Farm-Home Delegates Enjoy Annual Meet Farm and Home week, now in ses sion at State College, means more co the hundreds of farmers present than a period for studying problems , of agriculture. The original farmers' conventions which began 32 years ago have grown in size and scope until the an nual Farm and Home weeks, which succeeded the conventions, now touch , virtually every phase of rural life. But that is not all. The men and women who gather here from farms over the State have opportunity to mingle with one another, broaden their acquaintances, exchange ideas, and develop a more cosmopolitan point of view. However, the Farm and Home week officials have not forgotten that there : are many concrete problems to be solved, said Charles A* Sheffield, ex ecutive secretary. Many of the pro blems arising during the past year tax the ingenuity of trained experts. Their solution is often found in open | discussions between farmers who en counter them in daily life and speci- | aiists who study them from a scien tific standpoint. All work and no play is just as bad for adults as it is for children, according to Farm and Home week leaders. And so the program has been designed to give the attendants an enjoyable vacation amind the pleas and surroundings at the college. The style show, trips around the capital city, addresses by AAA au thorities, practical demonstrations, round-table discussions, studies in ( home and farm management, and athletic contests all go into the mak ing of a well balanced program. More Income Possible From Better Poultry The rapid increase in egg produc tion over the increase in the num ber of hens in North Carolina during the past decade attests a decided im proveemnt in the quality and man agement of poultry flocks. Yet there is still more room for development in the State's poultry industry, says Roy S. Dears tyne, head of the State College poultry de partment. The income of ?13,200,000 from the sale of chickens and eggs ii: 1933 is far short of the figure whicL can oe reached by taking full advantage of the opportunity awaiting develop ment, he continued. The chief factors in the further development of poultry raising are: increasing the size- of farm flocks, developing commercial poultry farms, developing local markets and better means of reaching national markets, improving the quality of eggs and fowls sold, reducing poultry mortali ty, and exercising more care in breed ing, feeding, and general manage ment. The size of most farm flocks should be increased, Dearstyne said. Too many farmers have only small flocks to supply eggs and birds only for consumption on the farm. The money-making possibilities of poul try are all too often overlooked, since it is hard to realize any appre ciable profit from small, neglected flocks. Careful grading and marketing of high grade eggs -and birds will build up the demand for North Carolina products. Poultry mortality, however, is probably the most acute problem fac. ing the industry ? Dearstyne said. Special work is being done in this field. But more cooperation from small growers is needed. An increase in livability will reduce overhead costs and leave more net profit for the poultrymen. Blount Opposes New j State Constitution > Raleigh, July 27.?Marvin R. Blount, of Greenville farmer state senator from Pitt county, expressed opposition today to the proposed new constitution for North Carolina. In a brief interview. Mr. Blount declared: "The short ballot set-up of govern ment breaks down all protection to Club Short Course Was Well Attended The 500 4-H boys and girls who at tended the annual short course at State College last week are back in their homes telling their friends of the good times they had and the things they learned. The delegates at the short course were selected from the various clubs over the State for their outstanding records in club projects ard their potentialities for leadership. The fundamental purpose of the short course was not only to train the delegates in the essentials of a fuller rural life, but also to train them so they could go back home and share their benefits with their fel low club members, said L. R. Har rill and Miss Ruth Current, club leaders at State College. Special attention was given the work of making the program inter esting and entertaining. Club lead ers sought to make a more vivid im pression on the young people's minds by keeping them on the alert. Classes and lectures were based on problems uppermost in the club members' minds. Hie lessons studied were of the kind they can put into practice during the coming years. Of particular significance were the demonstrations showing efficient and effective ways to go about different casks. Many of the entertainments were of an instructive nature. The play by the Gaston county group Friday night depicted the beginning and de velopment of 4-H club work in North Carolina. Tours about the capital buildings gave the boys and girls a new conception of their State govern ment. The games tended to develop a spirit of cooperation and com radeship and to bring out the ability to lead others in social and group activities. Before leaving for their homes, many of the club memebrs expressed regret that the short course could not last longer and hope that they may be among those to attend next year.

Cardui gave me strength, stopped the nervousness and helped me in every way." ... Cardui may be just what you need. It cant do you any harm, so why not try it?

Opposing Camps Voice Pleasure At Leaf Prices (Continued from P?** one^..v the plan had been discussed with officials of the Treasury Depart ment. It is believed here that the pro posal for a graduated tax which would make possible both- ten-cen and five-cent packages of cigarettes is the full considered program of the administration and will pushed by the administration when Congress convenes again in January. The big companies were success ful in their opposition last year largely because they were able to persuade the bulk of the farmers oi the soundness of their reasoning. Next time it may be a more dtf ficult matter. The new pltt have the support of the administra tion instead of the manufacturers of cheap cigarettes, and that makes a great difference. Furthermore, while the Hutson plan gives a big differential to the cheaper manufacturer it passes on even more to the consumer. The big manufacturers sought to reduce prices from the two for a quarter level to ten cents, a saving of $1.25 to the consumer on each 1,000 cigarettes and they asked tha the government lower the tax $1. per 1,000. The Hutson plan would give the same $1.25 saving to the consumer but would lower the tax only one dollar. The record already made leaves little room for doubt that the pro posal will be vigorously fought by the large manufacturers of cig arettes. ? "I have no comment to maxe, was as far as Mr. Williams would go today in discussing the speech, which he said he had read. However, the proposal gives a greater differential to the manufac turers of cheap cigarettes than did the proposed ten per cent differen tial which the large companies suc cessfully opposed last year. In fac, Mr. Hutson's proposal calls for a 3U per cent differential, with the new proposed five-cent package of cig arettes paying a tax of only $1.40 per 1,000 as against $3 now and with the standard brand of cigarettes paying $2 a thousand. The large companies contend that any differential will be a subsidy to the other manufacturers and that it will be disastrous to the farmer be cause it would dry up the demand for his good tobacco while stimu lating the demand for his poor to bacco. * Of course, if that reasoning is correct for a 10 per cent differen tial it would apply even more to a 30 per cent differential. On the other hand, the manufac turers of cheap cigarettes sought a reduction of 30 cents in the tax with, no saving to the consumer. The Hutson plan would give them a reduction of $1.60, but would lower the price to the consumer by $1.67 per 1,000. It is estimated that the market price of the present crop of flue cured tobacco would have to equal 22 cents a pound to be equal to the price received last year. North Carolina tobacco usually sells for from 20 to 25 per cent more than the Georgia tobacco. If that differ ential holds this year, the Georgia prices would not have to maintam opening-day levels for the North Carolina prices to be quite satisfac And there is this difference this year. The farmer will receive from the government 12 1-2 per cent bonus on the price paid on the market, a bonus received last year only on tobacco sold early in the season, before the price soared un der a marketing agreement which the' companies have refused to re new this year. This bonus is paid out of* process ing taxes. At the present time this tax is 4.2 cents a pound on flue cured tobacco and 2 cents a pound on burley. Parity is now figured at around 21 cents instv?.d of the 17 cents of last year, but if process ing taxes are changed, the pres ent figure^ would call for an in crease in the burley rate and a decrease in the flue-cured rate. That would be hard on the flue-cured grower, as all of the burley tobacco is used in this country and pays^the processing tax, while half of the flue-cured crop is exported and that portion pays no processing tax. The present tax will run to Octo- j ber 1 and Mr. Hutson stated today j that a decision will be reached this month as to whether the tax will be changed on October 1. _ | Marriage by Force Drives Girls to Suicide.
