It had its first perortr.ar.ee under Government austces on the upper East Side of New fork a feu days ago. L'ncle Tom's Cabin has been pived by so many different compos. tent shows, wagon shows, iosr shows and railroad shows, that J -rammers" are a distinct class m lie world of the theatre. I looked into the subject some years ago and found then more than 160 different companies presenting this ancient pay in different parts of the county at one time It is almost actor jrooi: the story and sentiment swops the audience no matter how yty it is played. Ta grandson ol Harriet Beeclier Stcie, from whose anti-slavery toi:he play was taken, is one of s ay country neighbors.

Thousands of farms over the state e are well situated to take advantage c [of the possibilities now awaiting de- i velopment, he said, and the time is e coming when these farms will be ? equipped with efficient and eco- r nomical electrical appliances.

Still more power can be obained by the development of hydro ilectric plants along the many treams in the Piedmont area.

When a sufficient number agree to Install i electricity, negotiations can be made with the local power systems for extending transmission lines. Mr. Weaver is making a special study of rural electrification possibilities in North Carolina, and is willing to offer suggestions to any group of farmers who communicate with him. He hopes to soon have an investrgator available for every two or three counties to go into the field and help the farmers plan for the obtaining of a transmission line and the installation of electrical appliances. Farm Questions And Answers Question: What is the amount of the tax on tobacco to be paid by non-cooperating growers this year? A ncnror TJiq QoomforTT nf A rrri _ AMiunvi . Aitv uuvivi/ui jr ui 11514- ^ culture has fixed the tax under the f Kerr-Smith Tobacco Act as 25 percent of the market value. Those who are cooperating in the tobacco ? adjustment plan will be. issued tax ' exempt warrants by which they may 1 sell their tobacco tax free while 1 non-cooperating growers must pay * the tax except they will be allotted { a certain amount of tax free weed. Those, who have not signed contracts ( have been given until July 28 to : sign a contract and thus come under the provisions of the AAA program. Question: Will it pay to use a cheaper mash feed now that prices for eggs have decreased? Answer:The cheapest mash is often the most expensive. It lowers the vitality of the birds ard also lowers egg production, rhe North Carolina Experiment Station has found that a hen laying 8 dozen eggs a year needs 10 pounds of feed to produce a dozen eggs. If this same hen laid 12 dozen egg3 a year, she needs only 7 pounds of feed to produce a dozen eggs. Question: When will the 4-H club short course be held at State College? Answer: The dates of the 4-h short course have been set for July 25 to 30. Club members arriving ut the college will have their first meal served at supper, July 25. L. R.

He says ibout 600 club members will attend Wheat Program To Continue Next Year The wheat adjustment program or the coming year will be coninued on the same basis as last rear, announces John W. Goodman >f State College, head of the AAA vheat program in North Carolina. The reduction under the averige acreage for the 1928-32 base jeriod will not be more than the 15 >er cent reduced last year, he said, [he parity payments will be made is before at the rate of 29 cents a mshel on the Individual grower's lomestic allotment. Due to the unpredictable changes hat may arise in the world wheat iituation, the exact amount of the eduction next year will not be flx>d until later. It is possible, GOodnan said, that the reduction will lot be as much as 15 per cent of he base acreage. The 1,102 North Carolina wheat growers who signed contracts last rear received $38,000 on their first jayment and $12,600 on the second jayment, bringing the total to over >50,000 for reducing their 22,387 irres hv 15 ner rent.

Measurers are being set to work on the 750,000 fields which are to be measured in North Carolina to determine whether the growers are complying with their adjustment contracts. To make sure the measurers are surveyors will be sent to check up on some of the fields thus measured. The fields will be selected at random, with a view of catching any possible errors in the first measuremSTfts. Every farmer will be asked to help in the measurement of his own field so that he can see that the work is being done satisfactorily.
