PAGE TWO — I INTERESTING FACTS FOR $ } FARMERS - ® TIMELY HINTS ON GROWING CROPS. V News of the Week on Chatham County Farms We stopped in at Mr. Tom Burke’s, prominent Goldston farmer Wednes day, and found him planting over a five-acre field of corn. This field had a heavy coat of Lesped eza turned in the fall, and early corn planted here was hurt by the drill worms. Mr. Burke stated that he intended to give Lespedeza a thorough try as a soil improving crop, as two acres of this field did hot have Lespedeza turned under, and the yield of corn here will be compared with the yield following Lespedeza. * * * While there was not very much wheat sowed last fall owing to unfavorable weather conditions, there is some good wheat showing i up in the county this spring. We | saw a field of wheat, probably 8 to 10 acres of it, on the farm of Mr. Chas. Wicker near Goldston last week. The remarkable thing about this wheat was that the field had been in wheat for the past three years. However, last year Mr. Wicker seeded Lespedeza on his -wheat in February, and turned a very heavy crop early in the fall. The field was then seeded back in wheat. Mr. Wicker states that this one year crop of Lespedeza has produced one of the finest looking crops of wheat he has ever had on this land, and this after three years of wheat hand-running. * * Twelve head of . dairy cat:le, nineteen head of goats, 20 head of sheep, four hogs , and four mules grazed a 30 acre field of Lespedeza _pn the farm of Mr. Fred Burns, j prominent farmer and merchant i of Goldston. without doing any damage to it from early j spring to late fall last year. Mr. ! gprns stated that none of this j livestock was fed last year other j, than the Lespedeza they grazedj in the pasture, and stated further' that the livestock gained steadily in 1 weight while on this pasture. Mr. j Burns sold front S3OO to s4oo' worth of meat from the livestock ; on this pasture last year. As a result of seeding this Les- j pedeza last yea:. Mr. Burns has a ! heavy re-seeded crop on this same ! pasture from last year, and a scat-1 1 tering of Lerpedeza all over his j farm from manure droppings from this livestock. Incidentally, this is 1 the largest single field in' one tract that we know of in Lespedeza ] in the county.

Hes ter of Goldston, in speakinkg of a bull calf he bought at a sale of registered Jersey Cattle held at Siler City in Sept. 1928. Evidently, ; Mr. Hester not only carried the calf through the winter, but made him grow as well. He is one of the best grown-out bulls we have yet seen in this county, and he is out of a heavy milking herd of Jerseys, and also out of a good bull. He combines dairy type with dairy production, and is an Eminent bred bull. Mr. Hester hopes to place this bull in some good community in the county where he is needed. CHATHAM FARMERS AGAIN LEADING IN DAIRY HERD IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION A Jersey cow owned by C. G. .and W. C. Oldham, Chatham dairy j farmers, again led the Chatham- Almance-Orange Cow Tosting Asso ciation for the month of April. This cow produuced 861 pounds of milk and 50.7 pounds of butter fat for the month of April. Mr. W. H. Ferguson’s registered Jeresy heifer that was purchased in Virginia last summer was third highest in the entire association. I This heifer produced 858 pounds f of milk and 44.2 pounds of butter. fat. I Not only did a cow in the Old ham brother’s herd lead in butter fat production for April, but their entire herd of 13 Jerseys led the j Association in butterfat production. Their herd averaged 38.3 pounds of b interfat for April. There are seven Herd Improvement Associations in North Carolina, probably em bracing some 300 farmers. The Oldham herd, with its production of 38.3 pounds of butterfat, let them all for that month. »■ MORE ABOUT THE CHATHAM COUNTY FARM TOUR with The suggestion of having a Chatham County Farm tour out ot the county this summer has been received enthusiastically by farmers with whom we have talked this matter over. Many farmers through out the county are interested in dairying and will no doubt welcome the opportunity of seeing dairy farming in older dairying sections. Then too, a number of farmers who have never been to the National Capital would like to go, and in cidentally visit points of intterest in Virginia on the way back. The County Agent is interested in hear ing from all farmers who would like to take this tour, and hopes to be able to tell them something THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO. N. C.

Prepare to handle .him safely and efficiently. j ® Pastures which are deficient in phosnhorus will pay well for tne ample addition of this fertilizer. Recent Wisconsin tests illustrate this point.
