reception which farmers ana
their creditors are giving to the
bonds of the Federal Farm Mort
gage Corpo ratios which are now ]
being tendered by ' the Federal -
Land Bank of Columbia, 8. C., In
place of cash in settlement of
farmers' debts.
"These bonds have been sell
ing In the large markets at a lit
tle above par, Indicating a ready
market for them. Just a week
after the banks began using
bonds instead of cash, the first
bonds to be sold on the New
Tork market were purchased at
100-%. We anticipated these
bonds which bear 3 >4 per cent
Interest per annum would sell at
par or above at the time we set
the interest rate, for Government
bonds maturing in 1941, bearing
the same rate were selling above
par."
Mr. Myers pointed ' out that {
these bonds were not only exempt
from local, State and Federal tax
ation with the exception of sur
taxes, Inheritance and gift taxes,
but that they are aa readily sala
ble as Government securities. He
said they are being quoted in the
metropolitan papers but if such
quotations are not available read
ily to farmer* that they will be
given the quotation* if they will
write to the Federal land bank
of their district.

GETTING READY TOR
RENTAL PAYMENTS
The adjustment of cotton re
daction contract! to make the
claims of past acreage and pound
age conform to the known figures
for the production in each
county should be completed with
in the next few weeks, according
to Dean I. O. Schaub of State
College.
Effort* are being made to start
the rental payments by the latter
part of April, so that the money
may be aTaUable to the farmers
for use In the cultivation of the
present crop.
The checks will be sent oat
from Washington, headquarters
of the AAA, as fast as the re
vised contracts are accepted there.
Tabulators at 8tate College
have flntshed the checking of
original contracts in 24 of the 67
cotton growing counties. There
Is some overstatement .in the
claims of past production, bat
little ditficalty is anticipated in
adjusting the figures, Schaub
said.
Catawba and Lincoln counties,
the first two to be checked have
al reedy revjsed their ^|ntracts
and returned them for -flint ap
proval before they are sent on to
Washington.
The . other counties In which
the checking has been completed,
and .which are now ready for the
revision work by local agents,
are:. . Pol|t, Yadkin, Cabarrus,
Stanley, Alamance, Orange. Chaw,

IMPORTANCE OF
CROP SURVEY
Meeting in the Wake County
Court House were the township
tax listing oSclals for 19S4.
Talking to them was the repre
sentative of the State Department
of Agriculture. His subject was
The Farm Census Survey.
In previous years It had been
difflcalt to arouse In these listers
appreciable Interest in this work.
This year, they asked many ques
tions ? indicating Interest. The
County Commissioners here, as
well as in ninety-one other coun
ties, passed a resolution", calling
on the listers to get complete
crop acreage reports.
The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration programs for Cot
ton, Tobacoo, Wheat, Peanuts.
Corn and Hogs necessitate coun
ty basic facts. Both oontractlng
farmers and county-paid tax list
takers are now aware of the im
portance of these records.
It is known that several coun
ties have been the losers of
thousands of dollars because of
careless and Incomplete township
farm reports. Instead of these
reports affecting taxes or reaching
speculators, it Is realized that
this Is solely a protected farmer
benefit acreage survey.
The foreslgbted farmer, coun-'
ty official, tax lister and others
will do well to see that these rec
ords are complete this year. Past
omissions are bad enough, but
thoee of the future will be Jost
too bad. V
Catawba growers have been
busy spraying their peach trees
and mulching their strawberries
In order to Increase the yield, and
produce larger and better fruit.
An increased Interest In the Im
provement of soli fertility has
been manifest.

Farmers Are Still Talking
About Those Big Crops
The tobacco growers is Hali
fax Couaty have discovered a
new kind of fertilizer. Lot year
Swift * Company made the Pool
fertiliser and the results obtain
ed from the use of this fertilizer
were outstanding. One of tha
reasons for this was that this
fertilizer was made physiological
ly neutral (non-acid forming).
Physiologically neutral means
that It cannot leave harmful acid
residue In the soil, which en
dangers the quality and yield of
the tobacco.
We are told that acid injury
has caused many growers to lose
hundreds of dollars and we are
sure that the farmers in this sec
tion will be glad to know that
they can now get a fertilizer
which is sold with the assurance
that it Is non-acid forming. This
new type of fertilizer, which is a
result of several years study by
scientists, is rich and full
strength, yet It never changes the
pH of the soil.
This fertilizer this year Is again
manufactured by Swift & Com
pany Fertilizer Works and put
out under the brand names of
Red Steer and Pioneer.
Undoubtedly the farmers In
this section will want to Investi
gate the merits of this fertilizer
when buying fertilizer this year
as the fertilizer that does not
subject your crop to acid Injury
is a safe fertilizer to use.
In addition to making a non
acid forming fertilizer Swift *
Company Fertilizer Works (till
attach a Certificate of Quality to
all fertilizers manufactured by
them which assures best materi
als, double mixed and triple
tested.
