Black Walnuts Offer
Good Income Source

WINDSOR, Dec. 1. - Black
walnuts may provide the answer
to the question of how to spend
long winter evenings profitably,
says B.. E. Grant, farm agent of
the State college extension serv-
ice.
With the exception of what has
been used on the farm. most OF
the walnut crop in BERTHE county
has been going to waste. This
year the yield has been unusual
ly heavy.
Agent Grant says he is urging
parents to assist their children in
turning walnut kernels into a
steady source of income.

"In thinning it must be remem

very materially influences The health
and vigor of the forest trees. The
soil should be kept fresh, soft, loose

may be done by keeping the ground
shaded. 1t is desirable, therefore, to
retain any of the intermediate or
suppressed trees which I necessary

"In selecting wood for fuel the

u. S. Imports Increase
During Wars First Year

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-LR-An
expansion of raw material purchases
caused United States imports to in
crease $493, 600, 900 during the first
year Of the European war, the tariff
commission reported today.
Total imports for the year ended
last August were valued at $685.
900, the commission said in an analy-
sis Of the effect of the war on i'm.
ports.
The raw materials accounting for
the import increase, the report said,
originated primarily in Asia and to a
lesser extent in Canada, Latin Ameri-
ca, Africa and Oceania Islands in

COTTON FARMERS
URGED TO BALLOT
Call For All Eligible Pro
ducers To Vote On December
Z Issued By Floyd

RALEIGH, Dec. IA call for all
eligible North Carolina cotton grow
ers to vote in the marketing quota
referendum Saturday, December Z
was made today by E. Y. Floyd, AAA
executive officer of N. C. State col.
lege.
Reviewing the referendum back
ground, Floyd pointed out that there
are two important facts for growers
to consider. First, that a marketing
quota is provided by the agricultural
act of 1888 when cotton supplies are
Z per cent or more above normal,
and second, that a two-thirds ma
jority of the growers voting in the
| Cotton Belt is required to put quo
tas into effect.
The AAA executive officer explain
ed that today's cotton supplies are 81
per cent above normal. The world
supply of American cotton is estimat'
ed at 25, 000, 900 bales, as compared
with a normal supply of about 49,
900, 900 bales. Normal supply is made
up of normal exports and domestic
consumption plus an adequate al
lowance for carry-over.
"The immediate future does not in
dictate an increased world consump.
ton of American cotton" Floyd said,
"Past history shows that war condi-
lions not only cut down the nations
cotton exports but also reduce world
consumption. Warning countries cut
to the bone their expenditures for all
materials other than those absolute
ly necessary in carrying on the con-
flict."
The State college man pointed out
that any person who shared in the
income from the 1916 cotton crop
will be eligible to cast a ballot in the
referendum. The voting will be con-
Quoted along the same lines as a
general election, and polling places
will be set up in each cotton COM
munity.

brush or other debris along Travelled

"Pasturing of woodlands has been

patches as broken or scrubby ma

or goats eat young seedlings, par

break them off. Hogs eat the seed
and thus prevent reproduction from

DEFENSE PROGRAM

Economists Expect Upward
Trend In Prices For Farm
Products To Continue

RALEIGH, Dec. 1.-The national
defense program which has set the
wheels of industry turning at a ra.
pidly accelerated rate is responsible
in the main for better business and
demand conditions in this country,
Julian Mann, economist in extension
studies at N. C. State college, said to-
day.
Quoting late reports from the u.
S. bureau of agriculture economies,
Mann said that while demand condi-
lions have improved here in the Unit.
ed States, exports have shown furth.
err declines as the European war
RACES on.
Economists expect the general up
ward trend in prices for farm stuffs
TO keep up, but they do not see any
Signs Of a marked rise in the price
of farm products such as was ex-
perienced in the first World war.
During November, Mann continu-
ed, farmers received about the same
prices they did in October, such as
higher prices for butter and eggs
and lower prices for corn and hogs.
However, the demand for farm pro-
ducts in this country is better as
business picks up and workers have
more money to spend for food and
other farm products.
Present conditions would indicate
that further improvement for sever.
al months after the first Of January
is much less likely. The econo-
mists explain this by pointing out
that the output in some important
industries is now too close to capaci-
ty to allow for the full seasonal gains
usual in these months.
Generally speaking, experts believe
that exports will show further de-
clines because Of the dwindling OF
cash reserves of European countries
and the tightening blockade thrown
around the continent.

FARMERS PLANNING
FOR TOBACCO CROP
Effective Checks On The Blue
Mold Developed By Plant
Psychologists
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor
Ck~A- Tnvynnn

N, e. state COllcSe
RALEIGH. Dec. 1.-RNWith the
States tobacco marketing season
drawing to a close, North Carolina
farmers are beginning to prepare
for next years crop, Lloyd L.
Weeks, tobacco specialist OF the
N. C. State college extension SER
vice, said today.
First step in the growers pro-
gram is the selection and pre-
paration of the seed bed. In the
canvas-covered bed, the young
plants remain until ready for trans.
planting in the field.
During recent years, heavy at
tacks of blue mold have seriously
damaged the plants while in the
beds. However, plant pathologists
have developed through an inten-
sive program of research effective
checks on the disease.
Foremost among these is para
dichlorobenzene, a crystalline COM
pound which, when properly APP
piled, curbs the mold and enables
the plants to be restored to their
former vigor. Red copper oxide
has also been found effective as
a spray in holding mold in check.
Unfortunately. Weeks said. the
common flue-cured varieties are
not resistant to any of the major
plant diseases that plague North
carolina growers. However, con-
siderable experimental work is now
being carried on in an effort to
develop varieties that will be re-
sistant to such diseases as Gran
vile wilt, black root rot, and black
shank.
when and if such varieties are
developed and tested thoroughly"
the State college specialist said,
growers will be advised to use
these varieties for planting on di-
seased lands"
At the beginning of the tobacco
year, a new site should be Sc
lected for the plant bed, or a
four-year rotation of beds should
be used. Weeks said that abundant
evidence from experimental work
and observation exists showing that
damage from blue mold can be
reduced substantially by the Sc
lection of new sites annually or
by the rotation of beds.
This is based on the fact that
blue mold usually appears from
one to four weeks later on plant
beds on new sites than on old
site beds. The evidence indicates
that parasites spread from beds
on old sites to those on new sites.
If volunteer tobacco is not al
lowed to develop in old beds sites,
a four-year rotation of the beds
should be equally as good as the
selection of new sites in the con-
troll of blue mold, or downy mil
dew as it is sometimes called.
The beds should be located in
a warm sunny place. Southern or
southwestern exposures are better
than western or northern expo
sures. Also the beds should be
located in a well-drained place pre-
ferably on a loamy type soil. If
possible, a water supply should
be nearby.
If an old site must be used,
Weeks said, it should be burned
over or sterilized by steam
