Washington There is pend
ing before the House Committee
on Agriculture proposed legisla
tion which is of tremendous im
portance to all farmers who pro
duce tobacco.
The proposal, which has been
approved by the Tobacco Sub
committee of the House, would
permit farmers to rent and
transfer tobacco allotments with
in county lines.
The proposal has restrictions
in it which would limit to five
the number of acres a farmer
could lease and the rental agree
ments could not run for more
than one year, but may be re
newed.
This proposal should be en
acted into law, because it would
help solve some very serious
problems we are encountering
in all tobacco-growing areas.
In past years, such proposals
have met with a great deal of
opposition, but changing times
and conditions have all but
eliminated serious opposition to
measures which would allow
farmers more flexibility in rent
ing tobacco allotments. Fann
ers may now rent tobacco al
lotments, but they must plant
such allotments on the farms to
which the allotments are as
signed.
Most of the opposition to such
measures in the past has been
based on the danger that many
farmers may rent very large
acreages and over a period of
years the total tobacco acreage
would be controlled by a rela-
Health And Safety Tips
The swimming and boating
season is at its peak. Swim
ming and boating are lot of fun.
But these summer pastimes can
turn quickly from family fun to
stark tragedy.
It is particularly important in
the summer to know hew to
give artificial respiration to the
swimmer who sinks. The vic
tim's life may depend on quick
and educated action. Few peo
ple can survive more than six
minutes without oxygen and
many would be dead in four
minutes.
The two most commonly used
methods of artificial respiration
are mouth-to-mouth breathing
and the back-pressure arm-lift
technique, according to an ar
ticle in the August issue of To
day’s Health, the magazine of
the American Medical Associa
tion.
The mouth-to-mouth method:
Lay the victim flat on his back
and tilt his head backward.
Hold his jaw forward. Take a
deep breath. Seal your mouth
around the victim’s mouth. Blow
into his lungs. Stop blowing j
when you see his chest expand, j
Listen to him exhale while you

tively few farmers. This dan
ger has been eliminated in the
proposed measure with a pro
vision that no one farmer may
rent more than five acres.
In my opinion, the measure
would have little or no effect
on the larger producers of to
bacco. In fact, the only justi
fication for such a proposal is
to assist those farmers who have
allotments that are too small
to plant on an economical basis.
For example, a farmer who does
not have enough acreage to keep
at least one tobacco bam run
ning cannot possibly operate as
an economic unit.
I get a great many letters
from farmers who have tobacco
allotments of an acre or less.
Many of these allotments are
small because of estates being
divided, and for a number of
other reasons. Furthermore,
many such allotments are prob
lems for those to whom they
are assigned because they are
unable to get tenants to come
to their farms and plant an acre
or less of tobacco.
The proposal which would al
low the transfer of rented to
bacco allotments from one farm
to another within counties is
similar to legislation I intro
duced, and which is now law.
which permits the transfer of
cotton acreage allotments. The
ekperience we have had with
the cotton transfer law has been
exceptionally good, and I am
sure a similar program for to
bacco would be wise and in the
best interest of agriculture.

The back-pressure arm - lift
I method: Lay victim face down,
hands under cheeks. Turn his
j face to one side so nose and
j mouth are exposed. Place your
j hands en the victim's back,
thumbs almost touching and
I fingers spread. The base of
; your palms should be just below
his shoulder blades. Keeping
elbows straight, rock slowly for
ward. exerting gradually in
creasing pressure. This expels
1 bad air. After pressing down
ward, grasp victim’s arms above
the elbows and rock slowly
backward. Draw victim's arms
upward until you feel tension
at his shoulder. This will ex
pand the victim’s chest, draw J
air into his lungs. Repeat 12
times a minute.

POTASH INCREASES FORAGE
STAND, YIELD. AND PROFIT
Potash can increase the for
age farmer’s stand, yield, and
profit per acre, agronomist R. E.
Blaser reports, but how much
potash should be used?
“That depends on many
things,” Blaser explians, “the
type of soil, the amount of avail
able potassium in it, the forage
mixture involved, the time of
application, etc.”
Experimenting with alfalfa
orchardgrass on Cecil soil, agron
omists found this potash influ
ence on stand, yield, and profit:
Stand Without potash, one
plant of alfalfa survived in about
every 3 sq. ft. of soil area. With
potash, the alfalfa stand increas
ed to more than 3 plants per
sq. ft. —from 0.9 plants with 50
lbs. potash to 3.4 plants with
400 lbs. potash per acre.
Yield Without potash, the
mixture yielded only 1.4 tons
hay per acre. With rpotash, yield
increased with amounts from
2.28 tons hay with 50 lbs. pot
ash to 4.01 tons hay with 400
lbs. potash per acre. The best
yield—4.o7 tons —came from ap
plying 200 lbs. potash per acre
in split applications, one-half in
March, one-half after second cut
ting.
Profit -r- Without potash, there
was no profit; in fact, a loss
of $9.50 per acre. With potash,
profit increased with amounts —
SIO.BO profit per acre with 50
lbs. potash to $38.17 per acre
with 200 lbs. potash to $40.1,
profit with 400 lbs. potash per
acre. The most profitable prac
tice —securing $49.97 profit per
acre—was the same treatment
that brought the best yield, 200
lbs. potash in split applications.
