R. DUNNAGAN Raleigh, Dec. 11 A farm "plan and prosper" campaign, which in volves enlargement and readjustment of the "live at home" program, en abling North Carolina to conform to national requirements under the new agricultural economy, and including the home garden program and enlarg ed live-stock production, was propos ed by Governor Ehringhaus at the ' Edtiors "Annual Dinner in his hon or at State College Friday night. The plan embraces a four-fold ac tivity and full cooperation of sever al State departments as follows: (1) a complete and cheerful coopeiation with the Federal acreage reduction plan, particularly in the basic crops; (2) Individual farm production plan ning with particular reference to our retired and waste acres and in hai mony with our home and farm neces sities; (3) A real "home marketing ' activity to make easily available to home markets our home products; and (4) a real effort toward reduc tion of our fertilizer costs (a) thru an intensive study of our fertilizer necessities and the ways of lessen ing production costs, and more es pecially (b) throughan active stim ulation of livestock production. Pointing out that all efforts were toward greater production, Governor Ehringhaus said that when the eco nomic debacle came, farmers had sur pluses which could not be disposed of or consumed, an agricultureal chaos. He quoted from his announcement of candidacy in June, 1933, his program of "diligent enterprise towaid devel oping a practical plan for applying the principle of cooperation to the problem of productoin,' which Agri cultural Adjustment activity in Wash ington is trying to do in applying it to the national production problem. It is the inefficient farmer who makes toward the surplus problem, seeking to overcome his inefficiency by increased acreage and produces the surplus at a relatively higher cost. " We must concentrate our attention upon a 'permanent parity' and this can be accomplished only thi'ough cooperation with the Fed eral government in its acreage re duction efforts and such allocation activities as it may inaugurate in the future," Governor Ehringhaus said. Discussing the recent tobacco pari ty price achievement, which he es timates wil bring a $50,000,000 in crease in return to the farmers, he said: The farmers of North Carolina today are perhaps in better financial condition than those in any other section, by the simple application of the principle of cooperative produc tion through a planned agricultural effort." Saying the Federal crop reduction campaigns will retire from cultiva tion some 600,000 acres heretofore planted in cotton and tobacco alone, which forms a real problem, he point ed out that although Governor Gard ner's "live at home" p ogram result ed in greatly increased cod and feed crops, still these crops c .uld be in creased to support the citizenship and livestock, by acres, as follows: wheat, 554,000; corn, 790,00; oats, 484,000; hay, 150,000; pasture, 552, 000, a total of 2,230,000 acres. In the United States as a whole when the farmer gets $100 from crops, he gets another $100 from some form of animal production, but in North Carolina he gets only $25 from Livestock to $100 from crops, by which he asserts that to take care of the home needs alone, the live stock could be increased over pres ent figures to the following numbers: hogs, 360,000; beef cows, 110,000; dariy cows, 87,000; laying hens, 5, 400,000. To project and pusn a campaign for individual plannig in keeping with the needs and necessities of the State would be one of the greatest possible services to the State, he said, saying a practical and simple plan of budgeting the crop of the individual to r. :'.a own and the State's needs, in hari.iony with the Federal crop reduction campaign, has been worked out. Governor Ehringhaus suggested an intelligent plan of State assistance in connection with the marketing and distribution of the crops with partic ular reference to the home markets, and suggested development of trad ing centers, suggesting, for example, Boone for cabbage, Mr. Airy and Wilkesboro for turkey, Maxton for cotton, Asheville for beef cattle.

On Many Tobacco Farmers At Reduction Meeting About 200 people attended the to bacco signing meeting in Newport, mention of which was made in this newspaper last week. No one raised any objection to the contract and a bout 75 have signed up. Tenant farmers cannot sign the contracts as they apply only to landlords. There are around 180 tobacco growers in Carteret county and it is believed that the sign up will be nearly 100 per cent. County Farm Agent Hugh Over street asks the News to state that it is desired to get all who intend to sign up to do it by next Tuesday. The blank contracts can be had at the County Agent's office in Beaufort and they also may be had from W. Z. McCabe at Wildwood, S. D. Ed wards at Newport and Lionel Pele tier at Stella. According to the a; greement the farmers who sign will get $17.50 an acre for 30 per cent o fhis basic acreage payable in Feb ruary. In the fall he will also get from 12 1-2 to 25 per cent on his sales, according to the size of" his crop. The small grower gets a high er percentage than the larger ones. Those who do not sign contracts will not get any thing. Liquor Brings Many Into Police Court Pressure on the National Reemploy ment Service and the CWA for jobs in Carteret county, which has been very heavy for the past two weeks, shows signs of relaxing now. Byrd Wade, who has charge of the reem ployment service in the county, in formed a News representative that up to Wednesday at noon 2005 per sons had registered for jobs. The big rush seems about over but he thinks there will be several hundred more applicants for work yet. Of course it is impossible to supply all these people with work as only 539 jobs are allocated to the county. Private firms and individuals who wish to employ anybody for any sort of work can be supplied by his office so Mr. ' Wade says. At the office of Mrs Malcolm Lew- . is a considerable force of clerks are busy with not only their routine du ties but with the work of getting the CWA functioning properly in the county. Thep lace is besieged every day with those who want provisions joobs or both. Last week Mrs. Lewis had 405 men at work. The first pay ' roll amounting to $4558.19 was met last Sunday. The workers will be paid off for this week Saturday at . noon. They are paid by check by Miss Ella Davis the disbursing agent. The working hours for Isst week were 8323. Work is now in progress on 11 projects. About 45 new projects, not yet approved, have been submitted to the Ralegih headquarters which is also rushed with work. Fine head way is being made on the Fort Macon highway. Under the direction of En gineer Oxley 94 men are working there and have graded nearly a mil , of roadway. The yaupons and other pretty shrubs along the right " of way that are being dug up will be '. saved and transplanted. Under the direction of engineer Philip Ball 36 men have started on the drainage mosquito eradication work. Mrs. Lewis has been informed that the cost of this work will not be taken from her allotment but will come from a separate fund. On Monday she attended a meeting in Ralegih where representatives of fifty east ern counties were called to discuss various phases of the CWA work.
