PERSON FARMER
MAKES HAYI
GOOD CASH CROP
Roxtooro North Carolina far
mers will not only stop buying
hay from other states, but will
produce it as a cash crop if they
follow the advice of B. G. Crump
ton of the Allensville section of
Person County.
H. K. Sanders, county farm
agent of the State College Exten
sion Service, reports that Mr.
Crumpton sold 408 bales of hay
at $1 per bale from a 15-acre field
he treated with lime and super
phosphate for two years. This was
in addition to the 20 tons of hay
unbaled hay stored in his barns.
The cost of seed, labor, lime and
superphosphate was $l5O for the
two-year period, and the 408 bales
produced in 1938 cost 10 cents a
bale, or $40.80 to have baled.
Half of the 15-acre tract was
treated in 1937 and the other half
in 1938, therefore, the annual cost
of seed, labor and fertilizer was
only $75 a year. Mr. Crumpton
saved seed from four or five acres
in additio nto the 20 tons of hay
stored for feed.
The triple superphosphate was
applied at the rate of 100 pounds
per acre, and one ton of lime was
spread on each acre. The land was
seeded to lespedeza and red clo
ver. The lespedeza seed were
home grown, an two bushels of
. the red clover were purchased.
County Agent Sanders quoted
Mr. Crumpton saying: “The com
bination of superphosphate and
lime has meant more in growing
hay Bum anything I ever tried.
I have tried each separately, but
.the combination of the two is
What does the work.”

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
HOLDS KEY POSITION
IN ADMINISTRATION
Eleanor roosevelt
stands behind the President
today as the most influential figure
in his administration, more so than
all the Brain Trusters who are said
to direct the President’s every
move.
This is the opinion of George
Abell, Washington newspaperman,
who, in his article, “The Importance
of Being Eleanor," in the March
Town and Country, compares Mrs.
Roosevelt to a combination of Du
Barry, Cassandra, and Juno, guid
ing the destinies of the country.
“She exercises the persuasiveness
of a Du Barry, the far-sightedness
of a Cassandra, and the domineering
qualities of a Juno to push her pet
ambitions along the legislative road
to success,” Abell says. And, most
important of all, she has the Presi
dent’s utmost confidence.
It may not be well known that
Mrs. Roosevelt was directly respon
sible for the appointment of Frances
Perkins as Secretary of Labor. The
two women got along swimmingly
for a while, but now the story goes
in Washington that the First Lady
is thoroughly displeased with her
choice. She demands, Mr. Abell says,
absolute obedience from her ap
pointees. Others who got their posts
through Mrs. Roosevelt’s influence
are Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, Minis
ter to Denmark; Mrs. Daisy Harri
man, Minister to Norway, and Jose
phine Roche, chairman of the execu
tive committee of the National
Youth Administration.
That the President’s inner circle
has long recognized Eleanor as an
invaluable ally goes without saying.
The favorite slogan of Tommy th4
Cork and Ben Cohen, according to
Mr. Abell, is “Let’s ask Eleanor
Roosevelt first.” They were among
the earliest to climb aboard the
bandwagon. Eleanor acts as their
intermediary. She gauges the Presi
dent’s moods, then advises them how
to act, when and where to consult
him. Mr. Abell is lavish in his praise
of her expert salesmanship.
Small wonder, therefore, the
author concludes, that Mrs. Roose
velt terrifies many of those who seek
the President’s favor, what with her
uncanny ability to grasp ideas and
her knowledge of what goes on. She
fears no one in Washington except
one cabinet member—Secretary of
the Interior Harold lekes. The rea
son for this stumps the writer,
