New Tobacco Publication
Ready For Distribution

Suggestions are made as to the Sc
lection, preparation, and fertilization
of seed beds; selection and prepara-
ton Of the field; fertilizers; trans
planting and cultivating; control of
insects, topping, and suckering; Sc
lection of seed plants; harvesting;
curing. and grading and marketing.
In a preface to the detailed recon-
mendations, the extension specialists
point out that the increasing use of
cigarettes in the last 20 years has
made necessary the production of a
broader leaf tobacco Of thinner tex
ture than was formerly grown. The
wide-leaf varieties will produce a
greater number of pounds Of bright
tobacco than will the narrow varie-
ties.
Among the broad-leaf varieties
are: White Stem Orinoco, Virginia
Bright Leaf, Jamaica Wrapper, Gold
Dollar, Bonanza, and Bells Improved
Gold Dollar.

Increased Cost Of Commodi-
ties And Services May
Cancel Some OF Gains
GUY A. CARDWELL
General Agricultural Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co.

Nineteen forty-one outlook is for
improved domestic demand for farm
products, smaller exports, higher
general average of prices, larger to-
tai cash income from marketings.
Farm income-including government
| payments-the total exceeding 9 bill
| lion dollars-may be the largest since
1929. But increased costs of com.
modities and services used in farm
production will cancel part of the
gain in farm income-1941 over 1910.
Agricultural production Of all COM
lmodities combined may be a little
smaller in 1941, but with large car
ry-over stocks of several commodi.
ties the total supply will be fully
adequate for the country's needs.
Farmers in best position as to prices
and income are those producing for
domestic market-producers of dairy
and poultry products, meats, some
fruits, and vegetables. Principal sup
port to prices and income from cot
ton, wheat, tobacco will be govern
ment loan and export programs. For
national defense the physical condi-
ton Of the agricultural plant is the
best in many years. Soil productive
ty has been increased, man-power is
more than enough for any emergen-
cy. Agriculture is ready.
Greater consumer purchasing pow
er in the United States in 1941 com.
pared with 1910 is expected to result
in improved demand for farm pro-
ducts. Consumer incomes will re-
| fleet not only a substantial gain in
industrial production, but also the
gradual cumulative effects of the
general improv ovement in business
conditions during the past years.
The rapidly expanding program
for national defense is chiefly to be
credited with the anticipated increase
in Industrial production, employment
and consumer incomes. More than
billion dollars probably will be spent
for national defense purposes in 1911.
Of this about billion represents an
increase over 1910. Partly offsetting
the effects on business activity of
these increased defense expenditures
will be decreases in some other
branches of government spending
and increased tax collections. 1t is
estimated that about half of the in
crease in defense spending in 1911
will represent an increase in the net
contribution of the federal povern
ment to national purchasing power.
The development of the defense
program is having stimulative eff
feet upon general business senti-
ment Business men generally are
anticipating several years of favor
able business conditions and possibly
Of rising prices. This makes them
less apprehensive about inventory
positions, more inclined to take risks
in developing new or expanding old
enterprises. A part Of the stimulat-
ing effects of the defense program,
however, will be merely an offset %
unfavorable developments which 9TH
erwise would have occurred in come
lines of production and to this extent
will not mean net increase in in
dustrial activity over that in 1910.
Export demand for United States
farm products is likely to be worse
in 1941 than it was in 1910.

EFFICIENT CHICK
PRODUCTION URGED
Poultrymen Are Asked To
Search Out Weakest Points
In Their Enterprise
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor
N C. State Cnllege

RALEIGH, Jan. 12.-R-Even
the smallest farm poultry flock
owner should resolve to increase
his efficiency in 1941, T. T. Brown
extension poultryman of N. c. State
college, said today.
This is good time of the year
for the poultryman to search out
the weakest points of his enter
prise and strengthen them immedi-
ately, whether they be in breeding,
feeding, housing, sanitation, or
marketing, the State college man
said.
First of all, the North Carolina
poultryman should resolve to pay
more attention to the quality OF
chicks he buys than to the price.
Good chicks are more economical
in the long run than bargain"
chicks whether for broilers or lay
ers.
'It costs no more to brood good
chicks than it does poor quality
Ones" Brown pointed out, las the
feed, fuel, and labor cost involved
are the same in both cases. When
poor quality chicks are purchased
for broilers and the mortality runs
high in the brood, or they grow
and feather slowly and are less
uniform in size, color, and feather
ing at marketing time, they are
really more expensive than are
good chicks. I"
The same holds true with chicks
purchased for layers, Brown con-
tinued. If good chicks from heavy
producing stock cost five cents
more each than do poor ones, it
will require only about two extra
eggs per bird next fall to pay the
difference. Oftentimes, pullets
raised from chicks of better breed
ing will lay from 10 to so eggs
more than those raised from chicks,
of poor breeding.
Brown advised that poultrymen
make their purchases from nearby
hatcheries or breeders that are
known to be dependable rather
than risk chicks from questionable
sources.
Should the poultryman need as.
sistance in choosing a hatchery or
breeder from which to obtain
chicks, he should consult his coun-
ty or home agent, the State college
man said. The order should be
placed early enough so that the
grower will get the quality he de.
slres at the time he wants the
chicks. s
