Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College QUESTION: How should grain be fed to bens so as to secure the | highest egg production? ANSWER: A small amount of grain should be fed in the morn ing and the remainder at night in order to secure a higher egg pro duction. The morning feed should be placed in clean litter about four to six inches deep. There seems to be a growing tendency among North Carolina poultry men to make the afternoon feed ing in troughs. This is a good, practice, especially if infections diseases or internal parasites are present. A flock of 100 bens will ordinarily consume from 10 to 12 pounds of grain daily. Of this amount one pound Is sufficient! for the morning feeding with the remainder being fed late in the afternoon. Question: When should I plant my fall garden? ANSWER: Of course, the time the vegetables, time- of maturity, to plant depends on hardiness of and the section In which you live. Tender vegetables must neces sarily be planted In time for them to mature before killing frosts oc cur. However, many of the cool neason vegetables will mature a crop through light frosts, even though they will not withstand heavy freezes. For complete direc tions on planting a fall garden, write to the Agricultural Editor at State CoVlege, Raleigh, for Ex tension Circular No. 122. QUESTION: Should alfalfa be seeded In the fall or spring? ANSWER: Eno* Blair, State College extension agronomist, says experiments have shown that fall seeding Is usually more satisfac tory In the Piedmont and Coastal Plain sections, as well as In the lower elevations of the mountain region. One great advantage of seeding In the fall Is that the young alfalfa plants will nob have to compete with weed and grass. By the time spring arrives, they will be large enough to withstand the ftavaston. When seeded In the Idww elevations of the mountain reffifn. alfalfa should be put in bet w?n now and August IS, with 16-day Intervals betVeen that and the seeding dates or Upper Piedmont and the lower Piadoiont and Coastal Plain. d&m TRI-COUNTY LEAGUE Pet. 704 692 577 577 280 154 Schedule For Saturday Greystone at Pilot Epsom at LOUI9BURC Schedule For Wednesday Epsom at Pilot HENRI' FEIMSTER LEADS | GREYSTONE TO VICTORY | Greystone, Aug. -9. ?

With thej signature of President Roosevelt atfixed to the four amendments to the tobacco section of the AAA, the way is cleared for initiation of an emergency program designed to stabilize leaf prices. The question is whether grower representatives can get together with buyvrs when the two groups meet here at the Agriculture De partment tomorrow. The confer- I ence will discuss a proposed stabi lization plan for the leaf iudustry adopted at a recent meetiug of growers' representatives at the de partment. At that time 4 three-point pro- j gram was adoped. It calleff "Tor [ withdrawal of part of this year's production from the market, an agreement with buyers as to how much acreage should be planted next year to meet demands and an immediate referendum on mar- j keting quotas. Growers will at- < tempt to ascertain from the buy ers the amount that is needed to be taken off the market to stabi lize prices this year and to obtain some assurance that this will re sult in higher prices. The power to call an immediate referendum ou marketing quotas is delegated to the Secretary of Agriculture in the amendments, which the President sent to the capitol as public laws today. Other provisions~contained in the new laws are: Substitution pf an acreage basis for the previous poundage basis in making individual acreage allot ments under the AAA program. This will make the national, state and individual allotments all on the same basis. ? Permission to small growers to increase their plantings as much as 20 per cent over their allot- [ meno in order to reach an estimat ed normal production minimum of 3,200 pounds. Substitution of a flat 10 cents a pound tax on over quota produc tion of flue cured for the varying standards previously . prevailing. WPA Orders New Slashes t : Washington. ? State WPA ad ministrators got new orders Mon day to cut from the work relief rolls all persons who had been on tihem continuously for 18 months or more. War veterans are exempt. The dismissals wore required by the relief act recently passed by Congress, but had been suspended while the possibility remained that Congress would ease the require ments. A proposal to revise the : jaw was defeated last week. Wit>h the adjournment of Con gress. Col. P. C. Harrington, the Works Projects commissioner, tel egraphed his state aides that the dismissals must be effected by Au gust 31. Others must be dismiss ed, he added, as they reach the 18 montih deadline for WPA service. Must Be Certified Persons discharged because of the 18-month rule will not be re hired for 30 days. Then, they must be certified by relief authorities as needy, and will take their places in the file of those awaiting as signment to WPA Jobs. State administrators were told to hire others to replace those dis missed ? up to the total WPA em ployment assigned to tiheir states. Harrington previously had esti mated that 650,000 persons would be dropped from the rolls by Sept. 1 under the new relief act. HOEY DECLINES TO PARDON OR PAROLE FRED ERWIN BEAL Raleigh, Aug. g. ? Governor Hoey declined yesterday to pardon or parole Fred Erwln Beal, form- . er communist labor organizer who Is serving 17 to 20 years In prison for conspiracy in the slaying of a police chief during the Gastonla textile strike riots of 1929. It was understood, however, that Hoey would either parole Beal or shorten his sentence be fore January, 1941, when the gov ernor will go out of office. This action would be contingent on Beat's maintaining a good prison record. A formal statement by Commis sioner of. Paroles Edwin Olll said the denial of Beal's clemency pe tition "does not mean that some action may noti be taken In the prisoner'* behalf at a later date." Beal now is a "B-grade" convict at the Caledonia prison farm. Counting time gained tor good be havior, he has served one year, 10 months and 25 days of his sen tence. He entered prison here February 16, 1938. Governor Hoey, as a practicing attorney, represented fche prosecu tion at Beal's trial nine years ago. FOR FIRST CLASS PRINTING PHONE 283-1 Leaf Grower# Drop Plan Decide To Take Present Prices And Hope For Bet ter Returns Next Year ' Washington, Aug. 9. ? Farmer representatives of flue-cured to bacco growers today placed their hopes for better prices for the yellow leaf on prospects for sharp curtailment of production next year with quota restrictions on marketing. They concluded after a meeting with buyers that it would ,be better to let the record-breaking 1939 crop be sold in the usual manner with hope iti would average be tween $15 and $18 a hundred pounds. Plans for an early farmer, elec tion on the question of invoking marketing quotas of the 1940 crop a procedure made possible when President Roosevelt signed tobac co amendments to the 1938 farm law, were put aside. "Best to Walt" Growers who previously bad ex pressed hope an early referendum prould help bolster 1939 prices con- j eluded it would be best to wait until later in the year when a curtailment program for 1940 had been formulated. f Buyers attending the meeting, representing virtually every large tobacco buying company, told the growers a crop of between 675, 000,000 and 750,000.000 pounds probably could be taken by the market next year at a satisfactory price to the farmers. They contended the Crop Re porting Board's estimate of a crop in excess of one billion pounds this year was "excessive" and placed the actual production at between 875,000,000 and one billion pounds. The Crop Reporting Board will make a revised estimate' to morrow. t~ J. H. Hutson, assistant AAA administrator, who sat in on the buyer-grower meeting, said it was the consensus that a curtailed crop next year and the large crop of 1939 would about equal normal flue-cured tobacco requirements for t-wo years. He estimated 1940 acreage al lotments would total about 800, 000 acres, a figure previously sug gested by the grower representa tives. This would be 10 per cent below the 880,000 acres allotted for 1939 but nearly 30 per cent) under the 1.100,000 acres planted. Give Pastures A Rest The farmers should follow the soil conserving recommendations of the Franklin Work Unit, Tar River Soil Conservation District staff, near Frankllntion, and give their permanent pastures a rest during the dry. summer months and thus improve their erosion control program, according to William E. Adams, Assistant Agronomist. Pastures need a rest, just* like human beings, especially during mid-summer dry weather. From July until early fall rains, Adams points out, summer pasture pro duction usually falls off. If over grazed at such times pasture plants become so weakened that erosion follows. Many farmers during this per iod use pearl millet, kudzu or a mixture of soybeans and sorghum for supplementary pasture, taking care that the pearl millet Is at least* 10 to 12 inches high and that the kudzu is not overgrazed. By early September these farmers can return their stock to the perma nent pastures which usually will again be in production due to fall rains. ' ? Use of kudzu, pearl millet or the soybean and sorghum mix ture for supplementary pasture cuts down on expensive summer grain and bay feeding and keeps up milk and beef production as well. The grain and hay thus saved will prove valuable this winter. NEGRO FARMERS AND HOME MAKKRS INSTITUTE The twenty-flnt' annual session of Negro Farmers ahd Homemak ers Institute will convene in Bertie County at Windsor, August 15 and 16th. This Id an organization composed of Negro farm men and women throughout the state. The meeting this year Is dedicated to the twenty-fifth anniversary of Cooperative Extension Service.
