AAA Encourages
Expansion of Farm
Storage Space
Anticipating an increasing de
ficiency in grain storage space in
many sections of the country, U.
B. Department of Agriculture of
ficials are urging farmers in
North Carolina to expand storage
facilities for all grains, it was an
nounced by W. Herbert White, of
Caswell county, member of the
■tate AAA committee.
“It now appears,” Committee
man White said, “that with
■wholesale changes in the world
tnarke'ing picture there will be
increased need for storage facil
ities On the farm.”
Even now, the Caswell farmer
added, storage space for grain is
lacking in many sections of the
country.
“Terminal space will be tight
this Fall,” he added, “and trans
portation will be available only,
for grain having pre-arranged
Storage at its destination.”
The AAA committeeman re
minded that adequate storage fa
cilities are tctessary in order
that eligible farmers may take
«dvantage of government loans
on any crop. Crops placed under
government loan must vhe stored
in bins or warehouses which meet
government specifications for safe
keeping of the commodities.
Farmers who increase farm
Storage facilities now will be
protecting their own interests a-
galnst pcssible future conditions
nifder which terminal space would
be in adequate to accommodate
crops which must be stored. Here
the committeeman cited the ex
tremely unfavorable conditions
under which Canadian wheat
farmers tried to salvage 1940-41
grain, hundreds of thousand.-; of
bushels of which ■was left in the
fields for months, exposed to the
weather because storage space
was lacking.

In three eight-hour shifts, turn
out 28,000 pounds of bread each
day.
Additional figures, compiled
upon investigation of just what
materials go into the average
eight-ounces-per-man ration, re
vealed the daily use of 18,800
pounds of flour, 520 pounds of
lard, 520 pounds of powdered
milk, 520 pounds of sugar, 330
pounds of yeast. 384 pounds of
salt, 192 pounds of malt syru.p,
and 48 pounds of vinegar. The
six huge Universal Baking Ovens
are capable of baking 600 pounds
of bread each, through every 80
minutes.
Construction of the new Quar
termaster Bakery here, which
cost $86,165. was begun on Feb

completed, with all its modern
equipment installed, the latter
part of May.
Dairy Animals Need
Training For Shows
Prof. Fred M. Haig of the
State College Animal Husbandry
Department is arnually called
upon to jud.ge d--> y cows and
other farm animaL at county,
community, and sectional frirs
and livestock shows throughout
North Carolina. The exhibition
season for livestock is not far off.
Prof. Haig herewith offers
some suggestions on fitting aad
preparing dairy animals for the
show ring, giving pointers pn
what he and other livestock judg.
es will be looking for.
“The dairy heifer, first of all,
must be taugbt to lead and stand
properly," he said. "This requires
constant daily practice and a lot
of patience on the part of the
showman.
“It is not desirable to have
dairy heifers excessively fat tor
exhibition purposes. It is neces.
sary, though, for the well-fitted
animal to carry a fair amount of
flesh. A very thin animal wtll
have little chance of winning.
The grain ration should be made
up of a mixture of such feeds; as
wheat brpn, ground oats, corn
meal and linseed oil meal. Along
with the grain ration should be
fed good quality legume hay and
' corn silage or beet pulp.
“Brushing stimulates the cir
culation of the blood and helps
to make a glo.ssy coat of h; ir. Use
a good stiff brush and brush the
animals a.s much as possible. The
show animals should be blanketed
at all times except when they are
being trained to lead. This keeps
th hair clean, makes the animal
shed out, and makes the hide
soft and pliable.
“To make the animal more at
tractive the head, neck, belly
and tail from switch to tail-head
should be clipped.”

Insufficient Lime
Cuts Crop Yield;
Insufficient use of lime is one
of the principal reasons why the
yields of many crops, in North
Carolina are as low as they are,
says Dr. J. F. Lutz, professor of
soil.3 at N. C. State College.
Practically all soils of the
Slate are acid and are deficient
in calcium and magnesium, both
of which are supplied by lime.
For this reason, it will be neces
sary to supply these elements be
fore growers can expect to in
crease their crop yields, Dr. Lutz
said.
Liming re^;uUs in many bene
fits. The. first benefit usually
coming to mind is that of correct
ing soil acidity or “sweetening”
the soil. Although this is an im
portant effect, it is no more im
portant than the actual supplying
of calcium and magnesium as
plant food!
Then, too, certain elements
which arc essential to plant
growth become rather Insoluble
at certain degrees of acidity and
liming is necessary to make some
of these soluble.
For example, in strongly acid
soils considerable iron and alum
inum are present in solntiou. If
phosphate It? applied to such
soils, it will combine with the
iron and aluminum to form an
insoluble and unavailable com
pound. Under such conditions, the
plants cannot get phosphorous.
However, lime is a corrective for
this.
Many crops such as alfalfa,
red clover, and blue grass, are
considered lime-loving crops, and
it is true that large amounts of
lime are necessary for them to
produce good growth. On the oth
er hand, lime will benefit prac
tically all other crops, although
the response is usually not as
great.
Since it is necessary to apply
lime in proper amounts, a grower
should seek the advice of his
county agent before applying the
material.
