CARDWELL’S OLUMN By GUY A. CARDWELL, Agricultural & Industrial Agent, A. C. L. Railroad Co. IT IS TIME TO INCREASE OUR LIVESTOCK POPULA TION The University of North Carolina News Letter, Febru ary 20th, 1935 issue calls at tention to the fact that North Carolina continues to rank near the bottom among the States in livestock. In total value of all major forms of livestick on farms in 1935 North Carolina ranks 19th, South Carolina 33 and Virginia 26th. This rating means little however, as on a farm basis the rank would be nearer the bottom and in per centage of income derived from livestock and livestock products we are probably still worse off. The Carolinas show a large mule population and a small horse population, while Vir ginia has a large horse popu lation and a small mule popu lation. However, the Cayoli nas do not produce either horses or mules in worthwhile numbers and the total value of these animals represents wealth that has gone to horse and mule raising states to pay for this work stock. Quoting from the News Let ter: “For the United States the value of cattle, hogs, and sheep is far ahead of the value of mules and horses. For North Carolina the value of mules and horses is two and a quar ter times the total value of cat tle, hogs, and sheep. Ag^in there are only four states where the ratio of mules and horses, or work animals, to meat and milk animals is high er than in North Carolina. Once in a blue moon the ex tremely highly commercialized non-food cash crop system of central and eastern North Car olina does bring in cash. Ex perience shows that the cash does not long stick to the palms that sweat it out, and that the standard of living quickly reverts to a low level. If our splendid cash crops could be coordinated with en ough livestock of the meat and milk variety to give the farm ers at least a balanced ration the situation would he great ly improved. It is doubtful if this will ever occur in an area of overwhelming tenancy as in eastern North Caroling, prob-. ably the most deficient meat and milk area of all farm re gions in America.” We should review our lasts and adjust them rather than to dwell on our firsts. It would be helpful to recall from time to time the words of that in spired Georgian, Henry W. Grady, in speaking of indepen dent farmers. “When every farmer in the South shall eat bread from his own fields and meat from his own pastures and, disturbed by no creditors and enslaved by ,no debt, shall sit down among his teaming gardens and or chards and vineyards and his dairies and barnyards, pitch ing his crops in his own wis dom and growing them in in dependance, making cotton his clean surplus, and selling it in his own time in his chosen | market and not at a master’s 'bidding; getting his pay in cash and not in a receipted mortgage that discharges the debt but does not restore his freedom—then shall be break ing the fullness of our day.” To Mr. Grady’s colorful creed should be added that harsh statement of a former Gover no rof North Carolina, Thom as W. Bickett—harsh because of his desire for the improve ment of the condition of the people who had honored him: “If I were the Czar of North Carolina instead of the Gov ernor, I would issue an edict declaring that from and after five years from date any man who imported into North Car olina any corn or meal, wheat or flour, beef or bacon, should, be forthwith hanged and with out benefit of clergy. Of course, in the beginning I should be denounced as an in famous tyrant, but after the law had been in effect for ten years the richest state in the union would build a monument to me as the financial redeemer of my people.” NATIONAL FORESTS TO COVER A LARGE AREA Washington, May 12.—The Federal program for conver sion of lands into forests in North Carolina is proceeding so gradually that few realize that the program already defi nitely mapped out contemplates the placing of a very large por tion of the State’s area into national and State forests. The fact is that it is pro posed to place no less than 20 per cent of the entire State in to forests. The Forestry Ser vice of the Department of Ag riculture has prepared color ed maps showing the long term program, which will extend ov er a period of years. When and if the entire pro gram is put into execution, practically all of the region west of Asheville will be series of national forests and forests under private ownership, but operated in cooperation with and under the Supervision of the national government, with a goodly sized sprinkling of State forests. Contemplated forests also occupy a consider able area in other portions of the State. The area of North Carolina is 38,740 square miles or 43, 293,600 acres. Land that has actually been placed into na tional forests amounts to 1, 143,800 acres or about 5 per cent of the whole. It is pro Magnolia News Messrs. K. L. and E. S.

It is proposed that the pre sent State forest area of 66, 000 acres be increased by an additional 1,222,000 acreB. | To aid North Carolina and other States to corry out the( program for State forests, the, house Committee on Agricul ture has reported favorably the Fulmer bill providing for loans to the States of $20,000,000. -That bill is now pending be fore the House Committee on Rules and is expected to be given a preferential position on the House calendar next week. Representative J. Bay ard Clark, of North Carolina! held the bill up in order that I he might learn more about the program. Friends of the measure sug gested that Mr. Clark call at! the Forestry Service and ob tain the desired information. Mr .Clark made the counter suggestion that they come to see him. They came today and with them brought all of the data on the subject and one of the varicolored maps showing the North Carolina of the fu ture. ! The map indicates that when the program shall have been completed the reduction of the number of counties in North Carolina will be automatic. Counties which would be practically absorbed by for ests are Graham, Cherokee, Swain, Macon, Jackson, Hay wood, Mitchell ami Avery, sev eral of which have already been greatly reduced by acqui sition of the Great Smoky Smoky Mountain National Park. In addition the program would cover very large por tions of all of the other moun tain counties and very sub stantial portions of the fol lowing counties in other sec tions of the State: Caswell, Person, Orange, Montgomery, Anson, Richmond, Bladen, Tyr rell, Brunswick and Hyde. Counties affected to a lesser extent include Chatham, Dur ham, Sampson, Pasquotank, Washington and Harnett.

WALLACE, N. C. W ashingtonNews For U. S. Farmers Wheat Growers To Vote. Farmers as Exporters. April Rains Relieve. Farm Exports Decrease. Wheat fanners on the 25th of this month will express themselves on a new wheat production agreement to take the place of the present one which expires with this year’s crop. While the voting in some sec tions may be a week earlier most of the growers will have the opportunity to express themselves next week. Pre parations for the referendum have been about completed and many meetings are being held to explain, discuss and debate the present program. It is pointed out that the normal yield of the potential acreage in this country is far above the domestic needs and that, in recent years, in spite of low prices, foreign tariffs, quotas and other bars to ex port, there has not been a suf ficient demand for anything like normal production. Ex ports estimate that if we de cide to give up our foreign wheat markets entirely we will have to retire 8,500,000 acres of wheat land permanently. Moreover, advocates. of the present system point out that the processing tax is to do for wheat growers what our tariff laws do for manufacturers, al low them to get more for their product from domestic consum era. The present outlook is that the growers will favor a new program by a considerable ma jority. There is opposition, of course. Some is political and some is from the processing and distributing middlemen, who want volume above all else. Moreover, there are dis gruntled wheat growers, dis satisfied with some detail of the present program, who feel that whftle the program may be fair in principle, they have been discriminated against. • * * Francis B. Sayre, Assistant Secretary of State in charge of ‘the negotiation of reciprocal trade agreements, recently pointed out that even in 1933, when our foreign sales had shrunken, we exported 66 per cent of our cotton, 39 per cent of our leaf tobacco, 25 per cent of lard, 25 per cent of our pre pared milk, 46 per cent of our dried fruits, 28 per cent of our canned fruits, 58 per cent of our turpentine, 41 per cent of our refined cotton and 71 per cent of our resin. This, he suggests, is quite a stake for the farmer in foreign trade. He estimates that elim ination of our export trade would mean that 40,000,000 acres of land must be aban doned and that 3,200,000 of the farm population must get money from somewhere else to live. * * * The month of April brought COMMON CAUSE OF BALDNESS tlw cMtl w «.nw hair __ ' oTcKhttan to <h* plentiful rains to the northern great Plains, including Wyom ing and northern Colorado al though the drought still pen stated at the end of the month from southwestern Kansas and southeastern Colorado to Tex as and New Mexico, according to the Weather Bureau map. More rain is needed, howev er, in Montana and western North Dakota and in parts of Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas, where some rain fell. Generally, the Great Plains States are in far better, shape than at the end of April in 1934, 1932, and 1931, although more rainfall is needed to re plenish subsoil moisture. In other parts of the nation there was about normal rain fall, with enough rain falling to break a dry spell which threatened to cause drought conditions along the Gulf and South Atlantic coast. Farm 'exports in March dropped to 45 per cent of the pre-war volume, according to a recent release of the Bureau o f Agricultural Econonfics, which points out that this com pares with 75 per cent in March of last year and 67 per cent in 1933. Exports of cotton, for nine months ending March 31, were 4,068,000 bales as compared with 7,176,000 bales same per iod of the previous year and total exports of wheat and flour were 7,632,000 bushels, or 36 per cent less than in the corresponding months of 1933 34.
