used Methyl Bromide to treat
his bed this year and had an
ample supply of good healthy
plants to set. up his own acreage
and furnish plants to his neigh
bors. The Negro County Agents
say that many tobacco growers
fail to treat their tobacco plant
beds in early spring due to
weather condition. Consequent
t.v, weed heels and poor plant
supply have been prominent, ex
cept in cases where beds were
prepared in suitable woodland
areas.
Grain Sorghum
On The Move In
Warren County
WARRENTON— According to the
Negro Form Agent’s office, grain
serghun t- were planted on a num
ber of farms in rural Warren Coun
ty recently.
■T. B Russell of the Cool Springs
Community is the owner of r, very
fruitful crop which followed small
gram.
The agent has the foliov ng to
say of grain sorghum:
"One of the advantages cf grain
sorghum is that production and
harvest can be completely me
chanized without special equip
ment. The harvest is accomplished
with the seme combine used for
v/ht-at. oats, barley or soybeans.
Consequently, savings on labor and
equipment may be an advantage

I Meat-Type Hog Is Great Need
I In The Production Os Swine
| WARRENTON Warren Coun
| f.y's greatest need in the field of
i s’.nn? production, according to the
j Negro county agents, is increased
. i production of meat type hogs.
The agents said a sizeable num
. j her of farmers have begun supply
-1 mg meat-type animals. But meat
i i type production is not a necessity
I for just a few farmers it is a
[ ! necessity for all swine producers.
j They said several trends have
, I increased demand for meat-type,
: rather than lard-type hogs:
Ut Tocrc has been a declining
i 1 demand for land. Lard prices have
• j gone down while price of the im

s 1 for two end a half times more
i per pound than lard
The council undertake* every
year a project that will benefit
Iheii community. Last year sheets
and pillow slips were donated to
the hospital from the council. This
year's project is to paint, the as
sembly room and lounge in the
Community Center.
In addition to Home Demonstra

Home Agent's office, the Assistant
Home Agent works with 4-H girls.
There are twenty 4-H Clubs in
Warren County and one YMW
Club, During the school term,
these 4-H Clubs meet once a month
for demonstrations and news from
the Home and Farm Agents. The
girls ere tnld of new technique#

In the summer there are vari

pork dropped from 3 2 percent of
consumer income in the early 19-
30's to two per cent in 1957.
What is a meat type hog?
According to Farm Agent L. C.
Cooper, it is one which, when
slaughtered, will yield in high per
centage of quality, lean muscling
(red meat) and a low percentage
of fat The meat hog is normally
a long, slim animal from the base
of the ear to the rcot of the tail.
Cooper contends that any War
ren farmer can begin procuring
meat-type animals with little capi
ta) outlay. Warren County is bless
ed with some good breeding stock
which will produce meat hogs.
Meat-type breeding stock can be
found within a few miles of any

gists and meat-type boars, a farmer
can begin producing the type hogs
in demand within a matter of
weeks. But a farmer can purchase
just a meat-type boar and gradual
ly increase the quality of his hogs.
Unfortunately, too many of us to
day do not realize the importance i
of a good boar and are not willing
to spend the money necessary to
get a good one. The boar is or.e
half the herd in respect to the off
springs a farmer produces. Money
spent in obtaining the right boar
is the best money ever spent by
a swine producer.

until 3.00 a. m„ seeing that the |
pigs were dry, warm and nursing j

have it so good?"’
Garden Time
By M E. GARDNER
I think I should again remind ;
you about the importance ot hav- j
ing a compost pile. It is the most !
economical source of organic mat-j
ter that I know about, and has j
many uses around the home and j
farm top dressing lawns, j
mulching borders, trees and!
shrubs, etc.
You will need some suitable!
place to stack your leaves andj
other refuse The corner of a |
wall will furnish two sides for!
your pit; you can board up the I
other two; a nabandoned manure !
pit. or a hog pen which still has
boards around it but may need e
Little reinforcing.
Leaves, grain straw, molded
hay. corn shucks and many
other materials can be used.
Do not add diseased plants or j
weeds on which seed have ma- :
fared, Put down about 12 or
14 inches of your dry materi
als and then a liberal layer
of chicken or stable manure.
Then alternate the layers an- * i
til your pile is from four to six
feet high. If you do not have
manure available you can use
commercial fertilizer, such as j
6-8-6 or 8-8-8. A liberal
sprinkling will do the trick. If
you want a genera! guide, use
a pint cup of fertilizer to each
10 square feet of space.
At State College we make all of;
the soil that goes into our benches j
and beds in the greenhouses. The |
last time we prepared a compost j
pile we used wheat straw, sawdust,
chicken manure and soil, in lay
ers. After six month, we cut, or
turned, the pile and left it- for an
other six months before using.
You too can use sawdust, the old
er the better. If you want to add
a layer of this material, make it
about six inches deep and apply a
little more commercial, fertilizer
to the sawdust, layer. I believe it
decomposes faster when manure
is used,
Keep the pile moist, at all time*..
During the fall, winter and early
spring the rainfall should be suf
ficient but watch out for prolong
j ed dry periods in summer.
