PLOYD GIVES REASON
FOR LEAF BALLOTING
Farmers have been growing
loore flue-cured tobacco than
the demjdnd called for, K. Y.
Floyd, AAA executive otticer ol
N. C. «$tate College, said in ex
plaining why growers will vote
m a leaf referendum July 20.
‘Consumption of flue cured
tobacco in cigarettes and smok-
-and chewing tob|t.bco increaa
td about |13,0U0,(M)U poun^ in
ll'SQ over 19>3'8. However, the
199U crop was nearly 400,000,
OOO pounds'larger than the cur
rent es'limated level . of world
consumption. This surplus will
continue to depress prices until
~!t can. be eliminated.
"This ia why it is so import-
jtot” Floyd stated, ‘that N^rtlj
Carolina growers should continue
their efforts to adjust the supply
to demand under the proposed
ft-year marketing quota program.
“Fluf-cured tobacco,” he con-
tinaed, 'is.» benefit to farmers
only if ‘ it returns an income
•Iwve the expense of growing
it. While surplus supplies are on
th» market, it is less profitable
than it should be, and may even
be unprofit^le. Therefore, the
quicker supplies are ^brought in
yn« with demand, and kept in
line, the better farmers’ income
Floyd quoted J. B. Hutson,
from flue cured tobacco will be.”

College.
Until recently, practically all
workstock was shipped into the
State, running up an annual bill
of approx^imately 3,500,OKM).
However, in the past few years,
farmers have spurred ft move
ment to raise their own horses
and mules.
This year, a* *a result of the
movement, 3,0©0 horse colts and
1,000 mule colta were born on
North Carolityl farms during the
spring. Still, Prof. Haig said,
this numlber, although encourag
ing, is far below actual replace
ment needs.
At the present time, the work-
stock population number 70,000
iiorses and 310,000 mules. Since
16 yeiaks is the average life of
these animals, it is necessary to
replace about 5,000 horses and
?0,0HM) mules each year.
li^tising a few colts on the
farm requires practically no out
lay of cash, since the amall ad
ditional ^mount of feed required
can be raised with little trouble
or expense. Then, too, the breed
ing can be timed so that the
mare will lose but little time
from regular fa^ duties.
“The fA-mer who does raise a
few colts will not have to spend
from |>300 to |600 in cash for a

LEGUMES HOLD KEY
TO SOIL FERTILITY
C. B. Williams, head of the
N. O. SttdlLe College Agronomy
Department, says legumes plua
pioper ferililzation hold the key
to fertile, productive soils.
The most practicial method in
building up the productive pow
er of soils, he explained, calls
for the proper growth and h^lnd-
ling gf suitable legume crops in
rotation with properly fertiliz
ed muJor ci'4t>s.
The mere growing of legume*
does not assure added fertility
unless these crops are handled
pioperly. If the legumes alre re
moved from the field, leaving
on the land only the stubble and
roots, their use in this manner
alone will prove a delusion so
far as being effective means
cf increasing the producing pow-
tt of the soil in a permanent
way is concerned.
Effective methods of increas
ing the fertlitiy gf soils, Williams
cxplfitned, must be those that
will leave the soil at the end of
each year fairly well supplied
