Farm agents Ifortb ^arokna^ f
duled to gatjbr-r sb State College on
Thursday, December 28, to-study the
cotton contracts which will he offered 1
growers by the AAA, within a few
days.
The sign-up drive will be launched
the first week jn January, which has
been designed "Cotton Sign-Up
Week." Every effort will be made
to place the contracts in the hands
of the farmers as soon as possible,
Dean L 0. Schaub, bead of the State
College extension service, stated.
Charles A. Sheffield, assistant ex
tension director who will have charge
of the cotton sign-op, Dean Schaub,
other extension service officials, and
representatives of the AAA- from
Washington were to be at the meeting
in Raleigh Thursday to explain the
contracts to the agents and discuss
any problems that might arise.
Mr. Sheffield pointed out the urg
ent need for North Carolina to retire
300,000 acres from cultivation next j
year and limit the crop to less than
450,000 acres. The AAA has set out
to raise cotton prices by cutting down
the overburdening surplus. To this
end, farmers of the nation have been
asked to limit their crop to 25,000,000
acres, a reduction of 40 per cent tin
der the average for the five-year
period from 1928 through 1932.
Growers who sign reduction con
tracts will be given both rental and
parity payments. The rental, for the
acres retired from cultivation will be
calculated at the rate of three and j
one-half cents a pound on the average
production of those acres during the
1928-32 period, with a provision that
not more than $18- an acre shall be
paid.
The parity payments will be at
least one cent a pound on next year's
cotton allotment to each grower, re
gardless of how the market stands.
In case the market fails to bring par
ity prices, -the AAA will increase the
parity payments if necessary to make
up the difference.

North Carolina farmers must re
place about 22,000 horses and mules
each year. So faF these replacements
are being shipped into the State and
if each animal costs only $150 a head,
Tarheel fanners must spend a gross
at $3,300,000 to replace their failing
work animals.
"Few horses or mules are seen in
cities and toms but out in the coun
try, this form of power is still used
almost exclusively -by landowners,"
declares Prof. Fred M. Haig of the
animal husbandry department at
State College. "At present, we have
75,000 horses and 265,000 mules in
the State. The average life of these
animals is about 15 years which makes
it necessary for Tarheel farmers to
replace about 22,000 animals each
year. As most of these animals
are purchased from without the bor
ders of the State, this constitutes a
heavy drain upon the farm income."
Therefore, Prof. Haig advises that
at least enough colts be grown at
home for replacement purposes.
This can be made practically a non
cash cost, he says, because feed grown
at home on adjusted acres might be
used to grow the colts at little cost.
The colts could be broken to harness
when coming three years of age and
if wisely handled will make excellent
work animals.
Three things are essential for suc
cess in raising colts at home, Haig
says. First select good mares and
high class stallings or jacks. Take
good care of the mare and feed her
properly while she carries the colt
Then, while the foal' is growing, han
dle him with gentleness and see that
he is properly fed.

Educational Program
; Cuts Accidents To Re
; markably Low Mini
mum
? t
Akron, Ohio, Dec. 28.?Following a
program of cooperation and education,
employes of the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co.,. during the past few years
completed the best safety record In
the history of the concern, officials
have announced.
With 15,000 employes, Goodyear's
Akron plants sustained 2,648 lost time
accidents in 1927, but by following a
systematic effort to promote safety
on every Job this figure was cut to
523 in 1930, while to date in 1933 the
remarkably low record of 201 lost
time accidents has been attained.
The Safety Department in the com
pany's home offices in Akron heads
safety activities of Goodyear factories
and mills throughout the world, but
has direct supervision over the Akron
plants only. Each subsidiary has its
own safety organization, following
closely the instructions formulated by
the parent organization.
Among interesting safety records
made by Goodyear subsidiaries is that
of the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corp., which
built the giant Navy airships, U. S. S.
Akron and U. S. S Macon, without a
single fatality or permanent injury.
In the rubber plant at Bowmanville,
Canada, not a single lost time accident
has been reported since February,
1931, while the tire factory at Gads
den, Alabama, completed the year
1932 without a lost time accident.
The factory at New Toronto, Canada,
has had a clean record since April,
?? .
During the current year oniy inree
lost time laccidents have been report
ed in all of Goodyaaris seven cotton
mills. Os^ cotton mill has reported
no accidents since November, 1931,
while another has a clean slate since
April, 1932.
Goodyear has been intensely inter
ested in a safety program since the
company's inception, 35 years ago.
Safeguarding of machinery and in
struction of employes have been para
mount in every manufacturing pro
cess. Statistics show that in the
United States 15 per cent of all ac
cidents are due to machine or equip
ment failure, while the remaining 85
per cent are due to carelessness, and
for that reason Goodyear places re
sponsibility for accidents directly
upon the supervisors of its various
departments. ? *
