies Cause Confusion By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON WASHINGTON, March 2.—UP)—A contention that so many separate government agencies deal with the farmer and his problems that they cause “unnecessary duplication of effort, waste, extravagance and con fusion" came today from the Amer ican farm bureau federation. Edward A. O’Neal, president of the farm bureau, proposed that many existing agencies be consoli dated and a five-man, non-partisan board created te coordinate the whole farm program. He said his proposals and criticisms of the ex isting set-up would be carried to proper congressional committees. Listing more than a dozen agen cies or divisions now dealing with farm programs, O’Neal said they em ployed 3.1,558 “permanent employees" last year and spent $99,293,429 on administrative costs. Most administrative costs, he as serted, were deducted from funds which otherwise would go to farmers as benefit loans or grants. "Administration has become too concentrated in Washington and the evils of a developing bureaucracy have become all too evident,” he de clared. “We believe that unless vari ous phases of the program are ad ministered with efficiency and econ omy, and without duplication of ef fort and conflict among the various agencies now charged with admin istration of these different phases, that eventually the bulk of the farm ers will reject the program, which will then fall of its own weight.” The Farm Bureau federation is one of the largest national farm or ganizations and has cooperated close ly with most New Deal farm ac tivities. Canada exported 12,398,600 pounds of butter, valued at 2, 673,800 in 1039. _ i Farmers to Take Part In Cotton Stamp Plan NASHVILLE, March. 2.—In dications are that at least 75 percent of the cotton growers of Nash county will partici pate in the new cotton stamp program, reports Farm Agent H. E. Alphin. Considerable interest has been shown by landlords, ten ants, and sharecroppers in an effort to determine how they can divert their acres and re ceive cotton stamps for the pur chase of cotton goods and cloth ing. The program was introduced recently in an effort to reduce the present cotton surplus and to cut down on this year’s pro duction. ENGEL INSPECTING NEW ARMY CAMPS Visits South and Will Report To Committee When His Tour Is Completed WASHINGTON, March 2.— <3>) — While other legislators wrangle over whether to investigate the defense program, a whirlwind, one-man con gressional inspection of army can tonments already is in progress. It is being conducted by Repre sentative Engel (R-Mieh), a World war army officer with a penchant for statistics and a reputation for the machine-gun delivery of speeches in the house. Spurning a war department offer to assign an army officer to facili tate his inspection, Engel set out in his own car 10 days ago for canton ments being established in the south. At the time, it was learned, the army was looking for him to visit Camp Edwards in Massachusetts be cause he had made a speech in the house regarding that project. The stocky legislator traveled about 2,200 miles on the southern leg of his tour, visited six army camps and spent about a day at each. That meant, a lot of night driving and very little sleep. Engel, silent thus far on his find ings, said he intended to make a report to the house appropriations committee when the rest of his in spection tour was completed. Te back up his verbal report, he has photographs taken with a camera he has used since his World war days in France. Scattered accounts of how the con gressman operates filtered back to Washington occasionally during his southern trip. One of his fellow-com mitteemen told of seeing him in ac tion at Fort Bragg, N. C. “He had four generals backed into a corner, peppering them with ques tions,” the legislator recounted. “They looked as though they would much rather have been facing a fir ing squad.” Coogan Is Scheduled To Enter Army Soon HOLLYWOOD, March 2.—(^1— Jackie Coogan. 26, one time boy movie star, will be in the army soon.

Other wise, he will be first on the list for the next group to be in ducted the last of March.” 5 PLANTING DELAYED COLUMBIA, March 2. — Heavy rains followed by freezing weather have delayed Irish potato plantings in Tyrrell county, reports Farm Agent H.

SCOn ADVOCATES FARM TRADE MARK Says Will Be Real Step in Pro moting Sale of N. C. Grown Products By LOUIS H. WILSON Editor N. C. Dept, of Agriqulture RALEIGH, March 2.—(.¥>—Adop tion of a trade mark to designai# farm produce of quality "will be a definite step in promoting the de mand and sale of North Carolina grown agricultural products,’’ Com missioner of Agriculture \V. Kerr Scott said today. Senators Ballentlne of Wake, Wal lace of Iredell and Rowe of Duplin have placed before the 1941 general assembly a bill that would establish "Tar Heel” as the official name to designate quality farm products. The state department of agriculture has been designated as the agency to promote and regulate the use of the label. "Already, the legislature has made wide contributions to the welfare of the farmer and it is my firm con viction that to give the state an 'of ficial emblem of quality to identify its many choice farm products will be among the outstanding contribu butions in the field of marketing,’’ Commissioner Scott added. Buxton White, fruits and vege tables marketing specialist of th® department, who has been studying and promoting the adoption of an agricultural trade mark for the past 18 months, termed the Ballentine Wallace-Rowe bill "a practical step in giving recognition to the farmers and packers who have long been giving buyers quality goods, but/ who have not enjoyed the merchan dizing and advertising advantages that have been successful in other states that have already adopted and used trade marks for farm prod ucts.” North Carolina's emblem of qual ity would consist of the word* ‘‘Tar Heel” superimposed on an outline map of the state. The state board of agriculture would be given the authority to adopt rules and regulations safe guarding its use. “A farmer or packer desiring to use the trade mark would first make application to the department, giving full information as to the intended use,” White said. “If the requirements for use of the trade mark were met, including quality, conditioned grade standards pre scribed by the board, the applicant would then be licensed. After the applicant is licensed, the department, would then make inspections to as sure that privileges prescribed un der the trade mark act are not abused. “It is anticipated that a small charge will be made for the use of the trade mark and that funds col lected would be used to further pro mote recognition of the label in an advertising and merchandising pro gram.” Goebbels Says Nazis* War Industries Ready To Undergo Any Test LEIPZIG, Germany, March 2.— UP)—Propaganda Minister Paul Jo seph Goebbels, opening Leipzig's an nual Industrial and Trade fair, de clared today that Germany’s war industries are adequate to meet any test with enough energy and mate rial left over to keep civil trade go ing in fine style. It was announced that 22 nations were represented in 6,222 exhibits at the fair. In trade relations, the propaganda minister said, Germany wants to give considerable but expects consid erable in return. Germany feels a great need for foreign products in exchange for products of German in dustry on a basis of live and let live, he said.
