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."

Questions
Answered at State College
yLKSTIO.N : What Is the bent
giwn feed for |K>ultry in winter?
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.

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. ' &
Finally the boys got (he engr.-te go
ing and brought the boat around. Wh^r*
they reached IIoUowuV the drag of the;
anehor was so strong that it took two
men to hold him up while a third freed
him from the nndhor rcne.
