PROSPECTS FOR PEANUT PRICES SEEN AS BETTER Price Stabilization Move ment Gives Promise Of Success Kinston.—“Reports indicate that the agreements are being signed and that the completion of the code will make it possible for the agreements and licnse to be put into effect at an early date," wrote J. \V. Tapp, chief of the special crops division of the AAA to X. G. Bartlett, secretary of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce, with reference to the pea nut marketing agreement and the pea nut code. This reply came in re sponse to an inquiry from the official of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce, the sponsoring organiza tion of this movement to stabilize the prices of peanuts, as to how long it would be before the marketing agree ment would be put into effect and the three cents minimum price to be made effective for the peanut growers of the section. Since December 2nd, when the for mal hearing was held in Washington, the peanut growers of the peanut belt have been anxiously waiting for news from Washington to the effect that the agreement had been put into ef fect. Now that this new information has come direct front the department, the grow-ers will take new courage and hold on to their peanuts until the ar rangements have been completed. Sec retary Bartlett was in Suffolk this past week conferring with the millers and others as to the outlook for any early operation of the code and the mar keting agreement. The names of both J. B. Fearing, of Windsor, and Sam XT. Clark, of Tarboro, have been forwarded to Washington by Dean Schaub of the Extension Department, for the Secre tary of Agriculture to select one to serve on the Control Board to look after the affairs of the markeing agree ment. These two nominations were sent to Dean Schaub by request of the meeting at Rich Square last week. There is much speculation among the peanut section as to which man will be chosen to represent the peanut growers from North Carolina on the control board. Both of these nomi nees have been very active in the cam paign to stabilize the prices of pea nuts and both are members of the steering committee appointed by the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Com merce early in the summer to handle campaign. -« Gives Fertilizer Mixture For Early Irish Potatoes Experiments conducted with Irish potatoes in Eastern North Carolina during the past five years have shown the value of a mixture of 7 per cent phosphoric acid, 5 per cent nitrogen d 5 per cent potash, E. B. Morrow, xtension horticulturist at N. C. State College, says. Mr. Morrow also emphasizes the value of fine dolomitic limestone as a filler in the place of sand. Sand serves as a filler and nothing more, he says. But the limestone also has a beneficial action on the land and may be considered as an important ingredient of the fertilizer. He gives two formulas for the 7-5-5 mixture, one prepared commer cially and the other mixed at home. Both are good, he say-, but the use of limestone in the home mixture Children’s Coughs Need Creomulsion Always get the Lest, fastest and sure t treatment for your child's cough or cold.

Miss Mattie Marow SOUTH LEADER IN RECOVERY -£ General Improvement and Happier Feeling All Over Cotton Belt -« The South is leading the nation's! drive toward recovery, according to! dispatches and editorials appearing in! the metropolitan newspapers through-] out the country. General improve ment in conditions and a much hap pier feeling about the immediate fu-1 ture are reported by all who travel i through the cotton belt. That there is ample basis for this optimism is shown in the U. S. Department of Ag riculture’s report, recently issued, that 1933 crop values are up 42 per cent. (The farm value of the 1933 cotton crop was nearly $620,000,000, compared with less than $375,000,000 in 1932. In planning for 1934, people are deeply impressed by these visible evi dences of the establishment of a new economic order. Their response ha> been prompt and generous, as reveal ed by reports of a widespread trend back to normal buying habits, espec ially among farmers. Compelled by the adverse conditions of recent years to buy sparingly, at the cheapest price, and without regard to quality, farmers are being greatly encouraged to find that in many lines, quality merchan dise is offered at prices well within their ability to pay. An example is to be found in the case of Chilean nat ural nitrate, a fertilizer of south-wide 1 importance which has been used in the United States for more than 100 years. In this case, farmers can sat isfy their preference for a high stan dard of balanced quality without pay ing anything extra for it, even though the presence of a number of valuable impurities in the natural nitrate gives it a position of dsitinguished useful ness among the rather large number of other materials, not of natural ori gin. The real significance of this and similar instances of improved condi tion- in our agricultural sections is to be fully appreciated only by those \ who know how complete has been the change in the farmers’ frame of mind during the past years. He is begin- j ning again to think in terms of the future, a future that holds for him the promise of constructive and profitable enterprise in partnership with Mother! Nature. Best To Feed Chickens Milk Before Clabbered The feeding of clabbered milk in , pans or shallow receptacles, unless i gleaned and scalded daily, will cause j loose, yellowish v< idings.

One ton of the commercial mix-!

The cottonseed meal also contributes a part of the potash. Eighty-three pounds of sand 1 for filler completes the ton. In the home m.xture, the nitrogen is carried in the nitrate of soda, 200 pounds; sulphate of ammonia, 200 pounds, and cottonseed meal, 500 pounds. The phosphoric acid is con tained in the 800 of superphosphate. One hundred pounds of muriate of potash provide the bulk of potash re j quired.

First copies of the contracts were . made available by the Agricultural j Adjustment Administration last weekj and every effort is being made to speed printing and distributing the J full supply that the sign-tip campaign1 may be started at an early date. Regu lations and other necessary forms, will be sent out with the contracts. | N'o definite dates have been fixed for the start of the actual national campaign, but Cully A. Cobb, chief of the cotton of the AAA. has advised Dean 1. O. Schaub, that signing ofj contracts in more than 800 cotton counties of the South would begin as soon as the necessary forms could be gotten to the field, probably before January 10. Restriction of cotton planting for t 1934 to 23,000,000 acres is the gen eral goal of the new program, Mr. Schaub said. This would be a reduc-j tion of approximately 40 per cent front the “base acreage." or average, acreage for the period 1928 through J 1932. The contracts also provide for a possible acreage reduction in 1935, if the secretary of agriculture finds' this to be necessary. The 1935 re duction would not exceed 25 per cent of the "base acreage,” under the 1 terms of the contract. "Rental payments, based on the productivity of the acres rented to the secretary of agriculture under the contract, and parity payments of not less than one cent per pound on their farm allotments will be made to growers who take part in the pro gram," says the extension director. "The rate of rental for each acre will be 3 1-2 cents per pound on the aver age yield of lint cotton iter acre for the farm during the base period, 1928-32, with a maximum of $18 per acre. The parity payments of "not less than one cent per pound" will be paid on the individual "farm allotment, which is 40 per cent of the average annual cotton production for the farm during the base period. This 40 per cent of the individual’s production compares with the percentage of the national crop which is used domestic ally, and may be referred to as the individual's "domestic allotment. ’ 1 Mr. Schaub points out that produc ers who sign the contracts will agree to reduce the acreage they plant to cotton in 1934 to at least 35 per cent and to not more than 45 per cent un der the base acreage. The retired or rented acres must represent, in pro ductivity, a fair average of the cot ton land on the farm. Other provi 1 sions of the contract concern use of the rented acres, assignability of the rental payments, increase in total crop acres on the farm, problems in volved in various landlord-tenant re NEW THEATRE - PLYMOUTH, N.
