Wheat Growers To
Vote July 33 On
Marketing Quotas
On July 23, wheat growers of
Moore County will vote for or
against marketing quotas for the
1955 crop.
The re’ferendum, according to
Joe A. Caddell of the Moore
County Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee,-will
determine whether or not the
quota program now in effect will
continue for next year’s crop.
Two-thirds of those who vote
must approve quotas before they
can be put / into operation. The
current program, which was vot
ed on a year ago, was approved
by 90 per cent of the North Caro
lina voters—2,798 to 316.
Mr. Caddell urges every eligible
wheat grower in Moore County to
vote. A producer is eligible to
vote if he will have more than 15
acres of wheat on his farm for
harvest in 1955. In other words,
he can vote if he would be affect
ed directly by quotas, which ap
ply only to farms with more thart
15 acres of wheat.
If quotas are approved, there
will be marketing penalties on
any, “excess” wheat — produced
outside the acreage allotment —
and the full level of price support
authorized for 1955 will be avail
able for those who comply with
their allotments. If quotas are
not approved, there will be no
quotas or marketing penalties, and
price support for those who stay
within their allotments will be at
50 percent of parity.
Farm allotment notices, as weU
as an explanatory leaflet giving
the essential facts of the 1955 pro
gram, have been sent otit to
Moore County wheat growers of
record.
Voting places in the county had
not yet been set this week.

Farm Agents Give Advice On Pastures,
Cattle, Poultry in Summer Bulletin
PAGE THIRTEEN
E. H. Garrison, Jr., coxmty
farm agent, and his assistants, F.
D. Allen and John A. Dinan, this
week sent out to farmers of the
county notes on timely supper
topics.
Included were items about al
falfa, pastures, control of house
flies, breeding sheep and care of
poultry in hot weather.
Portions of the letter follow:
Alfalfa
StiU the greatest of all hay
crops. About the only hay crop
deep rooted enough to stand the
dry hot weather. Yields about 3
tons hay per acre each year. Have
soil 'samples taken now. Get your
lime and be ready for seeding in
September.
Pasture
Don’t over-look seeding pas
ture this fall. Get soil samples
now. Hogs On pasture will maTre
you money most any time—a nice
source of additional income. Be
sure your hogs have plenty of
shade and fresh water to drink
.during the summer months, plus
a mineral mixture to get maxi
mum weight gains. A small pas-1
ture will support a good milk j
cow. Milk is nature’s most nearly
perfect food. Each child needs
a quart of milk each day. Are
you being' fair to your family?
FUes
Are house flies a problem? Try
the new powder, Malathion.
Sheep
This is the proper time of the
year to breed your ewes; so have
your flock in good condition.
Take the ram out of the flock late
in August and keep him separa
ted from the ewes. Drench the
flock with phenothiazine to con
trol stomach worms.
Dairy Caffle
Cull out aU low-producing cows
that you possibly can. Low pro
ducers lose you money yet they
require the same care and feed
as high producers. Remember
Artificial Breeding is a sure and
positive way to improve your
herd so take advantage of this
service which is available to yO'U.
Poullry
Keep your broiler houses as
cool as possible. Sprinklers used
on roof will reduce temperature
10 to 15 per cent inside the house
on hot days. Ventilate your house
from all angles with your ridge
row ventilator.
Broiler houses must be kept
dry in hot weather. Disease germs
multiply much faster in hot
weather. Coccidiosis will not
thrive in a dry house so your best
control is to have dry litter. ^
Fresh drinking water is very
important in hO't weather. On a
hot day, each chick will drink 5
times more water than they will
eat feed. You should have. 3 or 4
6-ft. automatic waterefs for each
1,000 broilers in the house. Feed
ers should be avajlable to birds at
all times. When you have the
early morning rush on the feed
ers, all the birds should be able
to eat at the sanre time. Three
inches of feeder space should be
supplied for eachi Jjird. Don’t
overcrowd.
.One square foot of floor space'
should be allowed for each chick
placed in your broiler house. Too
many chicks in your house cause
trouble. Market your birds when
they average 3 pounds. When you
feed an extra week to get a 3 and
1-2 lb. average, you lose money
usually unless the price of heav
ier birds is 2 to 4 cents per pound
higher than the light 3-pound
average birls.
