Will We Be Able To Keep Our Feet On The Ground? By Guy A. Cardwell, ' A. C. L. Agricult, and Industrial Agt. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture, issued the follow ing statement on March 16th: Farm Products Demand and Prices Strengthen Continued strong demand and > slightly higher prices for a number of farm products dur ing the near future were fore cast today by the' Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Prices of grains and cattle are a little higher than a month ago, hog prices are about, the same and cotton prices have , advanced. A few commodities are priced lower. During the next thirty days the Bureau expects prices of feed grains, hogs, wool, butter \ and eggs to fluctuate around current levels, and prices of cattle, lambs, poultry, fruits and ptoatoes to advance. Continued strong demand for farm products is indicated by the good outlook for industrial production and consumer in comes, the Bureau pointed out. Barring extended labor dispu tes, a further improvement in industrial activity during the next few months was forecast. Some highlights in the agri cultural situation are the great ly reduced supplies of wheat .. in surplus-producing countries, relatively rapid disappearance of small feed grain supplies, increased exports of American cotton, an increase in slaughter supplies of hogs in late April and May, higher prices for the better grades of slaughter cat tle, and somewhat higher pric es for spring lambs. The Bueau said that relative ly small increases in numbers of milk cows are in prospect this year and next, that the season al decline in egg prices seems to be about over, that prices of » all fruits except strawberries are likely to advance more than usual during the spring months, and that present indications point to increased supplies and * generally lower prices of most truck crops.” What will be the reaction of the Southern farmer to this re port of conditions and the fore cast of early future conditions? Will he be wise and go ahead with his plans to build a well balanced farming system while he is in financial condition to do this, or will he let his de sire for cotton money influence him to expand his cotton acre age and abandon other crop and - livestock plans? While traveling over some of the cucumber growing sections in South Carolina recently I heard on all sides that the cu . cumber acreage would probably be curtailed, because of advanc ing cotton prices. Cucumber growers have had hard sledding for several years due to adverse weather; but this may be the year for a good yield of good quality cucum bers, and a reasonably strong demand. Some years ago cucum bers, were one of our best pay ing truck crops, and I believe they still have a place in the scheme of things. ' Cotton is fine if supported by other crops, but cotton alone or any other one crop is too haz ardous to contemplate with an easy state of mind. Personals Mr. and Mrs. B. M.

Subscribe to the Enterprise, $1 LESPEDEZA FURNISHES GOOD CROPPING SYSTEM Lespedeza can be made to serve as the hub for a good cropping system for conserving soil and water on the farm, ac cording to H. M. Stott, agono mist of the Soil Conservation Service. Although seed bed prepara tion is not necessary where les pedeza is seeded in small grai$, he said best results will be se cured if the seed is run over lightly with a drag harrow. If seeding is done on land not in small grain, the seed bed should be disked well before the lespe deza is sown. Upon the advice of the State College Extension Service and the Soil Conservation Service many farmers are planning to retire land to pasture. Since much of this land is too poor to produce grasses and clovers necessary for a good sod, Stott recommended the planting of lespedeza, which will build up the fertility of the soil to a point where it will support a pasture sod and at the same time provide a limited amount of grazing. Seeding lespedeza is also one of the first important steps in the preparation of land for strip-cropping, alternate strips being seeded to lespedeza be tween strips of row crops. STATE COLLEGE TO GET ON BROADCAST NETWORK Microphones of the National Broadcasting Company will be set up in Raleigh Wednesday as State College joins the parade of Land Grant Colleges in bringing to listeners a story of how the institution has aided in meeting changing conditions.
