O. A. Clapp, prominent Vveder and farmer on Siler City jjpp 2 intends to seed several in this valuable hay crop . year. Mr. Clapp has ideal soil n r alfalfa growing, as it fertile and w ;; drained, two essentials for successful alfalfa growing. f\, r the past several years, we have been recommending: White p u tch Clover as an ingredient in pasture mixtures for Chatham soils: \lr. Ira White, prominent farmer in Mr. Vernon Springs section, is dem onstrating that this valuable pasture legume can be grown on our soils. Mr. White seeded several acres in White Dutch this spring, along with Lespedeza and Red Top .and he has an excellent stand. While enroute to Bennett and Harpers Cross Roads the other day on a visit to Messrs. Emmerson Jones of Bennett and E. M. Phillips, we san some mighty good wheat. For that matter, farmers in that section believe in wheat and grow it profitably.

CHATHAM FARMERS ATTEND MEBANE SALE Whenever it becomes “nosed around” that there is to be a sale of Jersey cattle, you are mighty apt to find some Chatham farmers on hand, usually for the purpose of bidding in the best cattle to be had. Such was the case last Friday at the Mebane sale. Among the farmers from this county attending were, Messrs Geo. and Herbert Beaver of Siler City, Joe Lindley (who consigned two unusually nice heifers, to this sale) Prof. P. H.’ j Nance and Prof. Davis of Bonlee, D. H. Stinson of GolcLston, J. Lee Harmon of Moncure RFD 2, A. T. Ward and G. G. Ward of Bynum, also Mr. Nat Mann of Bynum and J. A. Woody of Pittsboro RFD 2 and others. Some very attractive cattle were sold at this sale, and both buyers and consigners were well pleased. Gus Graham Ward, Jr., of Bynum RFD 1, bought a beautiful two months old heifer consigned by R. T. Woody of Snow Camp .This heifer is a grand of Col lege Farm Puer’s Noble, a Silver Medal bull. The dam of this heifer is one of the best milkers in Ala mance. Bruce Ward of Bynum purchased an attractive young twelve month old heifer consigned by John Clark of Snow Camp. The dam of this j heifer (a young cow) is milking 30-35 pounds of milk per day with a high butterfat content. The sire of this heifer was imported to Alamance county from Tennessee and is one of the best bulls in the county. y Mr. H. H. Seagrove of Farmville purchased a pretty grey fawn year ling. combining very attractive Oxford and Raleigh breeding. Mr. G. G. Ward of Bynum RFD 1 purchased ja, bull calf consigned t<s the sale by W. Kerr Scott. r !£He sire of this calf is the Alamance Sminent, a bull whose daughters are freshening and testing high .in. the Alamance, Chatham, and Orange Cow Testing Associatio. , We feel that such purchases of. superior cattle from time to time by hoys and farmers in this county walk give us in time to come, a very superior breed of cattle and at the same time, improve the cattle that are on hand. Chatham county began improving cattle about the same time that Alamance county did. Mr. Lonnie Edwards introduced a car load of cattle into Chatham from Eastern Ohio in 1918. Since then, there has been a gradual infiltration of registered cows and bulls into Chatham fi'om Alamance and other sections until the present time. The next step in improving cattle in this county is the purchase of some real bulls. Now is a good time to buy, as the price of cattle is off and one can usually find the right sort of bull at the right price. “FARM PHILOSOPHY” If you keep anything but good cows, you are not a good dairy farmer. $ s;t Selling home grown feeds to home raised livestock means home made money. * * * Frank Farmer says; boys club work does as much good to the Dads as to the lads.” • * * How to Make Money Farming is a valuable book with many of its leaves made of legumes. $ * $ “Look long upon all beauty that you see.” —D.

The severe drought this spring will greatly reduce the quantity of hay that can be secured from the I ’ spring cutting of alfalfa, red clover, I vetch, etc. Because of this, an effort should be made by all dairy- THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO. N. C J DOINGS OF | | . CHATHAM 1 ! FARMERS I * f | STOCK FARMING, 1 POULTRY, * ETC. f men to plant a sufficient acreage of summer legume to make up for this shortage. Legume hay is speci fied because it is by far the best milk producing roughage. There are several summer legumes which do well in this state, but probably the most important of 1 them, because of its wide adapta tion to soil and climate conditions is the soy bean. Feed from this le gume is relished by dairy cattle, and experiments made on the feed ing value of the soy bean show it to be equal in value to alfalfa hay if it is cut at the right stage. For' hay, this plant should be cut when - the beans are in the milk stage, or when-the lower leaves are beginning to turn yellow. It allowed to stand longer, the stems become coarse and woody and are not eaten by dairy cattle. The two most commonly used varieties (and probably the best adapted for this county) are the Laredo and the Mammoth Yellow. With summer legumes, it often happens that one’s plans go astray on account of drought and other conditions over which the dairyman has no control. In such cases it is often necessary, to substitute a quick growing plant, such as Sudan grass in order to be sure of an adequate supply of winter roughage. Sudan grass is a drought resistant plant and can be used for summer grazing or winter hay. When planted on good land it will produce a heavy yield of hay within sixty to seventy days of the date of seeding. It can be sowed broadcast and harrowed in or drilled with a stan dard grain drill, using from fifteen to twenty pounds per acre. For hay, Sudan grass should be cut when in full bloom, or even earlier, if more than one cutting is to be made.

Over the large portion j of the state, corn or sorghum to be used for silage should be planted the later part of this month or dur-j ing the early part of June. Corn j that will produce fifty bushels 'perj acre wall make about tten tons of silage, but the average silage can not be counted upon to make more than six to eight tons per acre. Three tons is sufficient to feed the; average sized cow througfih the winter. * $ * V CUT CULTIVATION COSTS ! With a well prepared seed bed. | i cultivation costs can be materially j reduced from the beginning by the i uses of the weeder, the spike toothed , harrow or rotary hoe. In this sec- 1 tion where cotton and other crops are now coming up to a good stand, these implements can be used when j the cotton is just out of the ground. ( Clods will be broken, and the young i weeds and grass just coming up will be killed, two rows are covered ! at a time, which means about six teen to twenty acres per day. The rotary hoe is a new machine used in this work. It should more properly be called a rotary weeder. I It consists of two gangs of rotating malleable iron wheels without rims that have the ends of the spokes sharpened for penetrating. It will do less damage to plants than the, regular weeder and spike tooth 1 harrow. | It is always easier to kill grass and weeds when they are small. The use of these machines makes it possible to get over the entire crop in a short time. Subsequent, cultivation should be made with a ! two-horse cultivator. —■ What John White Thinks of Cannon —<s> — , John White is one of the biggest, Baptist preachers in the country i and has served for several years j as college president. He is now pastor of a large church in Savan nah, but many of our readers know that he is of the White’s bridge stock, and his Chatham ancestry makes his words all the more interesting to our readers. | Just to show those who don’t read ; other papers than the Record that we do not stand alone in condem ning the condoning of the outright j gambling of Bishop Cannon in the" j stock market, we quote from a I statement of Dr. White which has j been published all over the United States;. Here goes: “This is not a matter for Metho dists only—it upsets us all. It is wound keenly felt by all evangelical Christianity. It is especially a heavy blow to the cause of prohibition for which Baptists and Methodists in the south stand together in ■ close sympathy. “It is true that the enemies of i prohibition made much of the gam -1 bling incident and rejoiced that the j bishop had put such a club in their hands. This is no reason | for Christians to make nothing of it and to show no distress when the : conferences puts the club in the hands of their enemies. “There should have been way fox a great church* conference to indicate its support of Bishop I Cannon’s prohibition activities and, at the same time, to repudiate his gambling activities. The con- I ference passed resolutions, condem ning all sorts of '‘gambling, but it whitewashed the gambler. It pro nounced against a public evil in the abstract, but condoned it in the concrete. , j “I am devoted to the Metho-' I dists,” continued Dr. White; “the great Methodists of history are my patron saints. It would be im possible to discredit or embarrass the Methodist church which stands arm linked with the Baptists under j under the vast burden iof the masses of the common people of the southern states. The general conference at Dallas, however, has not helped the Methodist cause nor the cause of Christ by its refusing to assert its conscience and its i courage in the case of Bishop Can • non.” —<*> Hotdog—Why -did you stop calling on Eleanor?
