TIMELY FARM
QUESTIONS,
Answered by State College
QUESTION: Is it economlical to
grind feed for my beef cattle f
ANSWER: Grinding feeds docs
not increase the nutritive value nor
does it increase digestibility, but
corn and cob meal is a safer feod
in the hands of an inexperience 1
feeder than shelled corn. The sinal.
hard-coated grains such as rye.
wheat and barley should be group'!
or rolled. Corn stover and other low
grade may welt be shred
ded so that the inedible parts ai&y
be used for bedding. If feed is
ground be sure it is coarse as fine
grinding causes digestive disturban
ces and the fine ground feed is ai-n)
more liable to heat and spoil in the
bin.
QUESTION: When is the best
time to sow seeds in hotbeds for
early vegetable crops f
ANSWER: This will depend upon
the time the plants are wanted in
the field and the section of the
State in which the garden is
In Eastern North Carolina
hardy crops as cabbages and lettuce
are sown in the fall in open beds'
or cold-frames and transplanted a-"
early as January 15. In the moun
tain sections these hardy crops a-?
started in the beds about January
1 to 15. For the early crop of ten J
der vegetables such as tomatoes a:.!
peppers ,tlie seed should be started
in hotbeds or window boxes from
eight to ten weeks before it is saf»
to set in the field.
QUESTION: Should grain fetdi
in the poultry flock be increase-l|
when artificial lights are used!
ANSWER: The use of artificial
light naturally lengthens the food j
ing period and it is therefore ne-|
cessary to increase grain consump-j
tion in order to maintain the body
weight and control egg production.!
amount to feed when lights arc J
100 birds per day is the usual j
amount t ofeed when ligghts ar?|
used but, grain consumption will!
vary from month to month. The'
birds should go to roost every night |
with their crops full of grain. Mashl
consumption will also be increased'
and this should be kept before tUe
birds at all tlm«s.
Household operation costs were
higher in small southeastern citii*
than in similar cities in other paria

LITTLE CHILDREN
, They
Are seldom understood
( And are not always good
And they turn to parenthood
To voice their say
They
Are fiill e souls of song
And will not tufrn to wrong ; |
If we help them *to be strong
And lead the way. •
They
Are ours to love and guard
To help and not retard
Even though the way is hard
From day to day.
They
Are a spiritual loan
And are really not our own
And to God we must atone
If we His trust betray.

J THE BAMBOO.
►
The bamboo wears a lacy frill,
I saw it from my window-still,
And on this day in lovely Fall,
She stands so graceful, straight and
tall,
And waves her hand, this Autumn
queen,
In flowing skirts of corded green.
And then, across the way from her,
TliCjCosinos wave and 'sturtiums stir,
For they had almost gone to sleep
When the sun had turned herself to
creep
From the flower-bed—and then
knew,
Why Fall gave lace to the tall bam
boo.
—ARLETTA B. GRAVES.

LEAVES
I watched them come in the Spring
time,
And then I watched them grow,
Till they wove a lacy network,
, That waved there to and fro.
I watched them go when the Fall
came,
And leave the trees quite bare,
And strip the shadowed pattern,
j From my window-shade with care.
I watched the twigs like finger tips,
That seemed to be&t the pane,
But I know more leaves would race
the trees,
When Spring would come again.
—ARLETTA B. GRAVES.

POINSETTIA
HAS OWN RULES
II A poinsettia ha» its own maximum
9 hours law, and it absolutely refus
es to work (grow) satisfactorily
when the days are long.
You can't even fool it with arti
* flcial light and if you keep the plant
in a room where the electric lights'
i burn at night, its growth is stunned
I So keep that in mind if you
want to have one of these beautiful

A poinscttia is what is known as]
a "short-day" plant. It needs oniy
a limited amount of sunlight. Weav
er says the question always comes
up that there is not enough artifi
cial light from an electric buld to
cause growth of the plant. May'j»
not, but that very small amount of
light will considerably delay bloom
ing of many of the "short-day"
plants, he explained.
Another factor to remember abou* |
growth of this typical Yuletid» flo«v
--er is that it is a tropical shrub. I

Therefore, if the temperaturo in thi
room where the poinsettia is grow
ing drops bolow 00 degrees JTahrcj
heit at night, it will cause S'. JV?"
growth accompanied by a yollowinf
and dropping of the foliage on th»
plant. That's whore the question of
keeping the shrub in an electrical
ly-lighted room comes in. .
If you will keep a poinsettia
warm and "put it to bed" early, yoc
can have one of the prettiest fit all
Christmas decorations in your home
