Troy Ferguson, district farm agent, i earnestly urged the fifty or more farmers gathered in the court j house here today in a county farm outlook meeting to put on a live at-home campaign that they migh live in peace and plenty. The meeting, while poorly attended, is said to have resulted in much , good. Miss Pauline Smith, district home agent, ably discussed the needs of the community as re lated to agriculture, talking main ly on proper eating for good j health. "There are no less than | 200,000 people in the State who are suffering on one way or an !'• other from improper eating," she declared. Pellagra was referred to as the one disease that has gained rapidly during the past few years.

THE OUTLOOK FOR TOBACCO THIS SEASON Market Conditions Point to an Increase In The State This Year EXPECT PRICE DROP ♦ | Prospects Are That Stocks Will Be f Larger Next July Then They Were in July. 1930 -► I roni' present indications the prices "l aid to"grower's of tlue-cured tobacco :n 1931 are likely to be lower on the average tNan those being paid for the 1930 year's crop, if the acreage is main tained. The basis tor this conclusion lies in: i 0) The prospect that stocks on July 1931, will be materially larger than those of July I, I^3o. (2) The fact that the trade and in dustrial depression of the past months lias definitely slowed up the consump tion of cigarettes, awl (3.) The uncertainties in the demand lor flue-cUred tobacco, both in the domestic and ioreign markets I'he domestic consumption of Hue cured tobacco tends to become more am) more closely associated with cig-, atette consumption, and less with to-] hacco chewing Last ye.lr, for the ..first time since 1920 4 there were again defi nite signs of slowing up in cigarette consumption. For the nine months, January to September, the sales of cigarette stamps exceeded those for the corresponding period in 1')29 by less than J pe-r cent In four of these months, the sales were lower than for the same months a \ ear earlier. Judg ing by experienece in 1920-21, it would he hazardous to assunte that domestic , con-umption of cigarettes, and there lore ot flue cur: d tobacco,-will resume an upward, (repd in the near future, and thi-. consideration lends signifi cance to the strong prospect that leal stocks on ha lid July I, lV.il, will be materially larger than those of July I. last The foreign market for fttte-cUTed to bacco contains some uncertainties. The least encouraging phase at this time is, iii tin- fail tire ot Chinese to register -their customary seasonal in crease in August and September. With signs of weakness in domes tic'and foreign markets, it is import ant to consider prospective supplies. Stocks o( old tobacco on hand July l, I'J.iti, amounted to 5W,259,000 pounds. I'roduction last according to lat-! cM available estimates, was 800,124,- ~ ()U'r~piTiini7s, * making HVe record' fcital supply (599,259,000 plus 800,124,000) ot 4,,.W^,38.1,(100 pounds. li-the con sumption of the last fiscal year is fup licated, there will still remain on baud next July I about 658, (M10,000 pounds, an increase of about 10 per cent in stocks Unjess consumption during the present fiscal year increases at least 8 per cent over the high record of th& last fiscal year, stocks next July win be larger than 'those of last Jills Hut from present indications, con sumption wil increase little, if any, and it scents assured that stocks will be larger Therefore, it an increase in the total supply of Hue-cured tobacco on hand or in prospect next July is to ! be avoided, there must necessary be a reduction in acreage. So far as can lie determined front present indications an increased total supply next July would probably depress prices below the 1930 level. Market conditions pertaining to to bacco and other cash crops in the Southeastern States lead to the con clusion that there will be an increase ! n the acreage of flue-cured tobacco in North Carolina, and not much change—possibly a slight increase in South Carolina, and that this increase in i\ Be sulTieiciir to more than ottset any probable decrease in' acreage in Virginia, Georgia, and Florida, where returns t> growers have "been least satisfactory this year. ... ♦ ■ ■ " "Gettin' Him Told" ' From Edenton comes the atory of a certain citizen of that town who came up to a group on the street, following the closing of the Citizens Bank of that place, and with a long face said: "I had 9800 in that bank, and its closing has certainly got me in a mesa." Whereup, a certain professional man of the town turned upon him j and said: "If you had paid me and a lot of other folks you have been owing money to for several years, you wouldn't have had so much in the damned bank." And the man who was looking for sympathy tucked his tail be tween his legs and slunk into a barber shop to get his face hid under a towel. ♦ Farmers' Exchanges Do Million Dollar Business The 25 farmers' annuat exchangees low operating in this State did a com bined business of over a million and a half dollars in 1930.

County Agent T. It. Brandon stated yesterday. There are other preventa tives that aid in the control of the leaf spots and wildfire, lie stated, slim ming up the- methods as follows; "Select a new location for the plant bed as often as possible on land that I hr~ Well drainrrt: " "Tobacco seed , should be treated with a formaldehyde lobitjoti prepared bv mixing one lal lespooiitul of for- I nii.ldehyde with one pint of water, i Place the treating solution in a fruit i jar and put the seed in a cloth sack ; (the sack should not lie tilled more than half full oJ seed), then dip seed in solution in fruit jar for exactly ten minutes.

Ai the end of ten iliiuues remove and ■ wash seed thoroughly in sev-eral 1 changes of water, until the odor of i formaldehyde is gone, then spread out i i'i a warm room to dry." "The seed may be left in the sack for washing out the formaldehyde, providing the seed are worked about with the hands, in order to insure wa ter reaching all parts. Use several changes of water The drying is best d( ne by spreading the seed out oil a ' paper in a warm room. & "Old plant bed covers which are to i be used again this year be dis infected by boiling them in water for forty minutes or longer.

"Remove from the field and burn the . fi'stt. plants showing signs of mosaic jar leaf spots, in order to prevent spread. . J | "Several of the more common to bacco diseases are known to live over in the soil from one season to the next. The rotation of crops on tobacco soils is fjf importance therefore, from the standpoint of disease control, as well as that of soil fertility."
