C., but for the past several years has made -her home in Brevard. Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner left im nu’diatcy after the ceremony for a short hencymoon trip in northern noints, after which they will make .heir home in Akron, Ohio. CORN-HOG CONTRACT ON BUSINESS BASIS, The corn-hog adjustment contract may be regarded as a simple bus iness deal between the farm and the Secretary of Agriculture, it is point ed out by W. W. Shay, swine exten sion specialist at State College. The contracting producer agrees under the contract to make a definite reduction for 1934 of 20 percent in his corn acreage and twenty-five piuvnt in his hog production for market. He also agrees to abide by ether sections of tho contract, such., a- -fCgfilatTon of the use of contra- f ed acres. j Th< Secretary of Agriculture is bligated under the contract to make certain payments to the pro ducer for fulfilling the contract terms. For each acre of land ottered j by producers and accepted for con tract, the Secretary will pay in one or mere installments a total of 30 cents per bushel on the estimated yield of corn from the -conti acted acres. The Secretary obligates him :elf to pay 15 cents per bushel more, ioss tlie producer’s pro rata share oi local administrative expenses, on or after November 15, 1934, upon such' proof of compliance with the con tract as may be required. j The Secretary also agrees under the contract to pay the producer a total cf $5 per head on 75 percent of the annual average number oi hogs produced for market by the. producer from 1932 and 1933 litters. Of this amount, $2 will be paid ; as soon as practicable after the con- j tract is accepted. The remainder, less the producer’s pro rata share of local adminisrtative expenses, will be paid in two installments, the j first on or about November 15. 1934. and the final payment on or about February 1, 1935. i k ... A premium on hogs anu a rental ■ payment for corn land taken out of | production in 1934 is offered North i Carolina farmers along with those ot | the middle west. i “I would suggest that farmers of j North Carolina who are growing either ccrn or hogs for commercial ourpose to make pfan= to sign a corn hog reduction contract, es pecially where they are also signing either the tobacco or cotton con tracts for 1934,” says W. W. Shay, swine extension specialist at State College. “The Agricultural Adjust ment Administration is attempting to reduce the production of corn and hogs with the view of increasing the prices of the two commodities. Therefore the AAA will pay rent for corn land according to its fertility and will pay a premium on hogs if the growers will reduce the number of pigs farroed and sold.” Shay offers to give any corn-hog farmer definite information about h< w the plan is to be worked if the matter is tak>n up with him early enough for the movement to get started in this State. , To obtain benefits under the corn plan, for instance, Shay says the grower must agree to reduce his rn acreage by 20 percent under the average of 1932 and 1933. He nay then collect at the rate of 30 ’mts a bushel for the corn which "his rented land was capable of pro | lacing. Thus, if a man grew an average of 100 acres of'corn in 1932 and 1933 and reduced this amount to 80 in 1934, he may collect a ren tal payment for the 20 acres on the basis of what the land had pro duced. If the land had produced 40 bushels to the acre, the rental for the 20 acres would amount to $240—a very good rental new battleships CALLED FOR IN BILL Airplane* Waflk Added To Defame Force* of the United States WASHINGTON, Jan. 3fr-T he house voted today a naval strength which far surpassed, the cold statis tics of the bill. It debateo, passed and sc-nt to the senate the Vinson treaty navy bil culling for 102 new fighting ships to bring the numerical strength o the United States navy up to 24C ships by 1939, but behind those stn tistic? v as a fighting strength vast iy augmented by the impiovrment in warfare design since the days o 1919. Ticrremlous cruiFing rarg».\ iiign: speed, longer, more accural' rner° *1 sadly gunfire and keener me chauical eyes of scouting units have been designed for the navy .‘■".nee the World war ended and naval treaties trimmed fleets. Numerically, the number of fight ing ships when the navy reaches its treaty strength will be less than half that of the navy in the fall of 1919, 240 compared with 559 ships then listed a* "fit for service.” The in crease in effectiveness i? another story. Navy officials decline for < bvious reasons to discuss the speed and cruising range of the new ships, either on the ways or to bo put there under the Vinson treaty measure. Generally, it is understood, the speed has been increased in a _pro portion less than that of the cruising range. Th* substitution of oil for coal as fuel is the answer for the increased cruising radius. In this broadened cruising range of United States ships is found a partial answer to one of the naval strategy problems—lack of naval bases except in the remote Pacific. The new ships have “blister ’ hull construction, double hulls with oil to take up the concussion of under water explosions that ordinarily crumple plates. In the air, the treaty navy will •vth augment it* cfferac and do .’«we, build * third aircraft carrier "o float a new swam of planes and, on the defensive side, equip iiaoU ; with anti-craft Isrge caliber Slid machine guns of new dettffn ana highly improved accuracy. The two aircraft carriers now pos sessed by the navy are the remains of one of the naval men’s pet types of fighting ship*. The United. States possessed, either under construction or in operation,, a half dor.en of these ships at, the1 close of the war. The Washington] naval treaty sent four battle cru,»ers to.the scrap heap; two were saved1 for conversion into the present car-] ! t iers Lexington and Saratoga. The battle cruisers, a hybrid craft, had the stength of a battle. ship and the flcetres.; of a cruiser.] More than ten years ago the-c- 43,-. j 500 ton fighters developed better j j than 33 knets an hour and fpeed] has been boosted since. The treaty | navy biil provides for no battle | cruisers. _ , ! i h ! 1919 figures lor naval | strength included several types ov v v‘:els in addition to battle ships and battle cruisers—capital ships— which were not included in tlie pro pos'd Vins n treaty navy, sub chasers, patrol vessels and gun boats. Many of the original craft, however, are still in operation. The 1,184 airplanes the Vinson! bill would add to the fleet would bo J radically different craft from these* that spotted the enemy and on oc casions attacked his ships in World war days. Th? regular equipment of the large r fighting ships with one or more planes for scouting pur poses has come into general naval usage by the navies of the world since that time. Don’t pay too much for your money. Ellerbe Springs has been purchas ed as a community center for Rich mond County. The springs feed in to a five-acre lake, says, the farm agent. Alert farmers are demanding that dolomitic limestone be used in their fertilisers this spring in lieu of inert sand and other filler, according to recent reports.
