mately $90,000. It is our desire to j
execute the forms and have pay- j
ments ready to be delivered to '
farmers before Christmas an- !
noUnces Nat H. Ayscue, Chairman
of Franklin County Agricultural
Conservation Association. All far
mers who have not executed ap
plications are urged to call by the
OfTlce at their very earliest con
venience to execute forms that

Cotton Quotas To Be Announced
Before Referendum
Cotton growers in Franklin
County will be notifled of their
individual cotton allotments be
fore voting December 9 in the
Referendum on Cotton Marketing
Quotas for 1940 announces Nat
H. Ayscue, Chairman of Franklin
County Agricultural Committee.
Mr. Ayscue advised that all re
cords on Franklin County farms i
had been summarized and mailed i
to the State Office for the purpose
of having individual allotments
calculated, which when received [
in the County Office will be is
sued to producers. Cotton allot- 1
ments for 1940 will be on an acre-^
age basis, ga they have been for
the past 'two years. Cotton pro- 1
duceTs voted above 84% in favor'
of cotton marketing quotas in,
1938 and 1939. Th** Secretary of j
Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace, \
set the National Cotton Acreage
to be allotted in 1940 at approxi-!
mately 27 or 28 million acres
which is about the same is in
1938 and 1939. Government of
ficials expect this to produce
about 12 million bales on the ba
sis of 214 pounds of lint per acre,
the average for the last five years.
The same system of establishing
individual quotas as has been fol
lowed in the past two years is be
ing used this year.
When Is Wheat Wheat
Farmers planning to cooperate
with the 194J Agricultural Con
servation Program should be care
ful not to exceed 10 acres of
wheat in cases where they do not
have wheat allotment advises Nut
H. Ayscue, Chairman of Franklin
County Agricultural Conservation
Association. Mr. Ayscue further
advised that small farmers at
tempting to plant wheat for the
first time may be penalized $5.00
an acre by exceeding total soil
depleting acreage by planting 10
acres of wheat except in cases
where other soil depleting crops
are reduced accordingly.
As it is possible to confuse
small grain crops with wheat, the
following instructions are helpful
in determining when wheat is
wheat. Mr. Ayscue advises:
"The classification of mixtures
of wheat and other crops for the
1940 Agricultural Conservation
and Price Adjustment Programs
Is the same as that under the 19.19'
programs. The 1939 Bulletin pro
vided that t'lie acreage planted to
wheat means any acreage seeded
to wheat except when it is seeded
in a mixture containing less than
50 per cent by weight of wheat
or containing 25 per cent or more
by weight of rye, barley, vetch or
Austrian winter peas and the
seeding may rasonable be expect
ed to produce' a crop that would
not be harvested as wheat for
grain or seed. An acreage of
such mixture will be considered
as planted to wheat if the crop
other than wheat fails to mature,
and the wheat is harvested.
Consequently if a producer!
plants a mixture of wheat and
vetch .containing 25 per cent or1
more of vetch the land will not]
be classified as planted to wheat.
You will note that vetch and Aus
trian winter peas are the only |
winter legumes that will be used
under the 25 per cent provision.
The use of crimson clover would
require that less than 50 per cent
of the seeding would be wheat.

Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION : How can I keep
skippers and other insects out of
cured meat?
ANSWER: Be sure that thej
meat is protected from flies and
you will bave no trouble with
meat insects. If tbe smokehouse is
screened with No. 16 copper wire
and well ventilated, the meat may
be allowed to hang there until
used without danger. If screening
is not possible, as soon as the
meat is smoked each piece should
be wrapped separately in heavy
wrapping paper, dropped in a thin
cloth bag which should be tied
securely, and hung in a cool, well
ventilated smokehouse or cellar.
This should be done as soon as
the meat is smoked to suit taste.
yi KSTlOX: What are the best
size and age trees to plant in
starting a peach orchard?
ANSWER: One-year old trees,
three to four feet tall and measur- 1
ing seven to eight-sixteenths nre ?
preferred as these trees can be
headed higher at planting time
than smaller trees and will deve
lop the main branches at a greater
distance from the ground. Some
growers plant June budded trees. ,
but these often brauch so near |
the ground that the scaffold limbs |
cannot be established high enough
up to permit of proper cultiva- j
tion. Trees having enlargements ,
or wart like knobs on the; larger i
roots or main stem just below the ;
ground should not be plauted.
QUESTION: How many okl
liens should be carried over for
the next laying flock?
ANSWER: Many farm flock
owners follow a practice of not
keeping any hens more than two
laying years, but breeding farms
sometimes keep an average of
from thirty to sixty percent of the
hens from one year to the next.
Select old hens usually are super
ior to medium pullets, and from
a breeding standpoint are very de
sirable to have in the flock. Un
der no conditions should bens with
short, shallow, and na^fow bodies
be kept in the laying flock as
these birds are poor layers and
will transnfit these qualities to
the offspring.

B. F. Goodrich Co.
Names New
Dealer
Announcement has been made;
of the appointment of Economy
Auto Supply, located at W. Nash
St., as a tire dealer for The B. K. 1
Goodrich Company, to handle the
complete line of Goodrich tires
and accessories In Louisburg,
N. C. |
"Developments in tire engineer
ing. distribution and merchandis
ing by the Goodrich Company in
recent months prompted our de
cision to obtain the Goodrich
franchise in this territory." Mr.
R. Lee Johnson said.
"Goodrich has manufactured
rubber products for 69 years and
was America's first tire builder.
Many of today's outstanding prin
ciples of tire construction were
first developed by Goodrich.
A very successful public speak- i
er gives much of the credit to
this idea: "I have four or five
places where I can end my talk
gracefully," he says. When Ue1
notices members of the audience
beginning to squirm and fidgn
he concludes his speech when he
gets to the closest ending.
Today's popularity
of Doan's Pi..'., alter i
many years of worM- |
wide use, surely niu&t
be accepted as evu'.cncj
of satisfactory mi-.
And favorable public |
opinion supports that j
of the able physicians i
who teat the ralue of !
Doan's tinder exacting
laboratory conditions.
These physicians, too, approve every word I
of advertising you read, the objective of 1
which is only to recommend Doom's Pills >,
as a food diuretic treatment for disorder !
of the kidney function and for relief of !
| the pain and worry it causes.
If more people were aware of how the '
; kidneys moat constantly remove was to
i that cannot stay in the blood without in
i jury to health, there would bo better un
derstanding of why the whola body suffers
when kidney* lag, and diuretic medica
tion would be more often employed.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina
tion sometimes warn of disturbed kidney
: function. You may suffer nageing back
ache, persistent headache, attacks of diz
ziness, getting np nights, swelling, puflt- .
neas under the eyes ? feel weak, nervous,
