Very respectfully, ' JAMES E. BELL, Special Agent. . Sept. 25, 1935. ULX AAA Contracts For Basic Crops Are Simplified Adjustment contracts for basic crops are becoming more simpli fied, especially with regard to ad justed acreage, it is pointed out by Chester C. Davis, Administrator of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. “During three seasons of experi ence”, Mr. Davis said, “the AAA has developed basic commodity con tracts that are unified in their es sentials, and are greatly simplified. The replacement crop feature in particular has been improved, so that contracting farmers can de velop their own sound rotation sys tems by using the acres of their farms for the purposes which suit them best, and still protect pro ducers of other commercial crops from competition. “The new wheat and tobacco contracts leave free play for the best farming practices that fit each particular farm in adjusting the use of land shifted from wheat and tobacco to other constructive uses.” Each of the new contracts now reads: *Use of Adjusted Acreage and Other Land—To use on this farm in each contract year in which the contract is operative, for soil-im proving or erosion-preventing crops, pasture, fallow, forest trees, and such other purposes as the Secretary (of Agriculture) may prescribe, an acreage not less than the normal acreage devoted to such uses on this farm plus an acreage equal to the adjusted acreage un der this and all other contracts with the Secretary with respect to this farm.’ Under the early contracts the contracted acres were definitely marked off in the fields where the crop under contract was grown. Mr. Davis said that he expects that this simplified principle will be followed in other new contracts. x Ford Sponsors World Series Broadcast The World Series is being given again this year over a nation-wide hookup) of all stations of both the Columbia and NBC networks by the Ford Motor Company, whose broad casting of this important sporting event was one of the big radio events of 1934.

A More Pork Now Result Of Pig And Sow Buying Hog slaughter probably would have been smaller this summer without the advance adjustment in hog numbers brought about by the emergency pig and sow buying pro gram nearly two years ago and the 1934 corn-hog program, it is point ed out by County Agent E. L. Rog ers in reviewing the beneficial ef fects of the adjustment programs orior to the unprecedented drought last year. The slaughter of the 6,200,000 pigs in the fall of 1933 brought about a timely adjustment in hog numbers in advance of the drought and saved from 60 to 70 million bushels of com which otherwise would have been used to finish these animals for market during the late winter and early spring of 1934 when the hog and pork mar kets were already glutted, Mr. Rog ers says. If these pigs had been finished for market they would not have increased the present supply of meat, for pork products are rela tively perishable and rarely held in storage over six months. The feed saved to carry a larger number of animals through the drought pe riod has increased the amount of meat available to consumers this summer. Smaller spring farrowings under the 1934 corn-hog contract helped to bring about a further material reduction in hog numbers in ad vance of the drought and thereby provided for a more orderly liquida tion of hog numbers—a liquida tion that was made necessary be cause of the extreme shortage of feed. Without this advanced ad justment, a drought-relief pig buy ing program would have been necessary last summer, the hog market would have been demoral ized, a much larger number of spring pigs would have been sacri ficed at light weights, and much valuable feed would have been virtually wasted starting pigs which could not possibly have been fed out in view of the feed shortage. Sell Hens When They Stop Laying CLEMSON, Sept. 28.—A hen makes eggs from the feed she eats and unless she gets a full feed she cannot lay her maximum quantity of eggs. Hence it is a bad prac tice, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman, for poultrymen to at tempt to lower expenses by cutting out the mash or cutting down on the total feed. The best way to cut down ex penses, Mr. Gooding advises, is to cull regularly during the fall, thus disposing of the hens that stop lay ing, and continue to feed the hens that stay in production. The hens that quit laying can be easily spot ted by following these suggestions: The comb, wattles, and ear lobes of a hen enlarge or contract, de pending on the condition of laying. If these parts are large and smooth, the bird is laying. When the comb is shrunken and round the bird is not laying. The whole abdomen of a laying hen is dilated so that the pelvic bones are widespread and the end of the breastbone is forced down, away from the pelvic bones so as tc give a large capacity. If the ends of the pelvic bones are soft and pliable the hen is, in all probability laying at the time of the exami nation. If the bones are close to gether and the points hard, the hen' is not laying. Accurate culling is possible only in a well fed flock, kept free fron lice and mites throughout the sum mer months. When a hen stop, laying she usually starts molting The later a hen lays in the sum mer the greater will be her egg pro duction, so the high producer is the late layer and hence the late molt* er, provided she receives a balanced ration. When Jelly “Sheets Off” It’s Time To Stop Cooking When fruit juice and sugar arc cooked rapidly together in r broad, flat-bottomed saucepan, r point is reached where pe?tia an'’ acid of the fruit combine with suga to make jelly. Some ielly mak 0 ** use a thermometer to discover thi: point. They say it is reached when the thermometer reads 219 degrees or 221 degrees Fah renheit.

V It’s A Good Slogan In Any Language “Wa-su-ru-na O-to-kui wo; Wa- su-fa-re-ru-na O-to-kui ni.” That’s the Japanese version of a slogan, less than a year old but al ready translated into dozens of languages, including the Scandi navian, originated by W. E. Holler, vice-president and general sales manager of Chevrolet Motor Com pany. , In English, the slogan is: “Never forget a customer; never let a customer forget you.” Mr. Holler has received a copy of olaques in which the slogan is re- aroduced in Japanese ideographs, is produced by General Motors Japan, Ltd., for circulation throughout Japan and Man- choukuo. A letter from R. A. May, manag- ng director, relates that the Jap anese are extremely keen about slogans, and the demand for the Holler phrase in the native lan guage led to the circulation of 10,- )00 copies on large sheets, for post- ng in general offices of G. M. deal erships and also in the quarters of commercial concerns that seek to impress the underlying meaning of the slogan upon their sales forces It was Mr. May who changed the ideographs into the “wa-su-ru-na” phonetic rendering given in the fc egoing. For a test, Mr. Holler inquired of a Tapanese visitor what the ideo- graphs meant in English. The ' wer was: “Forget not the customer; don’t t r forgotten bv the customer.” specialists find temperature test'- for jellies not as dependable as the ‘“•vo-drop” or sheeting-off test T’^e temperature when the jelly “sheets off” may vary with the kind of fruit or its condition. This test is simple. When the rapidly boiling sirup reaches a point where it no longer runs ou‘ of a large spoon in a steady stream but separates into two lines of drops which sheet together—it is time to stop cooking.
