Main Belt Including Wash

Tar Heel farmers have been asked
to increase their production of pea
nuts for oil to 216,000 acres next
year. This is one of the State goals
in the Nation-wide "Food for Free
dom" campaign. The acreage of
peanuts for edible roots, controlled
by marketing quotas, remains at
224.000 acres. The 216.000 acres re
quested for oil represents an increase
of 188.000 acres over the 28.000 acres
harvested for oil in 1941.
One of the paramount questions
facing farmers is: What are the best
varieties of peanuts for oil?
Dr. Gordon K. Middleton, of the
N. C. Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion at State College makes the fol
lowing recommendations:
"In the main peanut belt, the in
creased acreage should be planted
largely to the types already grown.
Seed are available and the higher
yields would seem to justify this.
Wherever the Spanish type are used,
the rows should be 30 inches or less
apart, and the seed spaced 4 to 6
inches in the row.
"In the Southern Coastal Plain,
Spanish and Virginia Bunch varieties
should be used, with the proportion
of Spanish being higher than in the
main belt. The suggestions for close
spacing should also hold in this area.
Where peanuts are grown on Pied
mont soils, Spanish or Valencia va
rieties should be used. Observations
have shown that the large type nuts
are not so well adapted to these con
ditions.”
Dr. Middleton said that Experiment
Station workers have conducted va
riety tests in the main peanut belt
for the past three years. The high
est yielding strain was a small run
ner type, secured from R. V. Knight,
a prominent farmer of Tarboro. This
variety averaged 1,498 pounds to the
acre, which means that it will pro
duce about 375 pounds of oil per acre.
A camel being exhibited in Boston
several years ago was mounted by a
U. S. Marine. The camel toppled
over on the Marine. The Marine
suffered a broken collar bone. The
camel died.

Overfeeding Gows
Is False Economy
John A. Ar«y, extension dairy
man, says overfeeding is not an
economical practice. Feeding a
full ration never means overfeed
ing. It means feeding each cow
according to her ability to pro
duce milk economically. A cow
capable of producing around 260
pounds of butterfat in a year
uses about 50 per cent of a full
ration to maintain her body. The
other 50 per cent is used in pro
ducing milk. Sim e she must first
maintain her body out of feed
given her, it is poor economy not
to give enough feed for economi
cal milk production.
Farmers Told Musi
Save Soybean Seed
For Crop Next Year
National Defense Program
Calls for Large Increase
In Acreage Next Year
J. A. Rigney. agronomist of the N.
C. Experiment Station with head
quarters at State College, says the
soybean goal cannot be met unless
seed for the 1942 crop are saved right
now.
‘‘With soybeans selling at more than
twice what they brought at this time
last year,” Rigney said, "and with
very limited storage facilities on the
farm, most of our beans will go to
processors’ warehouses within the
next month. Any attempt to estab
lish seed source for the prospective
planting next year must be done now.
Once seed is bulked, retrieving pure
seed is impossible.’’
The agronomist said that a mixture
of varieties of soybeans will do as
much to reduce the yield as any one
factor. Differences the time of ma
turity make harvesting difficult, and
subsequent storage of seed hazard
ous. For instance, Rigney pointed out
that Herman variety beans mature in
135 days, Tokio in 140 days, and
Wood's Yellow in 160 days. “A mix
ture of these, or most of the other
varieties, will cause complications,’’
he stated.
The Experiment Station has found
in its tests that the Wood’s Yellow,
Tokio and Herman beans do best in
the Coastal Plain, with the Wood’s
Yellow yielding good as beans, being
shatter-proof, and producing a fair
amount of oil. The Herman bean
yields the most oil, but shatters badly
and is only a fair yielder of beans.
The Tokio also tends to shatter, is a
fair yielder of beans, and is better
than the Wood’s Yellow in percent
age of oil.

Change Program for
Demonsiration Club
Work During Year
“Thrift and Health for Bet
ter Living’’ Is Theme for
Clubs Next Year
Miss Ruth Current, State home
demonstration agent, annoiai that
a state-wide home demon :ation
club program for 1942 has beer; adop
ted unaer the theme: '‘Thrift and
Health for Better Living." Ail of the
75,000 or more farm women and 4-H
Clubs will study the same subjects
each month, instead of having o.ngle
major and minor projects for the
entire year.
The month-by-month program will
be as follows:
January—Outlook meeting at which
Lime ‘‘Family Plans for 1942" will be
studied.
February— A study of the nutri
tional situatiaon; what to do about
food production, meal planning, food
preparation and preservation under
the title, "Living Above the Safety
Line.”
March—"My Clothing Needs," in
cluding an inventory of what we
have, w'hat we need, and how to get
it. A study of the minimum essent
ials of an adequate wardrobe.
April—"Future Security Through
Conservation.” Ho«:e furnishings
end equipment, and garden and farm
equipment.
May—"The Staff of Life—Whole
Grain Products and Their Use." This
will include a “Betted Bread Com
paign,” a study of whole wheat cer
eals and breads, and the food value
of soybeans.
June—“Home Care of the Sick.”
Emphasis wi’l he placed on diets,
equipment and good bedding.
July—‘‘Food Conservation,” includ
ing demonstrations of canning fruits
and vegetables.
August—“Planned Recreation" for
311 members of the familly.
September—“Wise Use of Time and
Money" at harvest time and when
the children go back to school.
October — "Clothing Clinics" to
learn the care and repair of wearing
apparel and household furnishings.
November—“Building Strong Stur
dy Bodies’’ and the preparation of
protein dishes.
December—"Housing Repairs and
Improvements for Happier Living.”

% inter Legumes Set
New Record In State
New records were established in
North Carolina in the seeding of le
gumes and grasses, and in the use
of green manure crops, by partici
pants in the 1940 Agricultural Con
servation Program. G. T. Scott,
Johnston County farmer and chair
man of the State AAA Committee,
expressed special gratification over
the 144,000 acres of winter legumes
planted.
In a preliminary report on the
1940 AAA program. E. Y. Floyd,
State executive officer of N. C. State
College, said that a total of 1,065,000
acres was seeded to legumes and
grasses in North Carolina during the
1940 program year. This compar s
with 893,101 acres seeded in 1939.
The seeded acreage in 1938 was 869.
50, in 1937 it was 553.403, and in
1936 it was 484,688 acres.
Floyd said that the 144,000 acres
f v. i; ter legurr.es being grown this
winter compares with 93,802 acres
in 1939.
“The 1940 results,1’ Floyd declar
ed, “are significant gains. Through
many years of soil-depleting cash
cr- 0- nd losses from erosion much
of our roil in North Carolina has lost
its organic matter and has been
'ripp* i of it- fertility. Scores of far
mer? were unable to get satisfactory
stands of needed legumes.
“Or, literally thousands of farms
tl e use of lime and phosphate has
made 1 gumes possible. Together,
n • c two materials are making pos
, lit more economical and efficient
product; >n, more and better food and
feed crops, and improved farm in
Ter i-.eady advance by North
Carolina farmers in recent years in
ti i": ah ? that even greater conserva
tion results will be obtained
