|BALANCEDFARMINC
PROGRAM ADOPTED
IL Point Plan of Colored
Farmers in Granville Shows
/ Way to Better Living -

RALEIGH, Feb. Am 18-point
balanced farming program recently
adopted for negro farm families of
Granville county shows the way to
better living in 1871, DR.. I. o. Schaub,
director of the N. c. State college ex-
tension service, said today.
Actual purpose Of the program,
which was drawn up by Negro Farm
Agent J. r. Redding and the county
advisory council, is to increase farm
income. However, DR.. Schaub said,
it embodies the main points of an ex.
cellent live-at-home program.
For each oolored farm family of
the county, the program suggests:
A year round garden in 1871.
One to three milk COWS.
A good home supply of meats.
Plenty of canned fruits, vegetables,
and meats.
A homegrown supply of fruits and
vegetables.
A brood SOW to each five families
in the community.
Fifty to 100 chickens.
Plenty of corr and other grain for
livestock.
Plenty of hay for livestock.
One acre of seeded pasture for each
head of livestock. ss
Winter cover crops for soil i'm.
provement.
Potatoes for home and market.
Wheat to produce bread for the
family.
Cane for molasses.
Enough cotton to buy clothes for
the family.
A definite timber management pro-
gram.
A w%ell-planned terracing program
to control soil erosion.
A proper management and use Of
barn manure so as to cut fertilizer
costs.

TREES ALLOTTED
TO SOIL SECTIONS
More Than 2,750,00O Seed.
lings Provided for Erosion
Control in State

RALEIGH, Feb. 2.-More than g.
10000 tree seedlings for erosion con-
troll and reforestation paintings have
been allotted by soil conservation
service nurseries to North Carolina
2 soil conservation districts, it was
announced today by E. B. Garrett,
state Sos cooydinator with headquar-
tiers at N. c. State college. The soil
conservation districts were organized
with the assistance Of farm agents
and soil conservationists of the State
college extension service.
OF the 1871 tree seedlings, $500. 900
are pines and $50, 900 are hardwoods.
In addition, 3,O90,0 900 kudzu plants
and 326,670 shrubs have also been al.
lotted to North Carolina districts,
Garret said. The hardwood trees in
clude black locust, yellow poplar, cat
alpa, and ash.
Since the beginning of the erosion.
control program in North Carolina
in 1884, nearly 20 million trees and
seven million kudzu plants have
been distributed by the soil %conserva-
ton service to district farmers.
"Kudzu," Garrett said, lis rapidly
gaining in favor as a dual purpose
plant. 1t is not only an affective
erosion control plant, but it also fur
hishes high quality hay and pasture.
Prior to its widespread use as a farm
crop, kudzu was used principally to
provide shade for porches. 1t was
sometimes called telephone vine"
In areas not included in the soil
conservation districts the distribution
of tree seedlings is concentrated in
orders placed with the state forest
nurseries BY county farm agents. The
IVA also distributes trees in vest
ern North Carolina to demonstration
farmers.

ports o. H.. Phillips, farm agent OF

However, this is an agreement

fighting soil erosion, one of the
country's worst enemies. The plan
stretches over a period of five

may be used to purchase cotton

He explained further that the acre

whichever is the smaller. Under

And this year. each grower Of
strawberries is hoping for a bum
per crop of fine berries. Last year
thousands upon thousands of dol
lars went into the profit column
for farmers, and because of the
tremendous payrolls being receiv-
ed by working men over America,
in comparison with last years ber-
ry season, it is generally believed
that berries will sell much higher
this year than they did last, per-
haps making this year an all-rime
high. 49,.
The farmers who grow berries
are working hard these days,
bringing pine needles into their

TOBACCO PROBLEM
SOLUTION PLANNED
Tear Gas May Prove Effec-
tive in War on Root Knot
And Black Root Rot

RALEIGH, Feb. 2.-Tear gas may
provide the solution to one of the
vexing problems of tobacco growers
the control Of soil-borne diseases
such as root knot and black root
rot-says L. T. Weeks, extension to-
bacco specialist Of N. C. State coll
lege. The chemical is known scien.
.tifically as "chloropicrin."
Weeks reported that recent work
by tobacco disease men in the fed
eral bureau of plant industry, in
cooperation with several state ex-
pertinent stations, indicates that tear
gas may prove effective for use in
tobacco plant beds. Further tests
may be made, however, before the
federal men can recommend the
treatment.
The state college specialist point.
ed out that calcium cynanamide is
being used successfully to control
weeds in tobacco plant beds, but
it apparently has no effect on soil
borne diseases. A combination Of cy-
anamide and tear gas would solve
two major problems of leaf growers.
Until the gas treatment is perfect
ed, Weeks continues to recommend
that growers use new land for their
seed beds each year. 1--WE recognize
he fact that suitable new land for
plant beds is becoming scarce, but
his is now the only certain way Of
soil borne Diseases" the
extension man declared.
Many Of the diseases which lower
he yield and quality of the tobacco
'rop in the field are carried from
he plant bed. Calcium c~yanamide
S effective against weeds, but not
lgainst diseases. For years research
men have been looking for a chemi.
al sterilizer that would control both
and weeds. The use Of tear
Jas combined with syanamide may
,e the answer, and we are hoping
hat the treatment can be perfected

POULTRY INDUSTRY
EXPANSION URGED
Parrish Says More Emphasis
Placed on Broilers Than
On Laying Hens

RALEIGH, Feb. Am extension
Of the North Carolina poultry indus.
try was urged today by c. F. Par
IRISH, extension poultryman of N. c.
college-but on one condition.
He said Eastern North Carolina
farmers have already swelled their
flocks in view of the tremendous
building boom created by the Army,
but he warned that the expansion
should be safe and sane both in, the
production of eggs and meat. y
At the present time, he explained,
more emphasis is being placed On
broilers than on laying hens,4 al.
though storage stocks of dressed
poultry are the largest on record.Ye
total supplies for the first half Of
this year are expected to be smaller
than in the first half Of 1910.
Present conditions indicate that
the cost Of producing a 2 1-2 pound
broiler this year will range between
80 and So cents. This includes the
cost Of the chick, feed and fuel.
Breaking the expenses down, Par.
IRISH said the chick cost accounts for
% to 81 cents, feed for 60 to 60 per
cent, and fuel from 5 to 6 Per cent.
ut is all right to expand flocks
safely and sanely," the State coli
lege specialist declared, but farm-
ers should beware of plunging into
the business without first giving it q
thorough study"
1T is true there will be thousands
Of persons to feed" he continued,
but a large percentage of these were
already consumers and residents Of
the state. Their addresses have been
changed only temporarily as a result
of the defense program. This applies
both to workers and soldiers now in
Army camps"
Parrish expects an all time high In
the number of chickens raised on
North Carolina farms this year.

case of tenants, sharecroppers, and
oWner-operators, not more than So
worth of the stamps will be issued
% each family.
A $50 limit has been placed on own
ers of more than n farm or Of a
farm operated by more than one ten
ant. Landlords and tenants will share
In the stamps in the same proportion
as the share in the crop.
Under the voluntary plan, Floyd
disclosed, a farmer with a 250-pound
normal yield who had 10 acres of cot.
ton in 1910 and who has a 1O.acre al
lotment in 1941 could earn s25 worth
Of stamps by planting only nine acres
this year.
On the other hand, if the same
farmer had only nine acres in cotton
last Year he would have to reduce
his acreage to eight in 1941 in order
to earn his maximum amount of
stamps.
Complete details of the new pro.
gram will be announced in the near
future, FLOYD said.

And that is SO much for the her,
ry crop. But we might add that
interest is running high toward
corn and both, Irish and sweet po-
tato crops, Already corn is selling
considerably higher than of re-
cent years, at this season; and
with Europe on the brink, and in
some instances, in the throes of
starvation, it is only fair to as
sumo that there is going to be a
generous demand for these farm
products by harvesting season.
Labor shortage, however, is al
ready poking its nose around the
corner, and is staring wide-eyed
the hardy faces of the farm
ers who are sticking to their plan
