THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1930 interesting facts for FARMERS mr “ ♦ “ timely hints on GROWING CROPS. |Vews of the Week on Chatham County Farms <ft T E. Clark, Pittsboro RFD 2, C. M Cove rt, Siler City, RFD 5, and £ flair Vestal, Staley, RFD, are feeding 1 out some 30 heads of -for the early March market, or earlier. These hogs, fed accord • to the Shay method, are netting their owners economical gains and furnishing the highest market for home-grown Three more Chatham farmers ex pect to feed out h-ogs according to the above method, starting within the next two weeks. They are Mr. \V H. Ferguson, Pittsboro, RFD 2, jyjr. R. B. Farrar, Aipex, RFD 3, Alfred Straughan, Siller City, RFD 4. * * # Records obtained from farmers in the county who are entered in the Chatham County Corn contest are showing one thing very clearly; that is, that a leguminous crop such a? lespedeza, red clover, soy beans, etc., turned under in the soil pre ceeding a corn crop doubles and trebles the yield of corn over that of land that does not have a legumnious crop turned under while all records have not been obtained yet, we have obtained enough to show that the limiting factor in the yield of corn in this county is the lack of 'leguminous organic matter in the soil. One record ob tained shows that a crop of les pedeza turned under in the soil actually tripled the yield of corn over fields not having lespedeza turned under. • * » It is apparent that poor crop conditions brought about by the drought in Virginia and other sec tions have not- been exaggerated. Last week, on a trip to Orange, Virginia, to Ibuy cattle, we saw orchard after orchard where trees had dried, the leaves turning brown previously to frost. Pastures had been dry since the first of July, corn was dried up, one farmer as suring us that the average yieild in his county would not be over a bushel to the acre. About all of the roughage available was dry corn stalks and fodder; this w r as being fed in the pastures and can not possibly last through the winter. Apples are tough, dry and slhriveled. Cattle -were in 'bad order, and much feed will have to be bought to cany them thruogh the winter. TIMELY CHATHAM COUNTY FARM TOPICS Chatham farmers who are short of corn should seed barley this fall by all means. Bearless barley practically substitutes pound for pound for com in feeding value and in addition wil yield slightly more on the same land per acre. It can be seeded from now through al most to the middle of December, but of course earliel seedings give best results. The biggest objection to beard less barley in this county has been its habit of shattering. The heads are also britfc e and -if cot too late, break off. However, if barley is cut slightly on the green order (for grain) this shattering and breaking of the heads will be avoided. As a general rule, Barley should be cut just as the heads are> turning brown but while the stems are still green. * * • Pastures heavily this all probobility not come out heavily summer and fall, and many will! ih next year. There old pastures Should be reseeded in Lespedeza, orchard grass, red top, blue grass, alsike clover and tall meadow oat grass in the late winter or early spring. * * * Lespedeza is doubling the yiefd of corn in this county. Prepare to sow as much of your 1932 corn land in Lespedeza as possible. * * * DID YOU KNOW THAT— In Ohio, pasture tests last year showed that land that had been treated with iSodium Nitrate pro duced 179 pounds of beef per acre while adjoining plots not fertilized and grazed produced only 98 pounds of beef per acre. * * + Korean Lespedeza is becoming a favorite with Missouri farmers and others in the southern end of the corn belt. In that section, it seems to Jbe especially suited to thin uplands where red clover is unsatisfoctory or cannot be grown at all. On fertile soils it will not successfully compete with red clover. * * * When 725 cost and production records on 10 acre corn fields were summarized in Ohio it was found that the cost for a bushel when the yield was 60 -bushels per acre was 38 cents. When the yield went to 100 bu, the cost per bushel dropped to 26 cents. The record* extended over a period of nine years. Deep plowing seems to induce higher yields. The average for all crops showed three cultivations. * * * Mr. Charles Covert promnient tanner on Siler City RFD 5, has eight fine pigs that he started! on feed according to the Shay method week 'before last. There pigs when started on feed, weighed an average of 54 pounds each at eleven weeks of age, and were in good, healthy condition. Mr. Covert gives as the reason for their unusual thriftiness, the fact that they have been run ting on Lespedeza pasture all sum mer and fall. * * * GOOD CROP OF CORN AND ROUGHAGE We made 440 bushels of corn and twenty-five wagon loads of | ■■ 1 Farm News f* Edited hy H. C. SHIVER, County A*t vA I 111 — M ,l„| „ good soy bean hay on our place this year,” stated Mr. W. E. Hart of Siler City, RFD 5, recently. Mr. Hart expects to milk eight to ten cows this winter and will find that hia soy ibean hay and corn crop iwfljl go a long ways toword bring ing him in good profits on his cows. } j * * * EASTERN CHATHAM COUNTY FARMERS WILL FEED LARGE NUMBER OF PIGS Mir. R. B. Farrar, Apex RFD 3, has twenty fine pigs ready to start cut on feed as a cooperative hog feeding project. Mr. Farrar intends to use a self feeder. Over 500 bushels of corn is being produced on tliis farm this, year which will find a good market in pork next spring;. i's ' i * * * CHATHAM FARMER IN THE MARKET FOR THRIFTY YOUNG PIGS FOR FEEDERS Mr. J. N. Dark, Sdler City, RFD, is anxious to feed out some hogs this fall and winter and would like to get about sixteen eight to twelve week old pigs. Mr. Dark intends to sell his surplus corn through his hogs this year. * * * CORN fFOLEOWING LESPEDEZA TRIPLES OTHER CORN IN YIELD ouo puß oaij b ‘x CLIH When T. A. Thompson, Bynum, arce field of Lespedeza last spring, limed and fertilized it at the rate of 400 pounds per acre of 10-4-4 he was told by his colored ten ant that the land would not pro duce ten bushels of corn. This had been the poorest field on the farm, but was seeded in lespedeza in 1928, and a two year old sod turned last spring. Corn on this field only had one real good rain this year, -but in spite of this, a total of 32 banels, 160 bushels per acre was made on the five and one half acre field, an average of 30 bushels per acre. When this same land was in corn five years ago, it only made 10 bushels per acre. The tenant on 20 acres that did' not have lespede za made only 40 barre’s of corn. * * * SIDE DRESSING CORN WITH QUICKLY AVAILABLE NI TROGEN PAID THIS FARMER “Where I side dressed corn at the rate of 100 pounds Nitrate of Soda per acre, it only took four rows of corn to make a wagon load; where no Soda was used, it took six rows to make a load” state Mr. Bud Duncan, Siler City RFD, recently. * * * WILL FEED HOGS THIS WINTER A fred Straughan, son of H. J. Straughan of Siler City RFD 4, has six fine pigs that he expects to start on feed shortly. * * * PET MILK PLANTS OPEN IN DURHAM AND BURLINGTON The Pet Milk organization, na tionally known milk concern have begun operations in Duram and Burlington recently. This should mean an increased outlet for who>le milk for some of our Chatham farmers. COUNTY AGENT WILL MAIN TAIN OFFICE AT SILER CITY EVERY MONDAY For the convenience of those far mers in the western part of the county, the County Agent an nounces that he will be at the NEWS OFFICE in Siler City all day on Monday for conferences with those who wish to see him. * * * FALL FRESHENED COWS PROVE MOST PROFITABLE Increased Production and Other Ad vantages Over Spring Freshening. Cows calving in the fall, October to December produce ten per cent more milk and fifteen per cent more butterfat than cows that freshen- in the spring-—April to June —'besides other advantages according to milk pail records. Several advantages of fall freshening includes these: 1 Farmers have more time. in the winter to feed calves and give at tention to the dairy herd than in the spring and summer months when crop production require much of their time. 2 During the winter at requires , ess ’ expense for ice or refrigera tion for icooMng the milk than in spring and Summer. _ 3 Flies are less annoying to the cattle and it is easier therefore to produce a high quality product. The following facts regarding tall freshening should be of interest to ■ dairy farmers: , ' . ~ - 011 1 Cows that freshen m the fall increase their# How to some ex tent when jput on fresh pasture an the spring, which accounts for a part of the increase production of this class of cows. , , .. . . 2 The milk, cream and 'butter fat prices are usually higher an the fail and winter than in the summer, so fall freshening cows produce the bulk of the high priced product. 3 When- cows freshen in the fall they are usually strippers in the* spring and summer and require less labor in milking and carmg for them than they would if they were fresh at the rush season of farm work. 4 To have cows freshen in the fall, it is necessary to bred , them in December, November, January and February. BUY GOOD BULLS NOW Good dairy bulls can be bought gt very reasonal'be prices this year because the demand is restricted on account of the iiow value of farm products which has limited the pur chasing power of the farmer. This gives an opportunity for those farmers who are in positron to buy bulls" to make purchases of bulls for considerably more money. ( THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C. I DOINGS OF ? CHATHAM ! FARMERS I ♦ f STOCK FARMING, f POULTRY, f ETC. f • The use of a pure bred bull of good record is the cheapest and simplest way to insure the profit able production of the dairy herd ; during the next four or five years, i The purchaser now of a well selected i pure bred bull to use this fall,! November, December, January and February, will result in well bred 1 calves next fall, and in well timed freshening of the cows for most advantageous milk production. “FARM PHILOSOPHY” Only a well bred cow, properly operated through right feeding and management is a really efficient milk factory. * * * Check and double check for club sters; they earn while they learn, and learn while they earn. * * * Unprotected farm machinery this year will cry out red, rusty tears. * * * Harvest time -shows that the busi ness farmer works on careful esti mates rather than on careless guesstimates. * * * “When I bought my farm I did) not know what sublime mornings' and sunsets I was buying.”—-R. W. j Emmerson. $ , You May Pay Your Subscription with Corn The editor can use forty or fifty bushels of corn within the next year feeding his chickens.

But that does not mean anything great for this year; it simpi’y stresses the small ' ness and .lateness of last year’s crop. 1 The -ginnings up to Oct. 18, this !year, were 1889 bales, and last • year 627 bales. Cleveland led the ‘state with 41,290. Harnett leads ad joining counties with 21,059 bales, but several thousands of those came from Sampson, which is listed at 18,545, but really makes consider ably more cotton than Harnett, contributing propably 10,000 bales annually to the Harnett ginnings. The movies are again here. See advertisement. Mr. Dollar (is man aging the show again. Mrs. Mclntyre writes to discon tinue her advertisement of farm to rent, as the advertisement has done the work. A hint to the wise. Mr. R. E. Harris has won four prizes for his fine turkeys at fairs this fall. He won at -the Apex fair and at the Lee county fair. He would probably have done the same at the state (fair if costs of entry i had not been so high as to deter ! his making an exhibition. Their friends are congratulating I Mr. and Mrs. Will London upon the birth of a son. • Miss Mary Griffin, teacher in the , school for the blind at Raleigh, spent last Sunday with her brother, Mr. J. L. 'Griffin, whose condition is very serious. Dean D. B. Bryan of Wake Forest, also, came for a night a few days ago. 4 Rev. and Mrs. Geo. R. Under wood, who recently moved to San ford, were up here a few days ago. It is gratifying to know that Mr. Underwood’s health permits an oc cassional visit. A weasel made his way from 1 , the environs of the Chatham hardware store Monday afternoon and when crowded took refuge in the post office lobby, -where she was killed. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Gregory are visiting Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Duncan in Louisiana, in which state Mr. Duncan is engaged in highway con t struction. Mr. Charles Burns reports snow down his way for a few moments Monday evening. An unusual thing for these days has been reported from the Pitts ’ boro school—a girl cried because - she failed to get Aon all her sub - jects, getting one B. Chidren used to cry because of bad marks, but the fashion had about gone out. It - is fine to know that somebody stis.l , has pride in achievement. —® Guatemalan Bird The correct name for the quetzal the bird that is the emblem of Guate mala, is “resplendent trogon.” Tro gons are very delicate birds, and [ when not supplied with the proper i food wili not live.
