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, ham. Hoke, Vance, Wilson. Cam den. Pasquotank, Perquimans, Chowan, Beaufort, Guilford. Gas ton. Tyrrell, Alexander, Gates, Warren, and Randolph. 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. FOR FIRST CLABSjfrRINTINO PHONE Anne Lindbergh Honored WASHINGTON .... Mr*.

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.
