0NSL0W FARMERS
ADVISE VETERANS
Action In Setting Up Com.
mittee Wins Approval OF
Extension Leaders

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
April 7. - The voluntary action OF
Onslow County farmers in naming
a committee to advise veterans
about farming in that area of the
state was endorsed by leaders OF
the State College Extension Service
the Unemployment Compensation
Commission, and the state Farm
Labor Advisory Committee here
today.
Fred Sloan, spokesman for the
labor committee and Extension
program leader, declared: This
voluntary step by Onslow farmers
points the way to the rest of us who
are trying to improve farm labor
conditions and at the same time
reduce unemployment among vet
erans." Payments are now being
made to $1,000 unemployed vet
Grams of World War II in the
state today. The state Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission
has estimated that 1892 per cent OF
these veterans came originally
from farms.
Personnel
Onslow County Agent Charlie c.
Clark, Jr, announced the appoint
ment of the following farmers, rep
resenting each section of the coun-
ty, to advise and assist veterans
desiring farm information: H. c.
Riggs, Swansboro Township; Ora
ham Jones, White Oak Township;
N. A. Burton, Jacksonville Town
ship; A. M. FRAGILE, Richlands
Township; and C. R. Bush, Stump
Sound Township.
Sloan advanced the opinion that
if other counties would follow the
Onslow lead, many veterans who
now walk the streets might re-
solve to return to the farm. The
veteran needs advice about land,
farming implements, housing, IL
nancing and a host of other prob
lens. If friendly, practical informa-
ton is readily available, his task
will be sinplified," Sloan observ
ed.
Aid To JObless
State UCC Director A. L. Fetch
er said the step may be long
stride toward the reduction of I'm
employment among veterans.

Carolina Farm Comment
By J. H. JETER

cause it can be handled by the
family; it fits in well with the
farming system followed in that
section; it is we'll adapted to the
small farm; the income compares
favorably with any other crop that
they can grow; and no large cash
outlay is required to start pro,
duction. In other words, his Tur.
kish tobacco seems to be made for
small farms. 1t is a new cash
crop for the small farmer of west
ern Carolina.
Low Fertility
On the whole, the soils used for
growing the Turkish tobacco have
been those of from medium to low
fertility. A rich, fertile soil is not
wanted. The farmers used only
stable manure in limited amounts
plus little sulphate of potash at
the rate of about so pounds per
each fourth of an acre, or 200
pounds an acre. This was the only
commercial fertilizer used and the
tobacco did SO well that this will
probably be the only fertilizer
used until additional field tests
at Oxford determine differently.
Wilkins and his associates are
of the opinion that the crop has
possibilities of producing a high
quality lea1 here in North Carolina
but first it must be allowed to age
for two or three years and Their
the tobacco companies must mix
it into some of their blends before
the exact measure of quality car
be determined
Has Possibilities
The majority of those men who
will grow the crop in 1915 believe
that they have crop adapted tc
their conditions and, if the fina,
results show that this North Caro-
lina-grown Turkish tobacco can be
used in cigarette blends just as
satisfactorily as that from Asia
Minor, then we shall be indepen
dent of foreign countries in oul
tobacco industry. We already have
factory over in Pennsylvania
making all the cigarette paper we
need
Turkish tobacco is being planted
this season in the same three coun
ties of Haywood, Ashe, and AL
leghany with some further expan
sion into Caldwell.

"HAT-LIFTINC"
SAVES men MONEY
Harnett Farmers May Be
Able To Buy Extra Box
OF Coronas AS Result

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
April MANY Harnett County
men who normally expect to shell
out a sizeable ante of cigar money
for the little iady's Easter top
knot may thank Miss Willie N.
Hunter, Extension clothing spe-
cialist at State college, for that
extra box of coronas this year,
according to Harnett Home Agent
Jean Pegrem.
Miss Pegrem has made the fol-
lowing report of "hat-lifting'' by
farm women in Harnett:

perhaps some of the most in

year-old hat which she will wear
as an Easter bonnet. Mrs. P. H.
Biddle of the Mt. Pisgah commu-
nifty, raised the crown and cut off
much of the brim of her last years

at no expense. Numbers of club

100000 CORN
SEED YIELD SEEN
Hybrid Variety Expected
To Return North Carolina
Growers That Figure

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
April by 1850, hybrid corn is
expected to create a $4,000, 00O-a-
year seed business in North Caro-
lima, according to a statement to-
day by DR.. Lands S. Bennett, State
College agronomist and member
of the North Carolina Crop I'M
provelnent Association.
The six-year-old agronomy plan
to promote 100 per cent use of
bodybuilding hybrid corn in this
state is ahead of schedule, DR..
Bennett said, indicating that about
10 per cent of the 1916 corn crop
will be planted with adapted n.y.
brid strains. Except for the fact
that considerable time is required
to breed this type seed, it was OBJ
served, hybrids would have elimi-
mated all other varieties even now.
The schedule of doubling hybrid
paintings each year called for an
eight per cent seeding in 1916.
S9.75 Bushel
At current retail prices, certified
hybrid corn seed now retails at
1918 per bushel, best grade. The
state normally plants about 100000
bushels of corn each year, the
agronomist said.
In the six years since the be-
ginning of the corn breeding pro-
gram, agronomists have determin-
ed which varieties are best adapt
ed to the various sections of the
state, what fertilizers should be
used and what cultivation practices
are best.
-. Simple Rules
One of the most significant re-
suits of research with the fast i'm
proving crop, DR.. Bennett said, is
that the use of hybrid seed will
send yields sky-rocketing if simple
production rules are followed. A
hybrid strain should be used for
just one planting on any one farm,
he added. If the corn is re-seeded
a second year, he said, yields will
be reduced by Is per cent or more.
Results will also be discoura gins
if farmer in the Piedmont uses
a type seed which has been tagged
for use in the Coastal Plain.

Changes Adopted h
 Traffic, ParkingS Setup ' More Drastic Recommendation May Follow as Result of Traffic Competitions, Numerous Complaints

Traffic system alterations which will affect truck drivers, bus pas sengers, everyday motorists and pedestrians alike were approved by the Board of Police Commissioners at . meeting yesterday following recommendation by Police Superin- tendent William J. Roach.
 Criticism by truck drivers be- cause of Q police ban which re- qlired that they either double park or refrain from making deliveries to many downtown business estab- lishments, resulted in the most noteworthy traffic changes. The Board approved 8 recommendation that a no parking ban, except for truck drivers, be put into effect be- tween 2 8. m and II a. m. on the following streets:
 East Main Street, south side, from Exchange Place to Brook Street; East Main Street, north side, from Phoenix Avenue to Me- Elligotts Gasoline Station; North Main Street, east side, from East Main Street to Monroe Place-Mon- roe Place Is the small driveway north of the Mohican Market on North Main Street,

lowanceS had to be made for deliv- cries in these sections; but 1t was also stated that afternoon deliver les in the downtown business sec tions may have to be suspended in the near future. However, con- missioners agreed the present setup will suffice for the time being.
 Changes in bus parking at the Green were also approved by the Board. It was ruled that all vest bound busses which make turns at Leavenworth Street - Middlebury, Highland Avenue busses, etc.-w1ll hereafter be required to pick up passengers at the east end of the Green so as to relieve congestion and possible danger of accident when these particular vehicles make a sharp left turn into Leavenworth Street.
 Two changes from two-way streets were also approved. Judd Street will be a one-way street for motorists going south, and Spring Street will be one-way for motorists going in northerly direction.
 A traffic light at Spring and East Main Streets, to be used between the hours of 6:30 D. III. and 8:30 a. m, when no traffic officer is on duty. will be installed the Board ruled.
 Parking Changes
 Changes in parking in the down. town section between the hours of 5 and 6 D. m. were instituted after the Board agreed that the changes were necessary because of the con- gested traffic conditions during this hour. Parking during this hour on the following streets will be pro- hibited, the Board ruled:
 East Main Street, north side, to Brown Street; East Main Street, south side, from South Main Street to Milr Street; East Main Street, south side, from Hamilton Avenue to Rutledge Street; West Main Street, south side, from Lewis Street to Bank Street; North Main Street, east side, from North Main and East Main Streets to Savings Street.

Naugatuck, April 4-Men1bers of the Fish and Game Club discussed plans for construction of a fishing pond on. their property at Platts Mills, at a meeting last night.
 The plan calls for a pond S3O feet across at its widest point and Il feet deep. Plans will be drawn up Sunday after members meet at the property at 8 8. m. to survey the area to be included in the pond which will be formed by erecting dam across the brook flowing through the clubs 25-acre grunds. Cnstructin will begin s when the plans are apprved by state authort- ties.
 The sum of $300 previously ape propriated by the unit for pur- chase of lingering trout to stock local streams will be used to finance early stages of the project. The money reverted to the land com mittee after the organization found itsAlf able to purchase the trout,
 Discussion indicated that the proposed clubhouse, picnic grounds, and bathing lockers would sur- round the pond.
 The erection of a clubhouse on the property is being held in abey- ance until the materials shortage Is relieved.
 Additional supplies were reported taken from the stream feeding the New Dam in investigation of re- ported pollution. Members believe two factories located near the stream
 are emptying acids into the water after their use in plating work.
