Raleigh, April 20.-Fced markets
were mostly unsettled during the

grain prices d Strengthening factor
which more than offset seasonal
slackening in demand, the U. S. and
North Carolina departments Of agrl-
culture revealed in the weekly mar
ket news service review.
Wheatfeed averaged about Is cents
per ton higher while oilseed cakes
and meals were mostly firmer except
linseed meal which averaged slight
ly lower. Corn feeds were Iirm in
llucnced principally by higher grain
prices and good inquiry Tor I'M
mediate shipment. The index OF

slightly to 1913 compared with l24.O
FOR the previous week and 1l3.l for
the corresponding week last year.

compared with last week. AT the pc
RODS close radishes brought from

tuce realized around 200 and bushel
containers Of U. S. No. l sweet po-
tatoes sold in the 1.35 to LOO range.
Shelters and cleaners of farmers
stock Virginia type peanuts showed
more interest in purchasing farmers
stock, especially the better grades,
this week and several have increased
their offered prices. For best farm
er'S stock jumbOS millerS are now
paying to 1-8 cents per pound and
for best bunch 3 3-4 cents per pound

ed and cleaned peanuts are bringing
higher prices than they did last week

Cooperate In AAA Program

ccrdancc with the farm work plans
and to quality for payments under

only about IS percent Of the farm
ers in the county completed work
sheets and only ~ percent cooperat-
ed in the AAA program.
Heavy penalties for orcrplantlns
of acreage allotmcntS, particularly
on tobacco. and prospects for lower
tobacco prices have caused farmers
to turn to soil conserving crops ana

Careful ChOpping Increases Cotton
Yields

Too many cotton growers make
the mistake each year Of not leaving
enough plants when chopping their
cotton. This practice often results
in reduced yields. Cotton left thick
in the row will put on more bolis
early in the season and will be better
able to produce higher yields under
boil Wecvil conditions, an important
factor in lint production. -,
On the soils Of Vance county, hills
should be spaced 10 to II inches
apart in the row, leaving two or
three plants in the hill when pos.
sible. This will mean an average OF
approximately one and one-hali
plants per foot or $4,000 to 10000
plants to the acre.
Cotton should be chopped when
the weather is warm and the plants
healthy. A good Indicator OF the
best time is when the second set OF
leaves is about three-quarters grown.
If the cotton is chopped much earlier
some of inc remaining plants are
likely to die, leaving a poor STAND
If the chopping is delayed too long,
the plants will become tall ana
slender and will tend to fall down
badly when chopped.
Because of the revived interest IN
the production of better yields ana
higher grade lint this year, growers
should exert every effort 10 loiloW
recommended practices that Will alo
in reaching this goal.
How can one keep Objectionable,
odors and flavors out Of milk! Az
this time of the year, wild onions
are the chief source Of these 1laVorS
and to get rid of this trouble II WILL VII
be necessary to take the COWS OH
pasture and give them dry tced lor
at least six hours before milking
Where the Flavor persists, the alll-
mails should be taken off pasture d.

Another source of Objectionable 1laV,

eliminate this trouble it IS only
necessary to delay feeding sucii
feeds until after milking.
What is the best method of apply
ny fertilizer to vegetable crops
Recent experiments with fertlllzeI
placement for row crops snow thal
placing the fertilizer in narrow
bands on each side Of the SEED IS
the most desirable. This prevents
too great a concentration of tertl-
lizer salts near the roots of the plants

Practically the same results are OBJ
tanned if the application is made IN
the row week to ten days before
llanting. The fertilizer should be
thoroughly mixed with the SOIL
Where the rows are spaced CLOSE

Troops Quit
 Tent Houses

Soldiers attached to the garrison at the Anchorage air base which, by the way, is to be officially known hereafter as Fort Richardson, who have been living in tents since their arrival from the States during the summer, are now comfortable set tied in their new barracks, says the Anchorage Alaskan. They now oc- cupy more than 30 of the new frame structures The remainder of the temporary" quarters will be hurried to completion as rapidly as possible, for the accommodation of the addi- tional troops scheduled to be sta- tioned at Elmendorf Field.
 In prospect for the field are a theatre building and recreation cen- ter for the troops, power plant for which considerable equipment all ready has been purchased, and up- wards of 800 permanent buildings, including the quarters for officers and on-commissioned officers. The power plant will have capacity of 10000 horsepower and will cost in excess of $l,500,000. It will be about six times the size of the plant now in use at the field.
 Arrangements for much of this new work were made by Lieut.. Col. E. M. George Constructing Quarter master, in charge of construction at both Elmendorf Field and Ladd Field at Fairbanks. He has just re- turned to his Alaska headquarters from stay of several weeks in the States and it was during his absence from Alaska that he received his promotion from major to his new rank.
