North Carolina farmers are devoting many of their few spare moments "the seeding of winter cover crops. 1 iys E C Blair, extension agronomist | of State College. Largely through the AAA grant I of aid program which enables grow l its' to secure certain seed without | cost at planting time, the acreage de , voted to these winter legumes and t grasses has increased steadily during ? the past few years. One of the main objectives in growing winter cover crops is to increase soil fertility, Blair explain ed. To get the maximum benefit in , soil improvement, the whole crop should be turned under at such a time and in such a manner as to al low the crop to decay in time to do the most good for the crop that fol lows. However, Blair said, many cover crops may be grazed to a limited extent, but grazing must be discon tinued in time for the crop to ma ! ture for grain or seed. If the crop i is to be used for grazing, it is essen tial that lUbe planted early enough in the fall to make a satisfactory growth before cold weather. On the average farm, the State | College agronomist pointed out, there 1 is usually a need for winter feed and an early crop of hay or grain to supplement the hay and grain crops of the fall--jtnrt past. Thertr b also a need for green feed during the winter to increase the supply of milk for the family and to graze other livestock. Winter cover crops may be used in four ways: turned under for soil : improvement; glazed for a limited time, allowed to reach the hay stage and cut for hay: grazed for a limit ed time, allowed to mature, and used for grain and seed; and grazed to their full capacity as a part of the farm feeding system. <#?

So K. N Merritt. general sales man ager of Railway Express, told an au I dience at the New York World's i Fair To illustrate the enormity of this task, he explained that the popula tion of a city the size of Baltimore or St. Louis is less than a million per son.- The food requirements for a million armed men, as estimated by a food industry expert, would come to some 855.000 tons. Included are such sizablu items as 11,250,000 chickens. 30,000,000 dozen eggs and 45,000.000 tons of onions. Actually the job is not as taxing as it appears. Mr. Merritt declared, explaining that the railroads move more than that much freight in a single day. Rail way Express carries over 150,000,000 packages a year, while the air lines, buses and railroads combined carry that many passengers every eight hours on the average. ?

When To Apply Ground Limestone To Form Lend _ ? The beat time to apply lime to the land is from three month* to one year before seeding legume*. If lime i* spread on this far ahead, it will have sufficient time to contact acid in the soil particles and counteract it. The application of lime to culti vated land should be made after plowing, and the material should be mixed with the topsoil. Little bene fit may be expected if the limestone is plowed under before being mix ed properly with the topsoil. On pas tures it is necessary only to scatter the lime on top of the sod. However, better results will be secured if it is worked in with a light harrowing Income Cash income from the sale of Am erican farm products in September and October is expected to total close to $2,000,000,000, predicts the U.
