JVNB ft A" 111 1 * tm *' 111 ~ “^' |T Ji INTERESTING |i FACTS FOX FARMERS | 9 I TIMELY HINTS ON GROWING CROPS. “Farm Philosophy** A crop is no better than the seeds from which it is grown. * * * Skimping other farm expenses to buy labor saving machinery is good business. * * * The best way to give rolling land a square deal is with terracing in struments. * * * Frank Farmer says; “My cement feeding floor for hogs has paid for itself in one year and so cost me nothing.” * * * “One-crop farmers, like one-arm ed men, labor under a heavy handi cap,” wisely observes a Tennessee University farm philosopher. * * * “Farm boys and girls are educated, not only in the schools, but actual apprenticeship to life”—Secretary Arthur M. Hyde. “Fact* for Farmer*” In riding over Chatham county, and visiting with farmers’who keep cows, one is impressed with the num ber of good cows we already have in Chatham, but at the time, it is a striking fact that some of these good cows are not having the attention and feed that they should have. In other words, our farmers are not feeding according to production. Feed consumption follows milk production, and because of this fact, it is necessary to feed each cow as an individual, to measure the proper quantity and quality of feed to meet her individual requirements. The mere fact that we feed a large amount of feed to a dairy cow does not necessarily mean that she will be a heavy milker. On the other hand, heavy milk production stimulates feed consumption. As we all know, there is a certain amount of feed required by the cow for growth and reproduction. This feed is known as the maintenance requirement. Up to a certain point, the milk production of good cows depends upon how much feed above this maintenance requirement that she gets. Good cows do not secure suffi cient feed nutrients from pastures to produce their maximum yields of milk and butterfat. Pastures must he supplemented with other feeds, usually more concentrated feeds such as grains, to get the most satisfac tory yields of milk and butterfat. Weighing milk . from each indivi dual cow. and feeding according to these yields is just as important at this season of the year as it is dur ing the winter months. Experts Declare Close Spacing of Cotton Very Important This Year The unusually late plantings of cotton this year occassioned by the continued rains and storms make the production of early fruit even more necessary than in most years, and every farmer will want to follow those practices giving maximum pro duction of flowers early in the sea son. Close spacing of plants within the row will induce early fruiting, for, says Prof. T. S. Buie, Chief Agrono mist., South Carolina Experiment Station, it has been clearly proved, both by experiments and by the prac tice of progressive farmers that the number of squares and bolls pro duced early in the season is in direct proportion to the number of plants per acre. About midseason, the num ber of squares and bolls per plant is usually about the same, regard less of spacing; and since where plants are somewhat crowded there are so many more per acre there will be much more total fruit produced on a given area. Under boll weevil conditions the fruit produced early in the season determines, largely, the final pro duction of cotton. In experiments producted in various parts of South Carolina, close spacing has invaria bly produced the highest yields, al though not always the heaviest fruited individual plants. The spacing which Prof. Buie re commends is two to three plants approximately every 12 inches, which in common practice, mean every hoe width. <S> Silos Coining into their Own in Chatham and North Carolina Because the silo is an investment and not an expense, the good dairy farmers usually has one or more according to the size of his herd. In North Carolina, hundreds of silos were constructed in 1928, and in all probability, eight to ten silos will be constructed in Chatham county this summer or early fall. Most of the farmers constructing these silos are dairy farmers in the Hickory mountain section commun ity. The silo is the cow’s fruit jar where green feed is stored and cured until most needed. Silage must not be considered as a substitute for grain, but as a supplement to it. Cows require both grain and silage and pas ture for the profitable production of milk. When winter comes, and there Is no pasture, the silo proves its val|ie, but the silo is better than pas turage in that it contains the corn grains in addition to the succulent leaves and stalks. Silage also appeals to the cows taste. A number of crops may be canned m the silo, though corn is the most popular in North Carolina. The size of the silo depends upon the size of the herd, the rate of feeding, and the length of the feeding period. The average rate of feeding for the dairy cow is about 30 pounds per day, so when feeding 10 to 15 cows, the dia meter should be 10 ft.; 15 to 25 cows, Farm News I Edited by N. C. SHIVER, County Agt. 18 ft.; 25 to 30 cows, 14 ft; and 25 to 40 cows, the diameter should be 16 ft. 4-H Club News Activities of the Farm Boys of Chatham It should be an inspiration to Chat ham County Calf Club boys to know that Audry Grant of Chester, S. C., sold his purebred cow, bought as a calf a few years-ago, for SIOOO at the South Carolina State Sale a few days ago. This cow was bought by the J. C. Penny Estate. Audry bought this cow as aJieifer in 1926, paying $165 for it. This boy has accomplished the following his calf; three trips to the State Fair at Columbia, S. C. won by his cow, one trip to the National Dairy Show in Memphis, two silver loving cups; a string of blue and purple ribbons as long as he is, and a free trip to the J. C. Penny farms and a sight seeing trip to New York City. The latest member of the Chatham Calf Club is Ike Bland. Ike has given his order to the County Agent for a registered, Jersey Calf. The two sons of Mr. Walker Tho mas of Moncure, N. C. RFD No. 2 also given their order to the County Agent for a registered Jersey Calf. There are 27 members of the Chat ham County Junior Calf Club and each of these members has, or will have within the next three weeks, a registered Jersey calf.

Upon reaching a certain age many persons have a tendency to per suade themselves that they are g£ ting old. Many seem to think that they should give up all mental and physical activities and thus save themselves. But, according to the viewpoint should hold. Every effort should be made to make this period of life a comfort and enjoyment. Don’t give up in despair. Old age should only be a physiological change, and not at all unpleasant. Mental as well as physical diversion is essen tial to health and happiness in age as well as in youth. Perhaps, you only think you are getting old? Such light occupations as read ing, sewing, simple carpentry etc. that requires dexterity and men tal application are helpful. Elderly persons should attend social gather ings and be included in spirited con versations with younger people. This practice is stimulating and often proves beneficial. It should not be felt that a person is no longer en titled to an interest in life because he is old.—The Pathfinder. > — New Boarder: “When I left my last boarding place the landlady wept.” _ .
