SIGNING AAA Here is a farmer doing what thousands of other farmers have done during the past few weeks, signing his AAA Farm Plan for 1940. There are still many fanners in the state who have not worked out . their Farm Plan, which is essential before any Government payments can be received for agricultural conservation and soil building work this year. E. Y.Floyd, AAA executive Officer of N. C. State College, announces that April 15 is the deadline for signing Farm Plans. There is nothing binding about the Farm Plan. If something happens to prevent carrying out the practices listed, then a fanner can still earn his payments by carrying out other practices named on the back pf the Farm Plan. However, Floyd said that every farmer who has not done so should immediately visit .his county AAA office and work out a plan. There will be no extension of time beyond April 15. The farmers in the above picture are; left to right :. Claude C. Falls of Fall ston, George Wolf of VVaco, and Mike L. Borders, member of the Cleveland County AAA Committee. '' ; " ' . - . ' ' 1 Power Co. Buys Modern Truck For Line Crew Use Early this year the Nantahala Power and . Light company pur chased for use by its line construc tion and maintenance crew, a new and. completely modern truck. The truck includes many new features for the convenience, safety and comfort of the crew, as well as complete provisions to properly handle the work of building and maintaining lines. The most inter esting feature is a special cab or compartment in the body of the truck, where members of the crew can ride in comfort. The cab, which, as well as the main cab, can be heated in cold weather, is espec ially welcome, as it is often nec essary for the crew to ride many miles in bad weather in the course of work in providing and maintain ing service for the customers of the company. The entire body is built of metal, strongly reenforced, for maximum safety and durability. The truck carries a water cask for drinking water. The large spot light on the truck cab, which can be pointed in any direction, and throws a bright beam for several hundred yards, is very useful for emergency work at night if it is ever necessary to restore service during or after a storm. The truck carries a complete derrick, which allows heavy poles to be set quickly and with a min imum of effort. This derrick ' is normally dismantled, and the parts carried in the upper left-hand sec tion of the body, but only a few minutes'' time is required to as semble and erect the derrick for use. A powerful winch in the truck chassis, driven by the truck motor, operates the steel cable which ' is used in connection with the derrick. In addition to setting poles, the derrick has been found very useful in handling heavy transformers, reels of cable, and other heavy equipment The truck has a large amount of space for carrying all the tools and equipment necessary for line work. All of the ropes and tackles are protected from the weather. ' The line crew makes its head quarters in Franklin, but works over the entire system of lines of the company, which extend for miles in every direction from franklin. The company. lines cover THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND Company Buys New Truck FARM PLAN ram a considerable portion of s Macon county, and extend into the upper portion of . Jackson county, to Cashiers Valley and towards Lake Toxaway. In another direction they extend to Sylva, Cullowhee and East LaPorte. In the Andrews area, the lines extend nearly to Murphy, and to Topton. The main transmission lines of the company extend from Santeetlah power house, near Tapoco to Fontana, and - to Robbinsville, Nantahala, West's Mill and Sylva. Several members of the crew hape been with the company for many years. The foreman, Henry Turpin, first worked for the line department of the company in 1929, and was made foreman in 1931. Henry Reed first worked for the company on its line crew in 1930, and C. E. McFalls entered the line department in 1931, although he had previously worked with the com pany in 1929. Messrs Turpin, Mc Falls and Reed had headquarters in Andrews until January, 1935, when they moved to Franklin, after the company acquired the Franklin system. Eb Bullock started work in 1933 in Franklin soon after the company acquired the Franklin system, and in addition to occas- sionally helping with line work, acts as a power house operator and as service man. Fred Grant joined the crew in 1934. James Cunningham started work early in 1939, . while John Waldroop started a little later in 1939. The . most recent addition to the crew is Henry V3kie, who started work early this year. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Is it too late to seed pastures? A. The best dates for seeding in the spring is from February 15 to April 1. Carpet grass, dallis grass and lespedeia should be seeded during this period and may be sown on top of other grasses and clovers planted the previous fall. Bermuda grass seed is rarely used in this state, but if the seed is used, they should be planted in May or June. Cuttings from this crop are usually set out in Feb ruary or March. Q. What is the best control for tobacco bud wrmi ? THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN A. The poisoned corn meal bait is the best known control. This is made by carefully mixing one pound of arsenate of lead with 50 pounds of corn meal. Applications of this poison should be made early in the morning when the bud is open. A small pinch of the mixture should be dropped in the center of the bud.. Applications should be made every week or 10 days until the plants are ' topped. One peck of the mixture will' be sufficient to cover one acre of tobacco. Q. Vhen should culling be start ed in the poultry flock? A. For best results, culling should be a continuous process, but in the young flock the birds should be culled when eight to twelve weeks old. This is especially true when cockerels are to be raised for breeders. All through the grow ing period the birds should be carefully watched and all cockerels or pullets showing lack of vigor and development should be dis carded. Select only those birds that are alert, vigorous, and show a healthful development Dim your lights when meeting another car. Glaring headlights sometimes make glaring headlines.

R: Nis-wonger, horticulturist of the State college extension 'service, says, every member of a farm fam ilv should not only eat the prover bial "apple a day to keep the loctor away," but also should have a fruit budget for the year. He recommends 12 poutulss of dried fruit, 24 quarts .; of canned fruits, anil five pints of jelly for each member of the family. To help farm people fill their fruit ; budgets, the horticulturist makes the following suggestions about cultivation and fertilization: Spray your apple and peach trees in order to have fruit comparative ly free from worms and rot dis eases. Fertilize bearing grape vines with one to two pounds of a 5-7-5 com mercial fertilizer per vine. Stable or chicken manure is jalso good. Do not apply fertilizer or manure close to the vine. Thin out the. bearing raspberry rows so that the remaining canes will be three to every foot of row. Fertilize the raspberries which are bearing with manure or two pounds of nitrate of soda per 100-foot row. . Newly set grape vines, raspberry, and dewberry plants should be fer tilized with manure or one table spoonful of nitrate of soda per plant. Apply in a ring at a dis tance of one foot from the plant. Cut each grape vine and berry plant to a few inches above the ground, leaving several buds. Care should be exercised in hoe ing young raspberry plant's so as not to cut off the new shoots that develop from the roots at the base of the plants. A garden weeder is better than a hoe to pulverize the soil around the base of the plants. R. S. JONES Chairman Macon County Board of Elections.
