V. Floyd, of State College, has an nounced. Last year, hi; continued, grown a of this state earned some $9,35ll,Ui)0 by regulating their acreage of soil lepleting crops and by carrying out soil-building practices. Only about 456,300 remains to be paid. The AAA also pave North Carolina farmers $1 1,932.52 up to May 31, in "giants of aid;" that is, triph-Mi-per phosphate given farmers in lieu of part of their payments. Floyd added that up to May 31, some $542,100 had been set aside for county AAA associations to defray the cost of administering the program locally. Around 1411,000 signed work sheets for participating in the pro gram last year, he continued, and some 250,000 farms are covered by work sheets this year. At least 99 per cent of the farms in the state are covered by work sheets that qualify them to take part in the program. Floyd pointed out that Tar Heel growers as a whole can earn con siderably more this year than they did did in 1937 if they don't over-plant their soil-depleting crops anil if they NOTICE OF SALE On Monday, September 19, 1938, at at 11 o'clock A.

As a delegate to the 25th annual Farm and Home Week held at State College, Raleigh, August 1-5, from Haywood county and at the request of the Fines Creek home demonstration club which I represented, I am giv ing these facts taken from two speech es made by Dr. O. E. Baker, Senior Economics Division of Population and Rural Life., U. S. D. A., at meetings at Farm and Home Week: "Why I want my children to become farmers." "First In times of depression there is something to eat; the farmer has more and better food than the average city dweller in times of depression. During the last depression nearly six million people went back to the faim or to relatives on the farm.. l"Second The average length of life' is from two to four years longer on the farm. "'Third The farmer becomes wealthier on an average. The aver age farmer has a little property, com pared to three-fourths to nine-tenths of the average city dweller v; ho has no property." Dr. Baker warned against buying on the installment plan and thereby paying from twenty to thirty per cent interest. "Fourth The farmer's life is more variable. It is not so monotonous as city life. The farmer can enjoy his work because he deals with life. Ag riculture is based on the facts of re production and the continuity of life. Urban occupations are carried on in doors. There is a mechanistic con ception of life compared to an or ganic aceupation of farm life. "Fifth The farmer is likely to have a family. Women and children are a part of the business unit of farm life. In the city children are a lux ury. Only half the women of the city have a child. The average city family is dying at the rate of two per cent per year. There is far less di vorce in the country. A visit to Ger man homes revealed that some of their farm homes would be fifty thous and dollar homes in this country. One home had been in the same family since the eleventh century. Too often our farmers look forward to retiring to town." Dr. Baker compared the substantial homes of New England on poor soil to our less substantial homes on better soil. Dr. Baker insists that there is no substitute for the family. If farmers lose their ownership of land in this country they are likely to lose their freedom. Those who are losing their ownership are doing so for ever. "I want my boy to become a farmer be cause it is the foundation of family life and the family is the foundation K i" l L.,. 10 17 0 Two years ago, A. C. Walker, one of Haywood's leading sheep raisers, quit the business after fifty successful years. Here he is pictured with some prize winners before he sold out his flock. He has never been satisfied since the day he sold them, and now he plans to go north and pick out another flock and start all over again except he knows the game now, and won't have to experiment. He wont' talk about any breed but the Hamshires, which he terms are the best suited for Haywood County. Along the N. C. FARM FRONTS EXPORTS GAIN The U. S. Department of Agricul ture reports that American fannirs sold $155,000,000 more agricultural products abroad during the - fiscal year 1937-38 than during fie -previous twelve months. NEW COTTON USES Purchases of cotton and cotton products up to $250,000 in value for projects to develop new commercial uses for cotton have been authorized by the AAA in a diversion program. GRASSES IN PEANUTS Many peanut fields in Virginia and North Carolina have been reported as abandoned after heavy rains brought on an extreme grassy condition, sayg E. Y. Floyd, of State College. For 52 years, A. C. Walker, of Crabtree, was a leader in sheep raising in Haywood county. Being a firm believer in pure bred stock, he soon acquired a flock that was th envy of the community, and sure prize winners at many fairs. For the past two years he has not raised any sheep and is somewhat "at sea" because of the fact that he has no sheep to bleat at his call. He has stood it about as long as he can, and now at the age of 73, plans to make a trip to Pennsylvania Farm Women Tn Meet At W.C.T, Second Annual Metting Vill Held September 6- From Here Kxpe'cti ' The efond h meeting for fa; in the western lina will be hel olina Teachers r,.:;,t."

Persons who plan to attend farm and home meeting who have received a card from the and Ohio, and get together a flock of agent's office should contact the c pure bred Hampsnrres. JNotning else suits Mr. Walker, and he says no other breed is as suited for this coun ty as the Hampshires, the mutton type, and as he puts it: "The Hamp shire is the best sheep on four legs for Haywood." Fifty years ago, he pointed out, there was in the county only scrub stuff. "I have tried my best to build up flocks, and by the use of purebred animals, have lived to see fine sheep in all parts of Haywood." REVISION Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace has announced that revi sions will be made in tobacco quotas where the allotment seems inequitable. COTTON FORECAST SHOWS RE DUCTION Farmers of North Carolina fore cast a harvest of 453,000 bales of cotton, their smallest crop in 37 years, as indicated in the August 1 federal state crop report released by the State Department of Agriculture.

Total value of animal products re jected as "unwholesome and unfit as food" $3,806.33. TOBACCO CROPS FIRST The North Carolina tobacco crop has a value equal to two-thirds of the income of all crops; and 58 per cent of the cash income of crops and live stock, reports the State Department of Agriculture.

NOW LESPEDEZA STATE During the past 10 years, North Carolina has developed from an in significant lespedeza state to a pres ent acreage of probably 800,000 acres and millions of pounds of seed pro duced, reports the State Department ot Agriculture. EXPECT INCREASED EXHIBITS Although the number of exhibitors was doubled last year, officials of the State Fair, to be held at Raleigh October 11-15, expect a further in crease this year. of a democratic state," he said. He urged that we take our sons into part nership on our farms and build better homes.
