State Pensions Being Paid Now in Monthly Installments
Atlanta June 20 A long time dream of Confederate pensioners is realized as state pensions move to regular monthly payments funded by tobacco stamp revenue. Reports show monthly needs rising from 70 000 to about 120 000, with June revenue at 160 000 and May at 150 000, all from tobacco stamps. The system currently pays by end of the due month, with plans to pay on the first of each month within a couple of months.

Farm Leaders Urge Step That Cuts Cost
Southern farm leaders urge side dressing of cotton and corn with quick acting nitrogen to maintain yields and profit. They warn that skipping side dressing would raise per unit costs and lower acre yields, stressing more emphasis on food and fertility crops to offset reduced cotton production. Dr. Clarence Poe summarizes urging farmers to adjust acreage and raise yields per acre.

Youre Late Mr Weevil Outwits Against Cotton Weevil
Farmers describe a method to outpace boll weevil damage by spacing two stalks per hill and applying a side dressing of quick acting nitrogen after chopping. This accelerates boll development, helping lower branches open earlier and protect the crop while sustaining a full yield.
Highest Corn Yield Made by Dixie Farmer
W Thrash, a Walnut Grove Mississippi farmer, set top corn yields in the last two years. His threeacre field produced 181 bushels per acre, then 198 bushels per acre last year. Two-sided Chilean nitrate of soda dressings, first at knee height and a second three weeks later, underpinned the gains, with both records tied to the Mississippi Better Corn Production Contest.
