SL HAMILTON. Jr. County Farm Agent. Farmers throughout Watauga, as ivell as the state of North Carolina, r.ave and are continuing to sell their ; jood breeding beef bulls before they have given the bulls time to really prove their ability as herd improv- i ,-rs. This mistake is costing these ( iamicrs thousands of dollars every year. The sad part of this mistake is that after the farmers have discovered their error it is too late to correct it. One farmer said to me the other day. "The biggest mistake 1 ever made in the cattle business was when I traded my good twoyear old bull off for a yearling bull, but. he said. "I have several of this bull's heifers and they are really good and 1 am thankful that I have this much of the good bulls' blood left in my herd." This farmer is not the only farmer who is suffering from regret, but on the other hand, he is a typical example of hundreds of farmers . throughout this section of the country. Just because farmers have been , making this serious mistake there is no reason why they should continue to make this mistake in the future, rhe few owners of hulls in this county who have allowed bulls to mature from six to 12 years of age before selling them have found that they could keep the hull to this age by fencing off a special lot and using this particular field or lot to keep the bull in. The extra cost and trouble of fencing a special field for the herd bull is far cheaper than selling and buying a bull i very t wo or three years. The purebred beef sires that have ntributed the most to the improvement of the beef cattle in this county have been the sires that have been kepi until they were from six lo 12 years of age. Some of these have sired their most outstanding a Ives after reaching their sixth birthday. Now. just think what a large number of these young bulls could have done for the improvement of the beef cattle business had thev keen allowed to remain in service [or a longer period. Another important point in favor .if keeping the herd bulls longer is I hat farmers can afford to buy bettor bulls if they are going to use ll-.em for a longer period and if farmers buy better sires and use them longer the beef herds are going to improve faster and all of this will mean more pront mom Deei came n the future. The county agent's office force is low ready to take applications for inic and phosphate on the 1941 igricuitural conservation program, herefore. all farmers are urged to ilace their applications at once in irder to get these materials to their arms at an early date tlian they did ast year. We hope that every tanner in the :ounty will co-operate with the con:orvntion program during 1941 bemuse through tliis program farmers lave a wonderful opportunity to luiid up the fertility of their soil, which in turn means higher crop . ields, better pasture and more net irofit from farming. Farmers should spend more time n planning how they can best use ihosphate and lime in their faming systems. In a number of cases t would be more profitable for farners to take up their entire soilluilding allowance in phosphate and hen buy their lime in order to build ;p their land faster. We know from iemonstrations throughout the couny that where both lime and phosphate are applied that the results ire much better than where no lime las been applied.
