By COUNTY FARM AGENTS TOH A (CO OUTLOOK FOB 1040 I I (By W. C. Boyce, Couuty Agent) "The Agricultural Situation" for November, 1939 which is pub lished by the United States De partment of Agriculture has an article on 1940 tobacco outlook by C. E. Gage which I am sure is of much interest to tobacco far ( mers in Franklin County. j The following are important ' statements as taken from this ar ticle: "The tobacco situation, present and prospective, contains more complexities than usual ? improv ing domestic demand for the ma jor tobacco products, oversupply of many types of leaf tobacco, ex ports impaired by war conditions, expedients to ameliorate the ef 'fects of halted British buying, heightened foreign duties on to ibacco, referenda on' marketing I regulation, increasing foreign I production, and so on. Out of lliis conglomeration of factors it lis possible to discern some liope i ful signs as an offset to some that are not . hopeful. "The export outlook for flue cured tobacco may be summed up as follows: Exports to the Far East are likely to be somewhat smaller next year. England has temporarily stopped the importa tion of tobacco insfoar as the use j of dollar ^exchange is concerned. "The cessation of British buy ing means that manufacturers will i cut deeper and deeper into their Ipresent 2-year supply of Ameri jcan wa( and probably increase their usage of Empire tobacco. In efTect, while British stocks of flue-' cured tobacco are being depleted abroad a reservoir of similar to bacco is being built up over here by which to make up the deficien cy If and when the restrictions are removed and English concerns elect to exercise their options. "However, there is more to this situation than a mere delay ill the ] timing of British imports of Am- , erican tiue-cured tobacco. Twice this year the English duty has been upped ? by 2 shillings per ; pound each time. This fact alone : would impair the position of our i tiue-cured tobacco in competition with that from Empire sources. ; Taken in conjunction with the stoppage of Imports above refer red to, there is bound to follow u considerable shift from American to Empire tobacco, and this shift may be of gfeat importance in the future. "* "Unquestionably there is an oversupply of flue-cured tobacco at this time ? the largest crop and the second largest July stocks in history. July stocks next year can not fall of setting an all-time high, so that if no improvement occurs in the export situation and if there is not an heroic cut in production, the^m&rketlng situa tion in 1940-41 will be bad in deed. Under these circumstances the action of growers in voting.^ | into effect a drastic control pro^ [gram for 1940 was most oppor tune. This, combined with the steadily improving domestic situr atlon, may spell the difference be tween a fairly satisfactory market and disaster a year hence." ltesults recently summarized by L. T. Weeks, Extension Tobacco Specialist from State College, for variety test conducted by J. W. Hudson, Youngsvllle, N. C. R 1, showed Mammoth Gojd to return, the highest cash income per acre. Mr. Hudson planted this tobacco on Appling fine sandy loam soil and used 1000 pounds of 3-10-6 fertilizer to the acre and planted In rows four feet apart with 26 inches on drill.

ANSWER: Cured alfalfa hay. lespedeza, or clover hay make good greens for winter use pro vgled the green color is retained. .Walfa leaf meal, if green in col or, also makes a satisfactory feed, but should not constitute more than ten per cent of .the mash. This feed is much preferred to al falfa meal which has a high fiber . content, but neither is as satis factory as green alfalfa hay. All the hays should he fed in rucks; I as the birds will eat only the leaves and the stems can then lie *hrowji in the litter. yi'KS'NOX: Should shade trees lie pruned in winter tlie same us fruit trees or shrubs? . ANSWER: No! Many beauti ful groyes are ruined each year by quack tree surgeons or by su perstitious person!) Shade trees should be allowed to form their nbtural shape and, if there are too many trees, thin them out ra ther than cut them back. For scale control, the trees should be I sprayed with lime-sulphur or miscible oil. The same treatment j should be applied to fruit trees and shrubs. Be sure that the air is still and not too cold when the spray is applied. QUESTION : How can stomach worms be controlled in a herd of | young cattle? ANSWER: Preventive measur es are very important in control ling this parasite. The pasture should be well drained and the cattle frequently changed to fresh pasture. Drinking water should be supplied from a well or from flowing streams preferably in troughs above the level of the ground. The medical treatment consists of drenching the animals , with a solution of copper sulphate made by dissolving one-fourth pound of clear blue crystals of copper sulphate In one pint of boiling water and adding enough cold water to make three gallons of the solution. For yearling cat tle the dose is six fluid ounces and a second treatment should be giv en In ten to fourteen days. Woman (to floorwalker) ? Do you have any notions on this floort Floorwalker ?

DU VClGRTJundcr writer bi' fi lion vy anchor rope that, had snarled around his legs and pulled J|im over board on a night fishing trip, Vaden Hollo way, of Messick, Virginia, was saved fro?n drowning when his com panions located him with a flashlight awl |?>;id d their launch to him. Hollow av, the boat's skipper, had gone forward to weigh anchor and move t.> another position. But he had untied the anchor ror?c, and when his feet be came entangled in the coils on deck, he was dragged overboard, carrying the rope with him. The launch, freed from its anchor, drifted rapidly away on an outgoing Chesapeake Bay tide. '?'J'he anchor hook was si ill holding on the bottom," Hollowav said, "with the tide running so strong that I was pulled well under. The harder 1 strug gled to free my legs, the more the rope dragged me down. I was anchored th<?re, ten miles from shore, in pitch darkness. No one had heard ine go overboard, and the bout was fast drift ing out to sea. * '?Working to keep my head above water, I shouted to them as loud as I could. I didn't think they'd ever hear me, but finally some one did. The boat I carried only one small oil lantern and I its beam wasn't strong enoii&li to dc any good. "Then somebody found the one flash light on board. We had used it a good deal but the batteries were fresh when we put them in, and so they still worked okay. Although the bout w:vi picking up speed on the outgoing tide, they located me with this light. "While one tried to keep the beam focuseed on me, the others worked to get the motor started. Despite their efforts, it wouldn't turn over. It re sisted everything they could do a* they drifted farther and farther away. Iwn pretty v eak, but I managed to shout directions to them.

But what is more necessary the number of the car. Increased domestic and foreign demand (or wool brought about by the European War and reduc ed supplies of wool in the United States will tend to support do mestic wool prices in 1940.
