will be charged against cotton sold
from this, year's crop in excess of 'a :

College.
If a fanner overptanted his quota
last year and held out until this year
cotton on which a penalty should hate
been paid, he will be taxed two cents
a pound on the 1985 lint. Penalties -
on both the new and the carry-ovlfc::
penalty from last year will be col- <

other Democratic statesmen have been 1
completely covered by the dominating
leadership of the President. He stands -1
above Ids lieutenants like a colossus
and not one of ttiim has ever ap
proached liis height. He has been the
undisputed leader of his Administra

must stand is of'his making and |

Strangely enough, the upsurge of ]
Republican strength in the election 1
last year works to the advantage of I
the President. All Democrats, whether >
opposed to the New Deal or not, are
anxious, to win in 1940. Many New '

tion In their own states, will welcome }
any aid that comes 4p them through '
the nomination of the President. They 1
may oppose New Deal principles hut, J
above everything else, they want to j

Farmers Sow Clover
r Directly On Pasture
t&:
Seeding crimson ? clov&r seed just
Jefore the fail rains directly on pas
tures without breaking, scarifying, or
jtherwise disturbing the existing vUg
station and sod will imduce a satis
Mory stand, according to P. R.
Farnham, dairyman of the Stabs Col
lege Extension Service.
The dairyman mid* this announce
ment after gathering sufficient data
from approximately 50 demonstrar
don plots seeded to crimson clover
late last fall in Piedmont and West
srn North Carolina.
Commenting, on this innovation,
Farnham s^-TKig^ce UTOW
nost importance to 'all livestock
growers, especially dairy fanners. It
will mean * legume soil builder that
thrives during the cool weather and
provides one of the best grazing
plants for dairy cows. At the same
time, no off flavors will be trans
iiitted to th? mill."
Parnham pointed out the experience
)f the McKeever dairy farm in Mc
Dowell County as a good example of
*hat can be done with the practice.
Last year, Farm Agent S. L. Home
vood seeded a small plot over a blue
pass sod on this farm, and even
though the clover was put in during
the last of November, a good stand
(res secured. As a result of tM?
lemonstratfon, Agent Hcraetfood says
ten acres of blue grass on this farm
(rill receive around 2)0 pounds of
srimson clover next September.
In Haywood County, where this
jmplia well^nrtablished, arrange
aents have been mads to seef.jMj
ireds of acres of the Mover on perm
Inent pastures next falL .Agent K,
EL- Smithwick and Assistant Agent
IL' L. Reitsel have placed Haywood
it the top among those counties
vhere the practice has been adopted.

Hyde Park, May 80. ? President
Roosevelt, tie-less and in shirt sleeves,
today advocated more elbow-room
far rural home builders and then
ranged over a wide variety of sub
jects, including labor legislation, Post-.
glister General Farley's cross-coun
try "sounding" trip travel plans -and
the visit of British royalty.
Mr. Roosevelt said he had "seen
news dispatches that Senator Va*den
berg (R., Mich.), had announced he
would be receptive to the Presidential
nomination on a .pledge not to seek
more than one term, but he was non
committal beyond that observation.
He said Farley's report on his
swing through the country were very
favorable.
The President said he had noted
that Chairman J. Warren Madden
had told the House labor committee
in Washington that the Nationtl La
bor Relation Board would amend
its regulations to give employers the
right to ask for a collective btfgain
ing election.
There had been some question, he
said,^ at to whether the bdardhad
the power to do that tinder the la
bor relations act ?
Commenting on the Penifitftitia
legislature's passage of a bUTto otit
law sit-down strikes, Mr. RbeifclHt
said: there never had been any ques
tion that such strikes, by and large
were illegal under the laws of most
states and that they were chiefly
a matter of state jurisdiction. > ? v? jv
