PAGE FOUR USE OF MANURE ON ALL FARMS IS IMPORTANT No Waste On Farm Is So Wanton as the Waste of Stable Manure By G. A. Card well There is no waste on the farm which is so wanton, to inexcusable, as the too common waste of stable and barnyard manure.—A. M- 1 neyck. Good farmers declare that manure should be scattered on the land fresh. Piles of manure dumped in the field leach badly. The immediate spot re ceives more plant food than it can utilize and the coarse littr spread by a fork later has lost much of its strength. In case of sheep pens, calf pens, and small feeding pens general ly, excellent results are obtained by allowing the manure to remain un der foot until spring.

For manure that must be re moved daily, as is decidedly the case in dairy barns and horse stables, it is considered advisable to sen to the field as often as a load accumulates.

JCHEVROLETS AT j | MEET OF LEGION ■# Fifty Cars To Be Furnished Convention Officials by Motor Firm . Chicago.—When the American Le gion convention gets under way here next week, leading officils of the or gnization will find at their disposal 50 special automobiles provided by 'the Chevrolet-Motor Company. 1 i The cars furnished by Chevrolet all will be Master Six Sedans finished in dark Baker blue with gold wheels and i appropriate lettering. Each car will be provided with its own driver wear ing a white uniform and sailor cap. Cars will be dispatched from a cen tral point at the call of designated Legion officials and will transport ! them to any points within reasonable limits of the city for the duration of 'the convention. I (in the doors of the cars will be the Legion seal carrying the lettering: "National Legion. Convention." Tire covers in the rear will also have the designation: "Official Legion Chev rolet." The company decided to provide I cars for the Legionnaires, officials said, following the success of a sim | ilar venture when the national con vention was held at Detroit two years ago. . I * Depluming Mite Causes Chickens to Pull Feathers • In answering the questions, What causes chickens to pull out their i feathers and how can this be cor rected,, the State College Extension Division, says: This trouble is caus ed by what is known as the depluming 'mite. The parasite burrows into the i skin of the birds and causes con siderable irritation with the result that the birds pull out the feathers, l'o destroy this mite the birds should he dipped in a solution containing 12 ounces of flowers of sulphur and 6 ounces of well-dissolved laundry i soap to each five gallons, of tepid water. Give the treatment, on a warm day and be sure the solution reaches the skin. other legumes, make the best crops for this purpose. A growth of weeds turned under before the seeds mature is beneficial to the soil. Karly plow ing of stubble before the undergrowth is taken by frost is an excellent prac tice. The green growth not only adds fertility to the soil directly, but the acids of de.'ay each the soil 'par ticles and form compounds that feed the next crop. The humus formed by live green manure benefits both clay and sand. Contradictory as the statement may seen), green manure makes clay soil warm and mellow, while it makes sandy soil cooler and more compact. There is an old Flemish Proverb to this effect: No grass, no cattle; No cattle, no manure; No manure, no crop. WANTS JUST RECEIVED: CARLOAD OF wire fencing. All sizes. Pri:e right. C. L.

(22 8t THE ENTERPRISE 'GROW PINE TREE IN HOME GARDEN Pine Seedlings Cost Only $3 a Thousand at Com mercial Nurseries With more land and more land be-i ing taken out of production by cot-j ton, wheat and tobacco growers in North Carolina and the release of poor| or marginal land to be planted to pas t-tare ©r fore&t. crops, there wilL arisel a need for seedling trees to plant on. this marginal land. "Pine seedlings to be planted o«| marginal land may be secured fromj both State and commercial nurseries, j but often the cost of only $3 a thous-j and for such seedlings prevents a per j son from securing them to planting ; on his home farm," says R. W. Grae-j ber, extension forester at State lege. "For that reason a live-at-homc ( I plan may be followed 'by growing the seedlings in the home garden. A pine seed-bed may. be prepared at Iti -1 tie cost and such a bed 4 feet wid'- 1 by 10 feet long will produce enough; seedlings to plant three or four 'of land." j Mr. Graeber believes that a project ( like this will be of interest to the , boys on the farm. To get the seed, the pine cones must be picked in the fall before they flare | open and when the keri els in tlnti cone are full, white and firm, but not i milky. Cones collected from trees j which have been cut in logging opei |at ions will save the hard work of, climbing the trees. When the cones have been secured, they may be spread , on a floor or in the sun to dry thor oughly and then beaten or raked to. ' release the seed. J When the seed are well dried, they i should be placed in a tight container j in a dry cool place. With the pos sible exception of white pine, Greber says the pine seed should be planted in the seed bed in the spring. They I ned to be lightly covered with soil. There is less wilting or damping off! when sand is used for covering. This | aslo makes it easier to keep the bed i free from weeds. The bed should be I kept moist hut not water-soaked. | The bed should be covered with j I brush or light lath frame, Graeber. ! suggests. GREAT NEED FOR COVER CROPS # Several Special Reasons for i Increase Cover Crop Acreage This Fall Add to the usual argument for er crops this fall, the fact that more i land will he released from cultiva- lion of cash crops next sgason, and I there is an additional reason for in- ( creased plantings of winter legumes . this fall. I "The usual reasons for planting | winter cover crops are that they pre vent erosion, prevent leaching of plant food from the soil, improve the land when turned under, and furnish winter grazing as well as excellent hay," says linos C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. "In ad-' jdition to tlifse excellent arguments,' there are some special rasons that will' apply this fall. Many farmers have 'plowed up a part t>( their cotton. Oth-! ers will reduce their wheat acreage and still others alive signed agree-1 ments to reduce their tobacco acre- I age next spring. There will be a movement to reduce cotton acreage in ,1934 also." | 1 Therefore, Mr. Blair repards it as unthinkable that the land so released j from production will be turned over' .to weeds and gullis. On the other hand, he points out 'that the rules of Agricultural Adjust- ( nient Administration will not allow 'the extensive planting of money crops lon these released lands. ' The logical thing to do, he says, is to plant cover crops this fall and to follow these cover crops next spring with food, feed, and oilier soil iut ; T YPE OF COTTON BETTER IN STATE Large Percentage of Crop I Is of the Long Staple Variety Now Figures secured by workers of the j | North Carolina Experiment Station I cooperating with the United States | ' Department of Agriculture for the I past five seasons show that North 1 | Carolina cotton has improved both' lln (Tide and In staple length. j "We have been obtaining data oni' ; the grade and staple of cotton in ) ! this State for five years now and have | noted an improvement each year," i | says Glenn 'R. "Smith, research eco-j I nomist at State College. "The im provement has been especially noted ' in staple length. In 1928 about 80 ' 1 percent of the crop was less than 'ls-16 of an inch in length while in 1 1 1932 only 32 percent was this short. In 1928, also about 58 percent of the cro pgraded white middling or better nd by 1932 thias had increased to 78 Iprecent. This shows a distinct im provement in both grade and staple length." While excellent harvesting seasons for the past two years have had much tR do with the improvement in grade j still the greatest factor has been the increased plantings />f improved va-! rieties, Smith says. i However, he points out that pre-j ! cautions must be taken this fall in! picking, storing and ginning cotton jor there will be a decided back-set in the quality of the cotton produced this .season. The continued rainy and L'loudy weather is already damaging 1 cotton, he says, and he points out i that the best kinner with the best ! gin cannot make the sample turn out a high grade quality if the seed cot ton contains excessive moisture. j proving crops next spring. The man I who will do this for the next two years will find that he is more nearly 1 independent of the supply merchant, fertilizer dealer, and the credit agen cie. than he has ever been before. He, will have less worry, a better farm 1 and more fertile soil, Blair says. ton la « •aday'e h* prtcee moetOoodyearecxnt IM today than a year afto.
