Emergency crop and feed loans are being made available to North Caro lina farmers again this year, accord ing to information received by Dean I.: O. Schaub, or State College. . These loans, handled through the Farm Credit Administration-, are in' tended for those farmers who cannot obtain from other sources the loans or credit needed to buy seed, fertili ser, and feed. - -' The dean pointed . out that v the loans will be extended only to farm ers who are either cooperating direct ly with the crop adjustment pro grains or else are not planning to increase their 1935 production in any way detrimental to the success ef the uroirrams. Growers wishing to obtain loans may file their applications with the county crop loan committees. Secur ity for the loans will consist of a first lien on the crops to be raised or the livestock to be fed, Dean Schaub stated. The maximum amount of an indi vidual loan will be $500, and the minimum $10. However, no loan will be greater than the amount actually needed to buy seed, fertilizer, or feed. The feed loans will be limited to $10 a head per month for horses and mules during the period when feed must be purchased. Likewise, the amount for other stock has been fixed at $4.50 a head per month for cattle, 50 cents for sheep, 35 cents for goats, $1 for hogs. Those who borrow $100 or less will receive their loan in one payment. Farmers who get more will receive the money in several installments as required to meet their expenses for seed, feed, and fertilizer.

State College. ' 4' . a . Blair cites the case of G E. Calii han, Bladen- County farmer, who raised 1560 pounds of tobacco per acre last year on Bladen sandy loam. During the nine : previous years he averaged 134 pounds to the acre. Last year,. Blair adds, Callihan made a net return of $458 per acre. This sum does not include the tobac co produced - above his allotment, which was destroyed, nor the " rental and benefit payments received from the AAA. ; From 1926 through 1933, Callihan average a profit of $316 an acre from his tobacco in spite' of the fact that twice his SJran was seriously damaged by hail storms end that several years he sold Lis weed when market prices were extremely low. ' Callihaa.' uses a fertilizer low in nitrogen and high in phosphoric acid and potash. Last - year he applied MOD pounds rof 2-9-7, fertilisery mix ed at home, to the acre and 4tlsb a small amount of stable manure. He plants the Cash variety of to bacco, 18 .inches apart in the row, and lets It grow to a height of six feet before topping it.. He uses the ridge system of cultivation, " Blair points out ; - Callihan has been following a two year crop 'rotation, planting tobacco and cowpeas one year and cotton and abruzzi'rye the next 4 The peas and the rye are turned under for soil- buildingf." - i .-- Now that the' leBpedeza has been planted, Ufifon ; County . ; farmers are devoting considerable i attention to ducing sufficient fruit for home use. their orchards with the idea of pro- Plenty of green feed in the way of small grain, rape and kale keeps a healthy, havy producing poultry flock on the farm of C.

CARD OF-THANKS We wish to express our thanks for the many kindnesses extended to us at the time . of the death of Our brother, Charles C. White. For every thoughtful act and every expression of sympathy we are most grateful. THE FAMILY. . I. it MUST WE LOSE THE TREES? Must we widen the northern end of Church street, if to do so causes us to lose the trees? The question is being discussed. It would be interesting to know what the people of the town think of the situation. The State Highway Commission is making plans to widen that part of Church street from the post office to the bridge. True, the street is narrow, but it is beautiful. It wHI net- so-beautiful when those fine old elms are taken down. And they say they are going to have to go. It has been suggested that if no cars were allowed to be parked in that section from the post office to the bridge, we might save the trees; that it wouldn't be necessary to make the street wider. As one man re marked, the road across the bridge, and on, is no wider than that street, and that this is a residential section and never will be a business section. It isn't necessary to park at all on that street. Everybody has a drive way, anyhow. Drop a post card to The Perquim ans Weekly, expressing your views on the subject. Say whether or not you wpuld rather have a wider street without the trees. It will be too late to raise an objection when the work men begin digging up those trees. ; i 5! i t -:.:;-29c f DEL MONTE COFFEE, lb DEL MONTE GRAPEFRUIT JUICE No. 2 Can 10c Pbzen. :.;..$1.10 MARCO PREPARED MUSTARD ' Quart 10c 9 oz. iar....:.......5c ' MISSION TOMATO CATSOT Large BottleX-13V2 oz...:i.
