Acquainting farmers with good agro-

of tours which begin June % and last
throughout the summer.
When county farm agents of the
State College Extension Service met
at Manteo for their annual conference
recently, E. G. Blair, extension agro-
nomist, explained a proposal which
would allow farmers to make group
visits to outstanding farms where
good agronomy and farm manage

The agents approved of the idea
and began work on preparing a sche-
dule. Practically every one of North
Cardinals one hundred counties ap-

Quoting these tours, we can raise the

SURPLUS PRODUCTS
ARE GIVEN NEEDY
Over 100000 Pounds Dis
tributed from Farms in
State Last Year

College Station, Raleigh, June 12.---
More than $3.50, 900 pounds of surplus
farm products were distributed last
year to the needy in North Carolina
according to Dean l. o. Schaub, OF
State College.
These commodities were taken off
price-depressed markets in an effort
to increase returns to producers and
were distributed to families on relief
rolls that had little or no buying pow
er, the dean pointed out.
The task of removing the SURPRISES
was done by the AAA and the Federal
SURPRISES Commodities Corporation
in cooperation with various state re-
lief agencies, he continued.
The products TINS distributed not
only helped bolster market prices, the
dean said, but also tended to slim
uate domestic consumption of agri
cultural commodities and to prevent
waste.
The commodities distributed ir
North Carolina included:
Cnaned beef, 100000 pounds; dry
skim milk, 12O,15O pounds; flour, L.
327 ,781 pounds; enriched oat cereal
10000 pounds; rolled oats, 20OyO0c
pounds; fresh apples, 2,760,0OO pounds
dried beans 100000 pounds.
The dean pointed out that the dis
tribution of these commodities helped
needy families, yet dill not compete
with those who are selling commodi
ties. since these families had nc
IT. oney with which 10 buy on the oper
markets.

SECURITY CLAIMS
NOW ESQ PER DAY
This Is an Increase from 35
Daily From All Over
the Country

Raleigh, June 12-Claims for lump
sum and death payments under the
Federal old-age benefits program are
being received by the Social Security
Board at the rate of $50 a day from,
the Raleigh field office and the 139
other field offices of the board thro-
ughout the country, Stacey w. Wade
manager of the Raleigh office at 11G
| South Salisbury street, said today.
! Three weeks ago the daily average
was IS claims from all over the coun-
Try.
There have been % claims filed
through the Raleigh office. At pre-
,, sent the average number daily pass
ing through the Region w office is
Is. These are not all the claims filed
in Region ~, which comprises the
District of Columbia, Maryland, North
Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia,
inaSmuch as some are filed directly
with Board headquarters by persons
! who are not aware of the help which
will be given them by the Raleigh Of
flee or their nearest field office.
"The attitude of the Social Security
Board" Mr. Wade said, lis expressed
in the following statement made by
it: While it is not our intention to
| institute or originate claims, we stand
ready to cooperate in every way nee
essary when informed of the existence
Of bona fide claimant
Information about the existence
of a claimant may be communicated
with the Raleigh field office in an
informal fashion either by the claim
ant or by friend acting in his be-
half.
"The boards policy of simplifying
claims procedure is shown by the fact
that signed physicians or undertake
ers' statements will be accepted in
place of official death certificates.
This will eliminate unnecessary ex-
pense to the claimant.
",The experience of the Board with
claims reveals that the number of
Federal old-age benefits payments are
now Icing made to workers SIS years
of age and over and to estates of
workers who have died before reach
ing that age is greater in New York
than in any other State. The Board
declared also that about 70 percent
of all Federal old-age benefits now
being paid are on behalf of employees
in establishments employing less than
80 workers.
Identification for payment of claim
now being presented is supplement
tary to the major phase of the pro-
gram which begins in 1912 with the
payment of monthly retirement bene-
fits to qualified workers aged IS or
over. AS the number of beneficiaries
increases it becomes increasingly i'm
portant for every eligible worker to
possess a social security account
number, since the payments are made
on the basis of all wages received by
the worker which can he counted to-
ward benefits and recorded in his So
cial security account"

Statesville, June PA pasture that
will support one cow for every acre
of grass is usually considered good.
L. B. Hass, Iredell county farmer, has
built up a pasture on which each acre
will supply ample grazing for three
cows and keep their milk production
at high level.
Hass keeps a herd of IL to IL Jer-
seys, II of which are shown in the
picture above-if you look closely. The
picture was taken at one of the five
meetings over the State sponsored by
the N. C. Jersey Cattle Club to stimu-

quality dairy feed known and has stop
ped the erosion that had been outlying
the land, said John A. Arey, extension
dairy specialist at State College.
The pasture was seeded two years
ago with the following mixture per
acre: 6 pounds of Kentucky blue
grass, pounds of white Dutch clover
II pounds of orchard grass, 6 pounds
of herds grass, pounds of rye grass,
and 10 pounds of lespedeza.
When seeded, the pasture received
500 pounds of ground limestone and
200 pounds of triple superphosphate
per acre. Each year, Hass gives 1t
a light application of stable manure.
