Woll weevil dusting and ma
,.y demonstration held at the
of Or. Clarence Poe near Ral
; /st Monday was well attended;
• - o a number of Chatham farmers
] attended this demonstration,
-m aking on the necessity of dust-
Pr. Poe stated that in his travels
~ ;>ast summer (which covered the
cotton belt) he had occasion
- V"t-ilk to a number of farmers who
;v dusting cotton, some for the
time. Practically every farmer
vKuressed his belief in the dust
, ~n method, and their conviction
■ -w that boll weevil poisoning is ab
* duioly necessary for the economical!
--reduction of cotton. Dr. Poe stafed |
: : most of the farmers dusting with
on he came in contact on this trip
v making a bale to the acre.
Mr. B. Troy Ferguson, a former;
handle, now district agent in J
;o e of extension work in North
; nm, X. C., stated that experi- j
r r.ts conducted at the Edgecombe j
,:ion this year showed that where
•:,m was poisoned properly, $29
acre was made over where cotton
v not poisoned. This $29 was over
rd above the cost of equipment for
dusting, cost of dust and cost of
hor. These figures are as accurate
- is humanly possible to make them,
> absolute control and checks were
n. vie on these demonstrations.
Among those farmers attending
the demonstrations were Messrs.
Wade Paschal and Ernest Brewer of j
Siler City and Mr. Eugene Walden j
f Moncure. Each of them carried;
a group of his neighbors.
There were four types of dusters I
, xhibited at this demonstration, and
; seemed to do the work well. The j

* s
er, Ga., had two types of dusters, a j
two-row and a four-row duster. The j
county agent saw both of these
machines dust, and they seemed to
do the work well. They were light,
and were pulled by one mule. The
price of the aforementioned dusters
was SSO.
The Root Manufacturing Company
of Cleveland, Ohio, exhibited a two
row duster that was also very ef
ficient. . This machine was listed at
$75. The Feeney Mule-Back Dusters
manufactured by the Feeney Manu
facturing Company of Munice, Ind.,
was also shown. This machine of
course can cover more territory than
the hand guns, and seemed to do the
work very efficiently. Several types
of hand dusters were also shown. The j
mule-back dusters were listed at $35, j
while the hand guns were listed at!
j $15.00.
I In addition to the above mention
ed machines, there was one power
duster in action, that was really re-'
markable. This machine was placed
on a wagon and pulled by one mule,
j Power was furnished by a motor, and
l the dusting was done with a rotary
| tube or funnel. This machine dusted
jl2 rows at a time. For the planter
with large acreages, this machine
would seem to be especially well
adapted.
Summing up the results of this
demonstration, it would seem that
the two-row duster would be best
for the farmer planting as much as
25 acres in cotton. Acreages above
this can be well taken care of with
the four-row duster, although it is
our opinion that the two row duster
will be practical up to 40 acres. For
the farmer planting from three to
ten acres and up to 25, the saddle
guns and hand guns may be used, air
though we do not feel that the hand
gun should be used to dust over ten
acres per season, probably seven
acres would be the capacity for one
of these hand dusters. The saddle

JUNIOR CLUB NEWS
Activities of 4-H Club Members
The following named 4-H Club
members won first, second and third
places respectively in the one-acre
corn contest sponsored by the Chilean
Nitrate of Soda Educational Bureau:
first, Robert Walker Thomas, Lee
county, yield 94.4 bu. per acre; sec
ond, Forest McDougal, Lee county,
yield 78.75 bu.; third, Rufus Marion
Terry, Durham county, yield 77.5 bu.
We are sorry that only three
prizes were given. It is apparent that
the yield of 71.4 G bu. made by Clar
ence Webster of this county was
fourth. Hard luck, Clarence, your
record was good and with the num
ber of contestants in this race, fourth
place is-a record to be proud of.
BETTER COWS, MORE PROFIT
Cheaper feeds and better cows are
great needs in southern dairying, ac
cording to J. McLain, extension
dairying specialist of the U. S. de
partment of agriculture, who urges
as a first requirement that southern
farmer utilize to the fullest extent
the advantages he has for producing
legume hays and pasture grasses.
Regarding the other prime need
for better cows, Mr. McLain says:
‘‘Along with the problem of cheaper
and better feeds goes the problem
of better cows. This point is force
fully demonstrated by a tabulation
of 152,000 dairy records by the
bureau of dairy industry, comparing
butterfat production and income over
cost of feed. Cows whose records
were tabulated produced from 100 to
500 pounds of butter fat annually.
Cows producing 100 pounds of but
terfat gave an income over cost of
feed of $15.00; 150 pounds, $39.00;
200 pounds $63.00; 300 pounds,
’ $113; 350 pounds, $138; 400 pounds,
I $164; 450 pounds, $188; 500 pounds,
$214.
These figures show that for each
50 pound increase in butterfat pro
duction the income over feed cast was
raised an average of $24, and the
actual cost of the feed advanced only
SB.OO. This SB.OO more spent for
feed brought in $24 in value of prod
ucts. Figures from Tennessee dairy
herd improvement associations fur
; ther stress the value of higher pro
duction per cow. From 2,921 records
it is shown that cows producing 111
pounds butter fat did so at a feed
cost of 35 cents per pound; those
producing 206 pounds of butterfat
did so at a cost of 24 cents per
pound, and where the production was
291 pounds the feed cost per pound I
of butterfat was 21 cents. *
FARM PHILOSOPHY
Blessed is the farmer whose fields
are wrapped in a green legume over
coat this winter. *
Culling is just as important in the
woodlot as in the chicken pen or cow
barn.
Frank Farmer says: “The best in
vestment I have made in fertilizer is
the two cents I spent asking for the
North Carolina bulletins on ferti
lizers.”
There is mighty little money or
satisfaction in milking a cow that re
turns only a dollar’s worth of milk
for a dollar’s worth of feed.
It is heartening to hear a North
Carolina farmer well advanced in
years say: “We don’t get too old to
learn. Knowing how pays.”
Every community needs reading
farmers who serve as leading farm
ers towards more progressive and
profitable agriculture.
