Agree On Program To Improve Dairying 1 Farmers, dairymen and exten sion workers have 'agreed on an eight-point dairy program to be followed during the next five years in building the dairy industry of this state. The eight points of this program ! are: ' I 1?Produce an adequate amount ' of dairy products for the home and : local markets. 1 a?Raise the average milk produc- 1 tion of the North Carolina cow. t 3?Encourage official testing. 4?Produce quality dairy pro- 1 ducts. I 5?Encourage creameries, milk i plants and cheese factories where < needed. I 6?Encourage dairy research. . '? 7?Encourage a more general use of good dairy equipment. < 8?Make dairy farming perma- 1 nent. In commenting on this program, < John A. Arey dairy extension spe- : cialist, says that the present pro- 1 duction of dairy products in North : Carolina, especially butter and i cheese, is far below local demands. The average milk production of the cows in the State is around 3, 600 pounds a year which is too low for profit. At least 65 .percent of i the dairy sires now in use are 1 grades or scrubs; and cows do not get enough grain and legume hay. At least one acre of good pasture is needed for each mature cow and this is not available at this time. But he especially urges those farmers who go into the dairy busi ness to stay in it, rather than get in one year when cotton and to bacco are low in price and out the first time these crops pay a profit. Dairy farming is not an emergency measure for low priced tobacco or cotton. It is a permanent farm in dustry and may be used to sup plement cotton and tobacco farm ing with excellent results. Build Laying Houses For Maturing Pullets The North Carolina poultry year begins on November 1 and closes on October 31 of the following year. Most poultry records are kept be tween these two dates. "If the new poultry laying house for the crop of pullets now matur ing on the range is built at once, the owner will have time to get the pullets into the house by Novem jber 1," says Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry department at the State college. "Those who wish to build new houses may get a plan of construction from either the agri cultural editor or the poultry de partment of the college. These plans are available for houses of the size to take care of flocks rang ing from 125 to 500 hens." Where there is a suitable laying house built, it should be looked over carefully and repaired as needed. Especially, should the roof be care fully repaired and all leaks stopped, says Dr. Kaupp. Wet floors mean sick birds and sick birds do not lay winter eggs. Yet winter eggs are the ones that pay the highest profits. The walls need to be tight so that no drafts are allowed to blow on the birds. Drafts usually mean colds and possibly an attack or roup and this also reduces profits. The laying house should face to the south and drop curtains are needed for the opening to keep out cold winds, rains and snow. Sucli curtains may be made very eco nomically by ripping open- old feed j bags and lacing them with baling I wire at the top and bottom so that | they may be pushed back during | the day and closed on cold nights. For convenience in knowing what size to build the new laying house. Dr. Kaupp says that one 20 by 24 1 feet will accommodate from 125 1 to 150 hens. The college has blue 1 prints available for different sized ' houses and will be glad to send these to prospective builders. Most ? of the county farm agents have copies of these blue prints how . ever and it might be wise to con I suit the county agent before order ing a plan. ! Potato growers of Avery county sold 633 bushels of No. 1 tubers to ' j the Soldiers home at Jackson City, Tennessee. . Eighty-eight Alamance county farmers inspected the clover and hay fields of Rowan county on a " recent tour. i Bermuda grass may be controlled by planting a heavy seeding of common lespedeza over the lnfest . ed field, says L. E. Stewart of Ca barrus county. r!

NELSON-GRAHAM ROAD ! < Vew Stretch of Highway, Just Open- . ed, Cuts Distance Between Raleigh 1 and Greensboro To 73 Miles While Highway 10 Route Was 86 Miles. Highway No. 54, from Graham to ( Helson, should prove popular with.. the traveling public as the distance, jetween the two towns Is much j shorter than highway 10, by way of Durham. R. W. Madry, of Chapel1 Sill, under date of August 10, writes o the Greensboro News as follows: The entire stretch of the state lighway between Nelson and Gra nam was opened for traffic this week, and as a result the University it North Carolina was brought in ;o much closer touch with the state ind the nation. The distance from Chapel Hill to Greensboro is now only 45 miles, whereas it formerly was 56. This new stretch of highway will divert a great deal of travel north and south that formerly passed through Durham, Hillsboro, Mebane and Haw River. In fact, It is now nearer from Durham to Greensboro via Chapel Hill than by the old route. Raleigh-Greensboro Closer By way of Chapel Hill it is now only 73 miles from Raleigh to Greensboro, whereas by way of Durham the distance is 86 miles. The shortest route to points south for travelers coming via Durham will also be by way of Chapel Hill. The distance from Chapel Hill to Charlotte via Graham and Greens boro is now only 138 miles,-where as it used to be 155. Thus the northern route to Charlotte now becomes shorter than the southern route which goes by way of Pitts boro and Aberdeen. * The distance from Chapel Hill to Charlotte via the southern route is 150 miles, whereas with this new road to Gra ham the distance via the northern route is only 138 miles. Of course the traffic on the northern route is heavier and there are more towns. In Excellent Shape. This new Nelson-Graham high way is in excellent shape. The sec tion from Nelson to Chapel Hill, which intersects the Durham-Ra leigh highway about 10 miles east of Durham, was recently tarred. The first 15 miles of the section from Chapel Hill to Graham is sand-clay and the last 10 miles is cement. The three miles from Graham to Burlington is all cement. From Chapel Hill to Graham there are no towns to slow up traf fic. In fact there is only one red light encountered all the way from Chapel Hill to Greensboro. It is on the main street in Graham. The red lights in Burlington may be avoided easily by following the paved street that bears to the left EXECUTOR'S NOTICE.
