Negroes in these states, it was ex-: plained by Secretary Highainith, who made the list available.

Washington, Rocky Mount; I Federal Crop Plan Praised College Station, Raleigh, Sept.— "Every farmer in North Carolina ought to be interested in Federal Crop Insurance as it eliminates fail -1 ures and near failures from the ) farmer’s budget,’’ Kerr Scott, Com ! missioner of Agriculture, said here yesterday. | "It offers farmers an opportunity j to plan and plant with the hope of : a bumper crop, and with the com forting knowledge that, from the ) standpoint of returns, he can't have ip. real failure,” Scott declared. Tlie sales campaign for the winter jwheat crop is now being conducted throughout the State and each indi j vidual wheat grower will be offered protection against the unavoidable I hazards of growing this crop. Scott | pointed out that the program was designed, “not to provide a profit; for anyone but solely to protect the , farmer from loss or damage to his crop caused by unavoidable natural hazards." "It can and will serve the farmers as a sound and permanent protection if farmers of this State and other States give it their whole hearted cooperation," he added. i In answer to request from farm ers, Congress provided for operation !of the Federal Crop Insurance Pro . gram on this year's cotton and wheat crops and for trial insurance : on a number of crops, including to ; bacco. corn, and potatoes, (tobacco ■in North Carolina). If these pro [ grams meet with sufficient success. 1 if is logical to assume that the in isurance program eventually will be ! extended to other farm products. Applications are available to every wheat farmer in the State through [ his County AAA Office. The dead line for making applications is Sept j ember 29. or the individual farmer’s ; , seeding date, if this is earlier. |Price, Salisbury; Palmer Memorial I Institute.

Then, and ( usually only then, does the farmer know how his pile has fared. After surveying the card, he can "turn the ticket"; i. e., turn it face down, half-tear or otherwise mutilate it, as a symbol of rejection. He can sell the same pile at a later auction without additional fees. The system fulfills its economic function when employes of the buy ers move in, wheel out the baskets j of tobacco, and take them to their redrying plants, where seasonal workers stem, clean and moisture condition it for packing in hogs- ! heads, where it ferments for lao. three or more years before being used.

Farmers in such years particularly dislike the “circuit-rider.” who represents man ufacturers, and who travels from market to market to Instruct their buyers. Visits of "circuit-riders" may be followed by violent fluctuations in prices, and, if the fluctuations! are downward, then the circuit rid er is damned.
