TURKEY CROP
TO Be VERY GOOD

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Jan. 2.-County agents of the

are predicting an increase in tur-
keys for 1914 because growers
have just completed compare
lively good season and are plan
ming to grow extra turkeys next
|year.
CAL turkeys are sold. There
should be an increase next year
because turkey producers have
come out fairly well in spite OF
low ceiling prices and high pric-
ed feed. Agent H. M. Singletary
Of Chatham County reported to
Extension officials here.
County Agent j. W. Cameron OF
Arson County reported the arrival
of a truck load of Broad 3rest
turkey toms from the Experiment

had begun using toms from the
Experiment Station.
''We have shipped one truck load
Of plucked turkeys and many loads
Of live turkeys. Our growers have

General Manager w. H. Robertson

MANY AAA FARM
BLANKS RECEIVED

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Jan. Approximately $1,000 Of the
206,OO0 applications expected to
be filed by individual farm oper-
ators for payment under the 1913
Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram of the AAA already have
been received for payment as ra-
. pidIy as possible, G. T. Scott,
chairman of the State AAA Com
nnittee, said today.
1t is estimated that North Car
DINA farmers earned approximate
" $5,784,000 under provisions OF
the 1943 AAA program which clos
ed December 81. Payments are
made for carrying out approved
production practices designed to
Increase production and maintain
fertility of the soil, for compll-
ance with marketing quota provl-
sions voted by producers, and Tor
meeting or exceeding goals set
for designated vegetable crops Tor
fresh market and for Irish pota-
toes.
BY far the largest portion OF
these payments went to defray
costs of carrying out production
practices on North Carolina farms
he said. "The tremendous increas-
es we have made in production OF
vitality needed war crops within
the past two or three years have
been due in large measure to the
conservation and soil-bulldlng
practices farmers have carried out
over the past ten years. The prac-
tees carried out under the 1913
program, for which these payments
are being made, will be reflected
in our production in 1914 and 1945 &.
Some applications have been re-
ceived from practically every
county in the State and some TAR
naers in 60 counties already have
received their checks. Mr.. Scott
said all farmers who have not ex-
ecuted their application should do
50 as quickly as possible. ALI
application should be filled at
the AAA office in the county In
which the farm is located.

AIR
FIELD OPERATING

WITH UNITED STATES FOR.
cEs ON BOUGA1NV1LLE, Jan. 2.
A $500 foot field for light and
medium bonbers, within less than
$50 miles of Rabaul and only $50
miles from Lapan's mighty naval
base of Truk, is in operation to-
day in these northern Solomons.
The airfield, at the base OF the
tuning volcano, Mount Bagana,
was carved out of the heaviest OF
jungles and was dedicated Christ
mas day.
Called Piva field after the river
village of that name, it is the Sec
ond field to be established on the
expanding United States beach
head which U. S. Marines first
won Nov. l with a landing at EN-
press Augusta Bay on Bougain-
ville's west central coast. The Tor
okina fighter field of 4,200 feet,
superimposed upon swamp, has
been used since Dec. IL.
Torokina has been dispatching
fighter planes for the first time
in sweeps over Rabaul. Now they
can screen bombers flying from
Riva, a mere aerial skip and jump
from Rabaul. The Piva field is
the nearest one of the Allies tc
Truk in the Carolines.
The building of Piva was &C.
complished with heroics and utter
disregard of danger. Once tractors
were levelling ground within a few
feet of where a bomb disposal
crew, under Marine 1t. Ed Curry,
of Boston, Mass, was supervising
the digging up of a string of JAP
anese duds or time bombs.
Again a Japanese patrol haras-
sing the Seabees got so close to
the field that a Seabee was cap
tured.
When Seabee surveyors started
laying out the field, they actually
worked for several days beyond
our lines.
AS they returned from work they
would chide the Marines:
eff you guys don't hurry up and
take that country, we'll have the
field finished before you gel

bombers and torpedo planes with.
in reach of Rabaul. This is oil
special significance since that Jap.
anese navy base never has beer
hit by land-based planes of this
type, so deadly against nava
craft.
The Piva field was ready fol-

ter the Seabees broke ground. Tht

Of Their Expenses

ing his income tax report recent
ly one farmer here said that the
records which he had kept on his
operations in cooperation with the

Extension Service had been worth
at least $75 extra to him, reports
County Agent Maury Castor.
This man said that if he had
trusted his memory he would have
forgotten many of the small sup
plies which he had bought and
which should have been included
in charges against the various
crops. According to Castor, there
are SO Ireden County farmers

ton with the Extension Service.

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
J BY John Fl. Harris
N. C. State College

Many people have asked me
what the victory gardens are worth
in money. There is, of course, a
wide variation in value depending
on the efficiency Of the gardener
and many other factors. Accord
irg to the census the average farm
garden in 1910 was worth $4,000.
Considering the increased produc-
ton from the average garden, I
believe it is safe to estimate that
in 1943 the average farm garden
was worth $4,000. I do not have
the cost of an average garden, but
do have the figures on the cost
ct two small gardens in 1943. One
Of these gardens produced $85.
worth # vegetables at a cost of
$e67, while the other one produced
$4,000 worth of vegetables at a
cost of $685.. This latter garden
was approximately 100 acre in
size; the size of the other garden
is not known. The cost of these
gardens in neither case took into
consideration the value of the own.
ers time. These figures did, how.
ever, include the cost of outside
labor such as breaking the land
North Carolina had a total of 544,-
948 victory gardens during 1913
and if we figure each garden worth
$125, this gives US a total of $685..
lib, $50 worth of vegetables pro-
duced in home gardens. I have
done considerable estimating in
this article and perhaps you do
rot agree with some of these fig
ures. If you do not, and if you are
skeptical about a garden for 1914,
let me suggest that you talk to a
successful 1943 gardener and I am
sure that you, too, will join our
ranks in 1914.
