Surveys Aid
| Farming Programs

Data gathered in soil surveys of
North Carolina is being used as a
basis for the land-planning program
and the AAA crop adjustment pro-
grams in this State.
Such data is essential to the pre-
paration of sound land use pro-
grams and in making recommended
lions regarding crop and livestock
production, said c. B. Williams,
head of the agronomy department
of the N. C. Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
With the information gathered,
the agronomy department has made
maps showing the various soil types
in the State( their location, charac-
teristics, and adaptations to DIFF
ferent crops.
The department has also shown
what varieties of the different crops
are best suited to different soils
and what fertilizers should be ap-
piled to give the best results.
by enabling the farmers to de-
termine which crops are best adapt
ed to their land" professor Will
liams pointed out, 1--WE are trying
to help them secure the most pro-
fitable, returns from their farming
operations"
The work of surveying the State
has been under way since 1902,
with the experiment station, the
State Department of Agriculture,
and the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture cooperating in the project.
So far, IS per cent of the land in
the State has been covered.
At present, six men are making
surveys in the IVA area of West
ern North Carolina, where an in
tensive land use and conservation
program is being developed. The
IVA is coopeating in this work.
Other surveys in eastern Carolina
will be conducted later, Professor
Williams said.

Crop Hurt
By Hot Weather

Hot, dry weather has seriously
damaged a large part of the flue-
cured tobacco crop in North Caro-
lima this year.
The heaviest damage has been in
the middle belt and the upper part
of the new belt. Some sections
have lost as much as one-third of
the crop.
Much of the tobacco that has
been harvested in these areas is thin
and light in weight, although the
color is good, said E. Floyd, ex-
tension tobacco specialist at State
College.
Weed in the old belt has been
suffering from the hot, dry spell
during late July and early August
and indications are that in this
area the tobacco will not produce
the yields which were anticipated
20 days ago.
In the border counties, where
harvesting was a little further adj
vanced, the growers were better
able to take care of their crop,
and they suffered less damage in
ether sections, Floyd pointer out.
The weather this year has been
about the most variable ever ex-
perienced by flue-cured tobacco
growers in the State, he added.
In June the extremely hot, dry
weather hurt the older tobacco a
great deal, although it did not seri-
ously effect the younger leaf. In
the rainy period that followed. the
young plants made rapid gains.
The wet weather in July caused
about as change in leaf spread as
has ever been witnessed in this
State, Floyd said, and a large
growth was put OUT.
Had the weather been favorable
during the latter part Of July and
the early part of August, he conf
mented, some of the yields would
have been exceptionally heavy this
year.

Browns Take Twin Bill.

HARRIS plainly is elated with the
work of the boy. AS far as Bucky
can see, STAIRS mechanical ability Is
well nigh perfect, and in view of his
batting yesterday, Harris is beginning
to think there is reason to look for
steady improvement in his batting.
The first two times ur Starr batted
curves into left field for singles, the
second safety driving across Washing
tons only run. The third time up
Andrews sent up a change of pace,
which fooled Starr no more than if
he had signaled for the pitch himself.
It went for single to center. The
fourth time up he raped a hot
grounder, which Lyn Larry booted for
an error.
Starr probably never will be the
batter Bolton is, but If he can hit
pitchers of Andrews type he'll be a
pretty handy guy to have around.
Andrews is one of the half dozen twirl-
ers in the American League whom
the Nationals call nothing ball"
pitchers-and then lose to consist
entity. Definitely, the Nationals are
fast-bal hitters.
Andrews, for instance, has beaten
them four out of five times. Yves
Ferrell has won five games from our
side and hasn't lost yet. Ted Lyons
has won all three of his starts against
Washington and AL Crowder and WAL
ter Stewart each has won two and lost
