MANY CHANCES TO
COME IN FARMING
Now that the war is over,
many changes in farm production
in North Carolina will be necess
ary . if heavy losses, similar to
those suffered after the last war,
are to avoided, says the sycty
seventh annual report of the
Agricultural Experiment Station,
recently released by Director I*.
D. Baver.
The report cite, the 30 per
cent increase in peanut acreage
as compared witfi pre-war years
as a good example of what has
taken place in many phases of
crop production. The acreage
devoted to tract, crops has been
increased by about one-half.
The increase in hen* and pullets
has been bean considerably more
than 50 per cent, and indication*
now point to a large surplus of
eggs and poultry meat during the
coming year.
“Tobacco grower* should be on
the alert for ways of increasing
the quality of the crop and of re
ducing production costs,” the re
port suggests. “This holds true
not only for tobacco but also for
all crops and livestock prcifcta.
Every eligible farmer should
file his AAA performance report
and sign an application bfore the
New Year.
The 1945 domestic crop of
i tobacco is the largest on record,
or about 60 million pounds more
I than last year.
