SPUD CROP SAID STILL VALUABLE Despite Prices Received By Growers In Carolinas And Virginia BV GUY A. CARDWELL General Agricultural Agent 'tie Coast Line Railroad Co. ^ suite of the fact that South 1 North Carolina and Virginia 8110 prs of Irish potatoes have not Chappy ^ the prices received o- recent seasons, this is still ^n "oldstanding valuable crop. ®ILere has been a substantial , ease in per capita consumption potatoes due to the substitu tion of other foods and in some treasure to the belief on the part J s0me people that potatoes are f-ircnin"' Although the fattening theory has been discredited by re liable and scientific authorities, consumption has not increased and probably will not until a su pej.jcr- product goes to market backed by a good reputation and r.ome advertising. Lower prices paid tor potatoes in rCcen! seasons has probably been due in part to surplus supplies and active competition between pro ducing sections for a reduced vol ume of business. It has therefore become more a..d more neces S3l-v for the srs and buyers of this section to produce and ship potatoes of superior qualitay, well graded, clean, and of good appearance. Potatoes of this sort can usually be disposed of in con petition with other potato produc j- -i sections. In handling potatoes in the field, at the packing house and on the shipping platform, growers and shippers should remember that the early potato is a highly perisha ble commodity. It is is not fully matured. Its skin is very tender. It has an excessive natural mois ture and skins and bruises very easily. Since each potato bruised is a potential rotten potato, all po tatoes should be handled as care fuHy as one would handle peaches and eggs. It is a well known fact that at tractiveness of appearance is a loading factor in marketing any commodity. If you believe this, dress your potatoes in their best "doll rags" and send them to mar ket in plump, sound condition with smooth, clean faces. If you are careful to see that this is done you should find yourself up among the leaders in disposing of your crop and in holding your cus tomers. According to a recent Truck Crop News Report on commercial early Irish potatoes, irregulrr stands are reported in Baldwin and Mobile counties in Alabama a- a result of excessive rains early in the season, which caused consid erable rottening of seed pieces. Poor stands are more noticeable m the south half of Baldwin with better stands around Loxley and Robertsdale. Replantings were ex tensive and these are now coming up. Movement is expected around the 10th or 15th of May with har vest lasting longer than usual. Louisiana potatoes, although late, have made fair progress. Condi tion of plants ranges from poor in some areas to good in others. Stands are irregular in some sec tions as result of too much rain at planting time. Growers are expecting a slightly reduced yield. In Mississippi potatoes are some '•hat late but are making good progress now. Harvesting in the main producing (Marion county) ajea is^ expected to begin around -lay loth. Weather in Arkansas during early April continued un avorable for germination and growth of early potatoes. Stands are generally spotted. With the • i.proved growing conditions the few days of the period, the trop is now making better pro gress. Georgia potatoes are looking Vna in all early producing coun The crop, however, is late jecause of late plantings and cold, wet weather n March.

Develops Your Roll Of 8 Films 24 HOUR SERVICE Complete Line i holographic Supplies (Cash With Order) GEM STUDIO ' 119 Gr*c« St, Phone 6223 Farmers Seek Substitutes For Top-Pressing Nitrates w_ Top-dressing cotton and corn with nitrate of soda about t h is timie of the year is the farmer’s way of giving his crops that “ex tra boost” that produces high yields of quality lint and grain. But the war has created a serious shortage of nitrates. Dr. E. R. Collins, Extension agronomy leader at N. C State College, says his department and county farm agents have been lit erally swamped, of late, with re quests from farmers about sub stitutes for customary top-dressin<* materials. They also want to know! naturally, if additional supplies of nitrate of soda will be made avail able. In answer to these queries. Dr Collins says: “Only 50 to 70 per cent of the usual nitrate of soda supply will be available this year Consequently, the War Produition Board has taken charge of allot ing the nitrate. “The WPB has promised to allot the nitrate ‘where and as it is needed,’ ” the agronomist continu ed. “The War Production Board has assured growers that they will receive their fair share of the available nitrate of soda supply. Therefore, we have reason to hope for additional supplies of top-dress, mg material if farmers will make their needs known.” In answer to the quest ion: 7-POINT PROGRAM STUDIED BY AGENTS To Explain President’s Con trol The Cost Of Living Plan May 17.—A state-wide educational program to fully acquaint every farm family with President Roose velt's seven-point program to Con trol the Cost of Living will oe start ed this week with district meetings of farm and home agents, and as sistant agents. The State College Extension Service has been assign ed this war-time educatinal job by the United States Department of Agriculture. Dean I. O. Schaub, Extension director, announced that the meet ing of the county Extension work ers will be held as follows: Mon day, May 18, at Albemaile fo r agents of Lee. Moore, Montgom ery, Richmond, Anson, Union, Stanly, Cabarrus, Davie, and Row an; and at Kinston for agents of Carteret, Craven, Duplin, Johnston Jones, j_,enoir, Unslow, Pamlico, Pedner, and Wayne counties. Tuesday May 19, at Lumberton for agents of Robeson, Scotland, Hoke, Cumberland, Harnett, Samp son, Bladen, New Hanover, Bruns wich, and Columbus counties; and at Shelby for agents of Cleveland, Polk, Rutherford, Gaston, Lincoln, Catawba, Alexander, Caldwell, Mecklenburg, and Iredell. Wednesday, May 20, at Raleigh for agents of Wake, Caswell, Ala mance, Chatham, Durham, Frank lin, Granville, Orange, Person, Vance, and Warren counties. Thursday, May 21, at Rocky Mount for agents of Edgecombe, Nash, Northampton, Halifax, Wilson Greene, Pitt, Beaufort, and Mar tin. Friday, May 22, at Edenton, for agents of Hertford, Hyde, Tyrrell, Washington, Bertie, Gates Dare, Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Persquimans, and Chowan, and at Winston-Salem for agents of For syth, Rockingham, Guilford, Ran dolph, Davidson, Stokes, Surry, Wilkes, and Yadkin. Dean Schaub said that the agents will be expected to* return to their counties and conduct the educa tional program through neighbor hood leaders. 3 “Should cotton seed meal be used as a top-dresser?” Dr. Collins said “Supplement your nitrate of soda with meal where economic con ditions will justify.” Should Know Facts The agronomist said that far mers should know the facts. Ex perimental evidence, he declared, indicates that the nitrogren in 100 pounds of cotton-seed meal w i 11 produce 3 1-2 bushels of corn. “It has been proven,” Dr. C o llins stated, “that two pounds of or ganic nitrogen will produce a bush el of com. Nitrate of soda is 16 per cent nitrogen; therefore, 100 pounds of nitrate of soda will pro duce 8 bushels of corn. Cottonseed meal is 7 per cent nitrogen; there, fore, 100 pounds of meal will pro duce 3 1-2 bushels of corn.” In considering whether economic conditions justify the use of cotton seed meal as a top-dresser, Dr. Collins said farmers will find that cottonseed meal will cost from $40 to $46 per ton. This is at the rate of $2 to $2.30 per 100 pounds (the amount required to make 3 1-2 bushels of corn). The State College men said that corn will probably respond to meal better than cotton. Cottonseed meal should be covered with soil after top-dressing because the material does not become soluble until acted upon by soil organisms. “Good soil moisture in the zone of the meal hastens availability of the nitrogen to the crop,” the agronomist declared. “When meal is applied to corn, make the ap plication 10 days earlier than for soda, and cover with soil.” Dr. Collins said that farmers who used fertilizer which contained a high percentage of organic ni trogen (cottonseed meal, tankage, etc.) at planting time will not suffer as much from the lack of top-dressing materials as will oth er farmers. He says that fertilizer manufacturers are proposing to use larger amounts of organic ni trogen in their mixed fertilizers next year. Prepare for Next Year “The best way for farmers to prepare for next year,” the farm leader declared, “is to turn under legume and cover crops. These will supply nitrogen at a relative ly low cost and will do much to overcome the shortage of nitrate of soda, which may become more acute by 1943.” Dr. Collins says that a ton of lespedeza hay contains the avuiva lent of 270 pounds of nitrate of soda, a ton of soybean hay 341 pounds, a ton of hairy vetch hay 347 pounds. He also reported that a ton of crimson clover hay con tains the equivalent of 256 pounds of nitrate of soda, a ton of cowpea vines 332 pounds, a ton of soy bean vines 310 pounds, and a ton of peanut hay 185 pounds. “Com pare these figures,” he says, “with the fact that a ton of oat straw produces the equivalent of only 81 pounds of nitrate of soda, and 1 ton of wheat straw produces the equivalent of only 54 pounds of soda.” Dr. Collins also emphasized that, if the legume is grown on the land and the roots are also turned under, considerable amounts of ni trogen and organic matter are added in addition to the value of the hay or vines turned under. -V Crotalaria Being Used As Soil-Building Crop WINDSOR, May 17 — Farmers of the Cashie Neck section of Ber tie county are using more crota laria this year as a soil-building crop, reports B. E. Grant, farm agent of the N. C'. State College Extension Service. They have found crotalaria to be an excellent soil-building crop on the light sandy soils in their sec tion, Grant said.

I ‘RAMBLING DAYS’ OVER FOR SCRIBE But Joseph Hufham Swears To Keep An ‘Ear To The Ground’ BY JOSEPH HUFHAM DELCO, May 17.—Well, it looks like my rambling days are about over. But we still have our “ears to the ground”, so: You had better beware of how you call your sweetie Sugar, the rationing board might misunder stand. During our “reign” in the jury box we conceive„d the idea that at least once an hour the court ought to pass around a coffee pot. And the court must have been some what sympathetic with us: we sat to pass judgment on only one case. In looking up the analysis for the writing of a good serial story we found: 99 per cent perspiration, 1 per cent inspiration. We lacked only the one per cent. Hence, no story. * You see, sometimes a fellow la bors in vain, or at least when it is not necessary. For instance, we were just informed that a man’s boat turned over in Lake Wacca maw one exceptionally dark night recently, and he swam nearly all night, without finding land, and so, finally, he became so exhausted he gave up and began sinking; He sank about two feet and then struck bottom! He then stood up, did a little quick calculation, and concluded that he had been swim ming for hours with his tummy all but scrubbing the bottom! He was so angry he almost forgot that his life had been spared! Have had a few letters from old pals in uniform. Said that our column seems somewhat like a let ter from home. One called it the “stock-yard” column. We take pleasure in writing these old bud dies. The net is gathering around us, closer and closer every day, and soon we might be in unfirom. So, if any of you khaki-clad boys happen to see something setting up in a trench that might look like a big muskrat caught in a steel trap, don’t shoot until you investigate. It might be us! Hush, little gas tank Don’t you cry. You’ll be a rat’s bed Bye and bye! And so this gas rationing has some fellows hitting the ceiling! One merchant-farmer said that he was going to have to sell h i s mules and quit farming. Another farmer said that he had a thirty acre farm. He says that he is go ing to sell it and join the colors. Another said that he was going to have to let the crops on the most of his 100-acre farm go to waste. The explanation to this is the shortage of farm labor. T he s e farmers were used to taking their motor vehicles and hauling farm hands back and forth to do their labor. Now, not sufficient gas. And the most of these hands are so far away, should they walk to work it would take them until noon to get to their jobs, and by that time they would have to start back, in order to be home in time for supper. Who is going to be able to solve this problem! Who is going to “keep’em plowing!” Last Sunday evening we were in church. Many of those gathering for worship were yet in the yard. Seeing that the time had arrived to begin services, we picked up a humn book and started walking over to join the choir. “That's right, Brother Hufham,” said the minister, “sing us a hymn to draw in the crowd.” Whereupon a lay man admonished: “But be careful, or these already inside might get up and leave!” Anyhow, gasoline shortage might have some good phases. People, used to going, and with nothing to go with, other than their mud splitters, might get so lonesome that they will again start going out to church. And who knows but what this ‘castrophe’ might lead to some old-fashioned revivals! -V Cabarrus Poultrymen To Produce More Eggs CONCORD, May 17. — Poultry men of Cabarrus county have oledged to produce more than 40, 100 dozen eggs this year than re juested by the government, re ports( W. H. Williams, assistant Earm agent of the N. C. State College Extension Service. According to a check-up, Cabar rus farmers have promised 103, 330 dozen eggs, while the goal set jp by the government was only 30,704 dozen. Both commercial poultrymen and small flock owners are re sponsible for exceeding the county jjoal. -V Curling-irons heated to about 202 legrees will curl hair without lamaging the hair or its color. Polk County Gardens Said Best In Years COLUMBUS, May 17.—Old tim ers say spring gardens in Polk county are the best in years. S. H. Dobson, assistant farm agent of the N. C. State College Extension Service, says tne gar dens are larger and have a greater variety of vegetables than in the past. In some cases, families are growing a garden for the first time. Provided with good weather, Polk families will be well fed this year, Agent Dobson said. MOUNTAINLAUREL KILLS LIVESTOCK — Sheep And Goats Are Es pecially Susceptible To Poisoning — COLLEGE STATION. RALEIGH, May 17.—Mountain laurel and sheep laurel, both plants which are prized for the beauty of their blooms during May, June, and July have their deadly aspects, warns Dr. A. O. Shaw, head of the State College Animal Industry Depart ment. The laurels are poisonous to livestock, he sported. The toxic effects of these plants have been known since 1770, Dr. Shaw stated. Losses of cattle, sheep, and goats may be expected when the animals are kept in any considerable numbers in localities where the laurels grow. Animals poisoned by these plants become weak and walk with a staggering gait. There are frequently symp toms of depression and nausea. The animal husbandman says that sheep and goats are especial ly susceptible to laurel poisoning. Young cattle also are often poison ed but older cattle appear to be less sensitive to the toxic poison ing. Dr. Shaw explained that moun tain laurel is also known by the following names: Calico bush, broadleaf laurel, mountain ivy, high laurel, wicky and great laurel. Names which have been applied to the sheep laurel include: Calf kill, Lambkill, spoonwood ivy and wicky. “Animals normally develop symptoms from 14 to 16 hours after feeding on laurels,” Dr. Shaw declared. “The average duration of sickness in cattle is about 20 hours. The most practical reme dy is the administration of 4 oun ces of linseed oil, repeated at in tervals or two to three hours. The use of lard is also recommended. The animals should be drenched with equal portions of melted lard and sweet milk, containing one to two eggs per quart of the mix ture.” __\r_ PERSON FARMERS RE-TOPSOIL HILLS Fertility Of Hillsides Re stored With Soil From Bottom Lands COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh, May 17—Farmers of Person county have adopted a unique system of r storing fertility to their hillsides, O. F. McCrary, northwestern dis trict farm agent of the State Col lege Extension Service reported to day. They are using a drag pan pulled 1 by a tractor to bring “bald spots” back into production by pulling the fertile topsoil from the bottom lands back to the slopes from which it has washed. McCrary reported that 55 farm agents, assistant agents, soil con servationists and other agricultural leaders recently toured Person county to observe ,hls work. “They were practically unanimous in their agreement that the farmers in Person have a practical plan for improving the fertility of their fields,” the district agent sated. The most convincing demonstra tion of this system was found on the farm of Royce Huff of Roxboro Route 3. The group heard Mr. Huff and N. E. Davis with whom he is cooperating in the project, ex plain that the re-topsotllng of a single acre will pay for the drag pan equipment in one year. Mr. Huff said that the tohacco he grew on the land which was galled pre vious to 1941 was much better than ever before, despite the fact that 1941 was very dry. Other farms visited in Person by the agricultural group included those of R. L. and Clyde Satter field, J. H. Shotwell of Roxboro, Route 3. McCrary reported that Mr. Crumpton exhibited a field of five acres which was 'put in countour tillage 13 years ago, and there are no breaks or gullies in the field. Today an J Tomorrow I - BY WALTER LIPPMANN __ No Reason To Feel Hurt No doubt there is always much to be learned from our mistakes, but it is now true also that we can learn a great deal from our suc cesses. We can learn particularly, I think, not to be stumped by ap parent difficulties. For we have seen how right was William James when, speaking of “the energies of men,” he said that “as a rule men habitually use only a small part of the powers which they actu ally possess and which they might use under appropriate conditions.” There is not one of us who has not in the past two years grossly underestimated the true capacity of the country to do what it actu ally sets out to do. Therefore we must always ask ourselves whether the bottlenecks about which we hear so much are real or are due to lack of vision and of will power. Two years ago there were few, if any, who thought aircraft could be built by mass pro duction, or that automobile manu facturers could manufacture them, or that ships could be built by mass production, or that any one who had not been a shipbuilder could build ships. With what we know now, we have every right to challenge any one who tells us that there is not enough raw material to supply the great war facilities which have been created, or enough transportation to move the weapons where they are needed. It may be that at some time we shall reach the point where we must choose between more tanks and more cargo ships', or between more cargo ships and more war ships. But there is nothing like conclusive evidence that we are at that point, and there are very strong indications that once again we are under-estimating our true capacity. * * * Experience has shown, I think, that the tendency to underestimate capacity arises from inertia, from the almost universal human habit of preferring to do things in the usual way. In the field of manu facturing capacity this inertia has been brilliantly overcome—so bril liantly that our capacity to manu facture weapons is now greater than the available supply of ma terials. We are, therefore, told by some that we are faced with a shortage of materials. But by oth ers, and these are the men who do N. C. LEADS EAST” IN SOIL PROGRAM Ninety-Five Per Cent Of Cropland Under Pro gram In 1941 COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh, May 17—North Carolina led a 11 other states in the East Central Region, AAA, in percentage of cropland participating in the na tional agricultural conservation program last year, it was announc ed today by E. Y. Floyd, state AAA executive assistant. A report from W. G. Finn, di rector of the East Central Region, AAA, at Washington, shows that 95 per cent of North Carolina’s cropland was under the conserva tion program last year. Percentag es in other states of the region are Kentucky, 93 per cent; Ten nessee, 91 per cent; Delawar, 89 pr cent; Virginia, 87 per cent; Maryland, 78 per cent; and West Virginia, 70 per cent. in me report, ivir. trinn pointed out that farmers of these seven states also planted 609,000 acres of nitrogen-gathering legume crops which are particularly valuable at this time since much of the com mercial nitrates formerly available for fertilizer now are going into manufacture of munitions. North Carolina’s winter legume acreage was listed as 193,000 acres which was exceeded in the region only by Tennessee with 200,000 acres last year. Acreage of winter legumes in other states in the region was listed as follows: Ken tucky, 80,000; Virginia, 60,000; Del aware. 33,000; Maryland, 28,000; and West Virginia 1700. “A large percentage of this acre age now is being turned under to add nitrogen and humus to soils to increase production of crops needed in the nation’s war effort” Mr. Finn said. The agricultural conservation program of the AAA is encouraging farmers to g r o w more winter legumes to furnish ni trogen fo crop production, it was pointed out. In addition to the winter legumes East Central Region farmers par ticipating in the farm program last year planted other legumes and mixtures of legumes and grasses tottaling nearly 7.000,000 acres, rhe report aim showed there were 1,750,000 acnes of summer legumes slanted in the region. not allow themselves to be stump ed easily, we are told that the apparent shortage of materials is in considerable degree at least due to an inadequate system of distri bution. When a better system is set up, as it will shortly be if enough peo ple insist on it, we shall almost certainly see once again that what was said to be impossible is in fact possible. We have something like half again as much steel ca pacity as "all our enemies and all the conquered countries combined. It cannot be true, therefore, that we are already running short of steel when we have just begun to manufacture on a large scale. It must be the fact that we are not allocating the steel efficiently, that the priorities have bogged down, that steel is piling up in inven tories, that some of it even is be ing diverted to inessentials. And so when Mr. Nelson really takes control of steel and other raw ma terials, allocates them sternly and causes them to flow smoothly to the plants and shipyards, we shall find there is more steel than pres ent estimates admit. * * * We shall not have got to the real limits of our supply of materials until in this field also we cross the Rubicon and pass completely from peace-time to war-time methods. Each of these crossings of the Ru bicon is painful, and the act of pushing ourselves across the Rubi con is usually accompanied by a good deal of demagogy and many injured feelings and some damag ed reputations. None of this is necessary. All of it is avoidable by approaching the problem maturely, in adult fash ion, without animosity or misplac ed sensibilities. I have, for example a letter from a respected corre spondent whose feelings are hurt because I have written that the overhead direction ancl control of the conversion of industries to war should be given to competent out siders rather than to those who have grown up in the industry. My correspondent happens to be interested in shipping, and he actu ally feels himself attacked and in jured because I pointed out that in this war, as in the last war, the direction and control of merchant shipping, as distinquished from the operation of ships, will almost cer taily be done best by men who are not in the shipping business. Yet if I had said that Mr. Murray or Mr. Green ought not be placed in charge of the draft, or of the man power mobilization, my cor respondent would have had no dif ficulty in seeing the point. He would have seen the point if I had said that the founders of the Republic were right when they made the* President, and not a gen eral, the commander in chief of the armed forces. He would see the point if, looking at the superb achievements of our citizen army, he had been told that what the pro fessional soldiers have done has been promoted by the fact that there is a statesman in the W Department. How absurd it would be to think that this was a reflec tion on General Marshall. Grant had his Lincoln, Pershing had his Baker and Marshall has his Stim son, and that is the way it is supposed to be, and that is the way it works best. is * There is no reason at all, there fore, why industrialists and busi ness men should feel hurt at the idea that in war time they are not the best final judges of how their industry should be mobilized. If they would recognize and accept this general and fundamental prin ciple of sound government, they could save themselves and the country no end of trouble. For demagogic attacks on the dollar-a year men are fed by the fact, un deniable as a moral and a practical principle, that no man is a good judge of his own interest when it encounters the public interest. And, therefore, far from resent ing it, every man ought to wel come the idea that he will not be placed in the position of having to judge his own interest, of having to choose among conflicting loy alties. 3 REVENUE CODE FAR-REACHING All Places Where Music Is Provided May Be Affect ed, Says Christman Those who operate roof gardens, cabarets or other similar places of entertainment, are all liable for fed eral taxes stated Raymond D. Christ man, United States deputy collector of internal revenue upon his return from Greensboro Sunday, where he has been for the past week in a tax conference with other deputies throughout North Carolina. Deputy Christman states that the decisions rendered in connection with Regulations No. 43, of the Revenue Act of 1941 as amended has a most far reaching effect upon all, places where dancing and other entertainment facilities are provided. "The tax may affect every place where music is provided, either me chanical or otherwise, even to filling stations, cafes and other places Jr assemblage" Mr. Christman pointed out "and it would be advantageoi s to all corning- within that category to look into the matter that they may be apprised as to the statuj. because not only the tax might ap ply but likewise heavy penalties would attach to those not reporting in the proper manner.” He said that there was no change that he knew of relating to admis sion taxes, which act became effec tive October 1, 1941, which repealed all former acts relating to exemp tions from the tax. The deputy stated that no exemptions are avail able where an admission charge is made even though the admission is to an entertainment for charity or educational purpose. _A ’ To protect your radio, now that rationing is in effect, make sure that your set is not placed with its back flat against the wall since free circulation of air is nec essary to prevent overheating.
