WATCH YOUR STEP Farmers who have signed tobacco contracts, will not be allowed to sell leaf tobacco or scrap tobacco and pay the tax. The contract signer is per mitted to sell the tobacco over his allotment on the allotment card of another contract signer, who is under his allotment, according to advice coming from the County Agent's Of fice. The non-contracting signer is privileged to sell his tobacco and pay the tax or if he has been granted an allotment, he may also sell his to bacco after the allotment is used up, and pay the tax. The contract signer is not allowed in any instance to sell tobacco of a non-ontracting signer without violat ing his own contract, which will be sufficient grounds for cancelling his contract, in which he will have to pay back all rental and equalization payments and will have to pay the twenty-five percent tax on all his to bacco in 1934 on all the farms that he owns or operates. Growers are warned not to sell scrap tobacco to buyers who call at their farms without having same placed on their allotment cards. The Federal Government has men em ployed to check up on such sales and any violation of the above rules and regulations will forfeit the farmers contract. Vetch And Clover Build ? Crop Yields Last year a piece of bottom land! owned by J. B. Echerd of Alexander! County produced 110 bushels of corn! by actual measure though the land! has been in com continuously for the! past 25 years. "The answer is that, every winter, I this soil has been covered with a I good crp of vetch and crimson clov- J er," explains Enos C. Blair, extension | agronomist at State College, who re-1 ported the facts. "The legumes are! planted each fall and plowed underl the following spring in time for>thel corn crop to be planted. In spite of! the good yields which Mr. Echerd I has harvested there is as yet no ap- J parent diminution in the fertility of! the soil Prospects are good for a I heavy crop of com to te harvested from the bottoms this serson." Another farmer in Alexander coun-j ty, John Sipe, began growing vetch I and crimson clover on a piece of bot- I toms in 1920. At that time, the land was producing an average of I about 20 bushels of com to the acre. I Last year it produced 60 bushels and | the crop in 1934 looks better than it j did in 1933. But vetch and clover are not the only two legumes which build soils, Mr. Blair points out. On the farm belonging to the Barium Springs Or phanage in Iredell County, alfalfa is the principal crop. This institution has two large fields seeded?on one field the crop is four years old and on the other, eight years old. De spite this, the alfalfa was free of weeds and crab grass due to regular cultivation with a spring tooth har row. The two fields have averaged three tons of hay to the acre so far this season and the land is improv ing in fertility. . Alfalfa hay is selling now for $30 a ton in North Carolina at farm prices and the average of three tons to the acre being harvested means an income of $90 an acre. The maintenance cost after the first planting is practically nothing, Mr. Blair says. I Peanut Program Is Planned For I Eastern Carolina I North Carotin* fanners planted! I 206,000 acres of peanuts in 1983 but! I in most counties the acreage wast I small and of tittle economic import- J I ' ance. In 12 eastern counties, how ever, the crop is of tremendous eco-l I nomie importance and growers are! concerned over the proposed market-1 the crop this fall and wocksd into an j I 'adjustment program with the crop off North Carolina farmers, also will J ? 7 ^ ffied to know that the peapot^pro-j sob, who has handled the flue-cnmi I tobacco situation so satisfactorily to J 7'i^4gjL ? ? i - t j- ., W . ? ' T>f , , r\~ f details are worked out at Washington^ A conference was held, at Wash-4 ington on August 30 for the purpose I of determining the details of the I marketing agreements to be in force! this fall and a public hearing was! held the following day, August 31, to! determine the rate and scope of the! processing tax which will be used! with the production adjustment^ pro-1 gram next year. Full details , of thef plan will be completed and contracts! are expected to be made available to j growers before October 1, Mr. Schaubl says. J Under the plan proposed bene-1 fit payments would be made this I season on that portion of the peanut | crop diverted into oil which would! bring* the returns of such 8 portion I in line with the returns from the! part of the crop used for shelled I goods. This will allow growers to J divert, without loss, a part of their! crop to oil, depending oo the prices being paid for shelled goods, Mr. { Schaab said. I Answers Timely Farm Questions At State xfeBege QUESTION:. What minerals are! necessary for laying birds? } c' ANSWER: The ?usual feed are bone meal, oyster shelter! repair of the body, Bone meal helps! build bona and tissue; oyster shell or! ground limestone. am|?Bed for ther suits peanuts should not be grown on the same land more often than once in three years. A crop rotation should be planned with a cover crop, preferably a legume, being turned under the second year of the rotation. Where bacterial wilt, black root rot, and white or brown stem rot appear in the fields such crops as tobacco, Irish potatoes, tomatoes, soybeans, and cowpeas should be left out of the rotation and corn and small grains substituted. QUESTION: What benefit is se cured by plowing under green tobacco stalks? ANSWER: In addition to affeting a certain control over insect nests and diseases, the plowing under of tobacco stalks immediately after har vest also has a beneficial effect on the soil. These stalks contain pot ash, nitrogen and some phosphorus which is released in the soil through decomposition. These elements run about 100 percent for potash and from three to five percent for ni trogen. Cadet Turnage Extends Welcome Return of Cadets More than fifty cadets, members of the Class of 1933, United States Military Academy, West Point, spent the Labor Day week-end in New York, (N.

Wright, Raleigh, former U. S. Senator F. M. Simmons today Voiced emphatic opposition to the proposed new State Constitution, commended Attorney General Brurn mit on his fight against the measure and paid a compliment to Governor Ehringhaus without mentioning him by name. Following is the text of the Simmons letter: "Replying to your letter of re cent date suggesting that I make a statement for publication, of my position with .reference to the pro posed new Constitution, I wish to say I am most emphatically opposed to the ratification of this measure. Many of its most vitally important provisions are repugnant to the fun damental principles of our hereditary system of government by the people and for the people. To safeguard these principles our pioneer fore fathers pledged their fortunes and their lives. PsntnliTM Power For government by the people and for the people this document would substitute government for the people by the chief executive of the State in cooperation with certain agencies of the State, counties and municipalities, the members of 9ome of which he would appoint.' "The dangers of these proposed changes in our system of government are greatly increased by the ancillary provisions of the document, practical ly removing all restrictions upon the amount of indebtedness which these! various agencies within their respec-l tive jurisdictions may incur, as well I as the rate of taxation they may im-| pose upon the property and the heads of the people, without regard to age. Necessary to Act Now "If the people would forestall and | safeguard themselves against the) manifest dangers inherent to these provisions of the proposed Constitu-J tion, they must act now by defeating 1 its ratification in the coming election. If they fail and these extra-ordinary I powers are conferred by the Consti-J tution and thus protected against leg islative action, it requires only ordi-1 nary foresight to forecast that if I ratified there will be in all probobil-j ity sooner or later be evolved a State-1 wide political organization with prac-J tical control of the entire election J machinery of the State. (In this) connection it should be remembered I that we may not always have, as we now have, a governor who we know)1 would frown upon such political de vices.) _ I1 "Manifestly in such a situation) only the most heroic action cm the) part of the people would restore to 1 them the right of self-government J and the control of their local affairs.! "Beyond all dispute there are many! admirable and desirable provisions in I the proposed new Constitution, but ] their importance pales before the! dangers of its obnoxious provisions.) "It is indeed unfortunate that the)' people, under the act of submission I hould be required to vote for or) against the proposed Constitution as) a whole. "Before concluding I wish to ex-J press my admiration of Attorney J General Brummitfs brave and able) fight against these dangerous inno- j, vations." * Death Claims : ' jjT" . .; Ci til Crawford t Funeral Services For1 BeD Arthur Commun- - W Man Hdd This 1 Afternoon ?;-% i -II " >'?
