AROUND THE FARMS IN CHOWAN,
By C. W. OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent
Many of You Swine Growers
in Chowan are on the light road
toward improving the meat type
in your hogs. A few days ago,
j Yates Parrish of Yeopim Com
, munity came by and told me that
l he had bought a bred Tamworth
gilt and that he bought one or
: more bred Durocs at Clarence
Chappell’; sale last Friday. Sev
eral other swine growers have
told me about purchasing im
j proved breeding stock.
The Albemarle Swine Breed
ers’ Association is holding its
spring sale at the Hertford Live
stock and Supply Company near
Hertford on Friday afternoon,
i February 6. at 1 o’clock. I note
by the catalog that they will have
Purocs, Hampshires, Landrace.
and possibly some other breeds to
offer. This is a good opportunity
close home to get some good
breeding stock. Os course, along
! with good breeding stock goes
good farrowing facilities and
! proper sanitation aaainst disease
and parasites to make most pro
fitable hog production. Proper
. feeding is a must. Remember,
■ your County Agent has plans for
all types of swine buildings, bul
i let ins on the latest recommended
] oractiees in swine raising and
i feed mixture formulas for anv
who wish to rhix their own bal
anced ration or supplement.
Beef Cattle numbers in Cho
wan County are not great but the
, beef cattle we have fit in very
j nicely with our farming system
l on many farms. It could be a
profitable enterprise on many]
other farms, particularly where
the land is heavy and not sure
for peanuts. In order -to justify
a good bull, the herd should con
sist of at least twelve to fifteen
breeders. A registered Hereford
bull sale will be held at the North
Carolina State Fair Grounds, Ra
leigh, next Saturday, February
7, at 1 o’clock. The show will
start at morning at 10 o’clock.
This is an opportunity to get a
good bull if you need one.
Winter Joint Meetings of Men
and Women in the various com
munities will be held during the
month of February. These meet
ings will be devoted to a special
demonstration of interest to both
men and women and we will also
discuss the community progress
program.
Practically all of these are din
ner meetings scheduled for 6:30
o’clock. Oak Grove meets at
their community building on
Tuesday evening, Gum Pond at
the Oak Grove community build
ing on Wednesday evening and
Chowan at the Chowan communi
ty building on Thursday evening.
