Demonstrations In Use OF
Fermate Dust And Spray
Have Been Arranged

WHITEVILLE, March 30 Re.
ports of the existence of blue mole
in tobacco beds are coming in tc
the Office of Columbus County
Agent Charles D. Raper from
practically every section Of the
county, he has reported.
In a recent report to State
College officials the Extension
farm agent said that a survey
made last week revealed the fac1
that tobacco plants are extremely
small. There are from two t.
three sizes of plants in the beds
since many farmers have Der
forced to replant their beds due
to cold weather.
Columbus County's tobacco cror
may not be set until the latter
part of May, according to present
Indications, Raper said, a factor
that will throw Columbus growers
into a late season.
Checking with the various fer
mate dealers in the county, Raper
learned that farmers are treating
their beds and have created a bis
demand for suitable spraying
equipment. The majority of farm.
ers are buying the wheel barrow.

adding extra hoses and nazzles in
order to complete the job more
quickly.

CARE ADVISED IN
COTTON PLANTING
Plant Industry Specialist
Offers Pointers In
Seed Selection

c. A. McLendon, senior agrono-
mist of the U. S. Bureau of Plant
Industry, working out of Atlanta
on the cotton improvement pro.
gram, offers these pointers on
cotton seed paintings.
An ample supply of pure, sound
seed of a superior variety is all
important. One variety is suffi-
Gent for a farm community, or
larger area, and experiment sta
tons of the various states deter
mine by comparative tests the
varities best suited to the diff
ferent conditions.
To be pure, seed must be not
more than three years removed
from the breeder and its purity
safeguarded each year in the fields,
handling, ginning, and storage. II
seed is to be sound enough for
planting purposes, it should show
at least 80 per cent termination
by competent testing.
All planting seed should be re-
cleaned and graded, %reginned, and
treated for Seeding diseases. Out
fits for processing planting seed
in this way are nov available
to most cotton farmers and the
charge for this seed service is
negligible considering it's value in
obtaining a good, even stand Of
healthy plants.
Plant seed at a rate sufficient
to insure a good stand. Skimping
on planting seed is poor economy
regardless of the cost of the seed
Usually the yield of cotton in
creases as the stand approaches
thirty thousand plants per acre
The highest yields on record were
made with thick stands in closely
spaced rows.
Consult your county agent fol
further information on any or al
of these points and for suggestion:
on other important cotton produc
ton practices.

BY EULALIE MCDOWELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON W.H-Five signifi-
cant changes in the 1947 cottor
crop insurance program have
been ordered by the Federal Cror
Insurance Corporation to put ths
plan On a sounder basis. The
changes include higher premi
um rates.
The recent activity of Secretary
of Agriculture Clinton P. Ander
son in halting payment of insur
ance claims has focused attention
on the unbusinesslike nature o.
the cotton insurance program. O:
the insured commodities, only
cotton is operating in the red.
Anderson's action in haltins
payments was due to the simple
but real fact that there was nc
money to meet claims for loss
Cotton farmers who suffered loss
es will have to await a new ap.
preparation before they can col
lect.
Congressional leaders have prom.
ised early action.
Loss claims for last years cror
exceeded premiums by 300 Or 4O(
per cent In fact, meeting cottor
claims just about put the entire
government crop insurance pro
gram in the red.
Reduced Premiums Out
Besides increasing the cottor
premium rates, the FCIC has elm
mated the reduced-premium plar
which was offered to farmers ir
1915 and 1916.
Another OF the significant con.
templated changes is the lower
ing Of the amount of protection
applicable to the early-seasor
stages of production.
For example, for a farm with
an average yield of $50 pounds Of
cotton, the amount of insurance
per acre this year will be Al
pounds for the highest level of in.
Surance per acre in the earliest
stages of production. The CORE
spending amount of protection last
year was rs pounds.
At the same time, the amount
of protection this year has been
increased somewhat on acreage
carried to harvest. By cutting the
early season protection and in.
creasing the harvest protection,
FC1C hopes to discourage aban
donrnent of crops and encourage
carrying them to harvest.
A third change is the establish.
ment of earlier 1947 closing dates
for filing applications. 1t became
apparent in 1916, according to the
FC1C, that in some areas the
prospects of producing a cror
were indicated before the closing
date, thus causing more farmers
to insure in areas where prospect.
were poor. and vice versa.
Insurance Levels Changed
A Fourth change effects the
levels of insurance available t.
the farmer.
The fifth change is so-callec
simplification of the program. II
means that this year the amour
of insurance per acre will be stat
ed as a definite number of pound.
for each stage of production.
For example, the amount o.
protection per acre for a $50
pound average yielding farm 70,
the highest level of insurance is as
follows:
Al pounds before the first cult
walton.

FARM NOTES

rs pounds after the first cultiva-
ton, but before laying by;
al pounds after laying by, but
before harvest begins; and
1877 pounds after harvest begins.
Last year the amount of insur.
ance per ere was not stated in
terms of pounds but or various
percentages of the average yield.
AS the FCIC admitted, the per-
centages were not too understand
able from the farmers point OF
view and he can be expected to
welcome this change.
