lectricity Costs Farmers ■; More Than They Receive f Balks Chief Cause of Loss, It Is Pafetod Ottt By Rsral El > ectrlfleation Specialist Many North Carolina farm families are pairing for more electricity than they use, ac cording1.'to P. E. Jones, rural electrification specialist, State . College. I This is due to the small use I of cnrrent in some homes [ where there is a minimum charge per month, he explain ed. For example, one large pow ' er company serving rural areas a minimum charge based on the cost of 60 kilowatt hours r per month. At least half its ru ral customers use less than 50 k.w.h., Jones stated. These homes could have bet ter lights and more electrical I appliances without paying any more for curent, he pointed out. Instead of using 25 or 40 watt light bulbs, as some farm families do, they could use 60, 75, or 100-watt lamps for the same cost. Bulbs are inexpen sive, and the better bulbs would only be making use of current that must be paid for anyway. Jones also emphasized the fact that low-power ’ bulbs do not give adequate light for reading, sewing, or other simi lar purposes, and as a result f they cause eye-strain. Even when better bulbs and extra equipment increase the electric bill a small amount each month, the better light and increased enjoyment of electrical conveniences is more than worth the added cost, he continued. Jones also said that al though 5,558 miles of new pow er lines have been proposed to serve 30,434 rural customers, the actual number who receive the service may be somewhat less, as V certain percentage of the families fail to wire their homes after power has been made available in their com munities.

NO CURE BUT TOBACCO MOLD CAN BE CHECKED No one has been able to dis cover a sure-cure for blue mold ,the disease that costs to bacco growers thousands of dollars a year. There are a number of things growers can do to lessen the damage blue mold does to their plant beds, however, says Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant, pathologist at State College. | Locate the seed beds in warm' places where the sun can shine on them all day long. When possible, make new beds some distance away from the old ones. If old beds must be used again, first burn or steam the soil to kill the disease organ isms. i Before seedlings appear in the new beds, destroy all hold over or volunteer tobacco plants that come up in the old beds. Sow more seed than needed, so that if some of the seedlings are damaged, there will still be a supply of healthy plants. Several small beds scattered over the farm are safer than one large bed. Sow the beds early, but not too thickly, as a moderate stand of plants gives the best results. As soon as weather permits, remove the canvas covers dur ing the day to let in suhshine and fresh air. If necessary to speed the growth of diseased plants, water them with a solu tion of nitrate of soda. Transplant the seedlings be fore blue mold appears. If the disease attacks them, leave them in the seed bed until they recover. Don’t set out diseas ed plants. Spraying them is a waste of time and money. Grower who wish further information may secure it in extension circular No. 207, “Approved Practices in Hand ling Tobacco Plant Beds”, which may be obtained free from the agricultural editor at State College, Dr. Shaw point ed out.

FOUR POINT SSAFETY PROGRAM PUBLISHED Raleigh, Jan. 20.—(Special). —A four point program of ac tivities in traffic accident con trol for communities of all sizes was released today by the North Carolina Department of Revenue's Division of High way Safety with the publica tion of a 48 page traffic safety manual, “Creating Safer Com munities". Copies of the book, of which there are now only a limited number, will be mailed this week to city and town offi cials, police executives, school authorities, judges, officers of civic organizations and out standing citizens interested in traffic accident prevention. All will be urged to consider the application of the plan to their own communities. They will be asked to fit it into traffic safety activities now in opera tion or to use it as a basis for safety programs under consid eration.. In a foreword to the publica tion, the Division of Highway Safety pledges its cooperation and assistance to groups work ing for traffic accident preven tion, and recommends the use of “Creating Safer Communi ties” as a guide to community activity. The four basic features of the suggested program include the preparation and use of ac cident facts, the extension of child and adult education, im proved enforcement of traffic laws and better engineering for traffic safety. The organi zation of a Citizens’ Traffic Control Committee where no such committee now exists is called for. This committee is urged to work in close cooper ation with municipal and town authorities, is urged to work to work in close cooperation with municipal and town authori ties, the police, the schools and the courts. Where possible, the appointment - of the com mittee’s chairman by the may or or corresponding authority is recommended. Commenting on the publica tion of “Creating Safer Com munities”, Arthur Fulk, Direc tor of the Division of Highway Safety, said today: "The pro gram outline in “Creating Saf er Communities” represents the combined efforts of experts on the all important subject of traffic safety. It is a suggest ed method of procedure and is issued in answer to numerous demands that informative ma terial be prepared as a guide to community safety work. We earnestly hope that the sug gestions contained in the man ual will prove valuable not on^ ly where no organized commun ity activity has yet been start ed but also where such work is already under way.” “Venus Didn’t Diet”, a short fiction story by the famous hu mosits, Frank Leon Smith, in which a flock of turtles play the unaccustomed roles of cu pids.

Poe Strikes Core Of Farm Policy Two-Armed Farming Essential If Agriculture la To Profit la Sooth By Goy A. Cardwell Clarence Poe is off to a good start in the New Year. Dr. Poe, the widely known President anfi Editor of the Progressive Farmer and Southern Ruralist, is still and again advocating “two-armed farming” for the Southern states, and insisting that the “South must feed it self”. I have for many years joined with Dr. Poe and others in urging that the Southern far mer should practice balanced farming; not simply diversified farming; but mixed farming, with sufficient feed and live stock to furnish the needed balance to the cash crop sys tem. I am, therefore, taking the liberty of liberally quoting from Dr. Poe’s letter, addres sed to subscribers, in the Jan uary 1937 isftue of the Pro gressive Farmer, in spite of the wide circulation of this farm magazine: for the Infor mation and advice in Dr. Poe’s letter is of such vital import ance that it should be empha sized and kept before rural people and those interests conr trolling farm-financing in the cotton, tobacco, peanut and truck growing sections, in or der that “two-armed farming” may be put to work to improve the economic condition of all Southern people. Dr. Poe says: “The Farmers and Farmers’ Wives Must Make More Money”. South must feed itself both in order to help our families maintain a standard of living in keeping with an automobile age, and also to help each of us make his or her contribution to a finer Southern civilization, every subscriber needs now to ask himself: “How can my family and I earn this greater farm income in 1937 and in all the years to come?” First of all, in my opinion, the South must quit payihg freight costs and middlemen’s costs on Northern and Western farm products we could grow ourselves. Take North Caroli na, for example. It is probably better off in this respect than other Southern States whose cotton production is larger, yet the state agricultural college reported some time ago that of the food and feed products us ed in North Carolina the state imported from the North and Globe THEATRE ROSE HILL, N.

What we primarily need, of course, is not simply a “live at home” policy so far as practi cable for each individual farm, but we need to go further and supply also the needs of South ern towns and cities. “Two car loads of Northern milk go into that little town each week”, we heard recently about a mu nicipality in the heart of a fer tile farm area. In South Car olina recently, Clemson Col lege made two surveye each of which showed that 40 to 46 percent of the eggs used in South Carolina come from states farther north—states where climate is less favor able to egg production than its own. Two-a r m e d farming: We have naturally got to quit de pending on any “one-crop sys tem”, but we must go further. We have got to quit depending on any “Crops System”, no matter how many crops it in cludes. As The Progressive Farmer has so often insisted, there are two great arms for producing agricultural wealth: 1. Plant Production—any and all kinds of crops. 2. Animal Production—live estock dairying, poultry rais ing, etc. It is the curse of the South that we depend primarily on a one-armed system of farming— plant production alone. Take the 15 richest states in the Un ion and compare them with our 15 Southern States and what do we find? In the latest year for which I have compiled statistics these richest of all states pro duced only about the same crop values as our Southern States. In plant production we were not materially behind them. In -• > . --.-‘I'lgunas animal production, however, they were 209 percent ahead of ua—and hence 400 pe“ ahead of us in wealth per family. These richest had a two-armed system plant production and production almost equally anced. For each $5 they dues in crop values duce $4.10 on livestock But here in the South for each $6 in crop values we produce only $1.76. in livestock values. “The Thunder Dragee Gate'% a new fiction serial of love, ad venture and intrigue In terious Tibet by Talbot dy, beginning in The Weekly with next Washington Herald.—adv. : A CLEAN SHAVE {Your morning shave will be a delight to you if you use one of our keen-edged razors.
