Warning Against Use Of
Anti-AAAS etups Issued

RALEIGH, April 28-E. Y. Floyd
AAA executive officer at State Col
lege, warned today that landlords
or tenants who use practices
which tend to defeat the purpose
of the AAA program will not re-
ceive payments for which they
might otherwise be eligible.
In some cases, Floyd pointed out
both landlords and tenants have
used practices contrary to reg
ulations of the Triple-A program
necessary to obtain payments. In
general, these practices have re-
lated to payments between land
lords and tenants.
According to a recent ruling, a
persons entire payment for the
farm will be withheld or required
to be refunded when already made
if he violates stipulated provisions.
For instance, a landlord causes
his payment to be withheld if he
forces his tenant or sharecropper
to pay him all or part of any 1910

Increase In Variety
Cotton Programs Urged
J. A. Shanklin Declares State
Has Tremendous Room
For Expansion
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor
N. G.. State College

RALEIGH, April 28.-AR-Al-
though the increase in acreage to
one-variety cotton communities
has been almost phenomenal in
the past nine years, North Caro-
lima still has tremendous room for
expansion, j. A. Shanklin, cotton
specialist of the N. C. State col
'lege extension service, said today.
In 1881 Tar Heel farmers devot-
ed 1,40O acres to single variety
communities. By last year the fig
ure had climbed to 48, 600 acres,
due to the growing interest. This
year, Shanklin estimates that ap-
proximately 100, 900 acres will be
standardized. The total cotton
acreage for the state will be ap-
proximately 900, 900.
While the 1910 acreage jump
is due partly to the revival OF In
terest in the states lint crop,
growers have begun to realize the
advantages of growing and mar
keting their cotton under the one-
variety plan.
Shanklin explained that one-va-
riety communities place less de-
pendence on luck and more on
scientific practices. For instance,
good seed of an approved variety
are used, the cotton is cultivated
and fertilized according to recon-
mendations of state and federal
research agencies, and proper
precautions are taken to halt boil
Weevil attacks.
Growers have found that buyers
are on the alert for communities
where a standard cotton is pro-
duced, and that the buyers are
willing to pay premium prices for
the lint.
Thus the plan has eliminated
the old system of foreground"
buying in which purchasers paid
one price for cotton regardless of
its staple length or firmness.
Regional variety tests conduct
ed by the U. S. Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economies IN cooperation
with 10 cotton states emphasize
the Importance of the one-variety
program, Shanklin said.
Sixteen cotton varieties selected
from different portions of the cot
ton belt were planned for a three
year period at IA experiment sta
tons from the same seed stock.
Records we're kept Of the response
of the varieties from the time of
termination until final spinning.
AS a result of this study, it was
found that variety is the most i'm
portant comfortable factor in de-
termining such qualities as staple
length and fineness and to a GER
tain extent the strength of the
fiber.
Thus, Shanklin pointed out, one
variety communities which have
chosen their variety wisely are
taking the shortest cut to i'm
provement and better returns.

FERTILIZER E LAWS

ers of North Carolina received 1884.
$1,000 more plant food last season
than was guaranteed by fertilizer
manufacturers las a result Of strict
enforcement of the states fertilizer
laws" by the State department OF
agriculture.
That is the report of W. Kerr
Scott, commissioner of agriculture,
who today announced that "a study
of the average value of fertilizer sold
last season reveals that manufac-
turers gave farmers an average of
50 cents per ton value in excess of
plant food guaranteed, based on
1899 tonnage"
Consumption of commercial ferti.
lizers by North Carolina farmers
during 1889 showed an increase of
nine per cent as compared with the
consumption for the previous sea-
son.
The 1899 fertilizer consumption to-
tailed 1,215,Ss0 tons compared with
1,104,ssS tons during 1898.
Adequate fertilizer inspection has
been provided growers" Scott said.
Department inspectors have visited
every section of the state and mum.
ereus calls have been made at
points of distribution. An effort
was made to get samples of ferti'
lizer from Every company in pro
portion to tonnage sold.
inspectors made 4,701 inspections
and secured 5,174 samples, agsre'
eating s3.4es tons last season. Dur
ing the year 50 lots Of fertilizer

Cutting off two-thirds of his

struck, Bynum treated this area
with an approved chemical, leav-
ing the remainder of the bed as

Plants in the treated area have
recovered and are now ready to
set, while 70 per cent of those III
the untreated plot were killed by
the disease. Those that survived

Also if the landlord requires his
tenant or sharecropper to pay, in
addition to the customary rental,
a sum of money equal to all or
part of the Government payment
due the tenant or sharecropper.
A person also valves his right
to payment if he intentionally de-
prives or attempts to deprive his
landlord, tenants, or sharecroppers
of payments to which they are en-
titled by classifying the record for
the farm.
Floyd pointed out that payment
will be stopped if a person requires
his tenant or sharecropper to make
an assignment of AAA payments
for a purpose not permitted by
AAA regulations.
Attempts to evade provisions OF
the Federal program have always
been prohibited, but the new rul-
ing outlines specific practices
which will cause payments to be

S0YBEAN FEEDING
OF PIGS SUCCEEDS
Successful Methods Of Pro-
ducing Firm Pork Are An
nOunced By HOstetler

RALEIGH, April % A method
by which pigs may be fed consid-
cradle amounts of soybeans and
still produce firm pork was an
nounced here today by Prof. Earl
H. Hostetler and Dr.. j. o. Halver-
son of the North Carolina Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, The an
nouncement was contained in
Technical Bulletin No. So, entitled
''Feeding Soybeans to Pigs-the
Effect on Gains and a Method of
Producing Firm CarcaSses,"
which the research workers wrote
after conclusive feeding tests.
The method used in producing
firm pork was to put pigs on a
tons of 80 to so percent soybeanS
until they attained a weight Of
100 pounds, when a corn tankage
ration containing Is percent cot
tonseed meal was fed to al aver
age weight of $50 pounds.
The bulletin notes that the chill
ed of the pigs used in
the tests were sent to the B~eltsville
Laboratory of the U. S.. Depart
ment of Agriculture in Maryland,
where all except five out of the
1853 pigs G6.7 per cent? were judg-
ed firm.
Discussing the feeding method
from a standpoint of economical
gains, the scientists said that the
total feed consumed per unit of
gain was higher than usual met
Ihods, and the economy of feed
ing pigs rations containing 80 to
so percent soybe ms until they
reach 100 pounds in weight will de-
pend upon the price of soybeans
compared to that of other feeds"
This experiment followed similar
Investigations through which the
State College Experiment Station
proved that limited amounts of
peanuts may be fed to pigs and
still produce firm carcasses.
