Sheep Are
Increasing

College Station, Raleigh, July 49,
I-Gradlng and cooperative selling OF
lambs are having marked influ-
methods in western North Carolina,
L, 1. Nasc, extension amman nus
bandman at State College, said to-
day.
IN practically all of the mountain
counties Wnere sheep raising is on
Well-established basis, farmers are
planning to increase the size of their
flockS, Largely because OF the good
prices received at the cooperative
pools arranged ny county 1arm
agents,
Case said at three recent ship
ments from Ashe, Ailegnany, and
J Watauga counties, farmers sold L.
| 101 lambs. Additional eve lambs
were graded and sold to growers to
be added to their present flOcks or
for the establishment of new flocks.
AS an example of the interest
being shown in better methods of
raising sheep, Case pointed out Hen
| ry Taylor OF Vale CruciS. At this
years sale, Taylor sold IA lambs,
seven Of which graded choice and
the other seven good. Last year,
this farmer sold "a lambs, but only
one Of the entire lot graded choice.
Case quoted Taylor as saying that
after the 1887 sale he intended to
improve his methods or go out of
| the sheep business. SO ne culled
his ewes, improved his pastures,
purchased a better ram, and watch
ed closely for stomach worms. His
remarkable success at this years
sale indicated clearly the superiority
of improved methods.

tages of grading was furnished by

Farm Program
In 1910 Aids
Small Grower

College Station, Raleigh, July 18.
Increased emphasis on soil conser-
vation and greater opportunity for
small farmers are the two outstand-
ing features of the 1910 AAA pro-
gram, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive
officer .rat State College, announced
today.
Following his return from WASH
ington, where he aided in presenting
recommendations for the 1910 pro-
gram, Floyd said the responsibility
OF administration will continue in the
hands of farmer committees, as has
been the case in past years.
An important recommendation af-
fecting soil conservation of special
benefit to small growers was that
there be established a minimum soil
building allowance of $40 a farm.
Anoth&r important conservation rec
ommerdation would allow farmers
to earn up to $50 a farm for tree
planting. This would be in addition
to the regular soil building allowance
for the farm.
State and local AAA committeeman
will have more responsibility for the
field administration of crop insur-
ance and loans. This, he explained,
is in line with the established AAA
policy of decentralizing administra-
ton of the program wherever pos
sible.
'The national conference was held
a month earlier this year than last
Floyd said. ''This will give growers
in 1910 a better opportunity than
ever to know we'll in advance of the

Peanut Crop
Slightly Up

College Station, Raleigh, July 49,.
Preliminary figures place North
Carolina's 1889 peanut crop at 262,-
900 acres, an increase of $4,000 acres
over 1885 production, DR.. |. O..
Schaub, director Of the State Col
lege Extension Service, revealed to-
day.
At the same time, Virginia's 1899
acreage of III, 900 represents an in
crease of 5000 acres. The increase,
mate by the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture for the two states, is
slightly more than 4 per cent.
DR.. Schaub said the advance fig
ures for the entire Southeastern pea
nut-producing region indicated an
increase Of 900 acres this year
over the planted acreage for 1888, or
a gain of slightly less than 10 per
cent.
The State College extension di-
rector explained that the prelimi-
nary figures do not take in the large
acreage of peanuts interplanted with
other crops They refer simply to
peanuts grown alone for all purposes.
However," he said. $50 far as
North Carolina and Virginia are con-
cerned, these advance figures will
come close to the final total"
In commenting on the present mar
ket situation, DR.. Schaub quoted the
U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics as saying prices are continuing
firm for best JUMBO peanuts. In fact
many growers who have good jun
hos on hand still prefar tO hold tha1,o
in hope that sufficient demand may
develop to boost prices before the
end of the season.
The growing crop in Virginia and
North Carolina is unusually good this
year, with the condition percentage
given in the July 10 report as 79
compared with an average of 73 per
cent for the entire country.

ders why they, who are, by and
large, as we'll off as the rest of the
country, should suddenly give over
the Well-being which they have won
for themselves and begin seeking
martyrdom.
Especially when one considers the
grleVous plight of Jews elsewhere
IN the world one would expect their
leaders to rejoice in the state of
tolerance which exists today in our
country.
But DR.. Lewisohn does not find
that state of tolerance does eX-
list. With great bitterness he quotes
contemporary criticism of his peo-
pie and foresees a time when. on
one protext or another, they will
meet with active persecution in
America. And it is this aspect of
his book which has made the re-
viewer characterize the work as sad
dening. 1t is all too obviously the
writing OF man who has brooded
on Wrongs-real and ungainsayable
Wrongs-so long that he cannot trust
anything. So he calls upon his
people, in the name of those past
wrongs, to unite and give the world
an example of steadfastness. of
courage and religious loyalty. Alas,
one wants to ask him, are there not
martyrs enough in these unhappy
times?
