WWAOCO SIGN-UP CAMPAIGN
STARTS SOON—CALLS FOB
THIRTY PER CENT REDUC
TION.
Plans for a tobacco
campaign were announced yester
day. It is believed that ninety
per cent of the growers iui the
State will sign up in short ordei
their planted acreage to seventy
per cent of their base. The print
ing presses are already going,
grinding out the application
forms on which farmers wil
have the opportunity at an early
date to sign their names and ii
this way to become members o.
their respective county and state
organizations through which to
control production of this basic
crop and to inaugurate a soii
conservation and improvement
system for which the government
will make liberal payments to a!)
who co-operate in the plan. All
growers are asked to reduce thei
plantings to seventy per cent o
their base acreage as it was un-
Jer the AAA. Special attention
is directed to the large surplus
of tobacco already on nand and
the urgent need for holding down
production this year, if a living
price is to be had.
Drawers to Get Pay For Plant
lag Soil Building (Crops.
Growers in addition to reducing
their acreages in basic crops such
as tobacco, cotton, peanuts, etc.,
under the control plan are asked
to plant at least twenty per cent
>r one-fifth as much land in soil
building crops as they do in soil
lepleting crops. For instance a
'armer who has four acres of to
»cco, ten acres of corn, and sue
icres of wheat or a total of twen
:y acres in soil depleting cropj,
vhich need four acres in soil
milding crops. But suppose in-
itead of planting four acres of
slover or leapedeza or grasses, he
ihould put in ten acres of these
oil building crops; in such an
nstance, this farmer would re
eive extra pay on all the acre
age so used over one-third of his
wenty acres.

by hatcheries which use nothing
flocks.
Parrish calls attention to th?
fact that pullets of the Leghorn
breed may be expected undr-r
good management to begin lay
ing when these are 180 day s old.
and that those of heavier breeds,
such as Barred and White Rocks.
Reds, New Hampshire, Wyan
dottes and Black Giants start at
about 210 days of age. Thir
means that if the pullets are t o
start laying in October the chicks
of the heavier breeds should b
hatched in March or early ilt
April and that Leghorns hatched
«n April are about as late as on
can depend upon to produce high
priced eggs.
Parrish called attention to the
need for more poultry on the
average farm. He also emphas
ized the importance of holding
Poultry production down to
where it will be in keeping with
the supply of home grown feed
and also in keeping with the time
available to properly care for the
flock.
He says some of the best work
done in the state with poultry i?
that carried on by 4-H club boys
and girls There is some excel
lent poultry work going on i a
Stokes county but great need fo.-
increasing this to where the
average farm flock will be larger,
better cared fo r and more profit
able, according to Parrish.

The Importance of Knowing
Your OHO Mind
SOME years ago the personnel
director of one of the country's
largest business organizations re
marked that in his experience one
of the rarest of human individuals is
the young man about to enter busi
ness who possesses a fairly definite
idea cf what he wants to do and his
qualifications for doing it.
To be uncertain in your own mind
about what v-ij •want to do when
you are applying for a job is a seri
ous enough handicap, but the handi
cap is far more serious if the uncer
tainty continues tor months or years
after you have landed the job. Yet
this uncertainty does continue to
exist in the minds of great numbers
of men and is a factor largely re
sponsible for the lack of success of
those who spend their entire liv«?s
drifting from one job to another,
never earning more than a bare liv
ing in any of them.
In nearly every business the pe
riod of apprenticeship is likely to
be more or less boring and is rarely
highly remunerative. But this period
can be invaluable to the beginner if
he uses it to study the workings of
the business in all its phases, and
to make up his mind in which of
these phases—accounting, research,
selling, general administration, etc.
—he is most interested and beat
qualified to succeed.
The business leaders of tomorrow
will be the young men who today are
using their apprenticeship to dis
cover where their interests and ap
titudes lie, who are developing a def
inite purpose to chart their careers
accordingly, and who by observa
tion, reading and study are equip
ping themselves to attain their goal.
