This is the opinion of E. Y. FLyd,
tobacco specialist at State College,
who says that North Carolina farmers
may onset this seeming advantage
of other sections by replacing cash
crops such as tobacco, cotton and pea
nuts with soil improving crops.
There is still some doubt in the
mind of the farmers as to how to pro

Hobart Taffey, alleged slayer of
Blaine Shelton on Laurel, Thursday
of last week, was arrested in Green
ville S. C and brought to Marshall
and" lodged in . the Madison County
jail, Monday. The arrest was made
by Sheriff Guy English himself., : us
rest wawmade abotit'one o'clock the
next morning. Sheriff English tells
us that Taffey admits being present
at the time of the shooting but de
nies that he did it.
The shooting was said to be the
result of ; a prolonged ill feeling.
Shelton was shot three times, ac
cording to reports, once m the einow
and twice in the back of the neaa.
Immediately after the tragedy, Taf-
ing crops on the farm is above or be
low the county average.
The general productivity of each.'
farm will be based upon the average
past yields of soil-depleting drops
other than cotton, tobacco,' and pea
nuts, t
For tobacco and cotton the' rate of
payment has been fixed at five cents
a ponnd on the average tobacco anl '
cotton yields of the farm. The rate
for peanuts is 1 1-4 cents a pouii'l
The soil-conserving payment will
bi- mfde fcr shifting land from soil
depleting into sou-conserving crops
this year. '
A farmer who takes high product--ive
land out of cash crops and put
it into soil-conserving crops is mak
ing a bigger sacrifice than t!ie farm
