**V!l p* TM ^^|||^ I HULL EXPLAINS PACTS HELP OUR FARMERS PHOSPHATE IMPORTANT WINTER RAINFALL PAYMENTS TO FARMERS 5 <?* ??[. h ffS . (Hugo S. Sins, Washington Corres-J pondent.) <. I Secretary of State Cordell Hull,! whose persistent drive for trade agreements has resulted in the com- J pletion of seventeen pacts involving! mutual concessions in the interest of I developing international trade, is con-1 vinced that "any sound program fori broadening the markets for farm pro ducts at honie and abroad is in the! interest of agriculture." He says foreign trade is of great! significance to the farmer who must expand the markets for surplus] crops. Mr. Hull insists that a fail ure to secure markets for surplus! crops will result in low prices for these crops and force diversion of land and .labor to produce farm pro-1 ducts not on an export hams and thus increase the pressure of internal com-1 petition upon these prices. He expresses determined opposi tion to an embargo policy in foreign trade, saying that if we had follow ed such a course in the five years preceding the depression, we could have excluded imports of foreign corn and hog products and that we would have been left with an unsalable sur plus of 800,000,000 bushels of corn. Two basic principles, he said, guided him in negotiating trade agreements:. (1), opposition to prohibitive or em bargo rates and, (2), determination to protect American farmers from ab normal, unreasonable or matemlly hurtful imports. In 1937, he point ed out that our imports increased by; $661,000,000 over 1936 but that Airing the same year, our exports rose by $890,000,000. President Roosevelt is much inter ested in the possibility of developing the production of phosphates from low-grade rocks in the West. While large scale mining in that area has not been profitable in the past, it is believed that an abundance of electric current will make it possible to se cure active chemicals in highly con centrated form for agricultural and industrial purposes. Phosphate is an indispensable chemical with about 16 billion tons available in the world. A new tech nique, developed by the TV A, secures a highly concentrated phosphate fer tilizer from poorer grades of rock and is expected to be useful in the Northwest where surplus water pow er is expected to be developed. The use of phosphate, says a TV A report, makes practicable a change in farm methods which will hold the soil and protect the reservoirs from silting. The chemical is essential to plant and human life. It enables plants to grow firmer roots and experts say that a pound used as fertilizer for legum inous plants will enable them to bring down out of the air five or six pounds of nitrogen. More ttiaii normal rainfall came to the greater part of the United States, west of the Mississippi, during the winter but less than normal was the general rule throughout the East, with the Southeast getting about one half of normal. A large part of the- upper Great Plains area and upper Mississippi Valley failed to receive normal pre cipitation and sub-soil moisture, long deficient, has not been entirely re plenished " ? . Payments in connection with the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Pro gram and other 1937 and current AAA programs are expected to be at peak levels during the month of March. ?? Payments already made in 1933 amount $b approximately $72,000,000. Payments between March 1 and June 30, are expected to amount to ap proximately $335,000,000. Of this* amount, approximately $110,000,000 will be paid is March, $100,000,000 in April, $80,000,000 in May, and $45, 000,000 m June. The total of approxi mately $886*000,000 for the Mareh June period for 1988 compares with payments approximating $287,000,000 for the spaa period in 1937, and $168, 000,000 tor the same period in 1930. The $335,900,000 estimate is exclu sive of $230,000,006 cotton price ad justment payments because the ex tent to which they will he paid dur ing tits period has not yet been de . tgrnimed. v v Farmers^Knd^March ^ \ "March, the month in which we be gin to plant oroys in'a big way, is also the ftonth in which crops planted t. *??"?* ?L C.

After scarifying; old pastures, apply 1-2 to one ton of lime stone per acre before sending. Add 200 pounds of good, complete fertili ser at time of seeding. In the coastal plain, old carpet grass pastures may be renovated by disking, applying fertiliser, and sow ing common Isepedesa. This will not hart the grass, and will increase the pasture's feed value. Small grains sown last fail should be top-dressed as early in March as possible. In the coastal plain, use 100 pounds of nitrate of soda and 50 pounds of muriate of potash per acre. In the piedmont, apply 75 to 100 pounds of soda, and if no potash was applied when grain was sown, put on 2S to 80 pounds of potash with the soda at this time. The corn worm is usually at its worst in ApriL To avoid the worm, plant corn either in the latter part of March or wait until May if the! land is infested with this pest. | THE ANSWERS! 1. $6,344,091,100.00. 2.

Good Fertilizer Is Needed For Tobacco Flue-cured tobacco growers have found that the use of high analysis fertilizer means high quality leaf. L. T. Weeks, assistant ?extension to bacco specialist at State College, says a 3-10-5 fertilizer is being recom mended this year, especially for sandy loam soils. On some of the heavier soils, a! higher analysis of potash may be desirable, and for these a 3-10-8 mix ture is recommended. The rate of application of both fertilizers is around 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre, depending upon the fertility of the soiL Any farmer in doubt as to what is the best fertilizer formula for his fields should consult his county farm agent. "And when buying fertilizer, insist that you get the formula you want," Weeks urged. EXPLOSION HURTS 4 GIRLS I Wilkes-Barre, Pa. ?

Slate College Answers Timely Farm Questions ????. Question: Why is it that my ten year old scuppernong vines bear no fruit and how can I correct the trou ble? Answer: Practically all varieties of Muscadine grapes how grown are sterile and must be pollinated by a! male vine before they,will bear fruit. I As your vines were propagated from J a productive plant it will be neces-| sary that you plant a male vine for pollen. These male vines may be se cured from many commercial nurser-1 ies and one male vine should be planted for each ten plants. Male! plants produce pollen, but do notj hear fruit, and it is necessary that! the bearing vines be pollinated be-1 fore they will bear fruit Question: How can I get rid off white grubs in my tobacco plant bed? I Answer: A poisoned bait made with I 25 pounds of wheat bran, one pound! of Paris Green and enough water to I moisten has given good results. The! mixture should be broadcast at the! rate of 10 to 12 pounds to each 1001 square yards of plant bed. Do notj allow bait to fall on plants. The same j bait applied in the same way will al-1 so control slugs and snails when mix-1 ed and applied the same way as forj grub control. Several applications, | however, may be necessary for the shails whereas one application is suf-| ficient for the grubs. In some cases, particularly on j lighter soils, use of sulphate of po-| tash as a side-dresser is recommend ed at the rate of 60 to 100 pounds J per acre. This, of course, depends upon the | type of soil and the amount of po tash applied in the fertilizer just 1 before the tobacco plants were setj out. A good side-dressing speeds up thej plant growth and helps in the de-j velopment of more uniform leaves j when they are maturing. Before tobacco is to be planted, the land should be disked and broken. On heavier soils, fertilizer may be ap- j plied a week or 10 days before the plants are set out. If the soil is J lighter and there is a chance of the fertilizer leaching out during a heavy rain, the fertilizer should be put in just a few days before planting.

It has all the basic Ford advantages. It is built on the same chassis as the De Luxe Ford V-8. It gives you a choice of smooth 85-horsepower or 60-horse power V-8 engines. But it sells at low prices, and includes bumpers, spare tire, cigar lighter, twin horns and other equip ment that make it a still bigger bargain. With the thrifty 60-horsepower engine, the Standard Ford V-8 is priced espe cially low and gives the greatest gas mileage in Ford history.
