STATE TOBACCO MEN
EXPECT BETTER PRICES

Wilson, July 29-Eastern Caro-
lima tobacconists and farmers re-
mained optimistic today about the
probable prices on the eastern
Carolina tobacco market opening
August % and indicated that the
prices being paid on the Georgia
markets at the present are no cri-
terion of the prices that might be
paid here.
Several in this section commented
that "the prices are higher there
than we thought they would be for
the quality of the tobacco.

One more point about making
quality lespedeza hay has to do with
quick. curing. Moisture content of
lespedeza is normally lower than
most hay plants SO that curing does
not take long. Lespedeza raked soon
after moving, preferably with a
side-delivery rake, often may be put
in the barn the day it is cut and
normally it is ready to store away
as soon as dew dries off the following
day. To allow the lespedeza to be ex-
posed to sun, dew and possible rain
fall longer than is necessary is to
lower the quality of the hay

WAYNE STRONG FOR
USE OF SOIL CROPS

Goldsboro, July 29.-The increased
acreage of TOBACCO in Wayne coun-
ty has by no means decreased the
acreage devoted to soil-building,
reports Farm Agent c. S. Mintz.
The cotton acreage taken out of
production has been planted in corn
and soil-building crops and the
farmers VINO have overplanted their
tobacco allotment still are following
the purpose of the Agricultural
Conservation program in other
ways.
Agent Mintz said the Wayne les
pedeza crop is excellent and that
the acreage seeded is SO per cent
over that of last year.

When to Cut Lespedeza for Hay

Immature plants make the best
hays and lespedeza is no exception
to this rule. Lespedeza cut before
or during blooming and before an
appreciable amount of leaves have
dropped off makes much better hay
than if cut when seed has formed.
Green cured leaves, and not seed,
should be the objective in making
hay.
Early cut lespedeza gives almost
as large a yield as late cut hay when
an increased amount Of grass and
weeds in late hay is taken into con-
sideration the early cut hay really
will produce as much lespedeza as
the late harvested crop. Some gain
in height of plants occurs but as the
season advances leaves are lost that
tend to prevent any great increase in
total weight Of the hay crop. The loss
of leaves lowers the quality of the
hay.
EARLY cut lespedeza normally
makes a second growth that furn-
ishes an abundance OF seed for re-
seeding. In fact, sometimes a seed

Poultry Suggestions

Now is the time to plan for your
poultry green feed supply for fall
and winter. Italian Rye grass and
Crimson clover make excellent poul-
try grazing. These may both be sown
in September. These two crops may
be seeded alone or together, the time
of seeding and grazing of both being
about the same. Rye grass, in ex-
periments in North Carolina, has
proven to be one Of the very best
fall and winter green crops and WIN
ter grazing for poultry is a very i'm
portant factor in the winter egg sup
ply.
Oats are first choice of cereals for
poultry grazing, with barley second.
Oats may be seeded anytime now
However, for long grazing period,
wait until late September or early
October. You may securesa to 8
weeks grazing period this fall; then
have similar period in the spring.
Since many poultry raisers are
experiencing considerable loss from
theft of chickens, we wish to call
your attention to an inexpensive,
practical burglar alarm system de-
signed by the Agricultural Engineer
ing Department. The poultry house
on the average farm can be equipped
with such a system for $1,000 to
$500. The plan provides for a sys-
tenn using dry cell batteries if cleo
trio current is not available on the
farm. The plan is simple and easy to
install and is positive in operation.
1t does not require the services of
an electrician to make the installa-
ton. Your county or home agent can
supply you with these plans.

INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE
DISSATISFACTION is deve,0Dinp with

DISSATISFACTION is developing with the loca-
ton of industrial hygiene units outside of
|state departments of labor. This feeling results
from the unseemly performance of government
leXpert testfying against compensation for an in
|iured worker Under Title vi of the Social Secur-
Iity Act :S, ,00O, 900 is made available annually to
1.-THE United States Public Health Service for the
purpose of helping states, counties, health dis
|trcts and other political subdivisions of states to
maintain more adequate health services. Funds
|are allotted to states for industrial hygiene only
lon the condition that the work be administered by
|the Health Department. The result has been ad-
|ministrative activity without knowing the prob
liens and difficulties of workers.
A worker subjected to a dust hazard may de-
lvelop scosis but unless he can prove exposure
lhe cannot show the employers responsibility. Two
things necessary to this proof are access to the
|plant and ability to collect scientific data to prove
Exposure. The government industrial hygienist

OLD AGE INSURANCE AMENDMENTS

4 Senate resolution adopted in the last Congress
authorized the Advisory Committee consist
ing of representatives of labor, employers and the
public to study old-age insurance provisions and
make recommendations for improvements. This
COMMITTEE has uSt submitted it's report. It's rec
are sound and will substantially lib
eraze our present system.
The Committee recommended that coverage be
eXtended to provide insurance for Seamen, agrcul-
tural and domestic workers; for employees of such
government agencies as engaged in functions not
necessarily governmental such as Home Loan
Corporation, member banks of the Federal Re-
IserVe; employees of agencies engaged in education
Ia charitable or other welfare work for no profit
because of the administrative difficulties involved
the Committee did not recommend extension tC
persons but urged study of the prob
lem.
Recommendations to liberalize benefits include
allowance for aged wives of insured workers eli
'gible to benefits provided the wives are 65 and
that the marriage occurred before the husband in
question was 60 years of age. Widows of insured
persons eligible to benefits shall continue to re-
lceive benefits should the husband die Widows of
insured workers not yet eligible shall receive q
widows allowance if children are dependent on
her, together with allowance for each dependent
child If aged wife is eligible to benefit based
IOn her own employment, larger than the widows
allowance, she shall be entitled to her own insur-
lance. Payment Of old-age benefits is recommended
Ito be advanced from 1910 to 1912.
The Committee recommends funds for more
liberal payments from two sources: contributions
from the Federal Government and less liberal ben
Iefits for unmarried workers.
The Committee recommended that the Old Age
Insurance Fund be made trust fund with direct,
Iors charged with its management small con.
|tingent fund should be kept available for ready
IuSe in the Treasury
1t was deemed unwiSe to recommend benefits
for total disability at this time but it was recon-
Imendcd that further study be given to determine
w Etc l,a
The Committee recommended that the 4, pei
Icent contribution 90 into effect and that study be
made to determine future financial policies and
THAT similar studies be made at regular intervals
The report presents such maturely considered
proposals that it is met with practically general
approval. The American Federation of Labor viii
heartily approve legislation to put these recon-.
ImendatOnS into effect.

Criticized Oregon Law Is
Backed By Security Board

Washington, ID. c. ULNS). = The
Social Security Board has certified the
Oregon unemployment compensation
law which was sharply criticized by
representatives of organized labor at
hearings in Washington last December.
The board said that recent amend
ments to the law, enacted in November
by initiative proceedings, removed OBJ
jections to the measure.
The question before the board arose
out of provisions in the statute which
regulated the activities of labor groups
and organizations. Subsequently, the
state legislature enacted law retro
active in it's application which incor-
porateS in the state unemployment
compensation law the requirements of
the Social Security Act, thus making
certain that unemployment compensa-
ton benefits shall not be denied to in
dividuals who refuse to accept new
jobs under "yellow-dog contracts" or
under sub-standard labor conditions,
or vacant by reason Of strike, lock-
out, or other labor dispute.
The legislation, and the fact that
no worker had been denied benefits
under any such circumstances, made
it possible for the board to determine
that the Oregon law conformed with
the standards of the Social Security
Act, and could be certified for tax
credits for the year 1888, the board
announced.

TO MAKE DEMOCRACY WORK
HELD VITAL TASK OF NATION

Greeneville, Tenn. QLNS).-James
P. Pope, new director of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, praised the IVA
here as an attempt to make democracy
work more efficiently through wise use
of natural resources.
Pope, former senator from Idaho,
spoke at Tusculum College,
He said that the IVA is essentially
democratic because it seeks to preserve
human initiative and at the same time
distribute the benefits of natural re-
sources to all residents of the Tennes-
see Valley.
"The totalitarian state" Pope said,
"is spreading its influence over Europe
and the Orient and even reaching, we
suspect, into parts of America. The
great battle cry of the dictators is
that democracy is inefficient Let
us fling back the answer that democ-
racy will work, that democracy can be
efficient, that under it we can preserve
our civil liberties, and at the same
time solve the social and economic
problems with which which we are
faced"

ABOUT "TAX EATERS"

(From the Government Standard)
Some years ago The Wisconsin State
Journal carried an editorial that caus-
ed much comment throughout Wiscon-
sin and it's neighbor states. The edi-
torial, headed "The Tax Eaters,' went
on to analyze the benefits the people
of Wisconsin had received from taxes
The writer, A. M. Brayton, reached the
following conclusion:
at is an odd thing that the COM
plant against these public agencies
as tax eaters largely directs itself at
the wages of the personnel that does
the work. They amount to practically
nothing, compared with the benefits
We should constantly keep in mind the
fundamental fact that in great many
human activities Government can dc
the job far better and far more eco
nomically than the individuals each fol
himself. think that a complete scien-
tific analysis of the whole situation OF
our people as affected by Government
would prove conclusively that, admit
ting occasional failures of sound ad-
ministration, and occasional drones
and incompetents on the payroll, the
best investment made annually in the
state of Wisconsin is the investment
in taxes"
1t might be we'll for some critics to
apply the same yardstick of invest
ment to the activities of the Federal
Government and it's employees.

UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION

: L n important article was published recently in
I the Federationist by an engineer who has done
t much to advance understanding of labor-managc-
e ment relations and to point to consent and cooper
9 alton as the only sound bases for such relations
The article wisely says that industry is the most
promising field in which to learn the principles and
, procedures of democracy What is learned Of dem,
! ocracy in this basic field will be carried over tC
political and social relations. Unless there is de-
mocracy in industry it cannot permanently be
maintained in other relations.
Workers organize in unions for the purpose OF
making contractural relationship the basis OF
unon-management relations. Contract is basco
upon understanding and consent implying definite
provisions and obligations. Once the employer &C
scepts the right Of employees to representation
through union executives relations are lifted from
the level Of battle and struggle for rights to that
of conference to determine facts and agree upor
policies. After management adopts a policy Of col
ective bargaining with the representatives Of
union, the next major step in democracy in indus
try is to set up cooperative relations for deermn
ing work procedures that management may
have the benefit of the experience Of those wht
handle materials and carry out work orders.
Carrying on such cooperative relations is al

EXAMPLE OF A STATE LABOR OFFICIAL

WHAT the labor department of d big industrial
" state can do, not only for labor but for the
rest of the producing population, is well shown by
the annual report Of Frieda S. Miller, Industrial
Commissioner of New York. Speaking in kind
of foreword, she tells the people of her state that
all of them are interested in good labor laws and
good labor administration, which make for the
prevention of industrial unrest.
Just as it is true that a plague destroying
wheat fields takes bread out of the mouths not
only of those who till the SOIL but of all who eat
$50 it is true that strike or shutdown which
SilcncCs the wheels of industry Nndermines the
strength, not only of workers and employees who
arc made idle, but Of the grocer, the butcher, the
banker and the clerk
Which is Just a common sense way of saying
t. Miss Miller deals with the state labor laws as
If dealing with those of nation-and indeed it
lis open question if Belgium or any lesser natio,
Ihas as many workers as New York State. She
scores the chlselng employer who wants to give
Ian apprentice rate" for work that needs no train
|ing-and her words apply as clearly IN Texas pc
'can factories as III New York candy factories.
