Most of the intended decline is in hurley to are down slightly. Changes in bacco. Dark air-cured intentions other tobaccos are generally moderate and mostly slightly upward. If the acreages indicat ed are harvested, and yields should approximate the average of the past five years, total pro duction of about 2,000,000,000 pounds would be expected. The acreage of flue-cured to ibacco apparently will be little changed from 1946, averaging a bout one per cent up.

Harris, Landscape Spec ialist for the State College Ex tension Service, a thousand and one garden Jobs are demanding attention. It's a good time to start a num ber of annuals in the flower gar den, as well as to divide and re set the perennials. Gladiolus bulbs can be plant ad now, he says, but suggests that flower gardeners save some of the glad bulbs to plant dur ing May and June for late bloom. If you didn't take up your dahlias last fall, Mr. Harris says it will pay you to dig them now ind divide the roots for immedi ite re-setting. In dividing the :rown ? where the eyes or sprouts are usually found, make sure that each division has at east one eye and one good root. A root without an eye or sprout is worthless, he says. Dahlia roots should be planted n a horizontal position from four to seven inches deep, with the sye facing outward upward. Well rooted manure applied several weeks before planting time makes a good fertilizer. About i handful of garden fertilizer should be mixed with the soil at planting time if the soil is poor. When the plants are about twelve inches tall, topdress with a hand ful of fertilizer. Repeat this when the buds begin to swell and eve ry three or four weeks during the blooming season, until Sep tember 15 th. o Wilkes Scout District!

MHk Cash Receipts Will Remain H igh Raleigh.?Farm cash receipts from the sale of milk and other dariy products in 1947 probably will exceed any previous year ex* cept 1946, says the,Dairy Divis ion of the State Agriculture De partment. Prices received by farmers for milk and butterfat in the first half of 1947 will average higher than during the same period in 1946. However, prices have de clined more than seasonally from the peak prices of last fall, and at least seasonal declines are likely* to occur from March through June. Consumer expenditures for dairy products were abnormally high during the war and early post war periods. Now that other kinds of consumer goods are be coming available some spending is being diverted from dairy pro ducts. Demand for fluid milk, whole milk powder, and foreign-type cheese produced in the United States is expected to decline more than demand for other dairy pro ducts made from whole milk. The 1947 output of manufactur ed dairy products is likely to ex ceed 1946, with the major in crease occurring in butter pro duction. This increase will tend to reduce farm cash receipts from sales of dairy products slightly below 1946. A decrease from 1946 in sales of fluid milk and cream to consumers and indus trial users will be an important factor in raising the output of manufactured dairy products. Declines in fluid-milk prices are lagging behind declines in prices of manufactured dairy pro ducts. However, fluid-milk prices decreased substantially in Febru ary, and are expected to fall at least seasonally from March through June.
