Many Growers Storing
Wheat On Own Farms
Many North Carolina wheat grow
ers are storing the IMS crop on their
own farms this year to obtain fed
eral loans, according to W. Herbert
White, Caswell County fanner and
a member of the State AAA Commit
tee. ■»
Farm storage is available in North
Carolina for the first time this year
because of the record supply of
wheat in the nation and in view of
already overburdened transportation
and storage facilities, White said.
Loan rates for the state have been
set at $1.37 per bushel for No. 2
wheat and $1.36 per bushel for No. 3
wheat, with corresponding lower
prices for lower grades. Loan rates
are lower for garlicky and smutty
wheat of each grade. Loans are
available to growers who planted
within their wheat acreage allot
ments.
Stored wheat must be protected
from the weather and must be on a
floor at least 18 inches above the
ground. Farm storage bins are sub
ject to approval of the County AAA
committee.
"The seven-cent storage fee paid
the producer will make it possible
for many farmers to construct or re
pair storage bins large enough for
their, wheat," he said. "In many
cases farmers will Store wheat on
the farms of their neighbors, and at
least five groups are planning to rent
warehouses on a cooperative basis."
He cautioned growers to take good
care of their wheat both before sod
after it is stored and to report any
damage immediately to the eounty
AAA committee.
Elevator storage now is available
at Greensboro and Statesville. Far
mers storing wheat in commercial
elevators or warehouses are eligible
to apply for loans' as" soon ss the
wheat is delivered.

Then, too, he should choose seed

Lastly, he should avoid paving seed

Watermelons will cross with cit

cantaloupes will cross with other vine
crops. Cabbage, kale, cauliflower,
broccoli, and others of the cabbage

Swiss chard will cross. Beans, peas,
okra, and lettuce are self-fertilised
and will not cross with the varieties
of the same vegetable unless done
by hand.
hi the selection and storing of
seed, Niswonger said bean and pea
pods should be pulled in early morn

hung or spread in a dry place until
the seeds are quite hard. Fumiga
