GRAIN MARKETING
FACILITIES URGED
Darst Says Farmers Should
Make Effort To Recap
ture Lost Markets
BY LOUIS H. WILSON, Editor

N. C. Department of Agriculture
RALEIGH, Aug. l8.-R-W it'll
millers now importing approx
mately 80 per cent of the grains
used in making flour in North
Carolina, farmers should rise up"
and demand grading and market
inl facilities that will enable them
to recapture lost markets, w. H.
Darst, marketing specialist of the
State Department Of Agriculture,
said today.
when growers, in sufficient
numbers, demand a small grain
grading service, the departments
markets division stands ready to
give every assistance possible in
promoting the sale and marketing
of homegrown grains" he en-
phasized. with decreases in to.
bacco acreage certain in 1941, OBJ
iously many farmers will seed
more wheat, oats, and bari
ey. Therefore, it is necessary for
farmers to better their marketing
practices if they are 10 supple
ment their incomes from sale Of
these grains"
According to information obtain.
ed by Darst, "only 20 per cent
of the grain ground in North Caro-.
lima for flour came from the fields
of Tar Heel farmers"
However, in addition to market.
ing practices, farmers must inn
prove the quality of their grains
to meet the demands of the manu-.
facturer as to flour and feeds
Darst declared.
There is an increased interes'
in the state afford farmers a good
in North Carolina" he added
THE combined value of w h e a t
oats and barley has now reached
$500, 900 annually. Approximately
$50 feed and flour mills operating
in the state afford farmers a gooe
market for their grain and it is
well known fact that they can use
much more grain than is now pro
duced."
The marketing specialist EN-
phasized that wheat to be ground
for flour should grade No. 2, Rec
Winter OF better, which mean;
that it must weight at least 81
pounds per bushel and contain no
more than four per cent total dam
age or over two per cent of seeds
and materials other than wheat
adding that 'it is equally import
ant that the farmer offer qualiy
grains to the feed mills"
Darst's report on the grain ane
feed market conditions in N O !
Carolina last season revealed that;
Some grains offered for S a
were of high quality, but the maj.
ority ranged in quality down to the
poorest grade - garlicky, week
ly and mouldy.
1.-The most serious defect il
wheat grown in this state is ligh
weight per bushel," he said. "Thi.
defect cost growers thousands O.
dollars"
1.-THE markets division is anxiou:
to render farmers adequate mar
keting and grading services, bu
grains containing onions, weevil.
and damage resulting from pool
storage conditions will never brins
a premium price"

RALEIGH, Aug. 18.-R-Carefu
picking and handling of seed cot
ton at harvest time will net grow
ers from one to ten dollars a bale
j. c. Ferguson, cotton ginning spe'
cialist of the N. C. State college
extension service, said today.
With North Cardinals annua
cotton harvest only a few week
off, Ferguson urged that farmer
bring their cotton to the gin IL
good condition.
MANY improvements have beer
made in modern gins" he said
"but even the m O S up-to-dat'
equipment cannot restore qualit.
that's lost because of careless pick
ing and careless handling. Natur
ally, seed cotton delivered to tn,
gin relatively dry and clean will
turn out better preparation THAI

Sin other words" he continued
the grower suffers a real loss il
the value of his crop when h,
handles his cotton carelessly
There isn't much use to S a
that cotton should be picked a,
soon as it is ready, because mos
farmers realize that exposure tt
the sun and wind cuts down thu
limits value"
The U. S. agricultural market
ing service recently estimated tina
prompt picking will save the farm
Ell from two cents to two dollar;

Repeated tests have shown tina
exposure in the field for foul
weeks usually results in Lowering.

caused by dust and other foreigl
matter blown into the bolls Will,

Ferguson pointed out the mad
visibility of picking cotton when i
is heavy with dew u rain, sincs
damp cotton will not gin properly
After a heavy dew or rain, grow
ers should wait until 9 or 10 o'clocl
in the morning, if possible, to picl
This wait will give the sun
chance to dry the bolls.
A smart practice, the state col
lege specialist said; is mixing ear
ly morning picked cotton and tina
gathered later in the day before i
is hauled to the gin. Mixing make:
the seed cotton through the entire
load uniform,
He also urged that growers take
just enough cotton to the gin tt
produce bales weighing approx
mately 500 pounds, since buyers
will figure prices down on too.

Publicity Man Given
Chance 10 Answer
Patman's S Charges
Dies Inquiry Will Hear
Answer to Accusation He
Represented Nuzis

Carl Byoir, New York publicity
man. today was offered an oppor-
tunity to answer before the Dies
Committee charges that he had
directed Nazi publicity in this coun-
try.
The New Yorker, twice assailed
on the floor of the House by Repre-
sentative Patman, Democrat, of
Texas, yesterday wrote Chairman
Dies of the House Committee on Un-
American Activities urging that Mr..
Patman's charges be investigated
Disclaiming connection with the
Nazi government, he blamed the at
tack by Mr. Patman to the fact that
he had opposed the Patman bill to
curb chain stores for the past two
years,
Denies Approaching Congress.
II am publicist, not lobbyist" !"
he wrote. Never during that en-
ployment have I directly or indi-
rectly approached any member Of
Congress or any official of the Gov
eminent to attempt to influence
them in connection with this or any
other legislative matter"
Mr.. Bvoir told Mr.. Dies that in
1888 his firm had a contract with
the German federal railroads to
promote travel in Germany.
Nothing was done under this
contract" he said, that could by
any stretch of the imagination be
termed American or Nazi propa-
ganda. This contract was Cancelled
by me in 1884. For six years we
have had no contract of any sort
with any foreign interest or foreign
government except in connection
with civilian relief in China"
Investigator Will Go to Boston.
Among other things, Mr.. Patman
said that Mr.. Byoir and George Syl-
vester Viereck, the author, com
menced to represent Nazi Germany
soon after Hitler came into power" "
The Dies committee arranged yes
terday to send an investigator to
Boston to look into activities of the
German Consul there in connection
with editorial attacks on Hitler by
the Boston Traveller. The news
paper announced that the consulate
had protested the editorial as an
insult and served notice that it
would refuse to give your paper any
1nformation.'
