Soil conservation grants of IS
or 20 million dollars prabably will
be paid North Carolina farmers this
year under the new farm program.
The exact amount, said Dean I.
o. Schaub, State College, will de-
pend largely upon the number of
farmers entering the program and
the amount of land on which
grants are to be paid.
Although no contracts will be
signed, as under the old AAA,
farmers will be paid for devoting
part of their land to soil building
or soil-conservation crops, he ex-
planned.
The three major detectives of the
soil conservation and domestic al
lotment act are:
Conservation of the soil through
wise use of the land. This will
also check the overproduction of
soil-depleting cash crops.
Re-establishment and mainten-
ance of farm income at a "fair
level"
Protection of consumers by as
suring adequate supplies of food,
feed, and other farm commodities
now and in the future.

Good Seed Necessary
For High Corn Yield

The 2,4S9,00O acres of corn har-
vested in North Carolina last year
exceeded the combined acreage of
cotton, tobacco, and the small
grains.
Corn is grown in every county
of the State and on 81 per cent of
the farms, said G. K. Middleton, in
charge of corn and small grain re-
search for the N. c. Agricultural
Experiment Station.
Yet the average corn yield per
acre in the State is only 1S bushels,
he said. A good farmer should Sc
cure yields three times this amount
In fact, he stated, yields of 95 to
100 bushels per acre have been pro-
duced in this State.
Good seed of a variety we'll ad-
apted to the soil and climatic con-
ditions of the farm is one of the
most important factors in produc-
ing heavy yield.
The Importance of selecting a
we'll suited variety may be illus
trated by experiments conducted
at the coastal plain branch expert
ment station at Willard.
Latham's Double corn has pro-
duced yield of S4.3 bushels pei
acre for the past six years. On
similar fields at the experiment sta
ton, Reds Yellow Dent produced
only 37.2 bushels.
Some hybrid varieties have beer
developed that produce heavy
yields, DR.. Middleton pointed out
but other hybrids fail to produce
anything like as good crop as the
standard varieties.
Consequently, he urged farmer!
to stick to varieties known to b.
good until the hybrids have beer
definitely proven to be of value.
Information regarding the bes
varieties for North Carolina may
be obtained from county farm
agents Or the agricultural editor a,
State College.

Schaub Gives Details
OF New Farm Program

With these objectives, said the
dean, the new program will have a
broader significance than the old
AAA, although it may not limit
cash crops as effectively as was
done before.
Farmers who qualify for pay
ments this year will be required to
have an acreage of soil-conserving
crops, or land devoted to some
other conservation practice, equal
to at least 20 per cent of the acres
in soil-depleting crops.
And he must not have an acre
age Of depicting crops this year
greater than his base acreage for
these crops.
The bases and normal average
yield for cotton, tobacco, and pea
nuts will be the same as established
for 1896 under the old AAA.
Bases for other depicting crops
will be worked out on fair and
equitable basis by the Secretary of
Agriculture, Dean Schaub said.
Cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat,
peanuts, truck, and the like are
classified as soil-depleting crops.
Soil-conserving crops include forest
trees, legumes, hays, and pasture
grasses.
Part of the soil conservation
grant to each farm will be mod
crate soil-maintenance payment,
probably Is cents an acre, on land
planted to soil-building or con-
serving crops.
Fields already in these crops, and
on which the crops are maintained
in 1886, will qualify for these
payments as we'll as fields where
these crops are planted this year
for the first time in several years.
The other art of the grant will
be diversion payment on land
shifted from depicting crops to soil
building or conserving crops.
A diversion payment of six cents
a pound on the average production
of land thus taken out of cotton
has been recommended.
The recommended tobacco pay
ment is at least five cents a pound,
but in no event less than the rate
per pound on cotton.
For peanuts, the recommended
rate is l IA cents a pound. but in
no case less than Is per cent of the
rate for cotton.
Diversion payments on other soil
crops will be fixed later,
Dean Schaub stated.
The maximum amount of cot
ton land on which diversion pay
ments will be made for shifting to
soil-building or conserving crops is
40 per cent of the base acreage.
The maximum diversion on
which tobacco payents will be
made is 80 per cent of the base,
and the maximum for peanuts is 20
per cent Of the base, the dean point
ed out.

Work

Let me do my. work from day to
day,
In field or forest, at the desk Or
loom,
In roaring market-place or tran
quill room;
Let me but find it in my heart to
to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me
astray,
'This is my work; my blessing,
not my doom;
OF all who live, I am the one by
whom
This work can best he done in the
right way"
Then shall l see it not too great,
nor small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my
powers;
Then shall I cheerful greet the
laboring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the long
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and
rest,
Because I know for me my work
is best.

For Bad Feeling
Due to Constipation

Get rid of constipation by taking
Black-Draught as soon as you notice
that bowel activity has slowed up or
you begin to feel sluggish. Thou
sands prefer Black-Draught for the
refreshing relief it has brought them.
Mrs. Ray Mullins, Of Lafe, Ark,
writes: "My husband and I both take
Thedford's Black-Draught and find
It splendid for constipation, bilious
ness, and the disagreeable, aching,
tired feeling that comes from this
condition" With reference to Syrup
of Black-Draught, which this mother
gives her children, she says: 'They
like the taste and it gave such good
results"

Hints To Gardeners
BY Harold Coulter
Vegetable Expert
Ferry Seed Institute
Starting Seeds Indoors

GARDENERS usually obtain more
VI satisfactory results in growing
certain vegetables such as tomato,
cabbage, broccoli, egg plant and
pepper > if the plants are started
early indoors from seed. One ad-
vantage is that seed of known
variety from a dependable source
can be used.
Should you prefer plants, how
ever, make certain they are from Il
reliable source.
Tomatoes are one of the most
satisfactory home garden items, and
one of the most popular of this
group Seed can be obtained from a
nearby dealer and should be sown
about eight weeks before setting
plants in the open.
Sow the seeds not more than one
quarter inch deep in good loamy
soil in fiat box which has quarter
inch holes in the bottom to permit
drainage. Water thoroughly but not
too frequently, preferably on bright
days.
Good sunlight and good air circu-

QUESTION: What equipment is
necessary when placing baby
chicks in the brooder?

necessary When PlaeAlS DaOy
chicks in the brooder?
ANSWER: Drinking fountains
and mash hoppers are the two
main essentials. For each 100
chicks two drinking fountains
of one-half gallon capacity and
one mash hopper five feet long
should be provided. When the
chicks are three weeks old two
mash hoppers five feet long, six
inches wide, and four inches high
are required. These hoppers
should be equipped with a reel
and kept filled at all times with
the growing mash.
QUESTION: Will sweet potatoes
that have been discolored or
brown centers produce good
plants?
ANSWER: Yes. This is what is
known as an internal break
down. The center cells become
discolored and cause the pota-
toes to have a bitter, unwhoIe-
some taste. However, the dis
ease is not caused by an organism
and therefore there is no germ
present that can be transmitted
to the plant and the potatoes will
produce good plants. Eearly
transplanting on light sandy soils
and the use of potash fertiliza-
ton will, in some cases, correct
the trouble. Avoid the use of
fertilizers carrying excess nitro
gen.
Carolina watchman., 1936-03-20

No diversion payment will be
made on food and feed crops if the
farmer, in diverting land in these
crops to soil improvement, reduces
his food and feed production below
the amount needed on his farm.

QUESTION: How can I keep my
cows from eating wild onions?
ANSWER: There is no way ex-
cept to keep them off pasture.
However, the Objectionable fla
vor and odor of onions can be
eliminated by taking the COWS
of the pasture and given dry
feed for at least six hours before
milking. Be sure that no high
ly favored feed, such as rye and
turnips are fed before milking
as these feeds will also impart an
Questionable flavor. With
these precautions the milk or
cream should be rid of the odor
and flavor of onions or other
feeds and rendered saleable.
