ANP vmuuhpli Says Farm Lai Won't Curt Commissioner Of Agriculture Predicts That The Man On The Farm Will Meet Production Demands RALKIGH. ? W. Kerr Scott, Commissioner of Agriculture, rc' cently made the flat-footed asser> tion that the "technical" farm labor shortage in this State may not materially affect the production of many important crops this year. Declaring that farm statis! tics show definitely that the prices paid farmers for their products are more important than the supply of labor necessary to produce i them, Scott predicted that "the 1 man on the farm will meet the 1 unprecedented production demands this year." In explaining that the statistical shortage of farm labor in North Carolina will not affect production as seriously as figures ! tend to indicate, Scott pointed t out that the average farmer, unable to hire help, will resort to a greater use of his "ever-present labor supply ? his wife and chil| dren." This supply, he added, is not taken into consideration in determining the availability of farm labor. In proof of this statement. Commissioner Scott pointed to the fact that although there was another technical shortage of farm labor in 1924, figures show that more cotton, tobacco, lettuce, soybeans and cucumbers were produced in North Carolina during that year than in 1943, when mere was me greatest supply 01 I State. |!

In 1924 cottor jbrought over 22 cents per pound j bu in 1932 it was down to sever cents," Scott declared. In referring; to farm wages Scott said that figures coinpilec by the statistics division of th< State Department of Agriculture show that on April 1 farm workI ers in North Carolina were receiving $4-1.25 per month, without board, lie said that in 192C farm hands were paid $47.60 pel I month. While a year ago, the average 1 farm laborer in North Carolina received $1.60 when working b> the day, on April 1 he was receiving $2.20. The average for the nation is $2.88. On April 1, the state of Washington's $6.30 per day was the I highest farm wage in the Nation and South Carolina's $1.40 wai - the; lowest. The national farm wage rate oi $56.84 per month recorded foi March is the highest on record. But in July and August ol 1920, Scott said, farmers ir North Carolina paid as high as $7 per day for laborers in the tobacco fields. "The consumer no doubt feels in these days that he is paying too much for his food, but he J should see what the farniei actually receives for it when he : turns it over to the distributor,' ' said Scott. He added that "ir i America there will always be plenty of good, wholesome fooc for our tables if we will only paj the price necessary to produce it."

SHEEP STOMACH WORM! Stomach and intestinal worm i are serious handicaps to th | growing sheep industry of Norti i Carolina, but the pests can b controlled easily by the use of < \ phenothiazine-salt mixture, whicl j the sheep will cat, making indi | vidual treatments unnecessary Bays L. I. Case, Extension Ani i ma I Husbandman at N. C. Stat I College. , | In the past, growers have beei I giving each sheep individual treat : inent and this takes time. The nev : | method of mixing one part o powdered phenothiazine will j twelve parts of loose salt am . feeding it to the sheep is mucl I, easier. The mixture should b< placed in a salt box, which i; raised a few inches from til I ground, and tiie box should hi i - covered on three sides to protec r it from the weather. The shee] .; must have access to the mixture a t all times. If the sheep do not ea | it readily, a few handfuls of feei j can be added to the box. j Case said that good manageria : practices should not be neglect 1 cd. On account of the feed short '[age, annual grazing crops shouli be provided and this practice wil help to keep down stomach am intestinal worms. Where perman I ent pastures are used, the floel should l>e moved from one area ti 'j another as often as practical. '' In commenting on the case o ;jthe new treatment for interna | parasites, Case said that tin i j phenothiazine causes a red o ; brown discoloration of the urine : I which in turn discolors parts o jthe fleece to some extent. 'This i: :jof minor importance, however ' since the big job is to get ful i and complete control of stomacl : worms, so that the flock can givi 1 maximum production. r : GROWER SHOOTE THREE BARRELED Gl'N AT AXIS m : | \T??fU nn?/v1In< iy|)iuii ui wiiai nui in *^aiuuwc growers are doing to help wii the war, Raymond J. Elliott o Granville County is firing a threi ; barreled gun at the Axis ? eggs . poultry and pork. He also ha: plans for adding a fourth barre i to his gun. 1 County Agent' C. V.

State College Exten sion Service that Elliott had 801 r one-week old chicks, 710 4-weel ' i chicks, 760 six-week chicks, am 550 chicks about two months old 31 Not content with this, Elliott ha: -1 placed orders for two more ship - merits of 750 and 1,100 chicks t< i come at an early date. Also, hi 1 had 490 pedigreed laying hens or - j the firing line, bringing in largi s baskets of eggs every day. s In many sections of Nortl 1| Carolina, there is only about on< I brood sow to each ten to twent; M VALUE rising prices, despite ing merchandise, we icy of giving the higher the lowest possible t w v a r-% ^ m T/i BY & SUNS -Y, N. C. V LJTHPORT, N. C. families. Elliott wanted to make the swine barrel on his gun extra large, so he has put in six brood sows and is furnishing feeder pigs for neighboring farmers. Not content with his egg, poultry and pork ammunition, he secured some heifers, which he is developing into good dairy cows and soon they will start furnishing milk for the milk route that runs by his farm. County Agent Morgan said that all Granville County farmers are enthusiastic in the production of more food and feed crops this year, and that he was sure that this section would exceed the war goals requested. He is urging Granville farmers to grow an increase acreage of the leguminous crops that bring good hays and the oil bearing crops for plenty of protein meals. DAIRYMEN URGED TO GROW MORE PROTEINS Since protein feeds are short and the outlook for an adequate supply over the next twelve months period is far from encouraging, J| A. Arey, in charge of Dairy Extension at N. C. State Pnllnrrn nr n*n o oil floinrmnn f n vuiivgt, uigto an uau jiuni iu conserve the proteins now on hand and to make every effort possible to grow an increased supply. When the pasture is lush, it carries high protein, and very little additional protein in needed in the grain mixture. The same is true for good leafy, well-cured, legume hay, but this type of hay is often had to get. To fill in the feeding gaps dur- 1 ing the summer, Arey suggests Sudan grass, soybeans and lespedeza. By the middle of July, 1 grazing in the permanent pasture 1 3 content has dropped considerably 3 is usually short and its protein e below the June level. Unless this I a condition is offset by some good, e supplemental grazing, or other a protein feed, which will be ' i mighty hard to get, a serious drop - in the milk flow will take place. Good permanent pastures, plus - an adequate supply of supplementc a! grazing crops, can provide a large part of the protein needed i for commercial milk production . during the summer, according to y Arey, and he urges every dairyf man to seriously consider the i present protein shortage and make i I plans now for growing additional i acreage of high producing protein 1 e crops. Otherwise, some dairymen i s will find it necessary to feed 1 c short rations. e In saving hay for next winter's i t feed supply, Arey pointed out [> that most dairymen and farmers t can save much better hay than 1 t they do, by cutting it at the right 1 time and giving it the care and ; ; Sure it's fun to Chat!: ^ j|S ; But?-Sacrificing Non-Essential Cads Helps i Clear Lines for Vita! War Calls 1 You bet it's pleasant to talk with friends over the telephone, just as it was pleasant to take those long Sunday afternoon rides when we had plenty of tires and gasoline. 8ut social calls must be handled over the same local telephone facilities as war calls. There is a definite limit to the numher of calls these facilities 1 can handle at the same time, a ' and when more calls are made, some must wait. With telephone equipment already burdened with war calls, t non-essential calls may delay necessary calls, so we are requesting your voluntary cooperation to reduce unnecessary calling. Under normal conditions we would expand our facilities to care for the increased volume of calls, but we cannot do that now because the needed materials are going into war weapons. So won't you help by making fewer local calls? And when you must make a call, won't you please try to make it as short as possible?
