I ? October 31st Is Last Day To Comply With 1937 Soil Program 1 Don't forget that October 31 is the last date on whch toil building ' payments can be earned under the 1937 agricultural conservation pro gram, warns E. Y. Floyd, of State 1 f College. Fanners who have not yet earned the full amount of their soilbuilding ' I allowance still have time to earn pay- ( ments by seeding winter cover crops, ( turning under legumes, and carrying c ? out other practices prescribed by the 1 program. ( In checking growers' compliance, c Floyd said, it has been found that ar number of farmers have not yet met|f all requirements for growing soil-IJ conserving crops to qualify for diver-1f sion payments. 11 Winter cover crops such as crimson J clover, Austrian winter peas, and I | vetch may be sown in October tol earn soil-building payments and to I1 I help qualify a grower for his diver-1e | sion payment, Floyd added. Payments offered under the pro-1 ^ gram for soil-building practices will f I largely off-set the cost of doing these 10 things to improve and conserve the I ? soil, he continued. County farm agents have notified Ia growers of the acreage of conserving I ^ crops they still need to qualify for Ic ! diversion payments and of the amount 11 of soil-building practices needed tol earn the full amount of their soil-1 building allowance. Seeding crimson clover, Austrian 13 winter peas, and vetch in October will i ? I count in the soil-conserving acreage | I 6 for 1937 and also as a soil-building I j practice for which payment will be I ? made at the rate of $1.50 an acre. I.. Soybeans, velvet beans, or cowpeasL turned under in October as green manure will earn the grower $2 an I ? acre as a soil-building practice. Planting forest trees on crop land ? will earn $7.50 an acre, and on ^ | other land $5.an acre. Improving the stands of timber by thinning according to methods recommended by the ex | tension service, $2.50 per acre. 1 Ground limestone or superpnoapimn; may be applied to non-crop pasture ? land or in connection with the seed- ? ing of crimson clover, vetch, and | Austrian winter peas. For applying 1,000 to 5,000 pounds of ground limestone per acre, the _ , rate of payment is $1 per thousand | pounds. c For applying 100 to 500 pounds of Q 16 percent superphosphate, or its j equivalent, payment will be made at ? ! the rate of 60 cents per hundred ^ pounds. i For constructing adequate terraces j j where needed, payment will be made ^ I at the rate of 40 cents per hundred lineal feet of terrace. For sub-soiling to a depth of at least 18 inches with furrows sufifi- t ciently close together to completely t break the sub-soil, $2 an acre. ^ ' 4-H Boys Compete e For Scholarships ? I Three one-year scholarships to s ' State College will be awarded this 2 week at the annual North Carolina ' j State Fair to 4-H Club boys exhibit- * ing prize farm animals. Awards will be based on records s kept by the club member and on the appearance of the animal when judged at the Fair, declared L. R. Harrill, ? State 4-H Club leader, * Scholarships will go to the mumbers 1 exhibiting dairy calf, the best baby v beef calf, and the outstandng pig. ? Only bonafide club members from 10 to 20 years of age will be eligible c to compete, In the dairy calf contest, type and 1 condition of animal will count 35 ; points, showmanship 15 points, fin- ' ancial gain 30 points, dairy manage- * ment 10 points, and -yeadership activi- 1 ties 10 points. The final three sped- 1 fications will be obtained from the 1 dub member's record book on the 1 animal. In the baby beef competition, con- ( formation and condition of the ani- j mal as judged from a slaughter stand point will count 50 points. From the record book, the other ] 50 points will be determined. The ' same basis will be used in the con test for first prize among dub boys ' exhibiting pigs. The selection of the winner and the presentation of the scholarship will be made under the direction of the 4-H department at State College, Harrill stated. , The scholarships are being awarded by the North Carolina division of the Natural Seed Products Assodation.

Be WRfdred <atf minor ia l-Llllml'Iri . _ . Looking at Washington (Continued from Page One) lecessary signatures can be secured. Business generally seems to be de iermined in its opposition to the pres mt bill and considerable uncertainty sxists as to the attitude of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, which has nore influence in Congress than any >ther labor organization. Southern congressmen are reported almost un inimousiy opposed to the measure on iccount of their fear that it will re mit in injury to industry in that sec ion where wages are not as high as n other industrial areas. President Roosevelt returned from lis Western trip convinced that the lation is behind his program, possibly excepting the Supreme Court reform ilan. His speeches indicated little loubt of popular support for a general arm program including the control f "crop surpluses:" He indicated very ilainly his conviction that reduced the ours of labor, higher wages, the ;bolition of child labor and some de rree of uniformity of labor conditions hroughut the country have the sup tort of the people. He will insist upon the reorgina ion of the Federal executive structure nd the passage of the Norris bill resting seven regional planning au horities to recommend the coordinat d development of water power and atural resources. Undoubtedly the Congress will also debate at length he international problems now con ronting this country, with particular mphasis on the neutrality law and he suggestion of the President that his nation take concerted action to quarantine" agressor nations. The urore over the Black-Klan situation rill be re-echoed by many speakers, nxious to put themselves on record n this subject. The President's Chicago speech pecific in its flavor of peace and gen ral in its outline of American parti ipaton n a "concerted effort" to set ie world conditions, continues to stir peculation here and abroad. While ome observers jumped to the conclus jn that the "quarantine" might in lude a block-ade or boycott of Japan, thers inclined to the belief that Mr. loosevelt will seek results without ttempting anything drastic. It is 'enerally agreed that the people of his country will not fight to oust talians from Spain or Japanese sol iers from China. Apparently, the effort for peace rill invove some voluntary contribu ions or concessions from the coun ries with large gold stocks and mar ;ets. The "have" nations will have to ssist the "have nots" in solving their conomic problems, appeasing them fith loans and offers of raw mater als or there is danger of the dictator hips will blow up from internal fin jicial and economical pressure. Before he leaders of Germany, Japan and taly permit violent internal upheav es they will risk war in the future is they are risking it at this time. It is essential that Americans under tand the consequences which must ollow a sustained policy of isolation. Necessarily, agriculture and industry srhic^ depend on foreign markets, will uffer 'and there will be bigger and >etter agencies of the Government to ontrol and readjust agriculture, in lustry and finance. This policy would nean increased power for the Federal ?rovernment, inevitably along the lines >eing followed by Germany, Italy and Tapan, and, possibly, some relinquish nent of Democratic processes. It vould probably require the enlarge nent of our military and naval forces md the gearing of our national econ omic life to meet the demands of sud ien warfare. On the other hand, a policy of cooperation with the world, eading to the development of mutual trading interests and the gradual improvements of living conditions in ill countries, would tend to remove the irritations now threatening war, and, in time, produce a feeling of xmtentment and security almost every where.

Diversification of crops and live stock production are forms of insur ance that help take the risk , out of farming, said Prof. Earl H. Hoetetler, of State College. Diversification of crops, he pointed out, wipmw there will be lees risk of losing heavily on one crop as a re sult of bad weather or low prices. Crop rotations make it possible for the farmer to conserve and build up his soil so as to insure the future fertility of his land. Livestock producton provides an extra market for grain and other feed crops, encourages diversification by creating a need for home-grown feed, i and supplies manure that will add fertility to the soil. \ Feeding stock a balanced ration is a form of insurance against the risks of stock raising, Professor Hostetler continued. A good silo is another help. In this state, the feeder who sup-, i plements his home-grown grains and roughages, as well as pastures, with - cottonseed meal and hulls will make < his other feed go farther, have a bet- i ter balanced ration, and produce high- 1 er quality animals. j Professor Hostetler stressed the im- ? the trench silo is gaining popularity in North ^ [ Silage is-tbe cheapest source of nut rients, next to pfcitafe, and it supplies stockand cattle withasucealratfee< : during the winter hwnths when -fresh grazing is scarce or not to Hbe hadat all, he said.
