Corporation Buys Farm
Tract At Statesville
Statesville, July 14.—The North
Carolina Rural Rehabilitation cor
poration has recently purchased a
tract of land Including 783 acres
east of Statesville, known as the Pat
terson farm. The purchase was
made with the agreement that ten
ants on the land at present are not
to be disturbed until the completion
of this year’s crop. However, approx
imately 100 acres of idle land in thie
tract is being upt into cultivation im
mediately. The corporation is con
centrating farm equipment and sev
eral head of stock at the farm and
this idle land is being planted to soy
beans, peas and other soil conserv
ing crops.
Announcement as to plans for the
use of the farm will be made later
by the directors of the rehabilitation
corporation.
The largest Roman Catholic chur
ch is St. Peter’s, in Rome. The seat
ing capacity can hardly be estima

of corridors and halls. The building
covers four acres of ground.

Use Farm Woodland In
Erosion Control
On the 41,000 acre erosion control
project on the Stony Creek water
shed in Alamance county, the Soil
Conservation Service is working out
a woodland management plan for fah
mers cooperating in the erosion-con
trol program.
The present stand of the timber is
iu general very poor, and the tim
ber owners have shown very little
consideration for their woodlands, al
lowing indiscriminate cutting, burn
ing and grazing to be carried on. re
ported E. B Dahl, project forester.
The woodland management pro
gram will consist of timberstand im
provement demonstrations on sev
eral of the farms owned by coopera
tors in the soil erosion control pro
gram. These demonstratious plots
vary in size up to five acres, and
show the proper methods of thinning
and cleaning out undesirable species
poorly formed, diseased, fire-scarred
dead and damaged trees, said Dahl.
"The primary objective of our
forestry work," said Dahl, "is to
show the effectiveness of forests in
controlling erosion, ur.d how the in
dividual landowners, by considering
timber as a crop, can increase the
income of the farm.’
Cotton Growers Receive
$1,033,278 In Payments
North Carolina farmers have re
ceived more than $1,033,278 in cot
ton price adjustment payments on
their 1935 crop.
Payments upto that amount had
been certified by July 2, said Dean
I. O. Schaub, of State College, with!
checks beTn£ distributed to farmers
as fast as the payments are certifi
ed.
These payments are given growrs,
selling their 1935 cotton at times
when the average price of 7-8 inch
middling cotton was less than 12
cents a pound on the ten spot mar
kets of the country.
The payments to each grower a
mounts to the differences between
that average price and 12 cents a
pound on the day he sold h_. ootton
except that in no event could the |
payments be more than two cents a
pound.
The dean added that the work of !
checking and certifying applications
for payments is being "carried out as
rapidly as possible, and that North
Carolina farmers will continue to
receive their checks a few days after
ceritification.
He reminded growers who have ■
not yet Applied for cotton adjust
ment payments that no applications
will be accepted after August 15. :
“That is the deadline, and no ex
tension of time will be granted.” he '
asserted.
Payments received by growers in
Cleveland county have amounted to
$131,137.97.

Better Cabbage
In Western N. C.:
In a number of Western North |
Carolina communities, farmers are
buildinf up a cabbage growing in- j
dustry that .promises to become one '
of their man sources of cash income. ;
So successful have they been, said
H, R. Mawonger, extension horticul
turist at State College, that their |
crop is now pointed to as a model .
for other growers.
About five years ago, he went on,
a quarter of a pound of Danish Bail
Head cabbage seed was introduced 1
to farmers In the Scaley section of 1
Macon county. The strain is well a- :
dapted to the area, and is iu strong
market demand.
•More and more farmers began to ,
use the se»d until this year 400 lbs ,
cf Dan -h Bail Head seed were dis
tribute*! to over 100 farmers in that
section and nearby communities.
Nisw tiger also pointed out that
demonstrations in cultural and fer
tilization practices conducted by the
extension service have greatly in- i
creased tfie quality and the yield of j
the cabbage crop.
Formerly, the plants were set 18
inches apart in the rows and fertili
sed with U000 pounds of a 5-7-."> mix
ture to the acre. The plants are now
set 12 to 14 inches apart and fertili
zed with 600 pouuds of a 3-8-C mix
ture, plus a side dressing of nitrate
of soda three to four weeks after
the plants have been set.
The new strain of cabbage and
ed the yield by 3,200 to 4,000 pounds
the better cultufal practices increas
per acre. Then, too, the growers save
the difference in cost between 1,000
pounds of 5-7-5 and 600 pounds of
3-8-6.
There is a strong demand for this
cabbage, as buyers like the small,
compact, heavy heads, Niswonger
added.
Similar results have been obtained
in Jackson, Avery. Watauga, Alle
ghany. Ashe. Henderson, and Trans
ylvania counties.
