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. Durham Agent Gets Trip Top-ranking contestants dur ing 1937 were announced recent ly and have just returned from a visit to the nation’s capital. They were: J. R. Redding, Negro farm agent of Granville County !for making the most outstanding re cord among colored farm agents in the contest, J. H. Johnson, Halifax County, for making the highest corn yield; and the twin brothers, John and James pro ducing the highest com yield a mong Negro 4-H Club members. | The grou making the trip was in charge of T.

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- WE ARE FITTED for the pursuit of our vocation because every thought and act is dominated by sin cerity; business pro priety fits us for the pursuit of our calling. ► WOODY’S FUNERAL HOME "Home of Friendly Service” 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. o James Stewart To Appear With Ginger Rogers Rapidly becoming one of Hol lywood foremost leading - men, James Stewart plays one of his most important roles opposite Ginger Rogers in “Vivacious Lady," a new screen comedy.
