News of the Week on

Farms
Taking into consideration the
sihort length of time in which they
jj ave had to assemble dairy herds,
the farmers on the milk route in
t’ n e vicinity of Gum Springs and
Brown’s Chapel have done excep
tionally well. The herd of Mr. Ed
Crutchfield is typical of the herds
, n this milk route. Although he
has been forced to buy practically
ail of the cows in this herd within
►he past nine months. Mr. Crutch
iield has assembbled a good herd
,f grade milk cows, and his pro
duction, considering lack of pastures
etc., is good.

The value of a good bull to a
community is often not seen until
after the bull is disposed of. One
mistake fanners make in this
county is the practice of disposing
of bulls when they become two
years of age or slightly older. Bulls
Should be kept until at least their
daughters are in milk, because we
have no way of judging a bull
until we know what his daughters
are producing. However, it only
takes a few years for the blood of
a bull to show up in the herd of
the owner and in his community.
For the past several years, Messrs
R. N. Connell and W. Z. Crews
have each owned good registered
Jersey bulls. The influence of these
bulls * in improving the cattle in
the herds in the communities in
which these bulls are kept can be
readily seen. Practicaly all of the
l'ows out of these bulls are better
producers than their dams.
“After listening to a dairy talk
by Mr. A. C. Kimrey made in my
community, I decided to stop try
ing to keep cows on “rabbit pas
tures” and sow some real grass
and clover for them”, stated Mr.
J. F. Glosson of Pittsboro RFD 2.
“Last spring, I bought a mixture
of Kentucky Blue grass, Alsike
Clover, Lespedeza, Orchard grass,
White Dutch Clover and Tall Mea
dow Oat grass and seeded it on
five acres. This was very ordinary
land, but my pasture was so suc
cessful that it kept up my cows
all of last summer and in addition,
I was forced to mow it for hay,
so rank was the growth it made.”
The County Agent visited this
pasture Tuesday of last week just
after the cows had been turned in
on it. Grass and clover was knee
high on it in places, and it was
one of the best pastures we have
ever seen.

Clarence Johnson of Pittsboro
RFD 1 is very successful in grow
ing vetch for hay and soil improve
ment. Last week we visited a seven
acre field that had been seeded in
oats and vetch last fall on his
farm. Oats did not survive the
winter, but vetch was as thick as
it could stand, and he was mowing
it for next winter’s hay crop.

Quite a number of farmers are
becoming interested in installing
hydraulic rams, and ' a number
have been installed during the past
few years. Hydraulic rams furnish
our cheapest, and at the same time,
most efficient water supply. Mr.
T. M. Clark of Pittsboro RFD 2
has been fortunate enough to
instal water in his home without
the necessity of putting in a Ram.
Mr. Clark has a spring on his
farm at an elevation slightly higher
than his home. He was able to
furnish water to his house by sim
ply putting a pipe from the spring
which runs to a tank on his house,
bringing water with a strong pres
sure. Mr. Clark also has another
spring near his house and hopes
to electrify his home by installing
a generator and a water wheel at
this spring.

Although slow, some progress in
alfalfa work in this county during
the past few years has been made.
Mr. W. Z. Crews, R. N. Connell,
N. J. Dark, W. H. White and others
have demonstrated that alfalfa can
be grown on the red soils of this
county, and we feel that the next
year or so will see more progress
made in alfalfa growing in this
county.
Failure to inoculate property,
lack of lime, poor soils, small
rates of seeding and seeding at
the wrong time are some of the
main causes for failure of alfalfa
in this county. The County Agent
hopes to have some fifty farmers
seeding alfalfa for demonstration
purposes this fall. Now is the time
to begin getting that patch of
good, red dirt near the barn or
house in shape for fall seeding
of alfalfa. The following few sug
gestions may be of help.
1. Seed in Late August or early
September, not later than SeptenH
her. , .
2. Select good, well drained, red
soil.
3. Use not less than two tons
of lime, disc in before seeding.
4. Apply not less than 400
pounds per acre of high grade
fertilizzer before seeding.
5. Work land down as fine as
possible for a good seed bed.
6. Seed alone at the rate oi
35 pounds of seed per acre.
7. If alfalfa is not growing sat
■ isfactorily in the spring, apply a

KEEP LAYING HENS
Many poultrymen are making the
mistake of disposing of hens that
are in production because of the
low prices of eggs. This is the
time of year when production is
at its peak and consequently poor
prices are expected. However, de
spite the low price, the majority
of hens make more money this
time of year than they do when
eggs are 50 cents per dozzen.
Demonstration flock figures in
volving several thousand hen show
that they made more money in
March when eggs were selling as
low as 20 cents in some sections
than they did in December when
eggs were selling at 50 cents per
dozen, because the average hen
laid only six eggs in December and
18, or three times as many in
March.

Dusting by Airplane
In 1937 about 500,000 acres of cot
ton fields were dusted with weevil
poison by airplane?. A still larger
acreage, not yet figured, was dusted
in 1928 and 1929, according to the
Yearbook of Agriculture. The cost
U no more than that of other
dm A
methods, commercial companies
do it under contract per acre, the
work is done faster, it can be done
no matter how wet and soggy the
fields are, and it is an influence in
making whole communities fight
the weevil together. When our win
ter comes, the planes and fliers are
sent to South America, and they
put in another summer season of
work down there.

BILTMORE HOUSE, ASHEVILLE
jN I 890, George W. Vanderbilt started building the finest private house in America
at Asheville on an estate of 125,000 acres. In 1895, Biltmore House, an exact
replica of a Renaissance French Chateau, was completed. It is furnished with French
furniture, Gothic cabinets, Jacobean tables and Japanese ivories.
At the time it was built nothing in America could approach it. The estate, now
consisting of 1 1,500 acres, is owned by the only child of its builder, Cornelia, who
married Hon. John Francis Amherst Cecil. It has recently been opened to public
inspection.
