Scotland County
Wins 1948 Cotton
Trophy; Hoke 2nd
The 194S cotton trophy, award
ed annually to the county which
shows th6 greatest improvement in
its cotton production program, will
be presented to Scotland County
on May 26, according to Dan F.
Holler, edtton marketing special
ist for the State College Extension
Service.
Scotland scored 90 out of 100
possible points to win first place.
Hoke County, with 87- points, was
second. Edgecombe and Wilson
tied for third place with ^6 points
each.
Previous winners have been
Halifax in 1942, Hoke in 1943,
Polk in 1944, Edgecombe in 1945,
and- Wake in 1947. No award was
made in 1946.
Presentation of the 1948 trophy
will be made in Laurinburg at a
meeting of the Scotland County
Farmers Club, Mr. Holler stated.
According to' County Agent E.
O. McMahan, Scotland began its
cotton improvement program in
1940, at which time a one-variety
association was organized and a
five-acre contest was started by
the Extension Service in coopera
tion with the' Laurinburg Merch
ants Association. The contest has
been held every year since. Dur
ing that time, the average coun
ty yield has jumped from about
300 pounds per acre to almost a
bale per acre.
As a result of the one-variety
program, practically all of the
cotton grown in the county is of
the Coker 100 wilt-resistant var
iety. Ginners have cooperated by
taking samples of cotton and
sending them to the classing office
in Ral4igh, so that growers- could
know the -grade and staple length
qf their crop before selling it.
W. G. Shaw of Wagram is pres
ident of the one-variety associa
tion, and County Agent McMahan
is group representative.
Scotland growers have adopted
a number of other improved
practices. They plant delinted and
treated seed, use side' placement
of fertilizer, prepare their land
and cultivate • with machinery,
practice chemical defoliation to
make the crop open earlier, and
harvest early to' prevent weather
damage.
Cotton occupies more land and
brings in more money than any
other crop grown in Scotland.
The 1948 crop covered approxi
mately 30,000 acres and yielded
more‘than 27,000 bales.

this week. The mouse had trouble
too for he was electrocuted.
The picture show at the school
house Monday night is said to
have been exceptionally good.

Two new cotton improvement
associations have just been or
ganized in North Carolina, one
in Bladen County and the other
in Columbus County.

Farm Questions
Where can I get
how to estimate
QUESTION:
information on
my timber?
ANSWER: The State' College
Extension Service has just pub
lished two small folders, “Handy
Tables for Measuring Farm Tim
ber.” Either of these will be of
valuable help to a farmer in de
termining how much timber he
has 'before selling. Each folder
contains tables which can be used
for measuring either standing
trees, sawlogs, or pulpwood. Cop
ies of these publications may be
obtained from the local county
agent or by writing to the Agri
cultural Editor, State College Sta
tion, Raleigh. Ask for Extension
Folder No. 74 if you plan to
measure pines, and Extension
Folder No. 75 if you are seeking
information on how to measure
hardwoods.
QUESTION: Please give pre
vention and treatment measures
for coccidiosis.
« ANSWER: A great deal of coc-
cidosis occurs in ' poultry flocks
during May because there is us
ually much damp weather at that
time of year. To prevent this di
sease, avoid crowding. Clean house
often and keep litter dry. Place
water and feed containers on wire
platforms. Keep young stock oh
clean range not inhabited by old
er birds; move shelters anl clean
area once a month. An early diag
nosis and prompt action are es
sential to a successful control
program. Medication should be
used only as an aid to sanitary
measures and good management.
As for treatment of coccidiosis.
Dr. B. F. Cox says there are two
sulfa drugs available that have
been shown to be effective. They
are sufaguanadine, which is add
ed to the feed, and sulfamethazine,
which may be added to the feed
or its soluble form added to wa
ter. When either drug is used,
says Dr. Cox, it should be admini
stered exactly acce

Coccidiosis is caused by a
small animal parasite which is
visible only with the aid of a
microscope. There are several
I
chickens. One type attacks
blind intestine (ceca) and caioiiE*
cecal or bloody coccidiosis. OOkf

as' intestinal coccidiosis. ^ ■

Sim
bill w me, will you
Suppose a stranger asked you to pay
bis electric light bill every month ; ; ;
Farfetched idea? Not so—because you
do help pay a lot of other people’s elec
tric bills every mouth!
Every time you buy cigarettes,
matches, gasoline, a lipstick or a watch,
or hundreds ,.of other things, part ol
what yon pay is a federal tax. And that
same federal tax money helps pay those
strangers’ electric bills.
Here’s -why: the federal government
is in the electric business in some parts
of the country. It sells electric service to
some people and to certain industries—
below the real cost. _
Who makes up the difference? You do
—the government uses some of your
taxes for thqt purpose.
The more of this below-cost electricity
the government sells, the more taxes the
government must collect to make up the
difference between selling price and cost;
We are against goverument-in-the-
electric-business in America. Because it
threatens all self-supporting electric com
panies. And because it is Socialization of
one business, a long first step toward
Socialization of all business.
Most Americans don’t want that. :;;.
Do you?
