Wifi Offer Contracts
To Peanut Growers
The peanut adjustment contracts
to be offered North Carolina farmers
in January will qualify the growers
for diversion and benefit payments on
the 1934 crop, says B. Troy Ferguson,
district farm agent at State College.
The diversion payments will be S2O
a ton on Virginia type, sls a ton on
Spanish type, and $lO a ton on run-
I ner type peanuts which are diverted
I to oil production this year, provided
■ payments shall not be made on more
■than 20 per cent of the crop.
f The benefit payments will be $8 a
ton on the peanuts raised in 1934 by
growers who sign the contract for
1935, says Ferguson, who has been
placed in charge of the peanut pro
gram in North Carolina.
The contract permits the growers
to plant in 1935 the average number
of acres they had in peanuts in 1933
and 1934 or 90 per cent of their 1933
or their 1934 acreage.
The sign-up campaign will probab
'ly start during the week of January
7 in the peanut growing counties,
Ferguson said, with every grower
being given an opportunity to co
operate in the program.
The farm agents in the peanut
counties have been instructed to ap
point three county committeemen and
a number of community committee
men in each county to conduct the
and to administer the pro
jj|»' Hie contracts will go with the
Hn, as in the case of tobacco and
BHB°n contracts, and will be signed

Making The Home More Livable]
Lamps Must Qualify For Seeing As Well As Decoration
By Jean Prentice
THE living room needs dressing
up 1 This is the decision of many
a home maker who, at this time of
the year, casts a long critical glance
at the center of family life for the
longer evenings—the living room—and
decides that something must be done.
She does well to give particular
attention to the selection of floor and
table lamps, because here at her finger
tips is a chance to enlist the magic
of lovely and adequate light.
Not with just ANY lamp of course 1
(Big strides have been made in the
style and lighting qualities of lamps,
and the one that Aunt Sue gave to
Mary on her wedding day may be
wholly inadequate now.
The lamps pictured here have scien
tific sanction for several reasons.
The one beside the chair boasts a
brand new feature straight from the
research laboratories. In its upper
portion it has one single bulb that, by
a twist of one’s wrist, can be made to
give three different amounts of light
A white glass bowl within the shade
sheds a big cone of. cheerful light
downward. The lamp is not an oasis
of light in a desert of darkness in
your room, however, for the bowl re
flects light upwards also. The three
candle unit showing beneath the shade
is mainly for decoration, but can be
used for additional reading light.
Points to remember are that a floor
lamp should be 54 to 64 inches high,
conforming with the decorative
by share-tenants.
A man owning several farms in one
county may place them all under one
contract, but separate contracts must
be made for farms in different coun
ties. A signing grower must also
place all his peanut land under a
contract.
The production of cash or grain
crops for sale or of basic commodity
crops on farms covered by a peanut
contract must not exceed the produc
tion of these crops in 1932 or 1933,
Ferguson added.
Over 70 per cent of the Wilson to
bacco growers have completed their
sales and have returned their mar
keting cards to the farm agent.

scheme. It should radiate light on
the rest of the room as well as your
book. If it has a light-colored shade,
that “certain something” called “tone” i
will be added. To get the most out 1
of a floor lamp, bulbs totaling at least
120 watts should be used.
Other arrangements of living room
furniture call for different types of
lamps.
The two bridge lamps at top left
illustrate important points. A shade
that must be tilted causes glare which
is harmful to eyes. These bridge
lamp shades make tilting unnecessary.
Both can be adjusted by moving up
or down. Each takes a 60 or 75-watt
bulb.
And you’ll want to hear about the
floor lamp, below at right. It is the \
new Reading and Study Lamp ap
proved by the Illuminating Engineer
ing Society. Using a 100 or 150-watt
bulb, it not only gives marvelous light
to read by, but provides excellent gen
eral illumination.
Does the table lamp at bottom left
seem a little larger than those gen
erally used? It is—and should be if
wanted for reading. Standing 18 to
72 inches high, it gives a sufficiency
wide circle of light for your book or
paper. With two 60-watt bulbs placed
wfell within the shade it offers flexible
light, using one or both bulbs.
Regardless of what lamps you fi
nally decide upon, remember that the
prime requisite is that they give ade
quate glarelcss light for seeing. Oth
erwise they have no place in an up
to-date living room.
New Officers Elected
For Unanimity Lodge
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected Thursday night at the meet
ing of Unanimity Lodge, No. 7, A.
F. & A. M. Those elected were as
follows:
W. C. Bunch, master; J. A. Curran,
senior warden; W. M. Wilkins, junior
warden; C. H. Wood, treasurer; J.
Edwin Bufflap, secretary. These of
ficers will be installed at the regu
lar meeting on December 27th, at
which time appointed officers will also
be installed.
Inorganic Nitrogen
Returns Best Yields
Years of experiment with nitrogen
fertilizers have shown that better
cotton yields can be obtained when
most of the nitrogen is derived from
inorganic sources, says C. B. Wil
liams, head of the State College
agronomy department.
On Cecil clay loam in North Caro
lina, he says, when a 6-8-4 fertilizer
was applied at the rate of 800 pounds
to the acre, the best yield was se
cured with 90 per cent of the nitrogen
being derived from sodium nitrate
and 10 per cent from cottonseed meal.
Following this closely was the yield
obtained by deriving the nitrogen
from a mixture of 80 per cent sodium
nitrate and 20 per cent cottonseed
meal, he says.
When Leunsaltpeter and cottonseed
meal were used, the best results
were obtained with a 90-10 ratio of
Leunsaltpeter and cottonseed meal. A
65-35 ratio for ammonium sulphate
cottonseed meal gave the highest
yield with this mixture,
These and many other details of re
sults obtained in numerous experi
ments in North Carolina and othe'i
cotton states have been set forth in a
bulletin, “Experiments with Nitrogen
Fertilizers on Cotton Soils,” recently
published by the United States De
partment of Agriculture as technical
bulletin No. 452.
C. B. Williams and Dr. H. B.
Mann, the latter an agronomist
working with Williams, contributed
to the bulletin considerable data ob
tained from their experiments.
As long as his supply lasts, Wil
liams will mail copies of the bulletin
free of charge to North Carolina
farmers who apply for it. Other
copies may be obtained for five cents
apiece from the superintendent of
documents in Washington.
Four-H club members of Caldwell
County completed 176 projects in
1934 and obtained excellent results
from their work according to report
books filed with the county agent.
