In addition to the early shipments
from eastern Carolina there is also
quite an extensive late producing belt
in the mountains. Large quantities
of the potatoes produced in the noun
tain belt are sold for seed stock, most
of which is certified to points in Pied
mont North Carolina and adjoining
states.
Irish Cobbler is the predomlnating
variety at the present time, Gardner
pointed out While this variety has
produced we'll, it is not so desirable
from the standpoint of tuber char
acteristics, due to keep eyes and gen
eral roughness. Smooth potatoes are
desirable for market, because they
are more easily peeled by mechanical
methods.
Experiment Station horticulturists
have carried on an extensive breeding
program for the last six years to Sc
cure varieties which have desirable
tuber characteristics and which are
more resistant to diseases, particular
" the virus diseases such as mosaic,
spindle tu5er, and late blight.
Over this period of a half dozen
years. approximately $4,000 seedlings
have been grown from true seed,

The construction program Of the
Resettlement Administration Is being
curtailed sharply, oflcials said today,
in an effort to At the agency for
whatever farm tenancy program Con-
gress enacts.
Secretary Wallace and subordinates
IN the agency, 1t was learned, have
been culling list of $50 projects sug-
gested when Rexford G. Tugwell was
administrator
The resettlement projects chosen
for completion, to be announced soon,
are expected to place emphasis on
scattered farm units rather than on
model rural and suburban commune
ties
Congress recently provided 37s,-
900 900 for the agency. but spokesmen
said these funds would be used
chiefly for loans and grants to drought
victims In farm areas.
The tenacy bill approved by the
House Agriculture Committee provides
for expenditure Of $420, 000, 900 In the
next four years. Onacials said little
Of this would 60 for construction
other than farm homes and buildings
for tenants.
The measure would set aside $50
| 100000 for each of the next four
years As loans to tenants in acquiring
farm lands; $4,000, 900 for each of
two years for the agency's regular
rural rehabilitation program, and Sl0,-
900 900 next year and $20, 900 900 each
OF the following three years to con-
tinue purchases Of submarginal lands
for retirement from cultivation.
Chairman Jones Of the Agriculture
Committee assured the House Rules
Committee today he would oppose
any attempt to amend the bill to
give the Government authority to
purchase farms for resale to tenants.
Jones appeared before the Rules
Committee to request a rule per-
hitting him to bring the tenancy
measure up on the House tomorrow
The stafI Of the Resettlement Agency
has been reduced from 4 peak OF
10000 workers two years ago to about
$4,000. Omcials said this would be
cut to $4,000 on May /.
DR.. A. G. Black. chief Of the Bureau
OF Agricultural Economics. said se-
curity should be the goal OF farm
leaders.
1T Is probable that the central
thought Of our agricultural policy will
soon shift from the objective OF
achieving relative economic improve
ment to one Of maintaining such I'M
provement," he said.

Der Of cars was 10000 less than the
previous Sunday. An hours time was
required to tour the area.
Along the Baltimore WASHINGTON
boulevard, officers reported only half
the trafic Of last Sunday. The influx
Of visitors yesterday was attributed
partly to the D. A. r. Congress and
railroad excursions.
At times, police reported, there were
more out-of-town cars than from the
District rolling along PENNSYLVANIA
avenue.
$4,000 Thronx Zoo.
Upward Of So, 900 spectators thronged
the Zoo, park police estimated. A boy
Frustrated by the heat was revived in

Police failed to obtain his name.
Fourteen Pennsylvania Railroad ex-
cursion trains brought 1000 passen-
gers each into Union Station from
New York to help set railroad travel
record. Approximately 1,7OO came in
from Philadelphia on Baltimore d
Ohio excursion trains. The latter
railroad, alternating with the Penn
sylvania, had its greatest number Of
New York excursionists the Sunday
before.
The Pennsylvania general paasen-
ger agent, Alan B. Smith, said the
crowds exceeded the previous record
OF Washington visitors in the roads
history This was in 1922, when $4,000
came from New York for the Holy
Name Society Convention.
Airline and bus ofdciab also re-
ported heavy trafic. Some buses
were delayed by incoming trafic. No
extra vehicles were added for the

regular buses filled.
Even rooming house accommodations
were exhausted by noon. Hotels

Roy Miller Of the Housing Bureau
OF the Board Of Trade said the bureau
remained open until 4:30 am. yester-
day with four clerks, instead Of only
one as on the previous Sunday, on
duty.
He attributed a great part Of the
rush to the D. A. r. Congress. BY
