NEW PROGRAM DESIGNED TO
REDUCE CASH CROPS

The biggest payments under the
new farm program will be for di-
verting land from soil-depleting
crops into the production of soil
conserving or improving crops.
For taking land out of cotton the
rate of payment will be around $13
an acre, while the rate for tobacco
will be around $40 an acre, depend
ing upon the average productivity
of the land.
The rate of payment for wheat,
corn, and other soil-depleters win
be determined in the near future,
and will probably vary with each
farm according to its fertility, said
Dean I. o. Schaub, of State College
The maximum diversions on which
payments will be made are 35 per
cent of the cotton base, 80 per cent
of the tobacco base, 20 per cent al
the peanut base, and Is per cent oil
the base acreages of other soil-de-
pleters.
A smaller payment will also be-
made for growing soil-building
Grips or carrying out certain soil
improvement practices such as ter
racing for erosion control or plant
ing fores trees, the dean said.
There are two things a grower
must do to earn this soil building
payment.
First, he must put in soil-conserV-
ing crops, or devote to soil-conserp-
ing practices, an amount of land
equal to at least 20 per cent of his
base acreage of depicting crops.
Each acre devoted to soil-conserv-
ing crops or practices will make the
grower eligible for 81 in a soil
building payment, unless the rate is
changed later, but it will not auto
matically earn this payment.
Second, to earn the payment, the
grower must raise soil-building
crops or carry out certain SOIL
building practices.
Under the program, certain crops
and parctices have been classified as
soil-conserving, while certain otherx
are know as soil-building.

region" commented Dean I. q.
Schaub, of State College.
HE is thoroughly familiar with
the situation in this State, he has
our interest at heart, and he has
demonstrated his ability to gef
things DONE"
The new program is like the old
AAA in some respects, however, the
dean pointed out. It will be admin
istered by the State College agrl-
cultural extension service and itz
corps Of county agents. At the same
time, much of the program will be
handled by community, county, and
state committees composed of farm
erS.
The state committee, to be made
up of representative farmers from
each section of the State, will have
a voice in determining many matters
of policy.
The county committees will be i'm

including the checking of growers
compliance with the program. Com
munity committeeman will aid the
county committees.

TENDER GARDEN CROPS MAY
BE PLANTED SOON

When dogwoods and apple trees
are in bloom it is time for the first
planting of tender garden vegeta-
bles
This usually means early April in
eastern North Carolina and two or
four weeks later in the foothills and
mountains, depending on the loca-
ton and elevation.
Some gardeners take chance on
earlier paintings, especially with
beans and corn. They say that if
they escape frost, they are that
much ahead of the conservative
gardener.
Why not try some real sweet corn
in 1886? ask H. R. Niswonger and
E. B. Morrow, extension horticul-
turists at State College. Top Cross
Bantam and Golden Cross Bantam
are good varieties that produce full,
rich ears.
Tomatoes for the main summer
crop should be started in April.
Plant the seeds in a protected plant
bed or a shallow box placed in a
sunny window. AS soon as the seed
lings are big enough to handle, set
them four inches apart in an out
door bed. After they have been
toughened, they can be set in the
field or garden.
Make succession paintings of the
more hardy crops such as beets,
cabbage, carrots, mustard, garden
peas, Irish potatoes, and radishes.
Radishes should be planted every
two weeks until hot weather arrives.
In April leafy vegetables should
receive side application of readily
available nitrogen fertilizer to slim
ulate their growth.
For an early crop of sweet pota-
toes, set the plants as soon as danger
from frost has passed. For the main
crop, bed the potatoes six or seven
weeks before time to set them in the
field. Soak the seed for Is minutes
in a solution of four ounces of BIZ
chloride of mercury to 80 gallons of
water.

FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED
AT STATE COLLEGE

Question: How soon should sexes

Answer: The separation should be

Thrusts Wife Into Rattlesnake
Den in an Attempt to Kill Her
Barber Resorts to Drowning His
Mate in Order to Collect
Her Insurance
DOUBLE INDEMNITY ASKED

A weird death plot in which the
woman victim was drowned after be-
ing bound and thrust into den of
ratlesnakes was charged to her hus-
band in California last week by
district attorneys Office.
Deputy Eugene Williams said
witness told him that Mrs. Mary
Emma Busch James, fifth wife of
Robert James, barber, was gagged
and her foot held in a box of writh-
ing snakes. When that failed, the
deputy said, the woman was drown
ed.
Williams related the story after
questioning c. H. Hope, 80, night
manager of a beach cafe. He said
Hope told him:
1.-The Sunday before they found
her dead, I took a box of rattle
snakes got for James at Snake
Joe's, snake farm in Pasadena, to
James house in La Crescenta.
THAT Sunday when I walked into
the house at II o'clock in the morn
ing, James had his wife tied down
with ropes to a breakfast table he
had pulled out into the kitchen from
the breakfast nook.
"She had on nothing but a night
dress and her eyes and her mouth
were covered with adhesive tape so
she could not see or scream.
"She was tied down with her body
up and her neck down against the
table.
eco to the garage and get that
box of rattlesnakes!' James said to
me.
II brought him the box of snakes.
HE took the box of snakes and
set it on the floor. Then he took his
wife's left foot and stuck it down in
to the box where the snakes were all
coiled up together, shaking their
rattles, kissing.
II know one of them stuck its
fangs into her leg, but all the snakes
did not rise up and wrap themselves
around her. Some of them might
have been too old and lazy.
'tAfter while James took his
wife's leg out of the box and told me
to take the snakes away. left, TAX
ing the snakes back to Snake Joe's
in Pasadena.
"When I came back that Sunday
night he told me to drive the car
into the garage He had bottle of
whisky and we drank.
"'She's not dead YETI He said
The rattlesnake poison is not work
ing right. I'm not going to waste any
more time. I'm going to drown her.
'He stayed in the house and I
stayed in the garage with the
whisky. At o'clock James came
out and said: We'll, she's dead now.
I'll clean up the place. Then I'll col
lect the insurance.
"He went back into the house. A
half hour later he came out again.
He told me: I've got everything
cleaned up, and want you to help
me carry out the body"
The woman's body was found in
a fishpond on the night of August
3, three week after her marriage to
the barber. 1t was James and a
friend who reported the discovery of
the body to authorities.
A long insurance litigation follow
ed in which James asked double in
demnity on the grounds of accident
