TV 1 " . 1 - Washington Farm "r. - v v-;?, ' . - DROP POTATO CONTROL. WHEAT TO FILIPINOS. CONSUMER DEMAND. TREND TO BE UPWARD. FUTURE OUTLOOK. ?????? "V (Huso S. Sins, Washington Corres pondent.) V The potato marketing agreement, affecting interstate shipments of po tatoes grown in thirteen early and in termediate states, will not go into ef fect although more than seventy-five per cent of the growers in the states affected went on record in favor of the plan. The AAA points out that in four of the areas the vote was less than sixty-six and two-thirds per cent, and in two areas, less than fifty per cent. An analysis of the vote by states shows that six returned less than a two-thirds favorable vote and three favored the program by less than fifty per cent. Under this condition, the AAA de cided it would not be feasible to make a program effective, although the over-all vote was sufficient for the purpose. Despite the fact that the vote grave the AAA the right to make the plan effective, sentiment is not considered to be strong enough in all areas to warrant putting the restric tions into operation. The number of yes-votes was 5,528 and the number of no-votes, 1,1811. I The AAA will continue to indemni fy exporters for losses incurred in connection with exports of wheat flour to the Philippine Islands. The idea is to reduce a regional surplus of wheat in the Pacific Northwest and to regain the normal market in the Philippines. In the last fiscal year sales of flour under the program were equivalent to 2449,300 bushels of wheat. Since the program went into effect, 4,951, 610 bushels of wheat have been ex ported in the form of flour. The pro gram is financed from funds made available for customs receipts. It is pointed out that the Pacific North west region now supplies nearly six ty per cent of Philippine flour com pared to 26.1 per cent in 1935 before the program began. Developments of the past month in dicate that the low point in consumer incomes and in demand for farm pro ducts has been reached, with pros pects for some measure of recovery following the summer months, says the Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics. This improvement will follow somewhat behind the expected revival of industrial activity. Advancing stock prices, the recent trend toward higher prices of raw materials, and increased buying of consumer goods are cited as reflect ing the generally improved business sentiment. The general trend In busi ness activity during the coming year probably will be upward. - v The Bureau points out, however, * that the course of recovery may be somewhat irregular and at times rather slow. For the remainder of 1938 both consumer and income de mand for farm products probably will continue less favorable in some recent years, but this year will be marketed under improving condi tions of income and demand. De mand for the non-perishable farm products may reflect these changes more rapidly than for the more per ishable products. __ Market prices during recent weeks indicate that the general level of prices received by termers in mid My was slightly higher than in mid Jane. Receipts from term market Jane made about their usual| ' seasonal change from May. And July September receipts are expected to show about the usual seasonal change. Reviewing the current situation for various farm commodities, the Bureau said that the recent mar^, increase in domestic mill sales may result in aniderease in the weeks and months immediately ahead. World and domestic wheat H4 - now have largely adjusted to the new erop basis and changes in the next month or so will be affected mainly by changes in spring wheat conditions in tho United States and (tenadai World wheat supplies outside o<| - 1/Vk _ | ^P^KQU^WNS ? ? ,~v;, * ->^Vr.*v3K' >?''&?? Question: Do tobacco stalks when plowed under have any beneficial ef fect upon &e soil T Answer: Green tobacco stalks, when plowed under, liberate a certain amount of plant food, but the great est benefit from this practice comes from the destruction of insect pests. Suckers, which grow on stalks left standing in the field, furnish a breed ing ground for millions of pests which in turn attack the crop the next season. All plants should be destroy ed immediately after harvest and the stalks turned under to prevent the breeding and feding of these insect pests. Question: When should laying hens be culled from the flock? Answer: It is sometimes stated that when egg production in a flock; es pecially in the slimmer months, falls below 30 per cent it is time for the entire flock to be handled. However, a more complete record than this is needed before it could apply to any flock. The price received for eggs, the cost of feed, mid the fe&d cost per dozen eggs should be known be fore any intensive culling- is done. Watch the flock for the early molters and dispose of them as soon as molt appears or when production ceases. The removal of these birds will take care of the culling problem until it is time to select breeding hens. Question: What is the best time 16 cut lespedeza fpr hay? Answer: Lespedesa -should be cut when it attains a'height of 15 inches, or when it is in full bloom, which ever occurs first. The usual dates for the Gorean variety is from Au gust 1 to September 1 and fifteen days later for the other varieties. When July and August are dry and September wet, the main growth of the Commone, Tennessee 78 and Kobe varieties will take place in Septem ber and it will pay to. delay cutting until October 1 or later. If cut early, however, lespedeza will make enough second growth to reseed the land but it is seldom possible to remove both a hay crop and a seed crop the same year. , : WALSTONBURG .

These growers and extension spec ialists will point out the value of crop rotations in increasing crop yields and controlling insects and disease, tell how livestock aid in soil improvement and balancing the farm program, dis ease the importance of good seed, and sbpw the place of poultry in a good farm program. An address Tuesday morning on "Where Are We Going in Southern Agriculture?" by J. A. Evans, of the Georgia extension service, and two talks Wednesday and Thursday morn ing by Dr. 0. E. Baker, senior agri cultural economist, U. S. Department of Agriculture, will be of special in terest, said John W. Goodman, of State College, secretary of Farm and! Home Week.

TWO FAMOUS FLIGHTS Howard Hughes and his compan ions, in their flight around the world, not only set a new record but estab lished a firm reputation for the relia bility of American airplanes. There is no use in discounting the Hughes' achievement because it was backed by intelligent use of money. To travel around the globe in less J than four days is a monumental achievement in the development of aerial navigation, which Started dur ing the lifetime of many people in Pitt county. The surprise flight of Douglas Cor rigan across the North Atlantic, a spectacular exhibition of flying skill, combined with exceedingly good for tune, robbed the Hughes' accomplish ment af;t?e front pages. The young aviator, with the patched up plane, deserves the acclaim showered upon him and nobody wishes it otherwise. The progress of aviation is served better by the Hughes' flight although young Corrigan stirs up the imagi nation and helps to enthuse the pop ulace with the glory of aerial navi gation. Besides, in a world as large as our own, there is room for both types of individual daring and a mood to applaud all of the persons con nected with the two flights. FOUNTAIN NEWS (By MRS. M. D.

Farmers Apply More Lime To Their Soil A million tons more agricultural lime were applied to farm lands in the East Central Region in 1936 anc 1937 than during the previous sever years. Increasing their timings as a scil building practice under 'the agricul tural conservation program, farmen applied 1,600,000 tons of ground lime stone during the first two years oi the program, said E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College, During the 1929-1936 period 600,00C tons were applied. The -tonnage used in the region hat not yet been calculated by individual States, he continued, but preliminary reports indicate that Tar' Heel far mers increased their limings more than growers in the other states. Just the same, North Carolina far mers need to ?|>ply much more lime to their acid soils to improve theii productivity, and Floyd is urging them to make every effort to carry out all the practices to meet their soil building goal so they can qualify for the full amount of their agricul tural conservation payments. Apply ing lime and phosphate are among the recommended practices. He pointed out that in an experi ment with an untreated pasture, 46 pounds of beef were produced per year by each acre,] and at the end of five years only 10 per cent of the de sirable grasses and legumes remain ed. But a limed and phosphated pas ture produced 128 jpounds of beef per acre per year and after five years 99 per cent of the desirable grasses and legumes were .growing luxuriant ly.

Noted Authority To Speak At Farm Week One of the Nation's foremost au thorities on farm life and rural pop ulation, Dr. 0. E. Baker, of thellX S. I Department of Agriculture, will be one of the chief speakers at Farm and Home Week at State College, August * 1-5. He will appear on the joint pro gram for men and women Wednes 1 day and Thursday morning, said John W. Goodman, assistant director of the State College extension service and secretary of the convention. 1 "To Rescue for Human Society the j Native Values of Rural Life," will be the subject of Dr. Bpker's address ' Wednesday, and the next day he will ' discuss "The Drive of Farm Youth 1 and .Wealth to the Cities?' One of the great drains on farm wealth, he ? has found, is caused by rural people ? moving to towns and cities. At the joint session Tuesday morn ' ing, Lynn Ramsay Edminister, of the 1 Department of State, will discuss trade agreements with other coun ' tries so as to facilitate imports of.j commodities this country needs to in- j crease United States exports of sur plus agricultural and industrial pro duct?. "Other countries cannot buy more ! from us unless we buy more from them," Goodman explained, "and the trade agreements that Mr. Edmin ' ster will discuss are of votal impor tance to Southern agriculture." Dean I. 0. Schaub, director of thg ; extension service, has announced that at the request of men and women who attended Farm .and Home week last year, the evening' programs must J>e kept free from spach-making and re served for band music, group singing, ^nd other recreation and entertain ment.
