u-SECTTOW one PAGE TWO '/SSS&w AROUND THE FARMS; , ISSIN CHOWAN COUNTY > p T C . W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agant Inventory and Pltnninj: Farm- ’ i ing is a business. A successful. farming business depends upon i the e&iployment of good business t principles. At the close of the year a i business concern takes an in- j ventory. An inventory is im- j portant for tax reporting, but , it is also very important in de-1 ( tenftining stock supplies in view,. of restocking and planning. I The farm business inventory involves many things, especially . a study of the year’s operation.' This is needed in order to in- , telligently plan for the new ] year. Among the questions that might be considered are the fol- ' lowing: Did all fields produce proper-' ly? If not, why? Was the soil.' tested within the last three years and the report used as a guide for applying lime and fertilizer? j Was there an insect or plant di sease problem? If so, plan good pest control for next year. Is there a need for better varieties? j Are the most efficient amounts and analyses of fertilizers being used on each specific crop? Is there a need for change in some, crops for better income? Proper cultivation and weed control are very important toj good crop production. Is shallow cultivation being practiced as[ recommended? Can herbicides be used more extensively forj more efficient weed and grass control? Did herbicide injury; due to drift or improper use oc cur on cotton or other crops this year? If so, how can this be avoided? Today farming is largely a mechanized operation. Efficiency depends upon having the right kind of equipment to do the job, equipment in proper workingl condition when it is needed, and I proper operation. Now is a good time to carefully look over trac tors and equipment and have repairs made, worn parts re placed, and properly stored dur ing the winter. For small farms which can’t economically afford needed new implements, a shop ping visit to different farm ma chinery dealers’ used depart ments and perhaps used equip ment not needed on larger farms might reveal the opportunity to purchase good used equipment at a considerable saving. The’ winter months afford time so this whereas the busy season may not. We grow a lot of hogs in Cho wan County and hogs is one of our good farm cash enterprises.; Is the swine enterprise on yourl farm being operated most effi ciently for greatest income? Do' you have or are you breeding to-1 ward top quality meat type? Are you controlling parasites,! both internal and external? Are' the hogs regularly inoculated against cholera and other di seases as trouble prevention? Is the feed ration properly balanced for most efficient feed conver sion? Is there a need for im proved housing facilities? Prop er housing facilities may be pro-' vided very economically or very, expensively, depending on thej choice of the operator. Beef cattle fit into tl»e farmj program and is a good cash enterprise on many farms. This enterprise might involve the J keeping of a herd for raising calves and feeding them out fjrj market. It might be a herd kept | for producing feeder calves or stocker cattle. It might be the' feeding out of a few to many] fefeder animals gleaning waste materials on the farm and utiliz- Cato's store-wide CieoMticf, Scute! BIGGEST SALE IN TOWN EVERVITEM REDUCED upWf/6 HftPßfifiK ing roughage and surplus grain. The si2e of the feed enterprise might range from just two or three animals on a farm up to any size feeding enterprise suit able. When we livs at home and board at the same place we have more money to use for other ne cessities of life. Do you have and maintain a good year-around garden producing sufficient vegetables for fresh use as well as conserving for out-of-season use for your family throughout the year? Is there a nematode problem in your garden? Each year I encounter this pest in I many ,garden spots and yet nem ! atodes can be controlled. Do ' you watch your vegetables closely and keep insects under control and also disease prob lems that arise? “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of 'cure”, so it is much easier to prevent disease and insect dam age than it is to try to cure it. I I guess we could continue on with this farm business inven tory idea but space in this week’s paper won’t permit. I’ll try to come back to it again j soon with some other common sense ideas. I Let’s just look over 1964 very ■ carefully because it is passing !on and never again will pass this way. Let’s take a very | close look at the new born baby lof 1965 and try to give it every i possible chance to grow and de velop into a year more profit able for us in every way and at this time next December, we may look back upon another old year passing on and have the satisfaction of saying, “It was much better than 1954 because I really tried."
