LEAF GROWERS GET PRELIMINARY CARDS The authorization of preliminary marketing: cards has solved a prob lem which has been worrying the entire tobacco industry. Despite the speed at which coun ty agents and committeemen have been working to announce individ ual poundage allotments, the open ing of Border Belt markets came before the job was completed. Realizing the necessity of aiding those growers who planned to sell their tobacco early, the AAA is sued instructions authorizing the use of preliminary marketing cards. Producers who grew tobacco pri or to 1938 may be issued these pre liminary cards up to as much as 400 pounds to the acre on their planted acres or their allotted acres whichever is smaller. New growers—those on whose farms tobacco is being produced this year for the first time since 1933—may be issued the cards up to 300 pounds per acre on their planted acres or their allotted acres, whichever is smaller. Some delay has been encounU red in announcing final individual ( uo tas as many farmers have failed to file information on their farms necessary in determining allot ments. Included in this prerequisite are past production, the heads of tenant families, and the number of curing barns. The issuance of preliminary marketing cards will not be confin ed to any one belt. Any farmer whose allotment has not been re leased by the time he wishes to sell his tobacco may make application for one of the preliminary cards. HYBRID CORN The North Carolina Experiment Station is now conducting some im portant and valuable research with hybrid corn and indications are that the hybrids will outyield or dinary varieties by 10 to 20 percent but the hybrid does not reproduce its kind. New hybrid seed must be produced or purchased for seed seed purposes. TO SELECT THE GOOD HENS The good hen has a comb that is waxy, full of blood, red in color and pliable. She is in good health, active, alert, and in fair flesh con dition and in most cases, free of disease. Her eyes are prominent, bright and full of light.

BEAUTIFYING HOME GROUND The State College Extension Ser vice has just printed three folders, numbers 40, 41 and 42 on the sub ject of beautifying home grounds.

Either or all three of the publica tions may be had free of charge by citizens of North Carolina on ap plication to the agricultural editor at State College. The total jail population of North Carolina in 84 units was 6,- 888 on May 31, 1938. THE ZEBULON RECORD. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY, AUGUST FIFTH, 1938.
