(Star CORRESPONDENCE

Delco, March g. In the very
heart of the strawberry growing
section, near Chadbourn, is a nice
plantation belonging to L uk e
Mobiles. For years Mr.. Mobiles
has been a successful berry
grower: but this year he says he
will not have any berries. He plow-
ed them under, after becoming dis
couraged by various complications
which he believes hinder better pro-
fits that farmers should have.
Fred Barfield, of the same COM
munity, says that many of the
planters around there are turning
to pepper growing as a money sup
plement to tobacco crops. In fact,
VIZ are not hearing much said these
days, pro o con, about tobacco.
No one seems to be steeling himself
for disappointment! neither does
anyone seem to be gathering en-
thusiasn over the situation. Like
bees working on a cool day, all seem
to be just pledding along with no

although there should be many by
now. That is definite evidence that
the unusually cold weather has re-
tarded possibilities of an early crop.
We have also been curious to get
an estimate on what damage the
cold might prove to have had ON the
berry business, direct from Column
bus county farmers. Their guesses
range from a loss Of o%ne-fourth to
one-half a crop. But this, they hope,
will curtail harvesting expenses, and
still show up a handsome margin of
profit.
Over in the Clarendon and Tabor
City sections the planters are show
ing more interest in Irish potato
and bean growing than in several
years, although these r noted sec
lions of the county for beans and
Irish potatoes. From what we can
gather, the growers are not taking
a long shot at any one crop. A pinch
of this and a bit of that, all taken
with a pinch of salt, seems to sum
marize the variety which comedies
with their crop plots.

LESPEDEZA NEEDED
IN FENDER COUNTY
Brady Says Every Available
Acre Should Be Seeded
Early This Month

There is a need for a larger acre
age seeded to l~espedeza and crotal-
aria in Pender county, says B. j.
Brady, teacher of agriculture at Long
Creek Grady school.
Every acre of small grain to be
harvested and every idle acre of land
on the farm should be seeded to les
pedeza early in March. Here are
some important reasons why Pender
county farmers should grow more
lespedeza:
1t is ono Of the easiest of all crops
to grow, and while growing it fur
nishes wonderful grazing.
If cut before maturity it furnishes
ideal hay, and when allowed to ma
ture it offers fine profits in seed.
If turned under at any stage, grow
ing, maturing, or v after maturl-
ty. it can't be beat as soil improve
ment crop.
The following varieties of lespe-
deza are available to North Caro-
lima farmers Korean, Kobe. Tenn
rs, Common, and serecia.
Of the five varieties no doubt Kobe
is the outstanding variety for hay In
the coastal plain area, while COM
mon is the leading variety for graz
ing.
AS 2. general rule 80 to 35 pounds
of seed per acre is sufficient to in
sure good stand.
Some soils in the county may be
too sandy for lespedeza, and for them
Crotalaria-God's gift to sandy laho
as some one has described it.
Crotalaria is a comparatively new
,eeume and seems to be better adapt
ed to poor sandy land than does les
pedeza.
1t requires no incubation, as> &c
many other lesumes, and on poor
sandy land, it will make two or three
times the vegetative growth OF soy
beans and COW peas. 1t is also ex-
cellent for smothering out harmlui
weeds. and is well adapted to a large
area of poor sandy land in Eastern
North Carolina.

Have Greater Certainty Of
Performance, Asserts
Commissioner Scott
BY LOUIS III. WILSON,,
Editor, N. c. State Department
Of Agriculture

RALEIGH, March 3.-P-Nortl
Carolina farmers can now buy ma
terials to kill plant pests and fungus
diseases with greater certainty oil
performance than at any time in the
states history, Commissioner of Agri.
culture w. Kerr Scott said yester-
day.
Under an amended law by the 1889
general assembly, the states insect
eide and fungicide statute was
renovated to give greater inspec,
tional powers and greater protection
to farmers who buy spraying and
busting materials to be used in con-
trolling insects and fungus diseases
that take a toll of thousands of dol
lars from the income Of growers an
nually, Scott explained.
"The amended law has been rigid
ly enforced since it became effec-
tive January L." Scott said. This
fact is substantiated by the fact that
among samples of insecticides and
fungicides from 81 manufacturers,
only three lots were withheld be-
cause of n or more violations"
Insecticides and fungicides + not
only examined by the state depart
ment of agriculture's chemists for
compliance with guarantees" but
advertising material and manufac-
turer's claims ARE carefully studied
in order to prevent false OF ambigu-
Gus statements" he added.
"One of the important features Of
the amended law is the provision re-
quiring that all insecticides and fun
gicides materials be colored to safe
guard the public in the event hat
the materials might become confus-
ed with food or feed products" The
department has on record several
cases of accidental poisoning result
ing from careless handling and iden-
LITIGATION of pest and disease control
materials. Today, under the law, no
white colored" insecticides or fun
gicides can be sold legally.
Manufacturers are to be COM
mended for their strict adherence to
the provisions of the law" Scott said.
''They realize that the law is as
much protection to the honest man
ufacturer as it is to the farmer"
Meanwhile, in the two months that
the amended statute has been enforc-
ed, department inspectors have taken
samples of the products of more
than IS per cent of the manufacture
ers offering insecticides and fungi
cides for sale in North Carolina.
Chemists report that within the next
30 davs, samples from all manufac-
turers will have been taken and ana
lyZed.

GARDEN CONTEST
HELD IN FRANKLIN
Program Is Designed To Slim
ulate Interest In Vege-
table Production

LOUISBURG, March 3-Falling
in line with the statewide move
ment for more and better gardens
Franklin county home demonstra
ton club women have worked out a
y~ear-round garden contest designed
to stimulate interest in vegetable
production.
Miss Lille Mae Braxton. the
Franklin home agent, reported that
contest regulations, a score card
and plans of procedure have been
developed by a county committee
composed of Mrs. M. M. Person
chairman, and Mrs. 7. c. Gill and
Mrs. H. f. Mitchell.
Any home garden grown by a
rural family in the county OF by a
bona fide Franklin county club
member living in another county
will be eligible to compete for prizes
in the contest. Applications for en-.
trance must be in the hands of gar
den leaders of the clubs by April /.
A monthly record of the number
of times each vegetable grown in
these gardens is served on the
family table must be entered on
blanks provided by the garden lead
er. The records will be given to the
leader at two-month intervals.
The garden will be scored on ef-
ficiency as indicated by the monthly
records and by written answer to a
QUESTIONABLE at the end of the year.
Efficiency will count IS percent and
the written answers 25 percent.
Miss BraXton said the State home
garden calendar must be used as a
standard planting guide and that
the daily food essential sheet be used
for serving vegetables grown. 1t is
also required that one new leafy
vegetable be added to the garG n and
that one small fruit or berry be
grown.
Prizes will be awarded to the
highest scorers at the end of the
contest, April 1, 1941.

STATE WORKSHOP
NEEDS ATTENTION
Earl Hostet1er Points Out
Good Pastures Are Es-
sential For Animals
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor,
n n State COIIooe

RALEIGH, March 3.-R)-Present
economic conditions demand that
more attention be paid to the North
Carolina horse and mule industry,
Earl H. Hostetler. professor Of ami
NAL husbandry at N. c. State col
lese, said TODAY.
Since the value of workstock is al.
most twice that Of all cattle, sheep
and swine, it is apparent that more
progress can be made with horses
and mules than in any other way,
the state college man pointed out.
According to the latest federal cen.
sus, the value of work animals on
North Carolina farms was placed at
$62, 0G0, 900. For the entire south,
the value approaches a half billion
dollars.
Twenty-Five years ago, the number
of horses and mules in the state was
almost equal, being 10000 and 200,-
coo respectively. Since that time,
the number of horses has decreased
HOO 100 while mules have increased
105, 900 head.
cit seems natural" Hostetler said,
ito suppose that this change has
come about because money crops.
chiefly tobacco and cotton, were Of
sufficient value to allow farmers
to go out of the state and buy their
mules rather than attempt to raise
them at home. Then, too, the gen.
eral preference for mules as work
animals may also have had an in.
fluence."
The field for raising workstock at
home is wide open, the State college
professor declared. OF course, he
said, to raise mules good young
mares are necessary, and since there
is a shortage Of these breeding ami.
mails at the present time, it would
be necessary to purchase them else
where until the industry was on a
firm footing.
Good pastures are essential for all
work animals but are absolutely
necessary for the brood mare and
growing colt, Hostetler said.

Industry long, long ago learned

By the term studied market there

the effective demand and to supply

result in maximum net income"
Tin the light of the common ex-

and agricultural industries, it seems
evident that both are subject 10

'Today much is said about better
organization methods and practices.
Organization among farmers has
been said to be practiced at the
