From q secret transmitter in the
Once Of War Information, Repre-
sentative Stefan, Republican, of
Nebraska, kept his pact with the
people Of the Philippines during the
Japanese occupation.
Since the days in 1904 when, as
telegrapher in the Philippine Con-
stabulary, he fought against the in
surrectionist, Gen. Fehzardo, and
pushed lines down the Bataan pc
ninsula that later was to be the
route of Gen. MacArthurs with
drawal to Corregidor, Mr.. Stefan
kept his friendship with Filipinos
from Luzon to Mindanao.
When the troops of Homma and
Yamashita oyerran the islands, he
took to the microphone to send
English-language broadcasts of en-
couragement to the people Of the
islands and interested himself in
the program of psychological war
fare which owl carried on with
guerrillas striking for freedom and
waiting for Gen. Macarthur to
come back.

SEAB0ARD TO GET
new LOCOMOTIVES

NORFOLK, Jan. 2o-w. G.
Jones, general purchasing agent
for the Seaboard Air Line Railway,
said today that purchases of heavy
materials by the railroad assumed
large proportions during 1945. A
few OF the more important items
specified by Mr.. Jones are these q
diesel locomotives for passenssf
service costing about $3.50, 900.
Four of these engines will be de-
livered in the first quarter of this
year. The railroad also bought
four diesel switchers for an outlay
of $4,000. Likewise in the pas.
senger end Of the business. the
Seaboard ordered SO lightweight
luxury passenger cars costing ST.
774, 900 and $50 freight cars. The
latter including box, flats and
gondolas, carry a value Of $2,7l1,.
900.
Fuel to make Seaboard locomo-
tlves go was secured by purchase
Of 100000 tons of coal for the
steam engines and 20,880,000 gall
Ions Of fuel oil for the diesels. In
case you are interested in more
figures, the coal cost about z IL

N. C. State College

January is a good month to read
by the fire and study seed cataS
logues. It is also a good month
to do many jobs on the outside:
Here are a few of the things that l
am planning to do as soon as the
weather permits.
My first job will be to finish
pruning my bunch grapes, the
scuppernong vine has already
been pruned. New fruit trees are
to be planted and the old ones
pruned, Strawberries to be mulch
ed, ground to be prepared for
early vegetables, and the follow
ing vegetables to be planted: gar
den peas, onion seed, asparagus
and kale. I will also SOW cabbage,
broccoli and cauliflower seed in
boxes for transplanting in late
February.
There is, Of course, no time lost
in planting onion seed; but the
seed should be planted in January
or February If the plants are to
get ahead of the grass. and weeds.
The soil should be finely pulver'
lied, approximately one gallon oil
fertilizer applied to 100 feet of row
and the seed sown directly in the
row. When the plants are one tc
two inches high they should be
thinned to stand two to four inches
apart. If these onions are cul
tivated flat, that is, no dirt banked
up around them, they will produce
large ''bulbous" onions with small
necks. These kind Of onions seem
to keep. better than those grown
from sets.
The most satisfactory green on
ions for home use are the old
fashion "potato" onion and the
Egyptian or "top'' onion. Both
of these onions are grown from
sets since seed are not available.
The sets may be planted any time
between now and Spring. These
onions are usually left in the
ground year after year and used
as they are needed.

STATE FARMERSPLAN
$4,000 POTATO CROP
FOR CURRENT YEAR

RALEIGH, Jan. 2O-The State
Department of Agriculture says
that North Carolina commercial
early Irish potato producers have
indicated that they intend to plant
$4,000 acres in 1916 or 8 per cent
more than was harvested in 1915.
This report is based on an "inten-
tons to plant survey conducted
by the Federal-State Crop Report
ing Service.
Last year, North Carolina pro-
duced commercial early potatoes
on $4,000 ares which brought an
income to farmers of 81, TBS, 900.
This was almost twice as great as
in 1914. Last year the yield per
acre was ITS average compared to
only SO bushels in 1914. The price
received was also much better in
1915, being $1.70, compared to
S135 per bushel in 1914.
For other states which normally
sell their potatoes about the same
as North Carolina, the 1916 intend
ed acreage is indicated to be up
about two per cent over last year S
acreage.

Lovvorn: Coastal Plain. February
Is to March Is; Piedmont. March
to 81; and Mountains, March Is
to April IS.
Inc seeding mixture that the in
dlvldual farmer uses depends upon
the fertility level of his soil and
upon the section sof the state in
which he farms.
However, basing the recommen-
dations upon experiments conduct
ed throughout the state and uoon
reports from farmers, DIR. Lovvorn
presents the following list of satis-
factory mixtures.
In the Coastal Plain, on the aver
age sandy soil, 10 to 20 pounds
Dallis grass and IS pounds Kobe
lespedeza. On the fertile, moist
soils, 10 pounds Dallis grass, five
pounds orchard grass, 10 pounds
Kobe lespedeza, and one to two
pounds white clover.
On the sandy soils, Bermuda
grass rootstocks may be substitute
ed for the DALI grass.
For the good to medium soils
in the Piedmont and Mountain Sec
tons, the mixture is 10 pounds
orchard grass, five pounds Dallis
grass, Is pounds lespedeza, and
one pound white clover.
On poor to medium soils in the
Piedmont and Mountains, six
pounds orchard grass, six pounds
redtop, four pounds Dallis grass
and Is pounds lespedeza.
Lespedeza or lespedeza and
sweet clover should be used on the
poor soils in the Piedmont and
Mountains. Then after the fertility
has been increased through the
use of legumes, the grasses can be
added.
In these mixtures, Dallis grass
is recommended for the Piedmont
only, as winter killing will take
place in the Mountains.
In some counties the agricultural
agencies are cooperating in naming
uniform seeding mixture for the
entire county. This seems like an
excellent idea, DR.. Lovvorn says,
and he urges other counties to
work out the same type Of pasture
program.
For the farmer who wants to
establish new pasture or improve
an old one, the AAA will make
conservation payments toward the
purchase of the seed. DR.. Lovvorn
suggests that the farmer who needs
to seed some pastures this spring
see his county agent or local AAA
committeeman,

Carolina Farm Comment
By F. H. JETER

tons IN Pitt County last season
show that hybrid corn will pro-
duce about seven bushels of grain
more an acre than the old named
varieties. The results also show
that for every dollar invested in
fertilizer up to $40 an acre, the re-
turns will be bushels of corn per
dollar. This means that all the
extra corn produced through the
use Of fertilizer will cost only Is
cents a bushel. This also means
that one way to produce corn cheap
ly is to fertilize it heavily, and that
while this fertilizer will increase
the cost Of producing the corn, it
will also bring about a profit above
the expense.
Because Of the interesting facts
brought out in this corn produc-
ton work this past season, Floyd
Hendrix, farm agent, says his Of
flee in cooperation with the voca-
tional teachers, plans to conduct
300 individual corn-growing DEM
onstrations this season.
In Catawba County. those who
grew cotton say that where they
produced only a bale to the acre,
they had only a fair crop. Right
now they have set their sights for
1 ~ bales per acre average for
1916 P. A. Hoover picked 2,201
pounds of lint from one field of
three acres and said there were
two bales of cotton remaining to
be picked from the plot. Mr.. Hoover
plans to get 1000 pounds of lint
average this season or two bales an
acre for his entire cotton crop.
Ralph Sigmon of Mountain Creek,
in Catawba are comparable with
bale and a half per acre and his
father, Enoch Sigmon, has harvest
ed 300 pounds of lint an acre from
his cotton crop. Other crop yields
inCatawba are comparable with
these. Bill Cauble reports 81 bush
els of hybrid corn an acre on three
acres, and Carroll Rhoney of Ban
oak grew 100 bushels on three acres
or go bushels an acre. Wheat yields
last spring ran between 20 and 30
bushels an acre although It was not
good wheat season in that section.
Some few growers made as high
as 40 bushels an acre. Earle Brint-
nall says that back In 1920, the
average wheat yield Of Catawba
County was 7.9 bushels an acre. He
credits the tons of limestone and
phosphate used and the growth
Of legume crops for the almost
phenomenal increases that have
been built up gradually over the
past IS years. Credit also is given
to the use of better seeds.
These are only a few examples.
Farmers in many other counties

In spite of all difficulties, somehow
