First Thought Of Every
Farmer Should Be Subsis-
tence, Says Agent Cardwell
GUY A..
General Agricultural Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Gn~naru

lhere is no mystery about a
sound system of agriculture. aside
from those residing in certain spec.
ialized farming areas, the first
thought of every farmer should be
subsistence and second, disposal
OF SURPRISES. Any one crop farm
ing system is uneconomical, un-
sound and hazardous.
Farms generally in the South
should be more self-sustained. AS
far as possible all food and feed
needed for man and beast should
be produced on the farm. Such
a self-sustaining program is es-
sential to the well-being of agri-
culture. This program includes
summer and winter gardens, small
grains, legumes, and COWS, hogs,
and poultry on every farm.
Every farmer should grow more
than n crop. He should become
expert with such crops, not only
in the production but in the hand
ling and in the marketing. He will
thus spread his risks and guaran-
tee operations against the hazards
inherent to a one-crop system.
Marketing is largely a local prob.
lem; a pressing problem in most
sections. excepting a few crops. It
cannot be solved by the farmer
alone. 1t is essentially a problem
for the business men of the cities
and towns to solve.
Marginal or less productive lands
should not be planted in cotton or
tobacco or other one row crops.
Much of the agricultural loss in
the South is caused by planting
crops on lands that yield less than
the present average production. It
does not pay to plant tobacco and
cotton on lands that yield less than
average yields, and if you have
such lands I would suggest that
they be reforested or put to other
uses than the growing of tobacco
and cotton.
A definite soil building program
should be followed. Rotation of
crops, the planting of legumes and
the use of farm measures should
be utilized as means of restoring
and increasing the fertility of the
soil, thereby increasing crop pro-
duction.
More attention should be given
to the production of high-quality
products and the methods c
sary to produce high yields per
acre. The surest way to increase
from farm production is by grow
ing a better product and more of
it on each acre employed. A de-
termining factor in what it costs
to produce each pound of tobacco
and cotton, bushel of wheat, or bar
rel of potatoes is the number of
pounds, bushels, or barrels obtain
ed from each acre. AS the yield is
increased the unit cost comes
down. Lowered unit costs increases
net income just as directly as
prices. And increased per
acre yields depend primarily upon
adequate supply of plant food,
IN conjunction with sound farm
management practices.
1t is desirable that credit be
utilized more efficiently by those
who obtain it and given with care
discrimination by those who
control it. The demand for produc-
ton credit will be less in a balanc-
ed farm program than under a
crop system.

GRAIN PLANTING
URGED BY BLAIR
Says Farmers In Flooded
Areas Should Produce Hay,
And Grazing Crops

RALEIGH Sept. 30 E. c.
Blair, extension agronomist of N.
c. State college, today urged far
mers in the recently flooded areas
of Eastern and Western North Car
dina to plant grain, hay and graz.
ing crops to carry their families
and livestock over the winter and
spring seasons. He made specific
recommendations of crops suitablc
for the affected areas.
For 10th sections, Blair suggests
three acres of wheat per family
or more if the AAA allotment per-
mits, II be used for flour or for
poultry and hog feed. "a good sup
plement to corn as a feed is oats,
and one acre should be planted
for each mule, COW or each 100
hens" he continued. Barley car
be substituted for corn, and one
acre should be planted for each
mule, brood sow, two COWS, or 100
hens"
The agronomist. likewise recon-
mends small mixtures or Grim
son clover as hay crops for both
the Coastal Palm and the noun
tains. One acre should be planted
for each mule or COW.
Grazing crops should be seeded
at the rate of n acre for each
four mules or horses, two cows,
or two brood sows," Balir stated.
The grain mixture suggested for
hay crops also may be grazed,
and likewise the crimson clover
suggested for hay. Then another
good grazing crop is a rye mixture
or a clover mixture containing
Italian rye grass"
The specialist said thu. county
farm agents are prepared to as
sist farmers in determining tn e
correct varieties and amounts Of
seed to use. He also pointed out
that the Farm Security Admins
tration is prepared to make loans
to farmers who lost their f e ed
crops as the. result of the floods.
This does not mean that every
farmer will be able to Obtain a
loan fro mthe FSA, but those farm
ers who are in a position to put
into effect a longtime soil-conser-
walton program should have no
trouble" he said. 4

Southern Farms Should
Be More Self-Sustained
Good Cotton Yield
Reported In Wayne

~GOLDSBORO, Sept. 20. -
Leading cotton producers of
Wayne county report n of
their best cotton yields and
staple since 1927, s: Us C. S.
Mintz, farm agent of the State
College Extension Service.
During the growing season,
approximately 80 per cent of
Wayne's lint farmers mopped
their cotton according to in
structions of the extension
Service.
Seed breeders, the Depart
ment of Agriculture, CONNER
cial firms, and the extension

part in assisting farmers in the
production Of this crop, Mintz
said.

cried for during the recent quiet
years. are being put away in

Except for such officers as may

department says blue dress and
white uniforms are no longer re-
quired for wear at social functions
"of an official nature after re-

RAZOR BLADES
HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Baked potatoes will be more
mealy if piece is cut from either
end of the potato.
Frozen Meat. - Meat thawed
quickly is likely to be tough. Keep
frozen meat in warm place be-
fore cooking.
Easy to Remove Stopper.-Dip
the stopper of a mucilage bottle in
paraffin before putting it into the
bottle and it will not stick.
A porous pot allows water to
evaporate and this is a bad fea-
ture in warm dry houses. Plants
in clay pots tend to develop a root
system between the soil and the
pot with very few roots in the
soil itself.
Save Christmas Cards.-Little
folks can spend many a happy
hour cutting out figures from
Christmas cards. Instruct them
to leave a small flap on the bot
tom of each figure, flap to be fold
ed over, permitting figure to stand
up.
Delicious Salad Dressing.-One
teaspoon of chopped maraschino
cherries and one tablespoon Of
orange juice, added to boiled salad
dressing, makes delicious dress
ing for fruit salads.
Two coats of thin Shellac give a
hardwood floor a much better fin
ish than one thick one. First coat
must be thoroughly dried before
second is applied.
Sift the Flour.-Flour has a
tendency to pack down, especially
fine wheat flour. One may easily
put as much as an extra cup Of
flour in recipe if it is not sifted
before measuring.
For a breakfast treat, mix Gin
namon and sugar and spread on
hot buttered toast.
Leftover Sweet Potatoes.-Left-
over baked or boiled sweet pota-
toes can be converted into appe-
tizing dishes. One of these is to
mash two cups potatoes and mix
to a soft paste by adding milk
Season; then add half cup boiled
maple syrup and one-fourth cup
butter. Bake in a moderate oven
until the top begins to crystalline.
Serve hot.

PAN AMERICA:
Neutrality

While U. S. naval officers were
grumbling about their patrol duties
in the winter-swept Atlantic, the in
ter-American neutrality committee
met at Rio de Janeiro. Purpose:
To make the 300-mile neutrality belt
around the Americas more effective,
preventing recurrence of the Graf
Spec, Columbus and Orion incidents.
Plans:
Cd An agreement to prevent bel
ligerent craft from obtaining sup
plies or making repairs in a PAN
American port once they had COM
mitted belligerent acts inside the
safety zone.
(2) An accord to keep submarines
outside the zone except under emer-
gency, when they must rise to the
surface.
90 A Pan-American code of neu-
trality, to be followed by all nations.
Many Americans, who see their
government paying most of the
freight for the neutrality patrol,
viewed the entire proceedings as
rather futile and inequitable. But
not the department of commerce.
Released were figures showing the
gain in exports to Latin America,
last November having brought $685.
986,000 in sales against S23, $40, 900 a
year earlier. This item was most in
teresting; if the U. S. continues
safeguarding hemispherical neutral
ity, will it continue upward? Equally
important, will this increase justify
the neutrality expense?
