PEANUT MILLERS
INCREASE PRICES
Buyers Ore Combing Coun-
try In Search Of Good
Grade Peanuts

RALEIGH, April 21.-Many she'll
ers and cleaners of Virginia type
peanuts, showing more interest IN
Purchasing farmers stock peanuts,
have increased their offered prices,
5. Troy Ferguson, district agent OF
the State College Extension serV-
ice, said today.
In fact, Ferguson quoted a U. S.
bureau of agricultural economics
report as saying that some millers
now have buyers combing the coun-
try in search of good grade pea
nuts.
For best farmers stock Jumbo,
millers are paying 4 to 4 Is cents
a pound and for best Bunch 3 "a
cents a pound. While these were
the top prices of last week, the
market undercurrent now appears
to have become stronger.
The stronger attitude of the mill
ers was probably induced by the
higher prices at which shelled and
cleaned peanuts are being sold,
not only in North Carolina and
Virginia but also in the southeast.
he monthly stocks report of
the U. S. department of agricul'
ture issued on April Is shows that
stocks of Virginia type peanuts on
March 81 were about II per cent
above supplies a year earlier. How
ever, runner stocks are 43 per cent
below last years figure, and Span
ish stocks are slightly less than
at the same time in 1913.
Ferguson said one rather discon
certing tabulation in this report
showed that the indicated disap
~pearance of edible shelled goods
during March was IA per cent less
than in the same month a veal
ago. This decrease, however, was
in runner and Spanish, as the
disappearance of shelled Virginias
during March of this year exceed
ed that of March, 1899, by more
than one million pounds.

MILK CONSUMPTION
DRIVE UNDER WAY
Is New Service Feature OF
North Carolina Depart
ment OF Agriculture
BY LOUIS ii. WILSON
Editor, =. c. Dept. of Agriculture

Eultof, +. I. Dept. OF Agriculture
RALEIGH, April q. GP A
campaign to promote the consump-
ton and marketing of milk, a new
service feature of the North Caro-
lima department of agriculture, is
now underway in the state.
Miss Isabelle Moseley, dairy mar.
keting specialist of the departments
markets division, was today assign.
ed by Commissioner of Agriculture
w. Kerr Scott to conduct IAN edu.
c%ational and marketing campaign
in cooperation with dairymen and
schools with the primary purpose
to stimulate the purchase of milk
and other dairy products.
Meanwhile, outstanding results
have already been reported from
schools which have cooperatcd in
the milk-consumption program. Use
of milk has been increased as much
as 80 per cent in some schools.
This program of projecting the
consumption of milk ana dairy
products will serve two Fundamental
purposes" Miss Moseley said. First,
it will be designed to encourage
greater use of milk in view that the
per capita consumption of milk is
less than a half of the national av-
era9e and less than a third of the
requirements determined by nutri-
tionists. Second, formation of To-
cal dairy councils will be encour-
aged to give dairymen an organiza'
ton through which they can seek
solution Of marketing and distribu-
ton problems"
Dairy councils are already serv'
ing producers and distributors in
the following cities and towns: Bur
lington, Durham, Raleigh, Green's
boro, and High Point. A unit to
serve Winston.Salem, Mount Airy,
and Lexington is now in the process
of organization.
Miss Moseley said that through
these councils, the markets division
of the department proposes to en-
courage dairymen and others to use
available educational facilities in
bringing milk consumption stand
ards to a level commensurate with
the health standards of the nation.

Of the latter Nineteenth Century, the

all, the ravaging redskin whom no
truce could satisfy was on the war
path.
This dramatic figure and his hectic
times form the basis for Paramcunt's

INCREASE in LINT
YIELDS IS URGED
Imperative If Growers Are To
Receive Fair Return
For Their Labor
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor,
N. G. State College

RALEIGH, April 21.-LP-Pres-
ent prices of lint cotton make good
imperative if growers are to
receive a fair return for their
labor, P. H. Kline, associate agron-
of the N. c. Agricultural Elk
pertinent station, said today.
A few cents expended here and
there and an extra precaution or
two may mean increases of SO to
100 pounds of lint to the acre. Neg
ligence yearly takes a heavy toll
from lint producers.
Especially in eastern North Caro-
lima have the past two years been
dls~couraging to cotton growers,
Kline stated. Weather conditions
were unfavorable and injury from
boil weevil was serious.
Other counties Jared less bad
ly. In Cleveland county, $1,000
acres produced slightly more than
q bale to the acres, but growers
there cultivated carefully and took
adequate measures against the boil
Weevil. The state average for 1889
a little more than half-bale
to the acre.
This week farmers will continue
to make heavy paintings, after
seeding thousands of acres last
week. Present indications are that
81 to 80 per cent of the states L.
900, 000-acre AAA allotment will be
planted this year. Last year and
the year before, paintings fell we'll
under the AAA allotment.
Following planting, the next step
in the cotton farmers program
is thinning out the plants. Kline
pointed out that the yields are
often reduced by not leaving enough
plants when chopping.
Cotton left thick in the row will
pat on more bolls early in the
season and will produce better
yields under boil weevil conditions,

tai plain areas, spacing the hills
10 to II inches apart in the row
and leaving two to three plants
in the hill whenever possible is
the recommendation of State col
agronomists.
This will mean an average OF
about one and a half plants pei
foot of row or $4,000 tc 20, 600
plants to the acre. On the lighter
soils of the coastal plain area and
the Piedmont, slightly close.
spacing is advisable.
Chopping should be done when
the weather is warn and the plants
healthy. When the second set of
leaves is about three-fourths grown
is considered the ideal time. If
chopped much earlier, some of the
remaining plants are likely to die,
resulting in a poor stand. If chop.
ping is delayed too long, the plants
will become tall and slender and
will tend to fall badly when
chopped.

Berry Picking Expected
To Start Late In April

RALEIGH, April 21-North Caro-
lima strawberry growers Will prob
ably begin picking their berries the
last week of this month, Robert
Schmidt, horticulturist of the EX-
pertinent Station at State college,
said today.
Indictment weather delayed the
crop, which is now n to two
weeks late. Ordinarily, growers be-
gin picking their berries around the
middle of April.
The recent freeze may have done
severe damage to unprotected fields,
the State college horticulturist
pointed out. Prior to that time, this
years crop was looking good, and
growers were expecting splendid
yields.

ed out that U. S. Nc. 1 grade con-
