Clifford R. Hope Os Kansas City Speaks At Meeting Os FCX Clyde Hoey and Harold Cooley Also Schedul ed on Program Three members of Congressional agriculture committees will take part in the annual meeting of the Farm ers Cooperative Exchange and the N. C. Cotton Growers Association in Ra leigh September 8, according to M. G. Mann, general manager of the two farm organizations. Principal speaker will be Clifford R. Hope of Kansas, chairman of the House committee on agriculture. Also included on the program will be two members of the'North Carolina dele gation: Clyde R. Hoey of Shelby, a member of the Senate agriculture cothmittee, and Harold D. Cooley of Nashville, ranking minority member of Congressman Hope’s committee. On of the features of this year’s program will be a question-and-answer session during • which selected ques tions on farm problems will be direct ed to a panel composed of the three members of Congress, plus Dr. D. W. Colvard, newly appointed dean of the N. C. State College School of Agri culture, end Dr. L. Y. Ballentine, North Carolina commission of agri culture. Farm people from North and South Carolina iiave been sending in ques tions at a steady rate during the past month, Mann said. Shortly before the meeting, a committee from State Col lege will screen the lot and select ten or more questions considered most ap- 1 propriate or timely. Mann said the questions submitted thus far indicated farm people are deeply concerned over the outlook for agriculture. Many questions have to do with falling farm prices and the rising cost of production. Others deal with specific parts of the federal farm program, while still others have to do with research, irrigation, and other state and local problems. The annual meeting of the two as sociations usually attracts around 5,- 000 farm people to Raleigh’s Memorr ial Auditorium. Indications are a rec ord-breaking crowd will attend this year’s session, Mann said. Private Wiliis Hurdle Stationed In Germany Pvt. Willie L. Hurdle, whose par ents live on Route 1, Tyner, recently arrived in Germany for duty with the 2d Armored Division. Hurdle, who entered the Army in January, 1953, was last stationed at Camp Rucker, Ala. He attended Edenton High School before entering the Army. Known as the “Hell on Wheels” di vision, the 2d Armored is undergoing intensive field training as part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Army in west Germany.

They may be planted any time in September, Oc tober or November. There are many kinds to choose from including tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinths and Dutch iris. Os these, there are many varie ties and a wide range of colors to (suit the fancy of any individual gar dener. By selecting your varieties you may extend the blooming season over a period of several weeks. That is especially true of daffodils. In sandy or loose soils bulbs may be planted a little deeper than in tight clay soils. Daffodils (narcissi) should be planted six to seven inches deep in sandy loam, tulips and Dutch iris about five inches deep, hyacinths about five to six inches and crocus about two inches. Any good garden fertilizer may be used. It should be put into the soil where the bulbs are i to be planted but must not come into contact with the bulbs. There are many different types of narcissi—commonly called daffodils or Jonquils. Some have small flat flow ers, other have very large flowers with large yellow or white trumpets. Be sure to plant some of the “Golden Harvest” variety. It is one of the i best of the early mammoth yellows. “Beersheba” and “Roxanne” are pop ular large whites, and “Twink” is a : good double flowered variety. The Darwin type of tulip is prob ably the best for the average garden er because qf its long stems and wide • range of colors. However, some of ' the other types give excellent results i for the person who wants something i different. Dutch iris should be planted in Sep tember or early October. The leaves will come out before winter sets in ‘ but this is natural so do not be alarm- ' Hill ■— SEE US FOR YOUR PAINT NEEDS We Carry a Full Line of GLIDDEN PAINTS AND VARNISHES Harrell & Leary Phone 459 THE CHOWAN HERALD.

Cotton Acreage Is Above Last Year Estimated 759,000 Bales Will Be Harvested This Year On the basis of information sup plied by cotton growers, the acreage of cotton in cultivation on North Car olina farms on July 1 is estimated at 770,000 acres. This is 17,000 acres or 2 per cent more than the acreage in cultivation on July 1 last year. The 10-year (1942-51) average acreage in cultivation on July 1 is 729,000 acres. Although some replanting was re quired, most growers obtained better than normal stands. The weather has favored plant growth and the crop generally has made good development. On the basis of available evidence, the percentage of boll weevil infesta tion is above normal for this date in all producing counties. Growers are finding it necessary to follow a fairly rigid dusting schedule to keep infes tation within reasonable limits. Assuming that abandonment after July 1 approximates the 10-year aver age, North Carolina growers will har vest around 759,000 acres of cotton this year. For the Nation as a whole, it is es timated that the acreage of cotton in cultivation July 1 this year totaled 24,618,000 acres—B.6 per cent less than the average in cultivation July 1 a year ago.
