Winter Legumes
Acreage Gain Is
Feature OF Year
States Farmers for the
Most Part Inoculated
Seed, Is Declared

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Jan. 1S.-A tremendous increase
in the acreage planted to winter
lcgumcs was AN outstanding fca
ture Of North Cardinals agricul-
ture last year said f. c. Blair Of
State college.
In Jones county, for example,
only 20 acres Of clover, Austrian
winter peas. and vctch were sOwn
in the fall OF 1896.
Last fall, growers in that coun-
ty seeded 500 acres Of these Win
ter legumes-25 times as much as
the year before, Blair continued.
Over the state, he said, grow
crs have not only planted more
of thSce soil-conScrving winter
legumes, but they are growing
them in the proper manner to get
the best results.
Farmers inoculatcd most Of
their seed before sowing it, and
have been applying fertilizer to
the legume crop rather than to
the next crop TO follow.
The fertilizer applied in this
way helps produce a heavy, rich
growth of legumes, and when this
growth is plowed under, the soil
is filled with nitrogen, organic
matter, and other plant foods that
are worth more to the following
crop than 4 direct application of
fertilizer, Blair explained.
Winter legumeS also protect
soil from erosion during the win
ter months and enable the land
to soak up and hold large guam
titles of water.
Winter legumeS over the state
as a whole look good at this time,
Blair went on, and this gives
promise of good crops in the sum-
mcr, unless the weather is I'M
usually bad during the growing
season.

for Steep Mountain

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh,
Ian. Is. - Large numbers OF
abandoned and impoverished
farms in North Carolina lay as
mute evidence Of the rava%cS
wrought by a ouc-crop system oil
farming.
Prior to the invention of the
cotton gin, growers were depend
ent upon livestock for much OF
their income. declared Earl H..
Hostetler. professor Of animal
husbandry at State college.
However, with the coming OF
Eli Whitncy's new gadgct, cotton
production rOcketcd and the SyS-
tenn Of farming gradually changed
until many farms supported Only
the work animals necessary for
the production of cash crops.
Continuous paintings Of cotton.

crops sucked practically all the

were not careful! 10 restore fcrtlI-
ity.
On the orhc- hand. HoStcticr
said. there are many farms with
in the same area that have I'M
proved in fertility through pass
ing years because Of proper rota-
ton Of crops and the Intelligent
use of live stock in the farming
program.
The State college animal nus
bandman pointed out that animals
should be used to supplement
crops on a majority OF North
Carolina farms.
In certain western counties,
grass is the only crop which can
be grown on steep mountain
slopes. This, Hostetlcr said, can
be used profitably only by live
stock.
When livestock are used to sup
plement crops, there is better
distribution OF labor and income
throughout the year. In addition.
gleanings and unstable farm by
products can be utilized, and -
to 80 per cent of the plant nutri-
ents in feeds will be returned to
the soil through the manure.
HOStetler said.

Rat Control Held
Easy In Winter
Can Be Done Cheaper,
More Effectively Then

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Jan. 18.-During the winter, the
control Of rats is most effective,
most economical, and requires the
batting of a smaller area than in
any other period OF the year.
For these reasons, any commun-
ity in need Of a rat eradication
campaign should take action at
once. said George B. Lay, rodent
control leader of the Biological
Survey.
Law. whose headquarters are at
State college, explained that in
colder months rats are concen-
trated in and around buildings.
Thus q much smaller area need be
baitcd than in the warmer months.
Also. he said, in the South rats
are more likely to take almost any
kind of food material in the win
ter. AS a result, there will be less
bal fused and Il better percentage
Of kill.
The federal government recon-
mends the use of Red Squill bats
when the rat problem has to be
fought quickly. Cleaning up trash
and disposing of food materials
will reduce the number of rats
which can live on a given area, al
though this requires time.
Federal authorities also recon-
mend rat-proofing and the reno
waiting of existing structures so as
to make it more difficult for the
rodents to find shelter and food.
Batting, Lay said, is the quick
est way to cut the rat population
overnight. Red Squill has been
found the safest, most effective,
and cheapest poison to be used in
a town OF in home.
During the past year, over 20
rat campaigns were conducted in
the same number of towns and
communities to stop typhuS fever,
a disease carried by rats.
The use of Red Squill bats halt
ed the diseasc-carriers almost i'm
mediately, and in one county the
typhus case rate was cut SO PEI
cent in 30 days.

Hog Shipments
Million Dollar
Trade In State

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Jan. 18.-Coopcrative hog ship
mcnts by farmers Of North Caro-
lima rated as a million dollar bust
ness last year, II. W. Taylor, eX-
tension swine specialist at State
college, revealed today.
In general cooperative ship
mcnts, he said, growers sold $932,-
458.94 worth of hogs to northern
and eastern markets, and in con
signmcnt sales htey sold another
$1l3,9S2.07 worth.
He also cstimatdc that they re-
ccivcd $4,000 more than they or
dinarilv would have got, because
they guaranteed the pork to be
hard.
BY limiting their shipments to
good, hard hogs, they We're able to
command q better price from the
buyers. Total deductions for soft,
oily pork found in few hogs
amounted to only 7/l0 Of l per
cent.
In the general cooperative sales,
$50 carloads containing 47,640
hogs weighing 9,309,S42 pounds
were shipped. Consignment sales
added 81 carloads or $500 hogs
weighing l,2O3,319 to the total.
The hogs were shipped from
New Bern, TarborO, Burgaw. Co
field Elizabethtown, Fayetteville,
Four Oaks, Greenville, Lumberton,
Plymouth, Rowland, Shawboro,
Warsaw, and Washington.
In counties surrounding the ship
ping points, growers have formed
cooperative marketing associations
with boards of directors composed
entirely Of growers who sell on
the markets.
The cooperative shipping prof
ects were sponsored by H. W.
Taylor and county farm agents in
the areas from which shipments
were made.

GRAZING ADVERSE FOR
WOODLONDS SOILS

LEXINGTON, Jan. lS.-Graz-
ing has been one Of the most de-
structivc factors in woodlands Of
the soil conservation service dem
onstration area near here, accord
ing to +. c. Jernigan. project
manager. Approximately 80 per
cent OF the area is woodland.
Since burned Or Ovcr-grazed
forest areas are subject to accel-
Grated erosion, Jenigan urges
farmers to make every effort to
prevent fires and over-grazing.
Fire destroys millions of tree
seeds often neceSsitating artificial
refOrestation. Fire kills the young
seedlings, scars and damages the
trees, retardS growth or weakenS
trees and makes them more
susceptible TO insect infestation.
Fire also destroys huns which
protects soil against erosion and
holds a moisture supply for the
trees.
Water runs off a forest floor
packed hard by grazing stock.
Gulies form and trees suffer
during periods Of little rainfall.
Young trees are eaten or broken
down. Paths often become gull
lies.
Young forests in which hogs
are grazed mature slowly since
young trees are uprooted, seed
eaten and the root system of the
larger trees damaged by their
roofing.
Even immature woodlands are
an investment and have a high
potential cash value. Efforts
spent in protecting these invest
ments, says Jernigan, will yield
future returns.

farm EXPORTS.
LIKELY TO TOP
5-YEAR high
Experts, Forecasting I'm
provement Have Definite
Views for 1888
By FRED BAILEY
nited Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. (UP)
Exports Of American agricultural
products are increasing. and the
outlook for 1888 is brighter than
for any year since 1882, accord
ing TO trade experts OF the dc-
partmcnt Of agriculture.
The improving trade SITUATION
results. the experts said, from eX-
traordinary large crops last year
and increased purchases of Amer
lean farm products by Europe.
Short crops in 1884 and 1886
resulting from severe drouthS
gave the United States an unfa-
vorablc agricultural trade bal
ancc. Huge quantities Of corn,
wheat, other grains and meat
products were imported, principal
" from South America.
Americas principal export item
is cotton. In the last five months
Of 1897 the United States export
ed 3,227,O00 bales, an increase Of
2Sl 900 bales over the same pc
Rod of 1896. This gain was made
despite reduction Of GGO,OOO
bales in Japanese purchases.
COTTON EXPORTS SLUMP
Japan purchased 1900, 900
bales Of American cotton in the
marketing year which ended last
July 81 TO become the leading M
porter from this country. During
the last five months Of 1887 1t
took only 100000 bales, cOmpar-
cd with 100000 bales in the same
period Of last year.
If japanese purchases increase
during the next six months as cX-
Dectcd, total cotton exports may
aggregate 100000 bales, or
slightly more than one-third OF
the 1897 crop and 100000 bales
above last year.
Department figures showed the
United States again exporting
wheat in substantial quantities.
From the crop year l934-35 thru
1867 the United States I'M
ported more wheat than it export
ed. Last years imports totaled
100000 bushels.
Secretary Of Agriculture Hen
ry A. Wallace estimated exports
from the 1897 wheat crop would
total 96,O00,O0O to 10O,OOO,OOO
bushels. Exports since the crop
was harvested have averaged
about 100000 bushels month.
TOBACCO REMAINS STEADY
Exports of leaf tobacco are eX-
pccted to total approximately
400, 100000 pounds, valued at
1925, 100000. This would be only
slightly above last year. Principal
foreign markets for leaf tobacco
are the United Kingdom and Chi
ma.
Fruits now represent one of the
leading agricultural export groups
with apples the leading item. En-
ports Of apples from last years
crop already have exceeded 2
100000 bushels, a substantial IN
crease over 1886.
The large 1887 crops are not
expected to affect the eXport-im-
port situation of meat and dairy
products until late this year. High
domestic prices and short supplies
have resulted in abnormally large
imports Of livestock and livestock
products during the past three
years.
Hogs and cattle fattencd from
the 1897 crop will begin to reach
the export market in quantities
during the last half of this year,
trade experts predicted. From

Timely Questions
And Answers On
Farming Problems

Question: What causes early
Matched pulletS to fall off in pro-
duction when there is no signs of
mott or disease,
Answer: This winter pause in
production is often encountered
when early Matched pullets have
been producing heavily. The birds
are just resting and will undoubt-
eddy soon swing back into heavy
egg yields. Give them normal
care. keeping wcll-balanced
mash before them at all times
and practice rigid sanitation.
Watch the flock for a neck mott
and, if this occurs, feed a wet
mash to hasten production.
Question: How can | keep my
hams from souring?
Answer: Strict sanitation in
handling the animals both before
and after killing is necessary to
prevent this spoilage. Do not over
heat the animals before killing
and be sure to bleed the animals
well after killing. All animal heat
should be out of the meat before
curing. Scald all curing vessels
and boil all water used in the
brine. Each piece Of meat should
be rubbed with salt before curing
and, if brine cured, the brine
should be examined every few
days. When smoking, hang the
meat six to eight feet above the
fire.
Question: What is Il good IA
ton to give calf six months old
that has been abruptly taken from
its mother?
Answer: The winter ration of
a SlX-monthS old heifcr should
consist largely of a good leafy
green colOred legume hay. Usually
two to three pounds daily is suf-
ticlent. A good grain ration is
composed of three parts, bv
weight, Of cracked yellow corn,
one part Of crushed oats, and one
part wheat bran. Salt should be
placed in the stall so that the calf
can get it when desired and fresh
water should be offered at least
twice day. In addition to the
iced 1t is important that the calf
be provided with a well beddcd
stall so that it can keep comfort

PARKERS UNDER
 NEW INDICTMENT

New York, March 8-(UP)-Ellis H. Parker. New Jersey detective chief who played prominent part in the delayed execution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the murder of the Lindbergh baby, and his son, Ellis, Jr, were indicted by the fed eral grand jury in Brooklyn today on charges of Kidnapping Paul H. Wendell, former Trenton attorney.
 Murray Bleefeld, Harry Weiss, and Martin Schlosman, who Wendell said kidnapped him and forced him into confessing the murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., also were named defendants in the indict- ment.
 Parker, former chief of the Bur lir Gton county, N. J., detective bu- reau, has succeeded for several months in thwarting the efforts of New York authorities who sought to eXtradite him from New Jersey to stand trial on the Wendell charges.
 Both former Governor Harold C.. Hoffman and A. Harry Moore, in- cumbent, have refused to extradite the father and son. They have been indicted on the same charge in the Brooklyn county court.

 He urged adoption of his amend ment which would permit congress to override reorganization proposals of the president by majority vote rather than a two-thirds vote as now i'll the bill.
 This bill takes away entirely the power of congress and turns it over to the president" Wheeler said. "He could abolish functions of the gov- ernment."

 Despite poor sales showings, auto- mobile issues met support on hopes the market for use cards was mov- ing better, opening for heavier sales of new cars. Chrysler rallied from 49%, of 1H, to above the previous close of 51. General Motors showed a small gain near the close.
 Most encouraging to traders was a rally in the railroad division. Santa Fe touched B 1-8 and near the close was around 35, against a previous close of 34 IA. Central showed a fractional gain. Union Pacific halved loss of more than 3 points.
 Steel issues came back to frac- tional net gains. Non-ferrous metals came back under lead of Anaconda. Oils rallied and several had small net gains.
 Late in the session small gains were noted in Allis Chalmers, Boe- ing Airplane, Deere & O., Electric Power & Light, General Electric, North American Aviation, U. s. Rub- Der issues and U. S. Smelling. A recovery in U. s. Rubber shares was sweeping.
 The rally held to the close and most leaders closed at the best levels of the session. Trading picked up slightly but the net result for the day was only slight improvement over yester Jay.
