One Plan Adopted To
Cut Cotton Acreage.
tfjrth Carolina will move for
ward aggressively to cut acreage
0 f cotton next season - under a
plan adopted as a state-wide
measure at a meeting of all in
terested organizations aud indivi
duals held in the State Capitol
at Ralaigli on Monday, November
g The meeting called by Gover
nor A. W. McLean heard a num
ber of important suggestions ami
then adopted a program of action
to be put into effect by a special
committee beaded by L)r E. C.
Brooks, President of North Car
olina State College.
This committee consists Of a
representative of the College, of
the State Department of Agricul
ture, of the cooperative cotton as
sociation, of the Agricultural
Committee of the State Bankers
Association, .-representatives ( of
Chambers of Conurturce and two
or mere leading farmers.
The plau under which the re
duction in acreage will be brought
about calls first for a better bal
auced system of agriculture,
which in itself according to the
experience of good farmers should
reduce the acreage by 33£ percent.
The secofod point is that a cam
paign will be begun immediately
to curtail acreage by diversifying
crops and by signing a pleilgo to
cut the acreage of cotton by 2j
percent. A pledge will bo pre
sented to each individual cotton
farmer asking him to cut his acre
age by 25 percent. and to put in
a better balanced system of farm
iug.
Fourth, the aid of baukers and
supply merchants will he enlisted
and they will be asked to sign a
pledge not to supply credit except
where acreage is reduced and the
elemeutary pricteiples of good
farming are followed.
Fifth, public recognition of
farmers adoptiug the new plan
will be given.
Sixth, better marketing facili
ties will be worked out and the
farmers will be aided in market
ing their surplus food and feed
crops.
To carry out these plans, one
central state committer has been
appointed and a county committee
will be in charge of each county.
Hogs Kept Him From Going Broke
A. H. Oliver of Mouut (/live is
a young middle-aged farmer with
a keen mind -aud when a fact
abont better farming is presented
to him in the right way, he
searches through it carefully and
if it is worth his attention, he
gives it a trial.
Hejdid this with hogs. For
over four years. Mr. Oliver aud
W. W. Shay, swine extension
specialists at State College, have
written to each other and paying
oiw another occasional visits.
Mr. Oliver l became interested in
tlie breeding and feeding of swine
according to the demonstrated
methods and decided to give it a
trial. On November 6 he wrote
to .'lr. Shay saying, "1 have mar
keted two car loads of hogs this
year and now have 106 pigs just
weaning. I shall begin breeding
my sows nest week. My hog
sales for the year, to date, have
been about $3,800 1 am just
turning my pigs on the soybean
fields with access to shelled corn,
Weal, middlings, fish meal and
minerals. If this course is uu
wi 9e , please write me at once."
Jlr. Oliver stated further that
'■e plans to have rye on new land
with which to fatten his p'gs in
The rye will then bo
plowed under and the land plant- #
e, l to corn for hogging down in
the fall.
"1 have made over 1,400 bar
rels of potatoes audp over 100
O'des of cotton this year but hogs
»®ve kept me from going broke,"
ue says.
Mr. Shay disagrees with his
Correspondent when he says that
10 gs kepi him from going broke.
1' was the combination of hogs
ftud the knowledge of bow to
them profitable that kept
® r - Oliver on a cash basis this
yefcr. The 106 young mortgage
'Hers arie being handled so as to
e r ®ady for finishing next year
»the least possible cost and with
116 greatest gains.

Tarheel Sheep Industry
Depends On Lambs.
The sheep industry of North
Carolina is largely dependent on
the production of early spring
lambs. This means fearly breed
ing, early lambing and early mar
keting. *
"Our rule then, should be to
breed the ewes not later than
August to have them lamb not
later than January and to market
them not later than May, if we
are to make the most money from
sheep," says R. S. Curtis of the
animal husbandry department at
State College. "The sheep in
dustry, however, has one great
menace and this is the stomach
worm. Most growers recognize
the symptons characteristic of
this trouble. The sheep are in a
general listless condition, they
are white around the membranes
of the eyes, the skin lacks . its or
dinary pink color and there is a
swelling under the throat. Pre
ventative measures should be
used to control the worms as doc
toring after they have gained a
foothold does little good."
Mr. Curtis advises ihe blue
stone treatment to prevent worms
both iu the ewes aud the lambs.
Bluestone is cheap and one-fourth
of a pound is enough to drench a
flock ot' 30 to-40 sheep one time
This amount of bluestone is mixed
with euough water to dissolve it
thoroughly and then enough cold
water added to the solution to
bring it up to three gallons. Use
a non-metallic container such as
a wooden tub. For.lambs under
one year of age give If ounces
and for mature sheep give 3£
ounces. This treatment needs to
be given alter the sheep have
been without feed or water ovor
uight.
In drenching, Prof. Curtis ad
vises, to allow the seeep to stand
on all four legs aud do not hold |
the head too hitrh or the solution
will get into the lungs aud pro
duce intaut death. Use a rubber
tube about three feet long. Drench
all sheep before putting them in
winter quarters and then keep
them on a clean pasture. Fre
quent change of pasture is advi
sable.
Thanksgiving Turkeys To Be Higher
Thanksgiving turkey eating
will be somewhat more costly this
year than in the past two year,
according to a holiday prediction
made by the Sears-Roebuck Agri
cultural Foundation. The tur
key crop is not as large as it was
last year or the year before, and
a prediction of 45 to 48 cents a
pound for this year's Thanksgiv
ing turkey is not considered pes
simistic.
The cold weather this fall has
been favorable "turkey weather." ,
So long as the days and nights
are comparatively warm, turkeys
continue to rove the country
and fail to put on flesh. When
the temperature falls, they
are content to cease wandering
off, and settle down to grain feed
iug which rapidly adds pounds to
turkey meat. The crop generally
is further advanced than at
this time iu several years, aud
reports from the country consist
ently tell of the high quality of
the turkeys. In Texas, which is
the big early state for turkeys,
the crop is believed to exceed last
year when many of the young
poults were lost during the hot
dry summer. Oklahoma, Arkan
sas, Missouri, Kansas, lowa, and
Ohio are expected to have fewer
turkeys for fche market this season
while the other states report flocks
of about the same size last year.
Stocks of turkeys iu storage are
less than half as large as at this
time a year ago and 40 percent
the five year average. Re
serves of frozen turkeys, there
fore, will be less of a market fac
tor this seas»u tlian last. Hold
ings of chickens aud fowls are five
millio# pounds larger than a year
ago and teu million pounds larger
than the five-year average, how
ever, offsetting to some degree the
decline in turkeys.

The Profitable Way
to Keep Hens
Only One Feed to Buy
Many peaple claim that it costs
more to feed poultry than they re
turn in meat and eggs. _ This ia
largely due to tbe use of an uubal
anced feed. Grains and scratch
feeds made from grains are nr.t a
balanced feed-
No flock, large or small, will ever
p3y a profit on an unbalanced feed.
While on u balanced fee«i, which
costs but little more, the same fowls
will furnish enough aud meat
to liberally reward their ownert.
Using two different feeds —one a
scratch made of grains—the other a
mash of concentrates, was the utsual
way of balancing the rations, but it
is too troublesome for the average
person. It doesn't balance the ja
tion for every hen, consequently it
is used by only a few. The two tn
ooe method, a mash and scratch all
in one, a food that can be feu like
wheat or corn, is the real solution
for the average mau. Gubern'ut
Laying Feed is just such a feed—a
perfectly balanced feed. Many users
call it a real discovery. The longer
you use it, the better you like ii—
those who have fed it constantly for
years are its greatest boosters. Ask
the person who has fed it, or order
a sack and be convinced. Money
back if not satisfied.
