Com-And-Hog Program Is Now In Effect
AVAILABLE TO
FARMERS HERE
Processing Tax of 28 Cents A
Bushel Effective Along With
The Hog Tax.
A processing tax of 28 cents per
bushel on all corn to be processed
commercially became effective on
November S. the same time as the
hog processing tax, according to
Announcement of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, which
has also provided for making loans
to farmers on corn in storage.
While the cprn-hog program is
designed especially for the corn
bog areas its provisions may be
accepted by any farmer anywhere
in the United States. Final details
are being presented to the .corn
hog areas as quickly as possible.
Loans on the corn warehoused
on farms will bear four per cent in
terest and will be made by the
Commodity Credit Corporation on
the basis of fO cents a bushel for
No. 2 December corn in Chicago.
This means that the actual loan
value for a farmer will depend on
the prevailing market' price differ
«ntial between t^mcago ana ms 10
■cal point, and also on the differ
ence in price of No. 2 and other
grades of corn.
The loans will be in the nature
of an advance to farmers who
agree to take part in the corn-hog
production control plan, but will
not constitute a lien on benefit
payments to be made under this
plan. Necessary forms and blank
loan agreements are being prepared
£or immediate distribution to
county agricultural agents.

Announces Steps In
Corn-Hog Program
Announcement of a processing
tax of 28 cents a bushel on all corn
to be processed commercially, and
of loans to be made on corn in
storage were the two outstanding
developments of the past week in
the national corn-hog producton
adjustment program of the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration.
While these steps were being
taken, Dr. A. G. Black, chief of
the corn-hog section, and his staff
continued work on final details of
the corn-hog program announced
October 18 by Secretary Wallace.
This will be presented to the corn
and hog growing sections in No
vember. While it was designed
especially for the corn-hog areas,
its provisions may be accepted by
any farmer in North Carolina, says
Dean I. O. Schaub of State College.
Loans on the corn warehoused
on farms will bear 4 per cent in
terest and will be made by the
Commodity Credit Corporation or
the basis of 50 cents a bushel foi
No. 2 December corn at Chicago
This means that the actual loar
value for a farmer will depend or
the prevailing market price differ
ential between Chicago and his loca
point, and also on the difference ir
price of No. 2 and other grades oi
corn. The loans will be in the na
ture of an advance to farmers whc
agree to take part in the corn-hog
production control plan, but wil!
not constitute a lien on benefii
payments to be made under this
plan. Necessary forms and blank
lean agreements will be distributed
to county agents where farmers de
sire the service.
The processing tax on corn be
came effective on November 5.
the same time as the hog processing
tax. It will be collected at point
of first processing.
Quality Of Cotton
Declined This Season
For the first time since 1928,'
cotton growers of North Carolina\
this season failed to record an im-j
provement in the quality of staple
produced. This was due largely
to the planting of shorter staple va
rieties, mixing seed of the longer
staple varieties, and unfavorable
weather conditions during harvest.
"The staple of North Carolina
cotton this season fs but little bet
ter than that of the crop of 1931,”
says Glenn R. Smith, research as
sistant of the department of agri
cultural economics at State College.
'Figures secured from the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that 43.2 per cent of the cot
ton ginned in this State up to
October 26 was less than 15-16
Inch staple, while dnly 29.2 perj
cent of the corn ginned up to .
October 29 of last year was this
hort. The percentage of the 15
16 cotton is about the same as last
season while the percentage of the
shorter staple lengths increased.” j
Smith has made a careful analy
sis of the data secured and says the
iecrease in cotton of one inch and
>etter is general throughout the
rate. In many communities farm
ers have labored hard and long to
mild a reputation for their cotton
ind as a result there has been an in-!
:reased demand for North Carolina
:otton by North Carolina textile,
nills. Under no circumstances
hould the growers lose the ad van-j
rage won.
No grower should permit pres
ent circumstances and adjustment
srograms to cause him to let down
n the quality of the cotton being
;rown. Local buyers and ginners
hould also cooperate with growers
:o encourage better grade and
itaple. Smith says one of the
greatest handicaps facing farmers in
producing a high quality of cotton
s the practice of buyers paying the
>ame price for all staple lengths.

Consumer Must Bear Billion-Dol

PROCEEDS GO TO GROWERS
Producers of Cotton, Wheat, To

Items Benefit by Processing
Levies if They Cut Crops
A tax load of more than $1,000,
000,000 is being shouldered on
American consumers to finance the
government’s program for a gigan
tic reduction in farm production.
The tribute, in the form of higher
prices as the result of processing
taxes, is to be exacted during the
period which began last Jufy 9 and
is to continue until Nov. 4, 1935.
Most of the proceeds are sche
duled to find their way into the
pocketbooks of American farmers,
the principal consideration being
that they forego planting as much
as in the past.
Cotton farmers already have re
ceived more than $70,000,000 as
benefit payments for plowing up 2 5
to 50 per cent of their crop. A
processing tax of 4.2 cents a pound
has been in effect since Aug. 1, to
finance this part of the program,
with receipts estimated at $150,
1000,000 for the year.
A processing tax of 30 cents a
bushel on wheat has been in force
since July 9, and is expected to
yield up to $136,000,000. Be
tween $70,000,000 and $90,000,
000 to be distributed this autumn
to farmers who agree to curb
plantings 15 per cent.
A processing tax on tobacco is
in effect, scheduled to raise about
$20,000,000 for payments to grow
ers who reduce acreage.
Beginning Nov. 5, a processing
tax on hogs was levied, scheduled
to produce $348,000,000 in two
years, the proceeds to be used main
ly to pay benefits on hogs market
ed by farmers who agree to curb
their output 25 per cent.
A processing tax of 28 cents a
bushel on corn used for manufac
turing food and commercial pro
ducts other than animal feed went
into effect Monday. It is expected
to produce from $60,000,000 to
j$70,000,000 in two years.
Surplus butter is now being pur

■fyflJLLER D.BAIRC
CHICKENS NEED VITAMINS
During faH and winter special
thought must be given to vitamins
by the poultry keeper. If the ra
tion is deficient in any of the vita
mins needed by poultry, poor egg
protuction is certain to result.
The present list of known vita
mins includes: A, B, C, D, E, and
G.
Vitamin A—Nutritional rt|up is
the usual symptom associated with
vitamin A deficiency. This disease
resembles common roup, but dif
ters in certain respects and is not
infectious. There is danger of it
when yellow corn (which is a good
source of vitamin A) is completely
replaced by white corn, or wheat,
bariev or oatmeals, unless such
foods as cod-liver oil, alfalfa meal,
yellow corn or green corn feeds are
added in sufficient amounts. Any
ration containing 5 % of dehy
drated afalfa leaf meal, usually con
tains enough vitamin A to prevent
the deficiency disease. Ccd-liver
oil is one of the most potent sources
of this vitamin.
Vitamin B—Certain nervous, dis
orders and also a loss of weight and
vigor, constipation, and even star
vation and death may result from
a lack of vitamin B. However,
this vitamin is carried by wheat,
corn, wheat middlings, wheat bran,
hominy food and skim milk. As
most laying rations contain con
siderable amounts of these grains
and grain by-products, special vita
min B feeds rarely, if ever, need to
to be given.
Vitamin C—It is probable that
vit. min C is not needed by poultry
although it is essential for h,uman
beings'. It is contained in ample
amounts in cabbage, lettuce, and
green alfalfa.
Vitamin D—Vitamin D aids in
normal bone development and pre
vents rachitic leg weakness. A
deficiency of it will lower winter
egg production. Codl-liver oil is
the most commonly used source of
this vitamin. Other sources are
direct sunlight (not through com
mon glass which absorbs the ef
fective rays), ultra-violet irradia
tion, and some fish bils.
Oils used in poultry feeding vary
greatly in their vitamin D potency
Biologically tested, fortified cod
liver oil is preferred- because its
high and known vitamin D po
tency insures complete protection.
Vitamin E—Vitamin E is the
antisterility vitamin. Hens fed on
rations deficient in its lay eggs that
hatch poorly. It is contained in
most substances fed to poultry so
that little attention need be paid
to this factor except under very
unusual circumstances.
Vitamin G—Vitamin G is essen
tial to growth and the prevention
of pellagra. It is ordinarily sup
plied in sufficient amounts in ra
tions containing dried skim milk,
dried buttermilk, dried wheat, cot
ton seed and cotton see^l meal, al
All Legume
Seed Will
Be Scarce
Indications are now that legume
seed of all kind's for planting nexi
spring will be scarce and higher in
Price.
The regulations of the Agricul
tural Adjustnient Administration
require that all land contracted to
be removed from the cultivation of
crops under adjustment cannot be
planted to competing cash crops.
About the only thing these acres
may be used for is soil-improving
or erosion-preventing crops. Food
and feed crops for home use may
be grown but feed crops used fot
fattening hogs for sale may not be
planted. In other words, the con
tracted acreage cannot be used ir
whole or in part for the production
directly or indirectly, for sale of
any nationally produced and dis
tributed agricultural product dur
ing the time of the contract.
"Therefore” says Enos C. Blair
extension agronomist at State Col
lege, “growers had best look tc
saving a good supply- of all kinds
l of legume seed. In the easterr
part of the State where velvet
beans are grown, farmers would dc
well to save enough seed for theii
own requirements. This can tx
done with -little trouble. Aftei
frost, the seed pods may be picked
by hand. Get only those whicl
are mature. This is rather rapid
work as a whole cluster of pods
may be gathered at a time.’
Mr. Blair suggests that the bear
■ pods be placed on a floor and al
| lowed to dry out. In April, when
| the day4 are warm, spread the beans
ifalfa meal, and extracted dried skim
| milk are very potent sources.
out in the sun on a sheet. After
two days exposure, most of the
seed will have popped out of the
pods. A few> light blows with a
stick will finish the job.
Growers who have saved velvet
bean seed at home have found them
as good or superior to bought
seed, he says.

Thousands have Ended
their Bowel Worries
by taking this advice!
Can constipation actually be over
come? “Yes!” say medical men.
“Yes!” say the many thousands
who have followed their advice
and know.
You are not likely to cure your
constipation with salts, pills, tablets,
or any of the habit-forming cathar
tics. But you can correct this con
dition by gentle regulation with a
suitable liquid laxative.
THE LIQUID TEST:
This is the way many men and
women have made their bowels as
regular as clockwork in a very
short time.
First: select a properly prepared
liquid laxative. Second: take the
dose you find suited to your system.
Third: gradually reduce the dose
until bowels are moving of their
own accord.
Simple, isn’t it? And it works!
The right liquid laxative brings
thorough bowel action without
using force. An approved liquid
laxative (one which is most widely
used for both adults and children)
is syrup pepsin. Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin is a prescription, and
is perfectly safe. Its laxative action
is based on senna—a natural laxa
tive. The bowels will not become
dependent on this form of help, as
in the case of mineral drugs.
Hospitals and doctors have al
ways used liquid laxatives. The
dose can be measured, and the
action controlled. Pills and tablets
containing drugs of violent action
are hard on the bowels. "
If there are children in your
household, don’t give them any lad
form of laxative, but use a health
ful, helpful preparation like syrup
pepsin. Its very taste will tell you
it is wholesome, and agreeable In
the stomach. Delightful taste, and
delightful action; there is no dis
comfort at the time, or after. Ask
your druggist for Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, all ready to take.
