Set New Vohime Record
, :^A B«w high record in rolnme ct
anr ikusiness wm set br the Elec-
Mc Home and Farm Authority
Xaring April, A. T. Hoheon, Oen-
■rki Manager and Secretary, an-
■vnoed.
A total of 9,865 sales con-
Taets were purchased by the Au-
ttority in April from approred
appliance dealers and electrical
MBtractors. The previous peak
■onth tor the EHFA was June
1939 when 8,263 contracts were
purchased.
The Authority’s recent opera
tions also have been marked by
an Increasing spread of its actlvl-
tiee In rural regions, particularly
in areas served by cooperatives
which are projects of the Rural
Electrification Administra 11 o n,
Mr. Hobson said. This trend is In
accord with the EHPA’s efforts to
provide means for rural families
to take advantage of modern la
bor-saving home appliances
through the purchase of electric
al equipment on easy terms.
Operation De-scribed
Under the EHFA installment
financing plan, families with
modest incomes can purchase
juch equipment as electric re
frigerators, washing machines,
electric ranges, water heaters,
and ironers with a small down
payment and easy financing
terms.
The new record set by the Elec
tric Home and Farm Authority’s
Business in April continued a
trend of increasing volume in
tomparlson with preceding years
that has been inder way for
some time. In the first four
months of 19 4 0, the Authority
purchased 25.258 sales contracts
as compared with 17,187 in the
lorresponding perk>d of 1939.
51« I'tilUios Are .\gent«
The Increasing availability of
the EHF.A. plan to consumers
throughout the country is shown
4y the fact that 516 public and
private utilities are now under
contract with the Authority to
act as its agents in collecting
payments on installment pur-
ehases of appliances by their cus
tomers from dealers. This repre
sents an increase of 163 since
June 30. 1939, when 353 utilities
«'ere cooperating with the EHFA
program.
Under the EHFA plan, the
customers of these utilities are
billed for their monthly Install
ment payments on the companies’
regulsr service bills. .1
Cotton And Td>acco
Face Real Trouble
Cotton and tobacco are two
great export crops In which North
Carolina farmers are vitally In
terested and. according to 'xperts
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, those farmers
who produce crops of which a
substantial portion go for export
are going to be in trouble this
fall.
This makes it absolutely nec
essary that the three-point Agri
cultural Extension program of
(1), food for man and best: (2),
a more fertile soil, and (3), a
balancing of cash crops with live
stock be widely adapted in the
State.
Right now, the Nation i.s mov
ing as fast as it can in organizing
towards a defense program to
protect this country against on
slaughts and conquests of totali
tarian nations. State College is
aiding in this program as its fa
cilities permit and while the Na
tion atompts to put idle men,
money and factories to work to
produce the needed munition' of
war, the College Extension Serv
ice is calling upon its county a-
gents, specialists and other train
ed experts to foster the produc
tion and conservation of all kinds
of food and feedstutfs.
It is. of course, expected that
the preparedness program will
evehtually make up for the loss
of foreign markets for farm pro
duce but as Secretary Wallace
has pointed out, until the prepar
edness program is sufficiently
underway to have this effect,
farmers should be careful that
they are not the victims of the
war's interference with world
trade. In other words. College of
ficials believe that security for
North Carolina farmers lies in
the definite adoption of a safe
farming program and it is not
yet too late to plant additional
food and feed crops to be saved
for use on the farm no matter
what happens.

Questions
Answered By
State College
Question: How often should
poisoned bait be used to control
bud worm damage in tobacco?
Answer: Applications should
begin ten days to two weeks after
the plants are set and should be
repeated every week or ten days
until the plants are topped. Make
the applications early In the
morning when the tabacco bud Is
open by placing a small 'pinch of
the poison directly in the Cen;.er
of the bud. The bud worm pre
fers corn to tobacco so do not
substitute any other ingredient in
the bait for the com meal. One
.peck of corn meal and six heap
ing tableepoonsful of arsenate of
lead will make enough bait for
one acre of tobacco.
