July 4 Despite the renewed interest in workstock production on North Carolina farms, farmers of this State still have to import 20,000 horses and mules each year to meet replace ment needs, says Fred M. Haig, professor of animal husbandry at N. C. State college. Until recently, practically all workstock was shipped into the State, running up an annual bill of spnroximately 53.500.000. How ever, in the past few years, ''ar mors have spurred a movement to raisA their own horses and mules. This year, as a result of the movement. 3.000 horse colts and " TELL'E/A SEND TWO CASES 1 € m jW^g u : MK.6 .

Principal speakers include Jesse C. Donaldson, Deputy First Assistant Postmaster General, andj President Frank P. Graham of the University. The presidents of the associa tions are pictured above: W. N. Bradford, Sumter, S. C., president of the Carolinas’ (North and South 1,000 mule colts wore born on North Carolnia farms during the spring. Still, Professor Haig said, this number, although encourag ing, ic far below actual replace ment needs. At the present time, the work stock population numbers 70,000 horses and 310,000 mules. Since 15 years is the average life of these animals, it is necessary to replace about 5,000 horses and 20,000 mules each year. Raising a few colts on the farm requires practically no outlay of cash, since the small additional amount of feed required can be raised with little trouble or ex pense. Then, too, the breeding can be timed so that the mare will lose but little time from regular farm duties. “The farmer who does raise a few colts will not have to spend from S3OO to 600 in cash for a new team when his work animals become too old,” the State college man said. “To the average farm er, this represents a considerable sum of money."

Floyd, AAA Executive Says Farmers Must Curtail Battle Over-Production. Raleigh, July 4 Farmers have been growing more flue-cured to bacco than the demand called for, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive offi cer of N. C. State college, said in explaining why growers will vote in a leaf referendum July 20. Consumption of flue-cured to bacco in cigarettes and smoking and chewing tobacco increased a bout 13,000,000 pounds in 1939 over 1938. However, the 1939 crop was nearly 400,000,000 pounds larger than the current estimated level of world consumption. This surplus will continue to depress prices until it can be eliminated. “This is why it is so import ant,” Floyd stated, “that North, Carolina growers should continue their efforts to adjust the supply to the demand under the propos ed 3-year marketing quota pro gram. “Flue-cured tobacco,” he con tinued, “is a benefit to farmers only if it returns an income a bove the expense of growing it. While surplus supplies are on the market, it is less profitable than it should be, and may even be unprofitable. Therefore, the quicker supplies are brought in line with demand, and kept in line, the better farmers’ income from flue-cured tobacco will be.” Floyd quoted J. B. Hutson, assistant AAA administrator, as saying that three years may be needed to eliminate the 1939 sur j plus if consumption remains at ; normal levels with normal yields j and allotments equal to those for 1940.

State Col lege Agronomy department, says ’egumes plus proper fertilization. 1 hold the key to fertile, productive soils. | ■ The most practical method inj building up the productive power i of soils, he explained, calls for| the proper growth and handling, of suitable legume crops in rota-1 tion 1 with properly fertilized ma jor crops. The mere growing of legumes, does not assure added fertility un less these crops are handled pro perly. If the legumes are remov ed from the field, leaving on the land only the stubble and roots their use in this manner alone will prove a delusion so far as | being an effective means of in-1 creasing the producing power of the soil in a permanent way is concerned. Effective methods of increas ing the fertilit of soils, Williams j explained, mnst be thuose that] will leave the soil at the end of j I each year fairly well supplied THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1940 with thoroughly decoomposed or ganic matter and an increasing amount of readily available plant sods. This will be the effect which the proper growth and handling of legumes will have on the land. “Anyone at all familiar with the simple principles of soil man. agement,” Williams said, “knows that fertility cannot be maintain ed when the crops removed taka ■off the land more plant food than are returned to it. That is why it’s so important to turn un der some of the legumes.” The State College Agronomist urged that every farmer adopt a good legume program on his farm. County farm agents of the Extension service will aid in building such a program. o ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS. Pay Your Telephone Bill Bv The 10th
