WEED SITUATION
IS TERMED DARK
C.. Farmers To Vote On
July 20 For Three Year
Production Control
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor
NJ r. Stofo CoIIauo

RALEIGH, June 23-R-W TIL
the gloomiest situation confronting
them since 1882, North Carolina
flue-cured tobacco growers will
vote on a plan July 20 which
would control their leaf production
for the next three crops.
E. Y. Floyd, AA executive Of
ficer of N. c. State collge, said
today that the present crisis in
Europe has made necessary this
longtime controlled production. In
past AAA ~referenda, growers have
voted only on their next crop.
Coupled with demoralized foreign
markets, a 400, 600, 000-pound sur
plus for 1895 record-breaking
crop has to be reckoned with, the
AAA official siad. Last years
crop, produced without AAA quo
tas, amounted to 1,160, 900, $1,000
pounds, "a per cent higher than
the previous record Of 1887.
Thus, Floyd said, the hugh sur
plus will continue to depress the
market until it is eliminated. Even
before the European War started
last September, average prices to
growers had already fallen eight
cents a pound below the 22.9 cents
average for the previous five
years.
with consumption at the present
sent level of approximately 775,-
600, 900 pounds annually, and with
allotments equal to those of 1910,
and with normal yields per acre,
it will require three more years
to eliminate the 1899 surplus"
Floyd pointed out.
Commenting on the war and ex-
ports, the State college man said
exports during the five-year period
1934-38 represented about SO per
cent of the United States produc-
ton for those years.
If the same proportion, that is
so per cent, of the 1889 crop had
been exported, it would have
amounted to a total of $50, 900, 900
pounds. Instead, because of tn e
present upheaval, 1899 exports dur
ing the current year will not be
more than 275, 900, 900 to 800, O00-
600 pounds.
In recent years, exports to Great
Britain, France, Germany, Bel:
GUM, The Netherlands, Denmark,
and Norway have represented
from two-thirds to three-fourths OF
the the total f%lue-cured left ship
ped outside the United States.
Any farmer who will share in
the proceeds from the 1910 crop
will be eligible to vote in the cSn.-
ing referendum, Floyd said. 3

GRADING OF HAY
URGED BY DARST
Says Farmers Can Obtain
Good Price Premium
Through Practice
BY LOUIS H. WILSON
Editor N. C. Department Of
Agriculture


RALEIGH, June 23.-(P}-A 80
per cent price premium" can be
obtained by North Carolina produc-
ers of market hay through the adop.
ton of proper grading practices.
That is the opinion of w. H.
Darst, associate marketing specialist
of the state department Of agricul-
ture, who said today that Tar Heel
farmers have almost unlimited pos
sibilities in the production of hay as
a supplementary cash crop"
--latest crop report statistics list
the value of hay in the state at ap.
proximately s14, 500, 000," Darst said.
Last year the increase in produc-
ton was more than so per cent above
the pas ten-year average"
Lespedeza, soybean, cowpeas and
peanut hay constitute the principal
market hays in North Carolina land
all these types have excellent feed
ing value as verified by experiments
conducted by DR.. C. D. Grinnells
of N. C. agricultural experiment
station" he added.
1.-The production of hay is a com
paratively new industry in this
state. Many farmers lack the knowl
edge and equipment necessary fol
the production of high quality hay
but they have the and re
sourcefulness to add several millior
dollars more to farm cash income Of
the state by growing quality crops
and by adopting approved market
ing methods"
Through a survey Of hay dealers
and distributors, Darst found that
locally grown hay usually lacks
quality, uniformity and is otter
poorly baled."
In order to obtain the best prices
for hay, producers must adopt
the following practices:
l. Now hay at the proper stage
of maturity"
2. Cure the crop as rapidly as pos
sible in order to prevent the loss O.
leaves and feeding value.
3. Adopt proper grading practices
which include the elimination o:
weeds, straw and stubble in order tt
obtain a U. S. grade No. 1 hay.
lone of the essentials Of goot
market hay is that it be well baled,
Darst emphasized. "Hay is a bulk.
material, expensive and difficult t,
handle and store.
Market hay should be baled il
large and uniform-size bales. TIL
most desirable bale will weigh ap
proximately 100 pounds. Smalle,
bales varying in size and weight ar
Objectionable to the trade. Loos'
and broken bales cause considerabl,
Inconvenience and loss to dealers o
hay.
"Legume hays should be balet
with three wires, instead of the Gus
tomary two wires, which permits
normal shrinkage with a minimum
amount of loss from the bale"

Erosion Is Checked
By Few Kudzu Plants

CONCORD, June %. - Ten
years ago F. G. Goodman, Con-
cord. Route 2, gathered a few
armfuls of kudzu trimmings
from a plant used to shade his
porch and set them out on three
acres so badly eroded that no
crop would grow there.
Now, reports Cabarrus Coun.
ty Farm Agent Roy Goodman,
the entire area with the excep-
ton of a small gully has been
covered with the kudzu, and the
erosion has been checked COM
pIetely.
Not only does this hardy plant
check erosion, but 1t furnishes

begun curing. We learned of at least
one farmer who had begun curing in
the Chadbourn section.
There are many patches, we obser-
we'd, that will be late for curing, the
plants being only about a foot high.
Lutus Wise said that he thought
eastern Columbus would begin cur

While riding with some friends in
the Lumberton section of Robertson
county we remarked how beautiful
the tobacco crops were up there.
Then we were informed by u COM
panions that two Of their neighbours,
Trov Groom and Carl Peterson, had
some of the f~inest-looking tobacco
they had seen this year.
J. C. Carroll and A. l.. Dew have
gone into tobacco growing on the

tobacco sells for a fair price this fall
they'll perhaps have plenty OF loose
change after d%educting their ferti'

Already results of this integral

in the the Land Use Program"
In Childress county, Texas, the To-
cal committee suggested that for
estry planting areas should be To-
Gated on land where wind erosion
is most serious. This is being done.
In Beaver county, Oklahoma, the
committee is working with e

discourage farming on poor land,
and in developing individual farm
management plans as a basis for
rehabilitation loans. On the re-

hao been recommending this le-
gislation.
AS time goes on, the problems
which county planning committees
take up will expand. Some of them
are already probing into the use
of land in relation to the diets
farm families get. They are find
ing that not all farm families get
a healthy, safe diet; that more
food for home use could be pro-
duced at home; that families can
be encouraged to shift land into
use for such production; that such
shifts sometimes present knotty
problems to be worked out between
landlords and tenants.
In the South, for instance, the

farm families were to grow the
foods which good diets require and
which could be grown at home. For
the farm families in eight southern
states to get the quantities of milk
and beef they need would mean in
