Una J I i | ^ Yale NEW HAVEN: ... To Raymond " Ducky "'"^Pond (above) former star athlete for Old Eli, goes the job as head football coach at Yale this year. The appointment of a new football coach this year brought forth great controversy among Yale tnen. More Red Meat TVTOl n M i i uiii new i iaii Every basic crop producer has ample opportunity to provide himself and his tenants with plenty of red meat, milk, and dairy products, now that the crop adjustment program is under way, says L. I. Case, animal husbandman at State College. With the reduction of basic crops such as cotton, tobacco, corn, hogs, wheat, and the like, certain acreages must be set aside. Much of the land thus retired is suited for pasture, Case says, and should be used as such. Case advises the use of beef cows that are fairly good milkers. In this way, the landowner may be provided with all the milk and cream his family needs and at the same time be able to raise calves into good beef animals. Beef that is not consumed fresh after the slaughter can well be canned for consumption throughout the year. Beef produced 011 the acreages retired from the production of basic crops cannot be marketed, Case warned. TSi'rv orrnc r\ f rrnnH nocture *v u uv/1 vkj v/a qUUU j^/uuvua v ml v needed for each cow. A ton and a half of hay and 12 bushels of corn, or the equivalent, should also be provided for each animal. Case urged farmers to seed pasture lands where they do not already have a good stand of grasses. On loamy soils of the Coastal Plain a seed mixture of carpet grass, 10 pounds; lespedeza, 15 pounds; and dallis grass, 5 pounds, has proved good. On coarse, dry, sandy soils the following mixture is good, Bermuda 6 pounds; dallis grass, 6 pounds and lespedeza, 18 pounds. On black peaty soils blue, grass and herds grass with lespedeza are good. No Cash Crop On Withdrawn Land Dean I. O. Schaub of State College has explained the following points in regard to growing crops on land retired from cultivation under the crop reduction contracts. The contracts allow farmers to use the rented acres to grow feed, food, soil-building, or erosion prevention crops, provided none of them are offered for sale. Since the contracts also specify that the growers are not to increase any of their other salable crops when they reduce the one covered by the contract, a number of growers have gotten the idea that it will be all right to grow a cash crop on the rented acreage so long as they do not increase the , total amount of that crop. In other words, the dean said, , if a farmer heretofore has been . growing tow acres of garden truck for sale, he may grow the same amount of truck, but not on the rented acres. To do so would be a violation of i the contract, the dean emphasized. Likewise, growers cannot shift a part of their cotton crop to land re. tired from tobacco acreage or part l of their tobacco crop to land re. tired from cotton, even though the total acreage of each crop is not i increased thereby. i The contracts specify that a cer. tain amount of land is to be retired from the production of cash ? crops. The land and no other must ; be set aside as the rented acreage. 9 ' 35 35 : CITIZENS INSURANT ri G. W. Poindexter, Pres. ' j Warrentoi 5 y FIRE LIFE ] ; Insurance< I 1 Consult Us ? Insurance tfjff ?

I ' HE WARREN RECOR Says Growers Have Opportunity To Improve Land Cotton growers who participate in the acreage reiuction program have the opportur.ity of a lifetime to improve the fertility of their land by Ranting soil-building crops on the acreage retired from cotton production according to Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the State College agricultural extension service. The contract provides that the rented acres may be used for the following purposes: "Soil improvement crops, erosion preventing crops, foccl crops Jor consumption by the producer on his farm, feed crcps for livestock or livestock products for consumpti#n or use by the producer on his farm, fallowing or such other uses as may be permitted by the secretary of agricul ture." Much of the farm land in this state has been allowec to run down through lack of care tnd the growing of the same crop year after year without returning to the soil the elements taken out by the crop, the dean {jointed out. The object of enriching the soil is not to increase production, but tn on a hi a thp farmers to grow with ess labor the amount of produce he can sell profitably. Thus, they can make more net profit on their crops ancl also have more time for other purposes. Most of the legumes are advisable soil-building crops, and can also be used for feed. Among them are: lespedeza, soybeans, cowpeas, sweet clover, kudzu, velvet beans, alfalfa, vetch and crotalaria. Those best suited for spring planting are cowpeas, soybeans, velvet beans, and lespedeza. In the fall the best crops are hairy vetch, and smooth vetch. Austrian winter peas, crimson clover, and burr clover. Alfalfa should be seeded in August or September. On sandy soils crotalaria, velvet beans, hairy vetch, and smooth vetch are particularly suited. The other crops mentioned do best on a heavier type of soil. Legumes are of especial importance for their ability to utilize nitrogen from the air through bacteria contained in nodules or tubercies on their roots. The result is ? _ ? J_ _ J X . ? an increased proiein content 01 these plants which enriches the soil. irhese crops should be turned under when possible so that the full benefit of their soil-building qualities may be obtained. A vital point in enriching the soil with legumes is providing the soil with the bacteria, if it is lacking'. Legumes in soil without the proper bacteria will have to derive the: nitrogen from the soil instead of from the air and will not thrive. If no legumes have been planted on the land for some years, there is a strong possibility that bacteria is lacking and soil from land on which legumes have been grown should be liberally mixed with the legume seed before it is planted. ITie bacteria content of a soil on which legumes are growing can be determined by pulling up a legume plant and looking at the roots. If nodule are found, there is bacteria in the soil. Soybeans require their own kind of bacteria and new soil cannot be innoculated with soil from fields on which other types of legumes l ? n-n 1 ? j - _ nave ueen grown, me oaciena ior alfalfa and burr clover are interchangeable; likewise are those for crimson and white clover, those for vetches and field peas, and those for velvet beans, crolataria, cowpeas and lespedeza. The soil for innoculation purposes should be free from noxious weeds and it should be taken from the surface after the first half inch has been brushed aside. If the grower prefers, he may spread the innoculating soil on the new field at the rate of 200 to 400 pounds an acre instead of mixing it with his seed. II' part of the legumes are used for feed crops, the manure from the animals thus fed are especially rich in nitrogen and hence of great fertilizer value. Legumes also are excellent feed for growing animals and for milk and beef production. Another important step in growing legumes is for the farmers to grow their own seed. The proper amount of good seed is hard to buy from year to year. After a farmer j ir o nniiniiin nn it ft ounuino uu. | M. E. Grant, Sect'y 1, N. C.

Here baseba Herman (Bambino-Babe) Ruth on with Mrs. Ruth to the start 0/ his tw Ruth and family are now in Florida the new season. has started legume production, it should not be difficult for him to harvest his own seed, Dean Schaub brought out. Legumes also prevent erosion and may be used for this purpose as well as that of soil-building. However, if the farmers so desire, they may p:ofitably plant pasture grasses for their livestock and also control the erosion. The best time to seed grasses is in the fall, although spring seedings will be successful if the ground pedeza should be sown in the early spring. The quantity of seed needed depends upon the size of the seed, is not too wet and care is taken its purity, its germination, and how heavy a stand the grower wishes. For poor but well-drained soils a good mixture for seeding at th<* rate of 20 pounds per acre is composed of: orchard grass, 30 per cent, red top, 20 per cent; timothy 10 per cent, and lespedeza, 40 per cent. For wet or poorly drained soils a mixture of 30 per cent timothv, 50 per cent red top, and 20 per cent alsike clover sown at the rate of 15 pounds to the acre is good. Good stands of bermuda grass may be started by scattering small pieces of soil in shallow furrows at intervals of two or three feet and pressing the dirt around them witn the feet. This may be done at any time from April to August inclusive. Fruit is an important part of a well regulated diet and it would be well if growers who do not have orchards to devote part of the rented acres to fruit production, Schaul: 6aid. Apples, peaches, plums, cherries, pears, persimmons, figs strawberries, grapes and other fruits should be erown on every farm. The setting out of pecan trees along streams and by the roadside \vill serve the double purpose of providing the shade trees and producing nuts. When the fruit and nut trees begin to bear, the cotton contracts will have expired and the produce not consumed at home may be marketed, as there will be no restrictions then on the product of the acres now rented to the secretary of agriculture. There is a good need for mort farm gardens and an improvement of existing gardens, the cean said.

Gardens should be planted, if possible on level land. If sloping ground must be used, then it would be best for the growers to terrace the land to prevent washing.
