Timely Topics For The Farm H. K. SANDERS, COUNTY AGENT w - - ll ? . ? ? ? Anson Farm Women Sell Home Produce A high quality of produce and direct inspections by the prospec tive buyers is attributed to a suc cessful marketing program of An son county that has brought farm women an aggregate of over $30,000 annually during the past six years. Beginning with 15 families, mar keting in Anson county has been so emphasized that there are now 301 families; taking part in the county-wide effort to sell high class poultry and other produce. "Women of this county have set a high ideal of standards that has brought them increased customers among the leading hotels, cafes, col leges, cafeterias and other urban agencies," Mrs. Rosalind Redfearn, home agent, says. Five methods of maintaining stan dards are set by MrS. Redfeam for j the marketing of Anson farm pro ducts: 1. Personal contact with the pro ducer through visits to the farm, and through meetings at which in structions are given in methods of management, especially as it re lates to poultry. Feeding .fatten ing for market, dressing and pack ing are stressed with methods of housing, brooding and culling. 2. Standards are maintained by personal supervision of filling the j orders, packing and shipping. 3. Effort is made to furnish the type of produce desired by the purchaser. 4. Visits bv the prospective buy er to the farm where produce IS brought for sale is encouraged. 5. By personal visits to buyers, their criticisms and commendations are sought and the Anson produc ers make adjustments of discrepan cies arising. One of the most marked results of the program has been ah in crease of poultry production^ be- j tween 60 and 70 per cent. Better' methods of feeding and poultry management have been profitably added. Over the past six years. Anson county farm women have marketed $180,133 in surplus produce or an average of $30,022 a year. IV? J Two New Bulletins Available to Farmers Two new bulletins, "A Study of North Carolina Dairies" and "Sani- i tation as a Method of Controlling Stomach Worms in Lambs" are ready for distribution by the Agri cultural Experiment Station of North Carolina State College. Prof. R. H. Rogers, associate ag ricultural economist of the college and author of bulletin 288. "A Study of North Carolina Dairies,"] points out that it is possible to conduct a dairy profitably in this! State. Economical feeding and the use of labor are discussed at length. | Total costs and comparative tables are given in the bulletin. "Sanitation as a Method of Con trolling Stomach Worms in Lambs," bulletin 287, is written by Profs. Earl H. Hostetler and John E. Fos ter, of the State College animal husbandry division. The work was conducted on the State Experiment I Station farms. The authors concluded that: If lambs are permitted to graze, on permanent pasture, that is in- j fested with stomach worms, throughout the growing season In the Piedmont region a large per cent will die if not drenched reg ularly. Table illustrates this study. Ewes that had access to winter grazing, Abruzzi rye and crimson clover, maintained their weight dur ing the lambing and nursing per iods while those kept on permanent ! pasture ,or In dry lots showed a slight loss In weight. It is unnecessary to drench lambs that were grazed on permanent pature, before June 1. However, from June 1 to November 1, regu lar drenching is imperative. The use of temporary pastures IS equivalent to drenching every 14 days, and systematic use of tem porary pastures Is a feasable me thod of decreasing tomach worm and other Intestinal parasitic infes-v tation with the normal growth and gains of lambs. Probably the most practical me thod of stomach worm control is a change of pasture as often as possible supplemented with drench ing when conditions show this to be necessary. DR.

Keep Garden Going For Fall Vegetable* Most garden crops must be plant ed by the Second or third week in August if they are to mature suf ficiently for food before frost in the eastern and central parts of North Carolina. "There is an old adage of take a vacation yourself but do not give the garden one," says E. B. Mor row, extension horticulturist at State College. "There are a num ber of standard crops which migHt be planted now to provide fall veg etables and where the spring gar den was hurt by dry weather it would be wise to make planting as early as possible. A good fall gar den is always possible in this State and should be planted." Among the crops recommended by Morrow, snap beans have first place. They should b e planted every three weeks up to within 60 days of the date of the first kill ing frost. This means that beans may be planted as late as Septem ber first in some parts of the State. Beets prefer cool weather but may be seeded in August. The Ear ly Wonder and Crosby's Egyptian are two varieties which will mature ten days earlier than most of the others. The Copenhagen Market and Jer sey Wakefield are two early varie ties of cabbage which may be set with reasonable assure of a crop even at this late date. The cabbage must be grown rapidly, however, with applications of nitrate of soda given to promote growth. Cabbage worqis cause trouble at this season and may be controlled by calicum OLD GOLD WANTED! 4 Highest price paid for rid gold.

Benefits Farmers Adoption of the general sales tax has been fortunate for North Car olina's farm population. "The general objection to the general sales tax is that a greater proportion of the income of the poorer classes must be absorbed in the tax than is true for the more wealthy class .even though the weal thy class buys more as individuals," said Joe E. Hull, North Carolina State College assistant in farm management research. n "However, this objection is taken care of in the exemption of the basic food commodities as these ar ticles compose the greater bulk of purchases made by the poorer class es and today the agricultural popu lation might be so classed," he as serted. Basic commodities exempted are, wheat, flour, corn meal, fresh meat, lard, sorghum molasses, salt, sugar and coffee. The sales tax does not apply to the sale of products from farms, forests, or mines when such sales are made by those who helped in the production of such products In their original state or condition ing their preparation for sale, but the tax does apply to the resale of such products. Commercial fer tilizer is also exempt ? an inspection tax is already paid. "The expense of a general sales tax in this State, agriculturally, is much less than if the ad valorem tax had been increased." Hull said. "North Carolina's population is about 70 per cent rural, therefore hut as a whole. This enactment was ricultural class not only as farmers, but as a hole. This enactment was sponsored as a means of providing more revenue for the public schools, and with the large percentage of rural population ,it is readily seen that the agricultuarl children will receive greatest benefit from the tax." He said the general sales tax is a fair tax. being more burdensome on those who can better afford to bear it, as well as being especially favorable to the one class of peo ple most in need of its benefits ? the farmer. o Plans Are Made For Wheat Campaign Machinery Is being oiled at State College for the' launching of a wheat reduction program affecting 23 important producing countie^ in North Carolina. Dean I. O. Schaub, Director of the College Agricultural Extension Service has assigned J. W. Good man, district agent, to take charge of the drive with headquarters to be at Salisbury. Meanwhile, he said, an intensive educational program will be set in motion to familiarize growers -with the importonce of the reduction plan but no definite date has been ^et for th? campaign's beginning in this State. The adjustment program Stipu N-I-R-A Brings Luck Here ia Nira, her full name being Nira Collins of Upper Darby, Pa.

Cameron Mor rison's grand-scale farm near Char lotte is flying the NRA colors. "Of course we are running a farm and we were not required to adopt the hours; prescribed for Industry," said the former governor and sena tor, "but we adopted the new hours because we thought it was right to do so and because we wanted to." So at the Morrison farm visitor^ And the hired men quitting about 5 o'clock In the afternoon Instead of the proverbial sunset. The 500 hogs, the 6,000 chickens, the 500 guineas and the 500 turkeys and geede and pheasants and deer will have to receive most of their attention ? long before sundown. Morrison has ruled the farm is to be run like an Industry, not from sunrise to sunset. The former sena tor and governor believes there is a time to work, a time to play and a time to enjoy the companionship of others and that every man has a right to enjoy these things wheth er he is working in a big industry or on a big farm. He described the NRA program as "one right idea" that should work and do great things for the working man. o The recent rains in southeastern North -Carolina have vastly, impmv ed gardens and the corn crops. Litter on the forest floor blunts the teeth of erosion, helps to build up the fertility of the land, and is an argument against allowing fires to escape into the woodland.
