Which Of the following can ! eat

Answer: Whole milk or any OF
the articles mentioned can be used.
It is not likely that anything in the
diet influences acne very much, al
though it is common to exclude
sweets and fats.

1934-37, North Carolina Burley to-
bacco growers received an average an
nual income of 81 $4,000 as compar-

by E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer

the referendum on 1889 marketing
quotas for Burley, to be held Deem

The increase in income during the

GROWERS LOOKING .
TOWARD P[ANTBEDS
High Quality Cigarette Type

Every Grower

College Station, Raleigh, Dec. "a
A high quality cigarette type of to-
hacco is the aim of practically every
leaf grower. At this season of the
year producers of flue-cured tobacco
are beginning 20 think about the man
agement of their plant beds to The
best advantage.
L. T. Weeks, assistant tobacco sre-
cialist of the State College Extension
Service, says that first of all, to have
a successful crop, it is essential TO
have thrifty, healthy plants when
the proper time for transplanting
arises. He lists poor plant bed sites
as one of the chief causes for failure
to get the crop started right.
Where possible and practical, Sc
lect new site for the plant bed eacn
year." Weeks advises. cat least use
a four year rotation for the bed. This
will help to eliminate the damage
done by diseases that attack the small
plants in the beds. The location of
the bed should be we'll drained with
southern or southwestern exposure.

and, if possible, near water supply.
If it is necessary to use an old bed

tobacco until production was no lon
ger profitable and growers were fore
ed to reduce their marketings while
the excess of the past few years was
being used up. Then when burdensome,
supplies had been reduced and prices
were again high, producers increased
their marketings, usually to a level
above world demand, only to be adj
justed downward through lower
prices and reduced income again"
With the TripleA program in eff
feet, Burley tobacco growers can mar
ket as much tobacco over a period of
years-at a higher price level as
they could without program, Floyd
declared.
A 1889 Burley tobacco marketing
quota of 315.O00,OO0 pounds has been
proclaimed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture. This compares with a 1888
quota of 356,OOO,OOO pounds, now be-
ing marketed. The decreases in the
1889 Burley quota was required be-
cause total supply is now 100000
pounds above year ago. The 1898
crop was between five and ten per
cent above the quota, chiefly because
of the high yield per acre this year.
