SECTION ONE- Cotton Allotment In North Carolina Is Raised 961,193 Acres Recent Legislation In creases National Cot ton Acreage Congress has recently enacted legis lation amending the act governing the determination of national, state, coun ty and farm cotton acreage allot ments. The new legislation increases the national cotton acreage allotment from 17.910.118 acres to 21.079.812 acres, according to Horace D. Godfrey, Administrative Officer for Agricultur al Stabilization and Conservation (formerly PMA). Under the amenda tory legislation the 1984 cotton allot ment for North Carolina would be in creased by 90.198 acres. The North Carolina State ASC Committee, exercising an nation pro-j vided in the legislation, will apportion I most of the additional acreage direct-, ly to farms based on the acreage of Cotton grown in 1981, ;T9l>2. and 1988, Farm allotments: will ho increased; where necessary to provide each farm 1 with an allotment of the larger of (11 . 65 per cent of the average planted • acreage of cotton for the years 1951. 1952. and 1958. or (2) 40 per cent of j the highest acreage planted in any one |, year during such three-year period. * except that no ..allotment will be in- j I creased to more than 50 nor cent of , * the cropland on the farm. A number : of farms ,in the State alreadv have al- * lotments eciu.-tl to or greater than the' above, and. therefore, will not receive! additional ■allotment. However. Mr. '■ Godfrey nointeij out that no allotment 1 already determined will he reduced he- 1 cause of these, factors. Any acreage ' remaining after all forms have receiv- 1 ed V aUotments under ; the “65-40-50" i provision will he allotted to County Committees for . making adjustments , in allotments to take care of hardship ■ cases. The legislation also provides that farm.allotments-' which will not he used may he released for 1954 or .perman ently to. tin 1 County .''Committee and re alloted by the Committee to the farms in the CoiiPfv for. which allotments * have been established. A farm releas ing acreage for 1951 will .he given ' credit for having planted such acre- ' age unless no cotton was planted on ‘ the farm in 1952 and 1953.

Though babies haven’t changed much In the last generation or so, baby feeding certainly has. There was a time when babies were kept on milk until the first tooth appeared. Today, many pediatricians prescribe senai solid foods a few weeks after birth. The pendulum has swung from one extreme to another —and some doctors think it’s time to get back to “normal.” i Everybody admits that "breast milk was made for only one pur pose—to feed the human offspring,” points out Dr. Frank H. Douglass in Northwest Medicine. “It seems logical, therefore, that the best sub stitute for breast milk is properly prepared cow’s milk modified to the approximate composition of human breast milk. . The aver age healthy newborn, fed a form ula simulating breast milk, will be happy and gain to double its birth weight in four months.” Advocates of early solids can point to the fact that many babies also thrive on vegetables, cereals, and meats But, in Dr. Douglass' opinion, these infants are no heal thier than formula-fed babies, and have more chance of running into trouble. A baby’s stomach works hard, under the best of circumstances. On breast milk and water alone, the infant's digestive tract is almost always operating at full capacity. Dr. Douglass found in his studies of a group aged one week to six months. Perhaps the stomach can the conference is to provide newspa- c pi r mechanical personnel, opportune- : ties for professional improvement such i as are now offered editors, news, pho- ,1 tographers, news Writers, and feature ;. \v at similar conferences. Th » conference. Hoyle explained.; will he a practical course for men from both large and small newspa twrs who are interested in profession al advancement. He said the sponsors ’ hope to make the conference an an nal event.

If overworked, the digestive tract is all the more apt to fail completely under any added burden such as fever, infec tion or excitement. Vomiting or diarrhea or both may result. In their enthusiasm for proper feeding, parents shouldn’t forget that the digestive system is only one part of the whole infant. Dr. Douglass says. However you feed your baby, don’t forget he’s a person. done on an individual basis instead of a team basis.

Peach Spray Booklet Now Available Free Tar Heel peach growers, involved in ! a multi-million dollar industry, are an nually faced with a multitude of prob lems, one of the most important of I . which is. "What peach spray and how much?” ; Th- latest miblication of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Sta tion, “Peach Spray Information,” spe cial circular No. 20. should help nn i -w.w many of their problems. The GARDEN TIME The gladiolus is one of our most sat isfactory garden flowers. It is an ex cellent cut flower and makes a con- I spicuous show of color in the garden. Also, it is easy to grow. Gladioli will succeed in any good garden soil that is well drained and where they may be well watered. The fact that we plant well developed forms, or bulbs, in stead of having to nurse seedling plants makes them much easier to handle for the average gardener. A succession of blooms may be had by plantinig every three or four weeks during the season beginning in Feb ruary in eastern North Carolina and; continuing until July. In sandy soil the corms should be, planted about five inches deep and six ! inches apart in the row-—in clay soils four inches deep and six inches apart in the row. Fertilization should be j moderate with any good grade garden | fertilizer and care should he taken : that none of the fertilizer comes into contact with the bulbs. i Select nice plump bulbs—free from ■ 12-page, illustrated booklets are now available free through local county farm agents or by writing Department of Agricultural Information, N.

Ini ease these materials are used they warn the user not to breathe the dust or mist, keep the materials from com-j ing in contact with the skin ot eyes, and never allow any to get in the mouth.
