DELCO, Sept. 22.-Many of the
farm folk of Columbus, Bladen and
Horny counties that we have visit
ed during the past week ri switch
ing their interest fir o tobacco
grading to that of cotton picking.
Much cotton is in evidence now.
While riding along country roads
we have seen patch after patch in
full-open bolls. The beauty of these
patches was arresting. The stalks
we're low and the bolls YER plen-
tiful. Against dark-green back
grounds of trees or hedgerow
shrubbery the fields seemed tinged
with snow.
Roy Dew, who was riding with
us, said that the majority of the
cotton patches we saw were Of
short staple cotton. And it certain
ly looked like a grand improve
ment over cotton of our earlier
years
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-09-23

the first half of 1871 will be smaller
than in the like period of 1910.
Evidence accumulates that the
number of soWs narrowing this Fall
will be at least IL per cent smaller
than in 1889. The decrease may
be ever more, says BAE depend
ing on the outturn of the corn
crop. In any case, the total pro-
duction of pigs in 1940-spring crop
and fall crop-will be sharply re-
duced from the 1889 production.
Reports indicate also that fewer
lambs will be fed this fall and
winter than last.
The potato market situation is
expected to improve now that the
heavy marketings of the interme-
diate crop have been practically
completed. Late potato crop sup
plies are likely to be larger this
year than last in the eastern
States, but smaller in the western.
The supply in the central States
is expected to be about the same
as in 1889. Indications point to
ample supplies of most of the
commercial truck crops for Fall
markets. Larger crops than a year
earlier of vegetables for process
ing are being harvested; contract
prices are slightly higher than in
1899.
Total production of fruits will be
slightly smaller this year than last,
but supplies available for fresh
market during the 1940-41 season
will be about the same on account
of reduced exports, canning, and
drying. Indications are that a de-
crease Of about II per cent in
production of deciduous fruits will
be offset in part by larger crops
of citrus. Prices of most fresh
fruits have been averaging higher
in late Summer this year than
last-notably prices Of early apples,
peaches, and citrus.
Farmers have been averaging
higher prices. for milk this Sum-
mer than last. Principal reason
has been the better consumer de-
mand for milk and for manufac-
tured dairy products. This situa-
ton is expected to continue during
the remainder of this year. Milk
production during the last half of
1910 may set a new high record
for this time of year. but con-
sumner demand is expected to aver
age higher than in the last half
of 1899, and exports of dairy pro-
ducts r increasing.

WHEAT PRODUCERS.
USING INSURANCE.
Total Of 458 N. C. Farmers
Insure Their Crops Against
Drought, Other Damage

RALEIGH, Sept. .22.-Growers o,
winter wheat IN North Carolina who
produce a surplus for sale are pro,
tecting their 1941 crop with all-risk
Federal Crop Insurance. %. Y
Floyd, AAA executive officer of State
college, revealed today.
To date, 45S growers have insured
their crop and are certain to receive
60,967 bushels of wheat next year
despite any losses that may occur
from drought, flood, hail, insects
plant disease, or other unavoidable
causes.
Floyd explained that for this pro.
lection, the insured North Carolina
winter wheat growers paid as pre-.
miums about 3,O05 bushels into the
group reserve of the Federal Crop
Insurance corporation.
The AAA executive officer said the
steady growth in popularity of cror
insurance in this state is indicated
by the fact that the 1871 winter
wheat sign-up is 227 per cent greater
than the 1910 total. No insurance
was available for North Carolina
growers in 1889, although larger
wheat-growing states were protected
that year.
Yadkin county, with 70 of the in.
surance contracts completed, leads
all counties in the state in number
of insured growers. Farmers of Ran
dolph have the greatest insured acre
age of winter wheat, a total of 929
acres. Iredell county heads the lis,
for insured production with 1912
bushels. The average insured yield
for the state is 14.9 bushels.
Crop insurance proved its value
this year to 20 North Carolina wheat
growers who received 600 bushels
OF wheat, or its cash equivalent, as
compensation for their insured
losses. About half of these losses re-
suited from the severe winter and
the other half from dry weather
at planting time.

COTTON GROWERS
TO VOTE DEC. !
Will Ballot On Marketing
Quota Program; 10000, 900
Bale Quota Planned

RALEIGH, Sept. 22.-E. Y.
Floyd, AAA executive officer, has
announced December 7 as the date
on which cotton growers of North
Carolina and the South will go to
the polls. to vote on the 1941 mar
keting quota program.
Showing no change from that in
effect this year and in 1888 and
1889, the 1941 program would make
possible the marketing of approx
mately $4,000, 900 bales of cotton.
The acreage allotted would be near
that of this year. which was 81
900, 900. However, farmers plant
ed only 25.10O. 900 acres of the ma
tional allotment.
Before the 1941 program can 60
into effect, two-thirds, or more of
the eligible growers voting must
favor the allotment plan. Last year
quotas were approved by 91.2 per-
cent of the producers who voted in
the December referendum. Simil-
arly, the quota programs for the
1888 and 1889 crops yer approved
by large majorities.
Farmers who plant within their
acreage allotments under the pro-
gram will be able to market all of
the cotton grown on their allotted
acreage without penalty. If quotas
r voted, those producers who
market in excess of their quotas
will be required to pay a penalty of
three cents a pound on all cotton
sold in excess of the individual
marketing quotas set up for their
farms.
- Floyd explained that the 1941
marketing quota for the nation was
announced following official deter
mination that on August l the total
supply of cotton was "a, 900, 900
bales or 1877 per cent of the nor
mall supply of 10, 200, 900 bales.
Cotton farmers have need Of
marketing quotas for the 1871 sea-
son more than ever BEFORE" Floyd
said. War conditions have de-
creased rather than increased our
foreign outlets for the staple. How
ever, the domestic conditions is
encouraging"

INCREASE IN EGG >
PRICES EXPECTED
Factors Which Should Be In.
fluential In Producing High
er Demand Sighted

RALEIGH, Sept. 2~2.-Factors
which should be influential in pro-
ducing a higher demand and bet
ter prices have entered the egg
market, Roy S. Dearstyne, head Of
the State college poultry depart
ment, said today.
He explained that current re-
ceipts of eggs at principal mar
kets m running slightly under
those of last year, thus presenting
a more favorable outlook for fall
prices than last year.
Then, too, culling this year has
been unusually heavy, and fewer
young birds we're on the farm July
l of this year than in 1899. This
would indicate a slight reduction
in the number of pullets in laying
flocks this autumn.
A third factor and one expected
to be felt in all farm markets is
Improvement in consumer income
as a result of the national defense
program. This naturally should
stimulate egg consumption.
Despite this anticipated improve.
ment in the poultry situation, Dear
styne said, the %poultryman should
not relax his efforts for efficiency.
Profits are not to be found entirely
in market eggs, but are largely re-
lated to the performance of III e
birds.
This, in turn, is reflected back
to breeding, culling, feeding, and
management of layers, the State
college poultry head explained.
Greater pressure being brought
or Investigation of farm enter
prises in the past few years has
poultry business. This means"
Dearstyne said, that individual
poultrymen must study more care
fully their problems. The industry
will advance relative to the ca
pacity of its members" /

ators for planting on retired lands,
or restocking wooded areas. The
woodland acreage in the ten dis
tricts was increased by 1000 in the
first six months of this year.
Along with other sections of the
farm program, provision is made
for encouraging useful birds and
game animals. For this purpose,
1853, 900 shrubs and several hundred
acres of border strips were pro-
vided.
Finally, Lee said, 2,225,000 kudzu

the sharp poison loded hairs scat
tered over the plant. This is es-
eclally true of the spurge nettle,
commonly found in dry pine woods.
Since many plants are toxic and
irritating to sensitive kins only,
their poisonous qualities are not
well known. Among these are the
yeuo wlady slipper, wild carrot,
the tree-of-heaven, catalpa, a few
spurges, certain smart weeds, yell
low jessamine, fleabanes, and but
tercups. The leaves of these plants
are chiefly responsible, although
the flowers of many are equally
potent to cause a temporary red
denlng of the skin.
In addition to these better known
plants may be added the bladder

son-weed, cow-parsnip, marsh ED
er, and many species of Phacelia.

Farm Products Move To Mar
ket In Value And Rise Seen
In Cash Income
GUY A. CARDWELL
General Agricultural Agent

Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co.
According to Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, agricultural
employment increases this month,
farm products move to market in
volume, cash farm income rises.
Government figures indicate that
nearly 49, 1000, 900 farm family
workers and hired hands will be
busy with Fall crops and live
month and next may total close to
ST. 900, 600, 900. Total farm produc-
ton is a little smaller this year
than last, but the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics says that with
carryovers the supply of food,
feed, and fibers is more than
enough for domestic needs. Large
quantities of farm products r
available for export and domestic
reserves y *Prices of farm
products have been averaging
higher this year than last, total
cash farm income will be larger.
BAE estimate Off 1910 is 8 $780,
900, 900 from marketings and Gov
eminent payments. This is $780,
900, 900 more than in 1889; it is the
second largest in ten years.
The picking and husking of corn,
under way in the Deep South, will
expand soon all over the Corn
and-Hog Belt. In the Plains coun-
try the seeded is being prepared
for winter grains. Government in
dication is that about the same
acreage of wheat will be seeded
for harvest in 1941 as in 1910.
Meanwhile, the United States
wheat supply estimate has been
raised to 1,045, 600, 900 bushels TO
1940-41. Domestic disappearance of
of wheat is expected to total 700,-
900, 900 bushels during this period.
This would make about 345, 900, 900
bushels available for export and
for carry-over on July l next.
BAE says that the outlook for
domestic cotton consumption con-
tinues unusually favorable, with
the 1940-41 season expected to ex-
coed the near-record high of 1885,
900 bales consumed in 1939-40. But
exports prospects continue lex
ceptionally unfavorable." United
States supply of cotton-new crop
plus carryover-is about 1000, 900
bales smaller this year than last.
Total supply is about %, 900, 900
bales. Principal supports to prices
are the continuing high rate of
domestic consumption and the
Government export and loan pro-
gram.
Total supply of feed grains for
1940-41 is indicated at 113, 900, 900
tons, compared with 118, 900. 900
TINS last year. But the number of
that consume feed grains
will be about 4 per cent less than
the number last year. This means
that total supplies of feed grains
per unit of livestock will be about
the same as in 1939-40. Indications
are that fewer cattle will be fed

ABC'S OF GROWING
CRIMSON CLOVER
First Part Of September To
October Is Is Termed Best
Time For Seeding

RALEIGH, Sept. 22.-Here are
the ABC's of growing crimson clo-
YER:
Date of seeding: First. part of
September to October Is if cleaned
seed are used.
Rate of seeding: Is pounds to
the acre of cleaned seed, and 80
pounds if seed in the hull are soWn.
incubation: Either soil from a
field producing clover or a com
mercial culture.
Seeding: Scatter seed and inocu-
lation over the field and cover
seed less than an inch deep. -
Fertilizer: 300 pounds of an 0-G-6
mixture will make a larger clover
crop.
E. C. Blair, extension agronomist
of State college says crimson clo-
yer is one of the best winter le-
gumes for North Carolina farmers
Explaining the ABC's further,
Blair said crimson clover and 9TH
Ell winter legumes must be inocu-
lated with nitrogen-gathering bac.
terra to be effective. In the spring,
inoculated plants are easily recog-
nized by their dark green color and
vigorous growth, while plants with
out the incubation are pale green,
yellow, Or red, and never grow
more than three to four inches
high.
Where fertilizer is applied, a cor
responding decrease in the. fertil-
izer applied to the crop following
crimson clover may be made. This
next crop will make better yields
than if the fertilizer we're applied
direcly. to it. l

Together we used to pick cotton
in fields where the plants grew
higher than our heads and the
stalks held up generous supplies
of leaf-laden branches, with a boil
of cotton here and there.
Some of the first work we ever
did on a farm was picking cotton.
The field was covered with these
large, leaf-laden bushes that we
have mentioned, and it was some
thing of a pain to us to go walking
into those fields to begin our work
of picking while the grasses and
the cotton bushes were covered
with dew.
But the real pain came when
we would strike one of those old
green worms. They were about
the size of a mans little finger and
were real singers.
And the price we received for
picking was half a cent a pound.
