EFFICIENCY AND MARKET MIiMS I
CONFRONT PEANUT GROWERS IN STATE
Head of N. C. State College Agronomy Depart
ment Points Out Production Drops 42 Per
Cent Since World War II
i
Two big jobs face North Carolina,
peanut growers according to E. T. ■
York, head of the department cf ag-,
ronomy at N. C. State College.
York, speaking at the recent an- 1
nual meeting of the N. C. Peanut
Growers Association in Scotland Neck, 1
said expanding markets and increas
ing production efficiency are the two 1
big problems facing comercial peanut '
producers. ■ j 1
In stressing the need for expanded
and greater consumption of peanuts
and peanut products, York said there 1
has been a 42 per, cent reduction of
peanut production in North Carolina;
since World War 11. The price per,
pound received by farmers has re
mained the same, meaning that pea- , 1
nut producers have lost almost half 1
of their income from the sale of pea
nuts in less than a decade.
The farmers’ responsibility in ex-1
panding markets, acording to York, is
to improve quality through coctro. of '
insects and diseases; improving har-

“Anyone can do it,” the man said, i
So you painted the living room walls
and ceiling yourself. It looked fine,
too, but next day you had a painful
shoulder that just about ruined all ;
your pride of achievement. You de
eided, perhaps, that you weren’t made (
for that kind of work, and, in away,
you were right. It’s one of the many
troubles we made for ourselves when (
we decided to get up on our hind legs
and use our front paws for hands.
Hooked up between your shoulder |
blades and the big bone of the upper j
arm is a little muscle with a job that
is sometimes too big for it. Its long
name —supraspinatus —isn’t much help (
when it has to work all day keeping (
the arm bone in its socket against the (
pull of gravity. Holding the arms up (
and out puts a constant strain on the t
muscle and its tendon. And every arm (
movement we make pinches the ten
don between the shoulder blade and ,
arm bone.
So you see, it wasn’t surprising that ;
the unaccustomed work of painting ,
gave you a painful shoulder. Acute i
bursitis usually cures itself quickly, i
but it can develop into a condition that
disables its victims for months or
years. We tend to baby the sore ,
shoulder, when the best cure is to
keep it moving. Lack of motion may
cause adhesions to form, and then the '
shoulder becomes practically frozen . in
its socket.

varieties to fit consumer demands.
! Two new varieties, NC-1 and NC-2
I have been released by the North Car
lolina Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion and seed of these varieties is
now available to farmers.
York believes the one-year-old Pea
nut Growers Association can go a long
way in establishing new uses for pea
| nuts and promoting and advertising
peanut products.
i In increasing production efficiency
on each individual farm, York recom
mends increasing yields by:
1 (1) Using improved varieties
(_" Letting adequate stands by
planting enough seed properly treat
ed for disease control and closer spa
ced rows
(3) Proper fertilization
j (4) Proper cultural practices
(5) Controlling insects and diseases
‘ (6) Chemical and mechanical cul
tivation
1 (7) More efficient harvesting
does not mean bursitis. Th'v safe
course is to consult your uoctor if
shoulder pain does not clear up quick
ly.
As an exercise for bursitis doctors
frequently suggest bending over with '
the arm relaxed and then swinging it
like a pendulum from front to back,
side to side, and round and round. ;
You can do this in a bending position j'
even though, standing straight, you |
couldn’t move the arm because of
pain. You may feel foolish, but in a
few weeks your shoulder will proba
bly be as good as new.
Farmer Finds It Pays
To Mix Fertilizers
When the price of farm products is
falling and the prices paid by farm
ers are rising there is a natural ten
dency to cut costs by cutting down on ,
fertilizer. If lowering fertilizer costs
is done at the expense of over-all soil
fertility a mistake is being made.
These are the sentiments of agricul- j
tural leaders and many progressive,
farmers. Many are finding it profit-,
able to use high analysis materials
such as 33 per cent ammonium ni
trate,4B to 62 per cent phosphate and
60 per cent potash and mix their own
required analysis.
One. such farmer is Milton Moretz
of Watauga County. L. E. Tuckwiller,
county agent for the State College Ex
tension Service, says Moretz mixes all i
his own fertilizer. For corn at plant- j
ing he uses 100 pounds of 33 per cent •
nitrogen. 100 pounds of 48 per cent J
phosphate and 100 pounds’ of 60 per

cent potash. This gives him the equiv
alent of more than 500 pounds of 5-
10-10. His cost is about $9.85, while
500 pounds of 5-10-10 would cost
about $13.75.
I With his own mix he gets 33 pounds
'of nitrogen, 48 pounds of phosphate
and 50 pounds of potash. Thus he
gets eight pounds more nitrogen, two
pounds less phosphate, and 10 pounds
more potash for $3.90 less per acre
by mixing his own.
For blue grass pastures he uses 100
pounds of 62 per cent phosphate and
100 pounds of 60 per cent potash. This
gives him the equivalent of more than
400 pounds of an 0-14-14 per acre at
a cost of $4.72. The cost of the 0-14-
14 would be approximately $lO. Sav
ings would be $6.18 per acre.
For alfalfa he uses 100 pounds 62
per cent phosphate and 200 pounds 60
per cent potash per acre. Costs on
i this is $7.72 per acre. In addition he
• uses 35 pounds of borax per acre ev
