Cash On Side
Afforded By
Popcorn Gropj
As the farmer sweats out the '
Winter period of bad weather
and Income taxes and begins j
to round out his 1946 crop pro
gram. popcorn has popped up
as a prospective source of
"cash on the side" from odd
spots of alnd, according to As- i
slstant County Agent V. L. Hun- |
eycutt of Albemarle.
, Many Stanley county farmers
have been growing "several"
acres of popcorn during the
past two years in meeting con
tract orders from a large seed
company, Huneycutt reports, in
dicating that contracts have
been renewed this year and
tabbing the crop as a "paying
enterprise".
, The average acre of North
Carolina farm land tiday is
wortn about $50 In the mark
et. M. L. Eflrd of Route 4,
Albemarle, netted an average of
$230 per acre for popcorn
grown in 1945, selling the crop
at an average of about 10 centi
per pound. Previously, Efird has
received 12 cents per pound. .
While the profit from an acre
of popcorn is not fabulous, the
growing of the crop is "very
little extra trouble," Huneycutt
says, requiring a minimum of
labor at a time when labor is
minimum.
The American appetite for
popcorn is always hardy and
demand , is expected to continue
strong throughiut the country.
Sun baths have been found to
be greatly beneficial to the
health and growth of calves,
according to specialists of the
State College Extension service.
Tree-ripened oranges and
grapefruit will reach the break
fast tables of America this year
with freshness and flavor of
fresh picking, due to gloev-tight
wrapping of plastic film devel
oped by industry.

To Farm Homemakers

White spots on varnished
furniture may be caused by
standing water, hot dishes or
alcohol, according to wood ex
perts and furnishings special
ists.
If the spots are slight, they
may be- removed simply by
rubbing with camphorated oil
or peppermint ? get 10c worth
at the drug store. Or they may
disappear when the surface of
the furniture is washed with a
mixture of 1 quart of warm
water; 3 tablespoons of boiled
linceed oil, and 1 tablespoon of
turpentine; then dried with a
soft dry cloth, and rubbed with
furniture polish.
For more severe white spots
a mixture that mav be used is
salt and salad oil. Dip the fing
er in oil, then in salt, and rub.
Repeat until the spot disap
pears. Don't rub too hard ? you
might remove the varnish.
A good tailor does not press
wool completely dry, for it
scorches very easily. Rather, he
lifts the wool garment from
the pressing board while the
last bit of steam is still rising
from it. Then he pats or beats
out that little whiff of steam
with his hand. This keeps the
wool from having a hard-press
ed look.
It is a good idea to be par
tic\lar about the cloths used
for pressing. When using new
material for this purpose, wash
and rinse it thoroughly so that
not a bit of starch or sizing re
mains. Keep the cloths clean al
ways and wash out every trace
of scorch, if by any chanee the
iron gets too hot, A scorched
cloth can discolor the garment
underneath.

Timely Farm Questions
Q. What are the prospects for
getting new farm machinery
this year?
A. Not too bright. The actual
production of new farming im
plements during the last three
months of 1945, a peacetime
period, was approximately 10
per cent less than in the last
quarter of 1944, a war period.

Q. What are the rates of pay
ment to be made under the 1946
AAA program for seeding Wint
er cover crop?
A. State AAA men report the
following rates of pay for cover
crops seeded with inoculated
seed in well-prepared seedbeds.
Crimson clover, 15 cents per
pound; hairy vetch, 12 cents \

'Master Race'
Query Arises
In Poultry
Paralleling the theories of the
Axis powers in the recent war
is the yet unanswered question
in poultry: What is the "master
race" in chickens?
The Axis discovered, painful
ly and at great cast, that there
is no 'master race'. Poultrymen
of the State College Extension
service are in agreement; too.
that there is no "ultra-super
ior" strain of chickens although
some breeds have better records
than others a* broilers or egg
I layers.
R. S. Dearstyne, head of the
department of poultry science
at State college, says that
amerlcan breeds such as- Rocks,
Reds and New Hampshires have
.desirable qualities as broilers.
Leghorns and related American
breeds, he adds, ' are normally
1 better egg producers.
It is the breeding within the
stock selected that counts, the
poultryman declares, adding:
? Because chicks are Leghorns
does not necessarily mean that
they will produce heavily." A
chick's quality is determined by
breeding before the egg is '
hatched and even good man
agement can not develop quality
In a chicken after hatching.
"Consequently," Dearstynei
says, "a person starting in
! poultry work should consider his
objectives very carefully and in
doing this, consult with the
agricultural advisor in his coun
ty as to what the demands of
the local market are and thus
get tips to the nearest and best
sources of stock that will prob
ably meet his needs,"
It's Bedtime For
N. C. Sweet Potatoes
It's almost bedtime for this
year's crop of sweet potatoes
in North Carolina and horti
culturists of the State College
Extension service, anxious to
avoid a repeat on the poor qual
ity crop of last year, have out
lined a number of suggestions
to growers.
Yields on the state's 80,000
acres of sweet potatoes in 1945 ,
averaged between 97 and 115
bushels per acre but quality !
was poor and returns corre
spondingly discouraging. Now,
however, demand for potatoes
continues strong on the south
ern markets and buyers from
Virginia, Georgia and South
Carolina are frequenting mark
ets in Davidson and other
counties. Curb market reports
have Indicated that people will [
buy good potatoes with little re
gard for prices while passing
up poor grades irrespective of j
how low the price.
These suggestions have been 1
offered to Tar Heel growers:
Buy certified seed stock now
(about $4 a bushel); if. old bed ;
is to be used, renew it now; re- j
move all old dirt and , disinfect
the area, allowing bed to air
several days.
Round up equipment for elec
tric or flue-heated beds.
If possible avoid the use of
manure as a source of hotbed
heat because manure has been
found to cause or spread dis
ease in the bed.
More sweet potato plants can ;
be obtained per bushel of seed ?
bedded if electric or fire-heated 1
beds are used.
U. S. Farmers will spend an
estimated billion this year for
new equipment, if manufactur
ers can produce that much.
peas, 5 cents per pound, and
annual rye-grass. 8 cents per
pound.
Q. Is it really better to pre
pare tobacco plantbeds in the
Fall?
A. Extension service tobacco
specialists say positively "yes".
Farmers who prepared beds last
Fall "and applied cynamid and
uramon to kill weeds, though
delayed now by wet weather in
planting seed, are far ahead of
farmers who must prepare beds
from scratch.
