Intelligent Farming Puts Grower On Fee Reducing a $6,500 mortgage o his farm to $325 in four years throug intelligent use of his land is the stor told by an eight-mule farmer of Hal fax County to W. O. Davis, farr agent of the State College Extensio Service. Asking that his name be withheld the grower told how he raised no thing but cotton, tobacco, and pea nuts before 11*32. Being a mone crop farmer only, he bought all foo< and feed for himself, his tenant; and his livestock. A $6,500 mortgage held bp a Ban] in Halifax blankted his farm whei that bank Krlosed. The note was sol< to another bank which called for pay ments. AH the farmer had left wa one hale of cotton. This he sol< for $10.35 which he gave as an inter est payment. When t.he AAA program was start ed in 1033. this farmer balked at th( provisions but finally was forced t< come in under the act. However once he signed he followed the pro gram to the letter from 1933 to the present time.

Future Of The Nation n The welfare of the Nation largely fc is dependent upon the farm families t j of the South. i- This keynote wa; struck at the u Older Youth conference held at State n' College last week and attended by 101 North Carolina farm boys and 1. girls from Perquimans County in the >- east to Haywood in the west. 1 The family as an institution is the v bulwark of the Nation, but in the J big cities the family is breaking down ;,'said Dr. O. K. Baker, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, k! While the birth rate is declining i seriously elsewhere, it still exceeds 1 the death rate on southern farms. - and in 100 years, he said, most of 3 the nation's population will have de1 scended from southern stock, "j "You young people hold in your ! hands the destiny of the Nation," he " declared, "and you have within your ! power the ability to build up a countr' > that will endure through the ages." Col. J. W. Ilarrelson. administrative dean of the college, also stated 'jthat economic changes are bringing agricultural districts to the front. \ while great cities built largely on ' wealth produced elsewhere have al-j j ready seen their heydey. Dean I. O. 57:haub, director of the ! State College extension service, pointed out that one of the major problems of agriculture is how young ! people who wish to start farming can ??cure land of their own. Few have the capital required to buy and equip a farm of any size. The purpose of the conference,! said L. K. Harrill, 1 -Ii club leader at) the college who had charge of the j ; conference, is "to give information, \ training, and inspiration which will help young men and young women -elect intelligently the vocations foi which they are best fitted." Resides the addresses and recreation, the boys and girls were given advanced instruction in agriculture and rural homemaking. less of the money crops, he has been able to reduce hi- note at the bank from $6,500 to $325. At the beginning of the present crop year, it was not necessary that he borrow money to finance his plantng, Davis declared. He has plenty of corn and feed for himself and his five tenants and is looking forward to another prosperous year. From being a critic of the farm program. he has chantred to one of its most enthusiastic supporters.

Murphy, North C Need Storage Plants For Poultry Products Providing two or three centrally located packing and storage plants would work to the advantage of both buyers and sellers of poultry, believes T. T. Brown, extension poultryman at State College. At present large grocery companies and packers are forced to buy the hulk of their poultry meat and eggs outside North Carolina because their demands cannot be satisfied within the State. Yet. declares Brown. North Carolina growers ship large numbers of | their chickens and eggs to eastern markets. Thus discrepancy is brought about because buyer and seller find it dif ficult to get together. Consequently, i the buyer will continue to make his purchases outside of the state, and jthe seller will continue to ship his poultry north. When there is such a huge poten. J tial market right here in North Carolina for poultry and eggs, some plan I should be worked out so that local products could be bought by home companies and packers, Brown adds. One large packing company made a survey of poultry resources in North Carolina a few years ago, but decided, at the time, there would be an insufficient amount of poultry and eggs to justify the erection of a packing and storage plant. However, declares Brown, poultry production nas expanded to the extent that two or three of these plants could he employed to good advantage at present. Cooperation would be essential to the success of these plants, the poul- j trymen points out. Before they j could be set up. officials would have I to be reasonable sure that there ] would be enough offerings from grow- | ers to keep the establishments going. !

They found It helped to i Increase the appetite and improve digestion, thereby bringing them more strength from their food. Naturally there is less discomfort at monthly periods when the system has been strengthened and the various functions restored and regulated. Cardul, praised by thousands of women, is well worth trying. Of course. If not benefited, consult a physician. I Now You Can Learn I I Beauty | Culture in the South's most modern and largest School.
