1938 Farm Program
Ready for Growers -
North Carolina farmers who are
planning' to take part. in the Agri
cultural conservation program next
year are giving careful study to de
tails of the 1938 farm program.
The new program will be dif
ferent in many respects from pro
grams of past years, according to
E. Y. Floyd of State college, who
is AAA executive officer in North
Carolina.
it has already received the final
stamp of approval from Henry A.
Wallace, . secretary of agriculture.
Since it was first announced tenta
tively September 20, the 1938 pro
gram has undergone but few alter
ations. '
One of the principal changes has
been a decrease in , the Cotton goal
for the entire nation. This action
was proved by. the latest U. S.
crop forecast of approximately 17,
500,(X)0 bales. ' Previously, the esti
mates for 1937 had been placed at
16,000,000 bales.
When the .new program was first
announced in September, the latest
cotton forecast had not been com
pleted. When AAA officials learn
ed the Jint .crop was 1,500,000 bales
Larger than they had anticipated,
they went into a huddle and made
adjustments. The revised goal is
27,000,000 to 29,000,000 acres, about
2,000,000 acres belo'w the first an
nounced figure. x
Potato goals will also be included
in the 1938 program. More than 82
per cent of the growers in the com
mercial potato producing sections
favored acreage stabilization in a
referendum which wa9 concluded
during the first part of October,
. Payments will be based On the
number of acres planted, up to the
limit of a farm's goal. Maximum
payment can be earned by planting
the full goal, with deductions be
ing made for yields above or be
low the goal, . k .',.!..,

Demonstrates Against Japs
Cattle and Lambs
Bring High Prices
Prices for well-finished cattle
and lambs are likely to continut
near present levels for the nex
few months, according to L. I.
Case, beef cattle ad sheep special
ist for the State college extension
service. .
Prices farmers receive for hog
are expected to go down some a
they, usually do duripg the fall and
winter months. Bui even with thi
usual decline; hog ' prices are ex
pected to average at least as higi .
as a year ago..
Many , sections of North Carolina
produced a bumper crop of con
this year, Case said. Therefore, wit'
prospects for lower corn' prices and
a relatively high level of hog prices,
the corn-hog price ratio will bi
favorable for swine feeding and
production during the next few
months. ' . ,
The improved feed-grain situation
also points to an increase in tht
number of cattle and lambs ' fe
this year, the. extension specialist
declared, i
The outlook for sheep and lambs
has changed but little during tht
past month. Marketings will be
larger this fall than in the pasi
summer, but the effect of thesi
increased marketings on prices wil
be offset largely 4y an expectei
strong demand, for feeder lambs ii
the corn belt.
In mid-September cattle prices
reached the highest level in about
17' years because of the marked
shortage, of grain-fed cattle in the
slaughter supply, Case pointed out.
Prices of well-finished cattle are
expected to continue relatively
high, or at least until increased
supplies of grain-fed cattle become
available next winter and spring.
Rooting Plants
Now Simple Job
Recently discovered substances
called "auxins" are' proving a boon
to nurserymen and others interested
in prbpagating plants from cuttings,.
A. small amount of one of these
substances placed in the water in
which the cutting is partly im
mersed wil cause a vigorous mass
of roots to appear on the cutting,
says Dr. B. W. Wells, head of the
State college, botany department.
No demonstrated answer has been
given as to why these substances
have this strange power. Only the
ories have been advanced. One
leading idea is that the auxin in
creases, the., plasticity of the cell
walls making them again like young
walls, a condition which induces
the root-producing cells to enter
upon a new cycle of growth. Again
it may be the direct action on the
living substance of, the cells.
Tp nurserymen who in the past
have, experienced great difficulty
in the propagation of certain plants,
the new auxins seem like a mag
ical compound. When used, exces
sive root production is stimulated
in some of the most dormant or
resistant cuttings, Dr. Wells de
clares.' One of the most remarkable f ea
tures fit the . procedure is . that of
the extremely small amount of the
auxin necessary to perform this
modern" miracle. A thimble full of
the commercial liquid containing the
auxin has in it only 20 milligrams
of the stimulator. This is but a
fraction of a pin head in volume.
Yet in preparing the solution for
uttings, this thimbleful must be
liluted with a pint of water. How
ever, this infinitesimal amount is
.nough to produce the roots, Dr.
Wells says.
Most fruit trees, potted plants,
hrubs, and ornamental trees re
pond readily to these auxins.
