■ ~ Total Compliance Now Law Of Land North Carolina farmers are now required to stay within their allot ments for every commodity pro duced ih order to be eligible for price supnorts on any commodity and to be eligible for federal cost-sharing under the Agricul tural Conservation Program. Fred R. Keith, Chairman of the state A.SC committee, explains that the Agriculture Act of 1954, recently nassed by Congress, makes across-the-board compli ance the law of the land. Total compliance affects' farm ers in another way. Farmers with more than IP acres diverted from the production of allotment crnu will rot h» able to increase their total plantings of cash crops. This total allotment program, althuogh previously announced oy the Secretary of Agriculture, may be P^eralicod a< a result of drought conditions prevalent throughout the country. The Agi • cultural Act of 15*54., in effect, advised the Secretary to use dis cretion :ii placing total comp'i ance provisions into effect-by m '< injj it on an area basis, avoiding drought areas. Keith reminded Tar Heel farm ers that conservation needs in, this state are too great for any con servation to be lost by lack of knowledge of these requirements o- through other failure to abide bv the requirements. Farm Machines Make Difference Farm labor these days is rela S8IB.1 »3ea\ ‘aAisuadxa Xp.vji more than four times as hig.i as before World War II. During the same period prices of machinery, including tractors have almost doubled, and prices motor supplies, including gaso'ne and other fuels, have increased a' out 50 per cent. Paul Kiser, Gaston County farm agent for the State College Ex tension Service, says the amount of labor saved by “bating nm hires do the work" will continue to be an important consideration in farm planning. Kiser says recent L’SPA figures indicate that for most field crops good deal less labor is now re quired per acre than in the 1910 14 period. The almost complete conversion from horses and mules to tractors, trucks and other ma chines is the main reason for the big drop in labor requirements. The greatest decrease in labor has occurred in the production of small grain- and other crops ssm* larly produced, says Kiser. form for example, now requires only nor cent as much lar.r .as fin ' i(. Tobacco is at the opposite end of the scale. It is chiefly harvest ed by hand and a significant in crease in yield has resulted in more man-hours per acre. How ever, the increase m hours has been more than paid for ov tn crea-es in yield. fhe developmei of practical We new have our FALL SEEDS ready for Delivery.

Field Service is one of seven units of Army Medical Center, the SULPHUR BUTTERFLY To most persons Sulphur But terflies are (jest known as the yel low to orange butterflies that may be seen in flocks clustered on the ground around some roadside pool. So conspicuous are these flocks sometimes that even an amateur may make a safe guess as their identity as he whizzes by iii a speeding automobile. Holland’s "The Butterfly Book" lists eleven nkids of Sulphur But terfly under the gehus t olias and Holland lists two in his simpler "Butterfly Guide’’. Lutz in his Field Book of Insects" lists two species of <. olias and points out that they differ from the common ei better-known Cabbage Butter flies bv having silver-centered spots on the under sides of the •.rings, which spots are lacking m the Cabbage Butterflies. ComstocK in his "Introduction to Kntomology” lists three Sul phur Butterflies, each under a dif ferent genus and none under ‘•Colias''. Klotz in his estimable "Field Guide to the Butterflies" applies the common name of Sul phur Butterfly to eight out of the ten species of folia- he mentions. It Should in' obvious from this that while you can make a good guess at a bunch of butterflies around a irnlhole vo umay get deeply in volved if you try to rationalize ■-imply the literature you will find on them iii tile advance’library. We are not hou too concerned with meticulous details about these butterflies. Kven our artist did not venture a guess as to the species he was drawing but in stead merely listed his subject as belonging to the genus ’Colias". The name Sulphur Butterfly is ii-ed lather promiscuously. While Klotz lists eight species as belong ing in the genus Colias he also considers members of the genus Antens a.- being - Angled•Sulphurs" three members of the genus Phoe bis as being “Jropieal Sulphurs” with two others lumped with them. He gives the common name of "Solohijv" to six of the seventeen species of the genus Kurema which, he groups a- the "Little b or our purpose n<*re w»* mu si mention that all of these butter flies are members' of the family Pieridae which are grouped as the Whites and Sulphurs.

ACMI Head Foresees Flattening Of Boom Or Bust Mill Cycle (Advance) Mt. Holly, N. C., August 30—An early upturn in the cotton textile cycle, as well as better means of coping- in the future with the “boom-and-bust” pattern, were forecast tonight by ' Craig Smith of Sylacauga, Ala., president of the American Cotton i Manufacturers Institute. The ACM I head noted that the’ textile industry is unusally sensi tive to busjness cycles, feeling i them early ami usually pulling out of them early, Hut observed that these' ups and downs, gener- j ally averaging about two years, ! “aren’t quite the boom-and-bust affairs they used to he.” Looking to the future, he said | that “as the textile industry learns to maneuver more quickly and to synchfoniv.c it< production i operations with the shifting moods and habits of buyers, it; existence I is bound to grow more stable and ; the up- ami downs will level out, j ■to the greater comfort of every Mr. Smith, who is president ami treasurer of Avondale Mills, ; spoke at the banquet of the ninth , annual Durene Festival here which hears the name of the yarn pro- i duced in the Mt.

After months of depressed prices, curtailed operations, reduc ed government buying and gener- j :al belt-tightening the cotton tex- j tilt industry “has withstood the shock of retrenchment", he said, and signs now point to an im provement, perhaps substantial, in the near future.

Tn a sense you. can if you apply fertilizer in the fall. t;y rn'ving p’ant fcr.ds in the fall, North Carolina farmers can j • i ireo • limps ahead of the game, j In the first place, fall’s the time when labor and equipment are j more likely to be free; secondly, jour bank account in the post- I •h ,rvest season will probably be i better able to stand an investment i in fertilizer for next year’s crop: and, lastly, the response of crops generally is equal to spring appli Fall fertilization of overwinter ing crops—legumes, grasses, and small grains—gives a double boost I to plants. Crops go into cold Weather in better shape to with stand adverse conditions, and plant nutrients arc right at hand when growth starts in the spring. Growth must be stimulated on pastures for maximum fall and winter grazing. Application of recommended maintenance ferti lizers in the fall will result in longer growing, longer grazing, • r- r quality pasture —- your chepaest source of livestock feed. “It would appear taat some crops like peanuts respond better tr. f t-tili'-er applications made on the cover crop preceding the pea nuts. rather than to a direct ap plication in the row which may re sult in fertilizer injury, or appli cation on top of the ground as the peanuts come through the soil,” say agronomists at North Carolina State College. i The National Fertilizer Associ ation also has otnoc im with some ideas on fall fertilization.
