IF HE’S IN HEAVEN,
AGENT CAN’T LOCATE
Dean I. O. Schaub, director of
the State Qollege Extension
Service, Was chuckling over a
story yesterday which had to do
with county agents and acreage
allotments.
It seemed that an agent in a,
nearby county notified the
Washington AAA office that one
of the farmers in his county who
cooperated under the soil
conservation program , had died.
However, the Federal headquart
ers paid no attention to the let
ter and kept writing every few
days for information on the way
the farmer had planted certain
crops. The agent again notified
Washington that the man was
dead. Still more letters for the
dead man came in.
In desperation, the agent final
ly sat down and wrote:
“Gentlemen:
“As I have told you several
times before, Mr. Jones is dead.
Therefore) I really don't know
how to reach him. He’s not in
hell; that I am sure, for I have
been there myself for the past
thirty days. I have abandoned
all hope of that other place, so
if you have to reach him there,
it might be a good idea for you
to get in touch with someone
else.”
Interest Revived
In Corn Breeding
Negro Farmers Producing Hy
brid Types Extension Ser
vice Has Contest
Raleigh, May 15 Within the
past two or three years, there has
been an awakened interest in
the production of hybrid corn
among negro farmers, according
to C. R. Hudson, veteran farm
demonstration worker at State
College.
Experiments have shown that
hybrid com of good parentage
will produce, under favorable
conditions, from 10 to 12 per
cent greater yields than will or
dinary inbred strains.
Caution Sounded
Hudson, who is in charge of
negro extension work, is warn
ing colon.d farmers that such 1
hybrids are recommended for
planting for only one year. In
other words, the farmers will
have to buy or grow new seed
every year if they are to secure
the best yields.
He is also cautioning farmers
against buying mixed corn under
the impression that it is hybrid.
Each year the extension ser
vice conducts a corn-growing
contest among Negro farmers
for the purpose of promoting the
production of more and better
corn. Winners in the contest are
awarded a trip to Washington, D.
C.

Differences Noted
In Farm Programs
State College Man Points To Com
pulsory Features Os Cur
rent Act
Raleigh, N. C. Many farm
ers have been asking what is the
difference between the 1937 and
the 1938 AAA farm program,
said E. Y. Floyd, of State Col
lege.
Last year, he said by the way
of explanation, growers were of
fered a voluntary agricultural
conservation prognam jdesign(ed
to encourage good farming prac
tices that would help them im
prove their farms.
This program offered payments
for restricting the acreage of
cash crops and for carrying out
soil-building practices such as
growing legumes, terracing, ap
plying lime and superphosphate.
Few Changes
The 1937 agricultural conser
vation program was carried over
into 1938 with only a few minor
changes.
In addition, a compulsory crop
control program was provided by
congress for cotton and tobacco
in 1938. Under the compulsory
program, each grower is given a
marketing quota.
Growers are asked to produce
and sell all the cotton and to
bacco allotted them in their
quotas. But if they exceed their
quotas, penalties will be impos
ed.
Cotton and tobacco growers
voted for compulsory crop con
trol to keep production from go-

ing so far ahead of consumption
that it would demoralize the
market and depress prices.
It was feared that the voluntary
agricultural conservation pro
gram by itself was not strong e
nough to place an effective res
triction on cotton and tobacco
this year.
