I ~^a ——■—1 Interesting Sidelights on the Farm Tour # a total of twenty-five estimates made on the yield of lint cotton ' vt V n , jive acre cotton demonstration w conducted by Mr. Henry A. w.rrington of Brickhaven. Mr. Ike averaged all of these esti and found the average to be 1 ac •> 2700 pounds of lint cotton ** five acres. Our guess is that yield will not miss this far, pro ' j of course, that we have normal '-■editions prevailing up to harvest. 1 come fifty estimates were made , *he probable yield of corn on the m ,-aere demonstration being con i -vd by Mr. N. J. Dark of Siler An average of these estimates w 'j be in the neighborhood of 45 bmhel? per acre. I e ach of the above demonstra 10n#. the Chilean Nitrate of Soda iucational bureau has offered prizes t , those farmers who estimate most correctly the yield. A prize of $3.50 fer the nearest guess, and prizes of so wd $1.50 for second and third. The Liberty Lime company of Vir r'nia through Mr. R. C. Dillon offer ed a prize of 10 tons of lime to the man who estimated most correctly the gross weight of the hogs on the farm* of J. M. Edwards. Second and t’rjrd prizes consisting of four tons of lime each are also offered. Mr. tV. Z. Crews of Pittsboro and W. H. White of Siler City declare that the lime will be theirs, as they feel v\.: they have guessed most nearest the correct weights. Members of the tour enjoyed re freshments furnished them while visiting the farm of Mr. J. B. Fear rington. They were also guests of Mr. Dillon at lunch in Pittsboro on Monday. Mr. D. S. Coletrane of the American Limestone company donated watermelons for a water melon cutting at the farm of R. P. Gee. A three-acre field of Korean les redeza. seeded as a demonstration on the farm of J. J. Glosson, Bynum, RFP. created much comment. Some of the farmers on this tour had never ?een Korean lespedeza, and these men were very favorably impressed •rith the growth this legume has The last afternoon of the tour was stent on the Bray estate at or near Harpers Cross Roads. These men were fortunate enough to see fine pastures, fields of common, Korean, ( and lespedeza No. 76. The crowd attending the tour were most congenial, and we feel that they all enjoyed themselves. Some 160 farmers attended the tour during the three days. ANOTHER REMINDER ABOUT # CROPS FOR WINTER FEED La-: week, suitable mixtures for seeding for winter feed crops were published on this page. The county agent wishes to emphasize the im portance of obtaining these seeds before prices advance, and before it is too late to sow. For best results, most of these mixtures should be seeded in the early fall, and as the demand for seed of this mixture will be large, it is important that those farmers who in: ; j eding these mixtures make :nty agent will be glad to this matter further with any .Tere.-ted, and assist them in getting the seed. ■ <$ CHATHAM COUNTY FARMERS Vv 'LL MARKET HOGS SOON bne hundred and sixteen demon — n fed hogs will be marketed A Cnatham County farmers shortly. TFn :miners are cooperating with the county agent and the office of -v:ne extension in conducting these dem nitrations. Arrangements have already been made for the local marketing of all of these hogs. These Tlie Mark of G enuine Aspirin RAYER ASPIRIN is like an old friend, tried and true.

CHATHAM BOYS ATTEND CLUB CAMP THIS WEEK Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the county agent will accompany fifteen 4-H club members of Chatham on an en campment at Jackson Springs. This is the first club camp ever held for Junior Club members of this county, and the boys are anticipating an en joyable as t well as an instructional occasion. VIRGINIA VISITOR~IMPRESSED WITH CHATHAM LESPEDEZA Mr. R. C. Dillon of Virginia, rep resenting the Liberty Lime company, is about as enthusiastic over les pedeza as some of our growers. Mr. Dillon declares that he intends to conduct a campaign for the intro duction of lespedeza in his home county, after observing the remark able growth this legume is making in Chatham. NEW VARIETIES OF CROPS ARE VISITED ON FARM TOUR Sweet clover and some of the newer varieties of lespedeza had never /been seen by some of the members of the tour, but we venture to say that some of these men will seed these newer varieties next year. As a result of meetings at these demonstrations, the agent took a number of advance orders for these seed. KEEP COWS THAT PRODUCE A PROFIT—NOT AN EXPENSE The Dairy Herd Improvement As sociation of South Carolina says that it is better to milk a few cows of known high production than to feed, care for, and milk a large herd com posed of some profitable animals and some boarders. N. G. Ayers, the tester, has cited some interesting facts in this connection that the first month’s test has brought to light. Attention was called to a man who was feeding his herd 600 pounds of grain per day, costing S4O per ton, who changed the feed at the suggestion of the association, with a saving of 200 pounds of grain and no loss in milk production, making a total profit on the saving thus ef fected of $l2O per month. Another herd owner grazing 23 cows on a mixture of five acres of Sudan grass, cane and corn, insists that one month’s grazing on this plat alone was worth $7.50 per cow, or $172.50 for the five acres. Testing the efficiency of all cream separators in operation, Mr. Ayers found one losing 49 cents worth of butterfat per day, or $15.19 per month. The trouble was due to a flaw in one disc, a new one costing 25 cents. The July summary showed that 436 cows were tested and were producing an average of 488 pounds of milk and 19.8 pounds of butterfat. D. S. COLETRANE DISCUSSES SWEET CLOVER AND ALFALFA Mr. D. S. Coletrane of the Amer ican Limestone company addressed a group of farmers attending the tour at the farm of Mr. W. H. White. Mr. Coletrane was discussing the growth of alfalfa and sweet clover, and he was fortunate in having as a background a fine two acre field of alfalfa, seeded last spring by Mr. White. For successful alfalfa grow ing, Mr. Coletrane recommended two tons of lime per acre, 35 pounds of double inoculated seed, seeded on a finely prepared seed bed in Sep tember. Mr. Coletrane was enthusiastic about sweet clover, recommending it as our best soil improving legume, and also as a forerunner of alfalfa, as it inoculates for alfalfa. His recommendation for sweet clover was 25 pounds of double inoculated seed, seeded on small grain in Feb ruary or early March, on land has had an application of one t<sn of lime per acre. • — Unique “We are the oddest grocers in the town.

Eminent au- I thority on poultry and stock raising. Nationally known poul i try breeder. Noted author and popular lecturer. $ ARTICLE IV. A ROBBER IN THE FLOCK Roup May Wipe Out a Whole Season’s Profit If Allowed to Gain Headway, Says Dr. L. D. LeGear, V. S., of St. Louis, Mo. o Editor’s Note This is another story in a series of 52 stories on poultry raising written by the well known national poultry authority, Dr. L. D. LeGear, V. S., of St. Louis. The entire series will appear in this paper. Our readers are urged to read them carefully and clip them out for future reference. - - ■ "= “The best way to cure roup,” sage ly remarked an old timer in the poultry game, “is never to have it.” That may sound like a very weak attempt to be funny, but it is gospel truth. Contagious diseases such as roup do not fall willy nilly from the heavens on some whimsical freak of fate. The way is usually paved for them by the lack of adequate sani tation, improper housing facilities, incorrect feeding, failure to cull out weaklings, the weakening effect of parasites, or by some .other form of neglect. Healthy, robust fowls, prop erly fed and housed in sanitary sur roundings, will almost always throw off the germs of disease. Even when they do not, however, their rugged constitutions make the success of treatment practically certain. Acting on the idea of prevention as the best cure for roup, I never add new fowls to my flock until they have been kept in quarantine from two to three weeks. Even if it is practically sure that the birds come from an uninfected flock, this is a wise precaution. They might be car rying the germs of infection which would mature later with disastrous results. If this should happen be fore they are added to the flock they can be destroyed or treated as the case may demand without danger of spreading the disease. Watch young and delicate birds very closely as they are most sus ceptible to the deadly roup germs. The same is true of fowls suffering from common cold or catarrh. The throat and nasal passages, being al ready sore and inflamed, are easily infected. Sick birds, no matter what the ailment, should always be iso lated. They can be much more ef fectively treated when away from the flock and they can not contam inate the healthier ones if the dis ease should prove to be contagious. Should any of your flock begin to show symptoms of roup, no time should be lost in starting measures to prevent further spread. Ail houses, pens, coops and runs should be thor oughly cleaned and sprayed with a strong solution of a good coal tar dip and disinfectant. Droppings, lit ter asd trash of every description should be removed and burned. All unnecessary equipment of every kind should be removed from houses and yards. Every piece of equipment for supplying food and water snouid be scrubbed and disinfected. All th-s. sounds like work and it :s, but me saving is decidediy worth tne work required. As the inroads of this deadly dis ease have been known to wipe out as high as 95 per cent of a flock, every owner of a poultry flock should learn t o recognize the symptoms. At first they are much like those of a simple cold or catarrh, but more fever, dullness, prostration and loss of appetite. First symptoms are a watery nasal discharge, difficult breathing with wheeze sound and constant shaking of the head to dis lodge accumulated matter. After two or three days the dis charge from the nose becomes thick er and gives off a characteristic of fensive odor. The nasal passages then become so clogged that the bird must breathe through its mouth. A dis charge will also run from the eyes. This discharge gradually becomes thicker, causing painful swellings be low or in the eye which often de stroy it. As it hardens, this dis charge may cause the eyes to be completely pasted shut and may gather in such quantities that the head is swollen to twice its normal size. Quite frequently these de posits will press down the roof of the mouth so that the fowl can not swallow. In some cases there is a canker deposit of yellowish matter on the tissues of the mouth and throat. It is easily removed, how ever, and should not be confused with a deposit of similar appearance which is a symptom of diphtheria. As soon as any fowl is known to be sick, put it at once to itself as far from the flock as possible and give it one full teaspoonful of epsom salts to remove cold and fever from I the system. If the bowels have not 1 moved by the following day, repeat | the dose. Give one roup pill night and morning. Wash the affected eyes, nose and mouth once a day with a solution made by mixing one teaspoonful of dip and" disinfectant in one quart of warm water. Souse head, eyes and all into this solution each time. Roup will often yield to treatment if caught in time, but each case must be handled individually and more detailed instructions are required than the space allowed for this article will permit. As a measure of protection for the balance of the flock, after infected birds are removed give epsom salts in a wet mash. Give one pound of epsom salts for each 100 fowls of lighter breeds or for each 75 of the heavier kinds, and repeat in one week. A saline purgative such as epsom salts is invaluable at such a time. By causing the prompt elim ination of germ-laden matter, this simple remedy may keep many a good layer on the job without in terruption. But, after all, there’s no remedy like the one quoted at the beginning of this article. I do not claim that roup and kindred diseases can not invade the premises where sanitation and other precautionary measures are always observed. I do not hesi tate to say, however, that the flock where such measures do not obtain is more liable to suffer infection. Furthermore, if the prop erly managed flock does become in fected, the damage will be much less than among fowls not so well cared for. The old maxim, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” may be well worn from much usage, but it is still as true as it ever was. (Copyright, 1929, by Dr. L. D. LeGear, V. S.)
