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.

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.

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

Believes Sales Ta*?
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.

Plans Are Made For

Cameron Morrison
Flies NRA Colors
Adopts New Honrs On His Farm
Because He Thought It Kitht
Charlotte, Aug. 7. ? 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.
