FARMERS. HAVE TO
OCT. | TO COMPLY
That is New Deadline on
Soil Conservation Plant
ing in State

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. II
North Carolina farmers have@nntil
october 1 to plant soil-conserving
crops that will qualify them for pay
ments under the soil-improvement
program.
Inc maximum amount growers are
allowed to earn for reducing their
acreage of soil-depleting crops and
for carrying out soil-building prac-
tees is determined by their acre
age of soil-conserving crops.
A number of farmers have reduc-
ed their depicting crops but have not
planted enough conserving crops to
qualify Them for the full amount of
payments they have earned, said H.
A. Patten, state compliance super
visor with headquarters at State Col
lege.
He urges these growers to plan con-
serving crops while there is yet
time to do so. Each acre of conserv-
ing crops increases by one dollar the
the amount of soil-building and di-
version payments they may receive.
Crops such as crimson clover, vetch
Austrian winter peas, red clover, and
other legumes will be counted in the
soll-cOnserVlng acreage when SOWn on
land where no soil-depleting crops
was grown this year.
Patten also pointed out that a soil
building payment of at least $40 can
be earned on any farm, no matter
how small and regardless of the
acreage of soil-conserving crops
grown, if the paintings of soil de-
pletlng crops were not in excess of
the base acreage.
However, to earn this payment,
soll-building practices must be car
rled out in accordance with the pro-
visions of the program, Patten con-
tinued.
Farmers wishing to find out more
about what they must do to get pay
ments should secure the information
from their county agents

Production Costs
Rise If Yields Go
TooHigh on Crops

college Station, Raleigh, Sept. II
The farmer who secures high yields
per acre usually has low production
costs and is therefore able to make
bigger profits
However, said R. E. L. Greene. re-
search assistant in farm manage
ment at the N. C. Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station, production costs
can De increased in attempting to
push crop yields too high.
Each farmer should try to find the
happy medium" where he may OBJ
tam the greatest net return from
his land and labor Greene pointed
out. To do this. he must be able to
figure accurately all the costs in
volved. .t
An extensive inquiry into the costs
OF producing farm crops in North
Carolina has been made by Greene
and the findings published in a 1877
page bulletin issued by the expert
ment station.
Consideration is given the various
FACTORS involved in producing cotton.
TOBACCO, corn, wheat, peanuts. pota-
toes, forage dairy products, poultry.
pork, and other farm commodities.

AID to farmers in ascertaining their
own production costs and in deter
mining how far they should go in in

New York, Sept. 17-William Gax-
ton is a Broadway phenomenon of
increasing wonder. A plumpish, rud-
dy-cheeked, genial gentleman past the
age most people associate with mat
lnee idols playing romantic leads in
musical comedy, he is considered a
good luck omen by producers.
Everything he has appeared in for
years has chalked Up an Immediate
and reSounding hit. He is certainly
not a great singer. He is certainly not
great actor. And yet he can con-
tribute a gayety, rollicking sly
quality which puts audiences in good
humors and lifts them off their hands
F1e gets show going
L watched him the other dav re-
hearsing White Horse Inn" the
quarter-million dollar musical i'm
ported from Europe after six wears
OF bcX-c1t'ce magic III most countries
across the water. Suave, soft-spoken
and quick to laughter, he kept the
cast in good fettle.
When the Teutonic author of the
book fell into a mild pet over inter-
probation of his lines, Gaxton put an
arm around a ten-year-old lad who
was one of the principals in the scene
and with an irrelevant, "Ain't he
cute!' put all in a good humor again.
Small droll Jimmy Savo was orr
ginally scheduled for the Gaxton role
in white Horse Inn" This is amaz-
ing, since no two actors could be
more dramatically opposed in looks,
voice, temperament and technique.
SavO is one of the great pantomim-
lists of the generation. He can be men
toned in the same breath with Chap
lin. Producers of films and musicals,
recognizing his talents, have sought
been extremely diffcult-he is deemed
the hardest actor to cast on Broad
way.
Ben Hecht and Charles Macarthur
have had their eyes on Savo for years
and have searched in vain for the
sort of tale that would bring out his
magnificent ability to use hands, feet,
eyes and head in pungent satiee. They
even made one film and were so dis
satisfied with it they released it only
here and there, to meagre box-office
pickings. Somehow story and Savo
didn't jell.
At the moment 1 hear Rowland
Stebbins, producer of white Horse

right show will be found and a comic
of the very first magnitude will sail
