THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 61. Federal Insurance To Give Tobacco Protection in 'sl Wake County farmers are urged to take advantage of Federal Crop Insurance offered through the Wake PMA which protects the money and labor that producers invest in crop production against losses beyond their control. Closing date for filing applica tions for Federal Crop Insurance on tobacco is April 30. Th FCIC Program is the only protection of its kind to farmers. It is backed by the Federal Gov ernment in order to meet a need that has existed and has been rec ognized since farming began. This insurance protects the farmer’s investment from the time the tobacco is planted in the field and continues through the prepar ation for marketing which is a protection against probable loss from essentially all production hazards. It covers loss of production of tobacco due to causes such as drought, flood, wind, frost, winter kill, lightning, excessive rain, snow, wildlife, hurricane, tornado, insect infestation and plant di sease. The coverage rate is $271 per acre at a premium cost of SB.IO per acre. Any landlord, owner-operator, tenant, or sharecropper may file an application to insure his in terest in the tobacco crop which covers his entire interest in all tobacco grown in Wake County. Each individual must apply for insurance in order for his share in the crop to be insured. The policy is continued from year to year unless an official request for cancellation is filed with the Wake County PMA Com mittee. During each year a 30- day period is designated as can celation date for any producer who wishes to cancel his insurance. This cancelation period is usually during the month of March. Any producer who carries Fed eral Crop Insurance on his invest ment in the 1951 tobacco crop who wishes to pay his premium on or before July 31 will get a 5 percent discount. However, all premiums paid before January 1, 1952, car ry no interest, and Wake County farmers will be able to pay their premiums during the marketing season without any interest. It Is felt that with Federal Crop Insurance on tobacco the tobacco farmer will be protected in his tobacco crop by 1) Federal Crop Insurance on his investment, 2) price support through Flu-cured Stabilization Corporation, and 3) stability of prices through mar keting quota.

Zebulon, N. C., Tuesday, April 17, 1951 WAKE FOREST COLLEGE CHOIR HERE Feeder Bulletin Issued By Extension Service The State College Extension an nounces publication of a new fold er on breeding, feeding, and man aging beef cattle for greater re turns. The folder, entitled “Profits with a Cow-and-Calf Program,” was prepared by specialists of the college’s animal husbandry sec tion. It is issued as Extension Fol der No. 79, and single copies may be obtained free from the local county agent or by writing the Ag ricultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh. “North Carolina’s large acreage of open, idle land can be utilized with beef cattle and improved pas tures to increase the State’s farm income,” assert the specialists. They add that good pasture is the best and cheapest feed fcr live stock. Two acres of well-fertilized Ladino clover-grass pasture per cow, the specialists say, will pro vide the basic feed requirements, although about one ton of hay should be provided per cow for winter feed. In breeding, the beef cattle pro ducer should start with well-de veloped, healthy, blood-tested heif ers and should select low-set, thick, rapid-gaining purebred bulls. Fe males should be bred during the months of March, April, and May, for calves in December, January, and February.

Carolina Farmers Urged To Grow More Yams For Sale During 1951 Sweet potatoes are expected to be a profitable crop for North Car olina farmers in 1951, asserts George S. Abshier, extension mar keting specialist at State College. Because of increased consumer demand and reduced acreage, this year’s crop should bring good prices, he beLeves. Abshier explains that the great ly expanded cotton acreage and increased tobacco allotments will out deeply into sweet potato acre age this year. He says the decrease will be particularly noticeable here in the South. “In view of the expected strong demand and short supply,” says Abshier, “North Carolina farm ers should find sweet potatoes a very profitable enterprise this year.” The demand for the Porto Rico variety is expected to be par ticularly strong. Cultivation Urged Farmers who have enough land and sufficient labor are urged to grow as many sweet potatoes as last year. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is recommending the same sweet potato acreage for 1951 as was advised for 1950. Crop specialists urge sweet po tato growers to plant good quality, disease-free seed and use recom mended cultural practices to insure receiving top prices. Careful har vesting, field grading and pack ing are also essential, they point out.
