Cotton Payment I May Come Early ? I Wallace Suggests Ad vance Action; Peanut Growers Back Kerr Amendment Washington, March 15. ? A group of about 50 North Carolina and Vir ginia peanut growers, accompanied by Representatives Cooley and War ren, today conferred with officials of! the Department of Agriculture and! secured* the formal approval of thel department for the Kerr bill to broad en the "orders" section of the AAA act so as to include all farm com modities. The bill is aimed particularly at J peanuts and potatoes, and the peanut! growers agreed to support that bill! and drop efforts to secure control pro-1 gram or peanuts similar'to those now! in effect for cotton and tobacco. Mr. Cooley and Mr. Warren will! confer tomorrow with Representative Marvin Jones, of Texas, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, I with a view to early action on the I measure. It is likely that the Kerr J bill will be included with amendments already suggested to the AAA act, which include increased payments for potato growers and, a control pro gram for 1938 on burley tobacco. Secretary Wallace today added another important amendment to those already suggested. In a letter to Chairman Smith of the Senate Ag riculture Committee, the Secretary proposed legislation for early pay ments of the subsidy on 1937 cotton already voted, in view of the over whelming majority by which cotton farmers voted for control on Satur day. Provision has been made for sub sidy payments not to exceed 3 cents a pound on the 1937 prop, which, on account of limitation of funds, are expected to be actually about 2 cents a pound. The delegation of peanut growers this morning conferred in the office of Representative Kerr, with Repre sentatives Barden and Hamilton, of Virginia also present, and spent the afternoon at the Departemnt of Ag riculture. The delegation was headed by E. F. Arnold of Raleigh, secretary of the N. C. Farm Bureau, and Ravenel Hol land of Edenton, president of the Peanut Stabilization Corporation. Section 381 (B). of the Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1938 provides that any producer who transfers the title of loan cotton to the Commodity Cre dit Corporation would receive a pay ment of 2 cents per pound on the cot ton transferred. The comptroller general has heW, however, that a pro ducer could not receive the 2 cent payment until it was determined whether he was due a cotton price adjustment payment, under the pro gram authorized by the third defi ciency act enacted last year. One of the conditions of the cotton price ad justment payment on the 1937 crop was that a producer comply with the 1938 AAA cotton program. Under the comptroller's ruling, the 2 cent payment cannot be paid before the producers' compliance with the 1938 cotton program has been determined and the amount due him has been de termined. Furthermore,. producers who transferred title to the Commo dity (Jredit Corporation would lose the opportunity to benefit by cotton price advances above the loan rate. In his letter to Senator Smith, the * ? ? * IN 1.1 A. - - secretary pointed out mat appiuu mately 92 per cent of the more than -1,300,000 fanners who participated in the referendum of March 12 voted for marketing quotas on the 1938 cotton crop. This indicates the in tention on the part^of an overwhelm ing majority of the producers to com ply with the 1938 program, since a producer who overplants his quota acreage allotment would receive no payments. Under the proposal which Secre tary Wallace made to Senator Smith, the title to the cotton would remain with the producer and the latter w<^dd be in a position to benefit by future price increases and he would ? also get any premiums which might be due him because his cotton graded out on a higher basis than that es tablished as a bisis for loans. "If Congress wishes to.authorize the making of cotton price adjust ment payments in advance of com pliance with the 1888 agricultural ad' justment program as now required by the provisions of the AAA Act of 1938," Secretary Wallace said in his letter, "It is believed that they can be accompHahed with a more equitable result to all cotton prodacers by aur thorixing an immediate payment to ? all cotton producers upon their agree . ment to comply with, the 1988 agzi cultural adjustment, program. This would avoid .^^jBscrimination of cotton,'under tha 1937 cotton loan, ?artier* tihmTthe I 1 fiOQ T ?si n i' -A , STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS ' Question: How much space is needed for each beef animal in the feed lot? Answer: From 90 to 100 square feet of yard aind shelter should be provided for each mature animal and of this space about one-fourth should be shelter, ^bout two and one-half to three feet of trough space should be shelter. About two and one-half to three feet of trough space should also be provided. Yearlings take about two-thirds as much yard and trough space as mature animals and calves can be grown ant to 90Q to 1, 000 pounds ^weight in about half the space required for two year old ani mals. Horned cattle, especially the two-year old animals, require at least a half more rack and trough space as the polled or dehorned cattle. 1 ? ???? Question: When purchasing baby chicks, what per cent of them should ]ive? Answer: There are many contribut ing factors to this, but when disease free chicks are started and careful management practices are followed, about 90 per cent of the chicks are raised to ten weeks of age. At this time the chicks enter into . growing stock age and other factors will have to be considered. Errors in manage ment such as overcrowding, chilling, over heating, poor ventilation and im proper feeding will bring about heavy chick mortality. Germ borne infec tions also take a heavy toll of the young stock and precautions should be taken against this infection as well as improper management for best re-' suits. ... I ' " Question: Is it necessary to use a hotbed or coldframe in bedding sweet potatoes? Answer: Where climatic conditions allow, the plants may be propagated in an open plant bed. Cold frames should be used when conditions will not allow open beds and hotbeds should be used when forcing early plants. The potatoes should be bed ded in sand or light sandy soil ob tained from areas where sweet po tatoes have never been grown. Space the seed about three-fourths of an inch apart and cover tlfree inches deep to insure ample root develop ment. The plant bed should be kept moist but not waterlogged. Hog-Grading Service , Planned For Farmers Plans for training men to grade North Carolina hogs before they are shipped to market have been an nounced by H. W. Taylor, extension swine specialist at State College. The announcement came after Tay lor had spent about a year in study ing the present hog marketing situa tion in this State and in confering with packers: and representatives of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. A grading service is needed, he says, to determine the condition of the hogs that the proper deductions may be made when the pork is soft or oily. ??'* "Later this year we. hope to have trained men whom both buyers and growers will accept as qualified to grade hogs accurately," ^Taylor said. The graders will be supplied by the Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics and trained by the Bureau of Animal Industry. Packers have of fered the use of their coolers to be used as laboratories in training the graders. Packers usually pay 75 cents to $1.50 less a hundred weight for hogs which are soft or oily from eating waste peanuts or soybeai^ Unless the hogs 'are graded -accurately, the deductions: may be too great or too small.* * Meanwhile, Taylor pointed but that it is all right to feed soybeans and peanuts to hogs until they reach a weight of 85 pounds. This enables growers to utilize their peanuts and soybeans* But after that, the hogs should be put on a corn ration together with tankage or fishmeal and soybean oil meal or cottonseed meal. If this is done, the hogs should be firm and hrfrd.by the time they attain a weight of 200 to. 226 pounds. "nabcorfcr kiss?b sought ) ? San Francisco. ?

I OR JOHN a JOYNER, Agent "Tested on the Farm" FARMVILLE, Nt C. Hudson First With 'Double Safety' Brakes ? ? S Hudson's powerful Duo-Automatic Hydraulic , braking system, with the exclusive "double safety" feature of emergency mechanical brake lihkage operating from the same foot pedal and functioning automatically, is continued practically without change I on the four new Hudson, cars for 1938, according to Lilly ?fotor Co., hew dealers for the line, located on East Main St. "Introduced to the industry by Hud son in 1935, this "double safety" fea ture, which functions automatically if for any reason there should be a lack of fluid in the hydraulic system, en ables the driver to retain effective control of his car even after the hy draulic system has been entirely dis connected by simply continuing to press the same foot pedal which ac tuates the hydraulic system until the emergency rotary-equalized mechani cal brake takes hold/' Mr. Lilly ex plained. Declaring that the "double safety" development in automotive braking systems would probably continue to assume increasing prominence in the industry since it represented the' best features of both the hydraulic and mechanical schools of thought, Mr. Lilly cited the results of road tqsts officially observed by police and traf fic safety authorities. "In this test," Mr. Lilly asserted, "the observers cer tified that a Hudson Sedan, with the Duo-Automatic Hydraulic braking system fully disconnected, was brought to a stop with the'required legal distance solely by means of the reserve rotary-equalized, braking system under conditions simulating an actual emergency. Inspection of the skid marks on the ?roadway fol lowing the test further revealed that the separate safety system' gripped ? the pavement smoothly and at the in stant the brakes were applied since a dynamite gun loaded with chalk and fastened to the running board of the test car marked the exact spot where the separate braking system became effective." "In addition to this 'double safety* feature of Hudson's Duo-Automatic Hydraulic braking system," Mr. Lil ly concluded, "there is, of course, a third braking system in the emer gency hand brake located handily at the left under the instrument panel." 1938 is moving along but there is no telling what will happen before it ends.
