FALL CABBAGE

( Clemson College, June 4.-Making
shade with one crop while another
is taking hold is like one fellow
working while another sleeps; beans
and cabbage or cowpeas and cabbage
work we'll together and result in a
good crop Of cabbage says Geo. p.
Hoffman, Extension Horticulturist,
in suggesting how to overcome the
difficulty Of getting the fall cabbage
crop well started. :.
For the fall crop the Succession,
Charleston Wakefield, or Early
Jersey Wakefield, and for very late
fall and winter use the Late Flat
Dutch or Danish Ballhead, should
be planted in a well prepared seed
bed the last week in May or the
first week in June.
The great trouble with growing
cabbage successfully for fall and
early winter use is to find some
means of keeping the hot sun from
hurting them until the plants are
well under way. A common method
is to plant double rows Of string
beans, twelve inches apart with a
space of three feet between these
double rows, and to set the cabbage
near the double rows so that the
bean vines will shade the cabbage
plants. After the beans reach ma
turity the vines may be pulled out
and the entire space given to the
cabbage, which at that time should
be we'll under way.

keting, sat silent in meeting after
meeting while Sapiro told the grow
ers that no system could be worse
than the auction sale Of tobacco under
which tobacco farmers have averaged
only $340. a year income as COM
pared to the income of s1560. year
which our government states as
necessary to maintain q decent stan
dard of living for the average Ameri-
can family.
More than ten thousand farmers
heard Sapiro during his five days
tour of Eastern North Carolina. At
least $4,000 other tobacco growers
were present at meetings held in %
other towns of the Eastern belt last
week where five Kentucky leaders of
the Burley Tobacco Growers Coop
erative Association convinced the far
mers beyond doubt of the success
of the Kentucky Burley Pool.
"The minute the first payment of
eight cents a pound was made to our
Kentucky Growers upon delivery of
their tobacco the bankers came and
begged to hold. the participation re-
ceipts and paid eight cents more on
them" said G. e. Marvin prominent
stock raiser and tobacco grower of
Lexington. Mr.. Marvin told the
North Carolina Growers that the
Kentucky members of the marketing
association really got an average of
16 cents a pound Immediately after
their first deliveries because the
banks were eager to advance them
money on the security of their ware
house receipts which the Kentuckians
call participation certificates.
w. H. Shanks President of the Lin
coin County National Bank told
North Carolina farmers in five coun-
ties that the participation receipts
are considered the best security in
Kentucky.
"Why one galussed fellow to whom
we wouldn't lend a nickel before, can
come into our bank now and borrow
hundreds of dollars on their partici-
patton receipts" said Mr.. Shanks.
Virgil Chapman attorney for the
Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association, Jno. o. Craddock a
prominent warehouseman and John
Blanks Of Kentucky reused other
thousands fo Eastern Carolina grow
crs to the need of increasing the pre-
sent sign-up in the old North State
frod 60 to 80 per cent of all tobacco
farmers and tobacco.
An intensive campaign is now being
conducted in which growers, mer-
chants and warehousemen are urged
to aid in gaining new members, for
the Association.

own and am interested in over nine
hundred arres Of land that is in hull
tiyation. Something over one hum
dred and fifty Of it is in tobacco and
I have always been pleased with our
method of selling tobacco, for I
could plainly see that it is sold on
it's merits and today do not own
an interest in any warehouse. In
my day have seen several organi-
zations that were boosted up to help
the farmer, buU in every case they
were failures. Some officers in charge
made money, and the farmer paid
the bill. Who can force prices beyond
supply and demand? How can ex-
penses be reduced in marketing if we
have to pay such high prices as to
capture the men of influence and
ability? Also are we going to pay
the big prices for the warehouses in
towns that have failed to stand the
test as tobacco markets? 1t is bet

CULLING POULTRY

In Knox county, Ind, half the
number of focks of hens culled under
the supervision of the county agetn,
employed comparatively by the Unit
cd States Department of Agriculture,
the State Agricultural College, and
the county, were standard bred and
the other half mixed breeds, so their
comparative merits could be consider
ed through culling.
The 8 standard bred Hocks number
ed 1887, while the Of mixed focks
numbered 1903 or IS more hens. The
week before culling, the standard bred
hens laid 2,906 eggs and the mixed
breeds 2,547, or 352 less. In eulling,
314 standard bred and 355 mongrel
hens were removed from the focks,
leaving 773 standard bred and 738
mongrels, or 35 more standard breds.

SHUN LIQUID SPRAYS FOR
POISONING BOIL WEEVIL

A warning against liquid sprayer
attachments to cotton poisoning ra-
chinery is issued by B. r. Coad, direc-
tor of the boil weevil laboratory of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture. Calcium arsenate applied
as dust, he points out, is the only
certain means yet found for controll
control by means of liquid sprays is
useless. Sprayer attachments are,
therefore, not only unnecessary but
are an added burden. They increase
the cost of the machinery and make
it lore complicated and difficult to
operate. The liquid spray, even if it
were as effective as the dust method
would be decidedly more expensive.
1t mould necessitate the use of water
CARTS to feed the machines, would
demand an ample and constant water
supply which is not available on most
farms, and in various ways would in
crease the cost of poisoriing opera
tions. Orchardists and others who
have to conduct poisoning operations
regularly are constantly searching for
sprayed. Cotton growers are very
fortunate in that the one really effec-.
tive method of controlling the boil
weevil is the dust method and they
should not waste time and money, Mr..
Coad points out, in experimenting
with the expensive spray methods
that farmers in other lines are so con-
stantly trying to get away from.
In addition to the foregoing spray
ing equipment we also find on the
market many curious devises for ap-
plying some liquid preparations, US
ually containing calcium arsenate, for
the control fthe boil weevil. Some
of these are to be attached to plows,
others to cultivators, while still others
run independently. They are usually
provided with some exceedingly
simple form, of tank with q gravity
flow of liquid, which either drips on
the plants or is wiped on them by
some fore of brushes or rags. Many
such Implements are absolutely conf
cal, and the only sad feature is the
fact that some farmers are foolish
enough to purchase them. The litera-
ture advertising these implements
promises wonderful results and the
directions given often call for only a
small fraction of pound of poison
per acre, which is distributed over the
plants in very irregular manner. To
expect boil weevil control from such
methods is absolutely absurd. The
Department specialists have been at
tempting boil weevil control with
liquid applications for many years.
In these tests they use the finest
available high pressure spraying
machinery, distributing the liquid poi
son over the plants in mist form,
thus reaching absolutely every part
Of the plant. Furthermore, these ap-
plications are usually made at the
rate Of 100 gallons Of solution per
acre. In spite of this these spray
applications do not control the boil
weevil, and how can anyone, expect
to secure benefit from the absurd re-
concentrations issued with some of
the machines now offered the farm
ers?

information on this subject may Sc

NORTH CAROLINA TOWNS
SIGNS UP WITH ASSOCIATION

Kinston, Rocky Mount, Farmville
and Vanceboro, among the last to bar
doors against cooperative marketing
signed up warehouses with the To-
bacco Growers Cooperative Associa-
tion in last weeks campaign which
was the most remarkable series of
meetings ever attended by tobacco
farmers in Eastern North Carolina.
The enthusiasm of $4,000 farmers
who attended over 80 crowded meet
ings in dozen Eastern counties of
the State, turned the campaign into a
crusade. The crusade is rapidly de-
veloping into a landslide on which
thousands Of new growers and a num-
ber of warehouses have already come
into the Tobacco Growers Co-opera-
tive Association.
"You will be able to raise more on
your advance payment and the as
signment of your tobacco than you
have ever dreamed you could get out
of tobacco" Aaron Sapiro told the
thousands of farmers in Eastern Caro-
lima who hailed him as the prophet
of cooperative marketing in the five
macmoth mass meetings which broke
all records for attendance and filled
theatres, warehouses and courthouses
to over flowing in Washington, New
Bern, Farmville, Kinston and Colds
boro last week.
The California leader of Co-opera-
tive Marketing Associations who rep
resents 100000 organized farmers and
60 associations with annual business
of four hundred million dollars, made
the prophecy that tobacco farmers of
North Carolina would be able to raise
more from their advance payment
and the loan value of their partici-
patton receipt than they got on their
entire crop last year.
Neither the outsider nor the in
slider would have gotten any decent
prices for hurley tobacco in Kentucky
if the Association had not been or
ganized this last year," said Sapiro:
l want to tell you that the growers in
Kentucky the year preceding got an
average of 8 to II cents pound for
hurley tobacco. The growers in the
association Tin Kentucky this year
will average 25 cents a pound net"
declared the little Californian who
called those spectators towards, who
circulated signed and unsigned pam
phlets against cooperative marketing
but feared to meet him face to face
with arguments against this move
ment of the farmers.
