If, therefore, growers are using as
much or more fertilizer than they
did by this time last year, it means
but one thing, in our opinion; and
that is that the lost tobacco acreage
Of last year is being used for other
crops this year. Perhaps they have
found some kind of solution to the
problems left them in the wake of
1889.

we have tried to keep our fingers
on the pulse o fthe planters outlook
toward the success that may come
through the 1910 crops.
Martin D. Hammond, Of the Green
Sea, S. c., community, says that
farmers living neal him have been
hard hit two years in succession.
First by hail, which practically de-
stroyed their 1888 tobacco crop, and
next, by the combinations that put
the price average unusually low last
wear. But they are a spirited lot of
planters, and are going ahead with
their work as if each year had been
a stepping stone of success. Mr..
Hammond also said some Of the
planters who had lost tobacco by
hail storms two years ago, are just
now getting insurance checks, TAX
ing care Of the damages. Others had
already been paid.
Heck Lovett, one of the most pros
porous farmers Of tha Spring Branch
section, near Fair Bluff, says that
things look pretty good this year.

tobacco outcome, as many weights

1rksene Vereen and Wallace Mintz,
Of the Exum community, Of Bruins

much brighter than The early winter
months seemed to promote, but there
is still a little dissatisfaction over
the tobacco acreage allotments. The
major complaint so far seems to be
over the little man who had only
an acre or two under the free-for-all
conditions. Some of these, it was
said, had been cut down as low as
one.tenth acre. Nevertheless, there
is the least grumbling this time we
have heard following any control
plan. This might be due to the fact
that nearly every farmer growing to-
bacco got fed up last year on over
production.

HOG FEED SURVEY
BEING CONDUCTED

RALEIGH, April IA survey to
determine the extent Of garbage
feeding of hogs is being undertaken
in North Carolina, along with other
states and selected areas, H. w.
Taylor, Extension swine specialist
of State college, announced today.
County farm agents are asked to re-
port on the problem, which is the
cause Of much disease, both animal
and human.
Taylor said that the bureau Of
agricultural economics is conduct
ing the survey on a nationwide
basis. with the cooperation Of the
Extension services Of the various
states.
Some Of the questions being
asked are: How many farms or es-
adjustments are there which feed
out 100 or more hogs a year with
garbage? How many garbage-fed
hogs are fed and marketed in a
year? What proportion Of these
hogs are fed exclusively on gar
bage, without grain supplement? Do
the garbage feeders pay for the
garbage, or for the privilege of col
lecting it Has any outbreak Of
disease, either swine or human,
ever occurred which was associated
with garbage feeding? Is garbage
feeding a growing or declining en-
terprise?
The Extension specialist said that
the major evils Of garbage feeding
of hogs are: Hogs frequently de-
velop cholera from eating raw meat
scraps, and they also will become
infested with trichina, an eel.like
parasite. There is likewise a strong
possibility that garbage will be un.
balanced in vitamins, consisting in
the major part Of bread or some
other food.

in January of this year farmers OF
North Carolina received $~7,591,000
from crops as compared with $5,-

higher returns from tobacco, cot

during the same month the cash

1889 to $2,S41, 900 in 1910. Income
from all types of livestock products
except dairy products declined.
The total income from farm mar
