Progress Under National Farm Program Being Felt Raleigh, September 12.—The story of agriculture in North Caro lina during the past seven years under the National Farm Program is a story of more income, more! conservation, and more security, says Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the State College Extension Serv ice. “What’s more important,” he declared, “is that it has been a democratic program, with the farmers helping to run things.” Here are some of the facts and i figures Dr. Schaub cited in -re-j porting on the progress: The cash; income of North Carolina farm ers was 148 per cent higher in : 1939 than in 1932; buying powe~ increased 231 percent from 1932; ; farm real estate values in 1940 1 are 6 per cent above those of 1933; 2,013 acres of 1940 wheat was protected by crop insurance; : the Farm Credit Administration • agencies loaned $78,366,676 from 1933 to 1939; debts of low-income farmers were reduced $970,707 ' under Farm Security Adminis tration debt adjustment service; I and 31,102,000 pounds of surplus 1 foodstuffs were distributed to ’ needy families in the last fiscal 1 year. Under conservation, 228,400 North Carolina farmers partici pated in the 1933 AAA program, representing about 67 per cent of the State’s cropland. Participa tion is even higher in 1940 In 1939 a total of 969,113 acres of North Carolina farm land was covered by 5-year agreements with the Soil Conservation Serv ice During 1939 a total of 1,175,- 800 trees were planted with Fed eral assistance. Farmers are also more secure in their homes. From 1935 to 1940 15,824 farm families receiv ed rural rehabilitation loans totaling more than $7,670,000, and 8461,730 in grants were made druing the same period. Four hundred and nineteen tenant families started toward owner ship by loans for farm purchases, and 4,912 miles of rural electric lines to serve 20,878 farm famili es was made possible by allot ments of the Rural Electrifica tion Administration. “All of this was in North Caro lina, and such progress will con tinue,” Dr. Schaub asserted. o F S A FAMILIES DOING GOOD JOB OVER CAROLINA Rehabilitation Borrowers Are Repaying Their Debts In Satisfactory Manner. North Carolina farm families on the Farm Security Adminis tration program are tugging hard at the bootstraps of opportunity, and slowly lifting themselves cut of debt and up to self-supporting status. One hundred and eighty-six low income farm families increas ed their net worth by 27 per cent and reduced their debts owed to all others outside FSA by 15 per cent during 1939. This program was shown by an analysis of 186 record books which each of the 15,000 families on the FSA rehabilitation pro gram must keep, according to Joe Y. Blanks, FSA supervisor for Person county. While this is a small sample, Mr. Blanks said it was considered a fair indication of what all families are doing. FSA loans for the purchase of tools, seed, fertilizer, livestock and workstock, and for farm im provements. Each family follows a planned operation of farm and home, worked out between the family and the FSA farm and home management supervisors. Dual purpose of this plan is sub sistence for the family and con servation of soil and water re sources. FSA announced recently that rehabilitation borrowers were repaying their debts to Farm Se curity Administration satisfact orily .having repaid about 83 per cent of maturities, and its survey indicates they are making defin- FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED , Question: When should I apply ground agricultural limestone to * my land? | Answer: The best time to ap ' ply lime is from three months to one year before seeding le gumes. If lime is spread on this far ahead, it will have sufficient time to contact acid in the soil particles and counteract it. The application of lime to cultivated land should be made after plow ing, and the material should be mixed with the topsoil. Little be- j nefit may be expected if the lime stone is plowed under before be ing mixed properly with the top soil. On pastures it is necessary only to scatter the lime on top of the sod. However, better results will be secured if it is worked in with a light harrowing. Question: When should cotton be picked: Answer: To avoid losses in grade and staple, pick cotton promptly and frequently, but not while green or wet. Store the S2ed cotton in a dry place and stir it frequently to prevent heating. At the gin, demand slow and careful ginning to asure smooth prepara tion. To maintain purity of vari ety, dump the rolls, clean the gin, and catch the planting seed at the breast. The planting seed should be stored in a dry build ing. Question: Does it pay to ferti lize winter cover crops? Answer: Fertilization of cover crops pays by increasing the feed ing value, and by increasing the fertility value of the cover crop. Experience has shown that by using fertilizer under winter leg umes and' plowing the legume •crop under in the spring, using no. fertilizer on the following crop, good yields have been se cured. In fact, the yields were greater than vdhere no fertili zer was applied to the cover crop but an equal amount of the same analysis fertilizer applied after the unfertilized legume was plow ed under. ite progress in reducing their to tal debt burden. o ADVERTISE IN TIMES FOR FOR RESULTS.

The railroads have no authority in school mat ters, but they make a tremendous though little known contribu tion to public education. For example, in 1939 they paid more than one hundred million dollars in school taxes—taxes that paid for the schooling of 1,300,000 American children.

Last year, this railroad paid approximately $1,000,000 in county school taxes alone in two of the six states it serves. And this represented more than 50 per cent of the railroad's tax bill in those counties. The amount of school taxes the railroads pay depends upon the amount of business they handle. When the rail roads lose business to their competitors—com petitors who pay little or nothing toward the support of schools—their taxes decrease. That means a cut in your school budget or an increase in your taxes. So, when you get ready to ship freight or take a trip, it's good sense on your part to patronize this big taxpaying citizen of your community.
