SCOTT MAKES APPEAL
TO COTTON FARMERS
TO INSURE A PROFIT

RALEIGH, March 17-''Every
year in North Carolina unavoidable
hazards wipe out years work, a
years investment for some cotton
farmers" W.. Kerr Scott, commits
sioner Of agriculture, declared re-
Gently in appealing to Tar Heel
cotton farmers to take every. pre-
caution to assure themselves OF
an income from this cash crop.
Crop losses not only wipe out
individual farmers, m but affect
whole communities as well, ne
added. They slow down business
and raise the cost of living for the
folks throughout. the State. n
Crop insurance now being OF
|fered to cotton growers in the cot
ton producing sections OF the state
protects farmers investments and
virtually eliminates the natural
risks involved in growing cotton
The Federal insurance program
offers protection up to 70 per cent

EXPORTS GAINING
State Agriculture Depart
ment Estimates Sales Will
Total 4O0,OO0,0O0 Lbs.

RALEIGH, March 1.-THE dis.
appearance of fue-cured tobacco
is continuing at exceptionally
high rate, and total exports during
the 12-month period ending June
80 may total as much as 400, 900, 0O(
pounds and are expected to con.
tinue at high levels during the
next two to three years, the N. C.
Department of Agriculture has
been notified by the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics.
Since about 81 per cent of all
flue-cured tobacco produced in the
nation is grown in North Carolina,
the immediate future for our to-
bacco farmers appears pretty
bright according to Agriculture
Commissioner w. Kerr Scott.
Pointing out that individual farm
acreage allotment will be 10. per
cent larger this year than in 1945,
Scott said it is the consensus OF
tobacco experts that the increase
in flue-cured acreage for 1946 ap-
pears desirable, view of the low
level of stocks abroad, and the ex'
pected high level Of postwar de-
mand by foreign countries.
He warned farmers, however
against neglecting the er pro
ductio and marketing Of their to
baeco crop, explaining that despite
the favorable outlook for flue-curee
tobacco, tobacco specialists believe
that prices paid growers have
Preached their peak. y~.
I'VE anticipate that price varia
tons between the various grades
If tobacco may be wider this year
and a great deal wider next sea
son. said Scott, explaining thai
the strong domestic and foreign de
Imands for tobacco at or near cell
ling prices, which were in terms
of weighted averages, have pre-
tented the normal spread in prices
between the various qualities

STATE STRAWBERRY
ACREAGE TO REMAIN

RALEIGH, March 1.-THE State
Department Of Agriculture expects
North rarolina's 1916 strawberry
acreage to be around 1890 or
about the same as harvested last
year.
The plants came through the
winter in excellent condition, and
a good yield should be realized
unless there is unfavorable wea-
Their during the growing and har-
vesting season.. -
The acreage Of lettuce for har-
vest in this State is estimated at
!, 400, compared with 1880 in 1915,
and with 1900 for the 10-year Pc

Carolina Farm Comment
By F. H. JETER
BY F.. H. JETEp.

| - ~
Backbone in the land is needed
as badly as backbone in a man.
Inc way to get this backbone in
the land is. to build it up through
the use Of limestone and phos-
pnates. That the intriguing
statement in a talk made to over
ooo northwestern North Carolina
farmers at Elkin by DR.. Tom Hut.
cneson, agronomist from vPI at
Blacksburg, Virginia. DR.. Tom is
rated as one of the sound, practi-
cal agronomists of the South. He
mas spent more than 30 years at
work on the problems of farm and
held in his native state Of Vir-
ginia and he studies keenly the
results which good farmers get in
applying scientific research to their
own problems.
DR.. Tom had a few disparaging
things to say about the lack Of
cover crops in the North Carolina
territory over which he had travel
ed in getting to Elkin. But he had
failed to realize that last fall was
one of the most difficult periods
in our late history to get anything
planted ON time. At any rate, the
speaker told how to build land SO
that it would produce more feed
for livestock. That was his pur-
pose in being there; and the occa-
sion was the fourth annual farm
ers day held by the public spirit
ed citizens, of Elkin for the farm
ers Of Allegheny, Surry, Wilkes,
Yadkin, and Stokes counties. More
than 500 men attended the after
noon session held in the commo-
dious YMCA gymnasium, given to
the people of Elkin by Thurmond
Chatham. This number was swell.
ed to nearly q thousand by six
o'clock when plates for exactly
/ ,002 persons were set for the
evening banquet.
This great meeting was sponsor
ed by the Junior Chamber of Com
merce, aided by the Elkin Lions
Club and the. Elkin Kiwanis Club.
It was promoted by those two
Woodworking men, Garland John
son, mayor of the town and head
of its agricultural council, and
Colonel Neill Smith, farm agent
of Surry County. The farm agents
of the adjoining counties also aid
ed in making the event a success
and they were there with great
delegations of their leading farm
ers.
The meeting began at two-thiry
! in the afternoon when NELL Smith
welcomed the folks and then asked
that I take charge for the afternoon
program. Tom Hutcheson was the
first speaker and was followed by
Jim Hilton, head of the State Col.
Iege Animal Industry Department
/ DR.. Hilton declared emphatically
that the future Of livestock grow
ing in this state depends on the
feed that we are willing to pro
drce. He called attention to the
low yields Of corn and other crops
made on the average land and said
that as long as we are content with
such low yields, then, we would
never have great livestock grow.

up land and then how to use q
fertile soil to make more profitable
yields. Fertilizer, they said, pays
best when used on good land
That's why DR.. Tom Hutcheson

ice were there to lead each discus.
sion. Q. F. McCary, district farm
agent in the northwest was chair
man of one group; Tai H. Stafford
was chairman of the second group:
and Station McIver was chairman
Of the third group. These folks
had Commute sessions until time
for the banquet meeting when
everyone gathered in the gymna-
SUM again. By this time, it had
been converted into a great din
ing room and places had been laid
for the 1000 or more guests of
the evening. On each plate was a
generous helping of fried chicken,
string beans, Boston baked beans,
candied apples, with tomato Juice,
beet pickles, hot rolls, coffee, nuts,
and sweet cucumber pickle thrown
in for good measure.
Hoke Henderson, President Of
the Elkin Kiwanis club, called the
meeting to order and handled all
the preliminaries and then Claude
Farrell introduced former Cover
nor J. Melville Broughton as the
master Of ceremonies. The COVER
nor was never in better form and
in brief talk he won the hearts
Of his hearers by his keen know
ledge Of agricultural affairs in the
state and his interest in the future
Of the rural people Of this state.
DR.. William A. Erwin Of the Am
erican Institute Of Banking made
the principal. address. DR.. Erwin
is native of Scotland, but now a
citizen Of this country. He made a
profound impression as he told his
hearers. in a simple, understand
able way, Of the difference in our
way of life as compared with that
Of other parts of the world.
But he warned his audience that
our concept of way Of life is being
challenged throughout the world
in favor Of planned economy.
This planned economy tells q
man what to do, where he shall
work, what he shall make, and
when he shall work. If he does not
do as the man or the small group
of men who have charge Of this
plan like for him to do, then he is
liquidated or purged. A planned
economy as conducted by dictators
will stand for no opposition.
The speaker did not claim that
our way of life is perfect; far from
it. He admitted to mistakes, as
we all do, but withal, he said it
is best. The applause Of the men
who heard him seem to be their
endorsement of the same opinion.
1t was the kind of wholesome meet
ing Of which there should be more
