April 1st Is Deadline For Sowing Legume A good slogan for North Carolina growers to adopt this year is "Save the Soil with Lespedeza." says W D. Lee, extension soil conservation ist of N. C. State College Lespedeza. he pointed out, is more nearly adapted to this purpose than any other Southern crop. In addition, there are other reasons why this excellent legume could very well be grown on every farm: 1. Lespedeza enriches the land as it prevents erosion. (A good crop of annual lespedeza plowed under helps increase the yields of cotton and corn.) 2. Lespedeza makes a good hay. (A good stand, 10 inches high, will yield as much as average peavines. Kobe, Korean and Tennessee 76, are good hay varieties.) 3 Lespedeza yields heavy amounts of seed and the seed are easily saved. Korean and sericea are cut and the seed threshed. Seed of most other lespedezas are caught in pans at tached to mowing machines. Seed that shatter from hay can be gather ed in the barn. North Carolina farmers began seeding the legume around the mid dle of February and will continue until the first of April. Lee said, in warning farmers that it will soon be too late to sow lespedeza. Seedings after the first of April may be de stroyed by dry weather. Tile State College man explained that lespedeza affords an abundance of highest quality grazing from July to November, during which time many other pasture plants are dor mant. A good stand w ill carry one animal unit per acre during the period, and often more if seasons are favorable. It is used alone and also in permanent pasture mix tures. National Defense Needs Are Listed Getting the skilled men needed for | national defense jobs continues to be one of the greatest problems of the new year for the Civil Service Commission. Thousands were ap pointed during 1940 but thousands more are going to be needed during the coming yeSr at the arsenals and navy yards and in the air service. Toolmakers, instrument makers, and machinists are especially in demand, and they are especially necessary to the national defense program. Among others also urgently needed are: Air- j craft instrument mechanics; aircraft 1 mechanics; metalsmiths (aviation); coppersmiths; lens grinders; lofts men; ordnance-men (torpedoes); shipfiUers; and ironworkers (ship- ! Carolina.. Bird - Lore The Ring-necked Pheasant This large handsome game bird is an inhabitant of the Old World which has been introduced into America, and in many sections, particularly further north, has adapted itself so well to local conditions that it has become one of the most important of the game birds. In the south it has not done so well?most of the intro ductions have been failures. It has. however, been introduced into the piedmont region of our State, par ticularly in Guilford and Randolph Counties; and it is also to be found on Bodie and Pea Islands in Dare County, although its natural habitat is the wooded region. Here its chief enemy seems to be common 'possums which have often been found de vouring its eggs. Like the common chicken it is polygamous and the spurred males fight valiantly for their harem* The pheasant is a runner by pref erence rather than a flier, but when one gets from under the feet of a sportsman it is apt to give him thb impression that a bomb-shell has burst just in front of him so sudden and powerful are the beats of its ? wings. Our American birds are said to be mainly hybrids between the Chinese Ring-neck and the English Pheasant (The English Pheasant is not native there. It is said to have been introduced into England in the days of the Romans.) The male is a very handsome bird, being coppery chestnut with a me tallic purplish or bronze tints, and it is about two and a half foot long yvith a tail a foot and a half or more in length. The female, poor thing, is simply dull brown barred with black, less than two feet in length and sports a tail only a foot long.? N C. Bird Club Ktlgeeitmbe Fanners Musi Realize Profit Of Terracing Edgecombe County farmers are j fast realizing that eroded land must j be terraced properly if it is to pro duce a profitable income, says P. 11 Jameson, assistant farm agent of the ExU'iibiun Service.?J? q :?

Th?* State College man said the estimate is based on past experience in checking cotton performance dur ing a normal growing season. A late growing season would, of course, de lay lsuanee of stamps to farmers in the areas affected Cotton stamps will be available to growers who make further vol untary reductions in their cotton i acreage this year. The stamps can he used to purchase cotton goods in local retail stores, Floyd pointed out. Farmers may earn stamps at the rate of 10 rents a pound on the normal yield of the acreage n due ed.

S. Weaver, head of the agri cultural engineering department at State College, says now is the time to get the farm machinery needed for spring and summer work in good shape. Waiting until the machine is need ? il is very poor business, he states. It takes a little while to order and obtain repair parts, and, consequent ly, this job can best be done at this season before the rush begins Weaver says every good farmer has a shop w here minor repairs to ?plow*. combines, tractors,--.-and oth er equipment can be accomplished quickly and economically. With the number of blacksmith shops in the communities diminishing, it is more and more important that the farmer make Ins repairs in Ins own- farm shop The Coming of electricity into rur al areas through cooperative lines not only provides light for dark w in tei days, but furnishes a source of power for such operations as saw ing, drilling, and grinding. The State College engineer re ports that numerous farmers make an inventory of needed, repairs to machinery at this season. They line to the acreage he intends to plant n cotton this year. up their equipment and go over it. piece by piece, with a memorandum pad and pencil in hand Each work* ing part is examined for breakage, damage, and need of sharpening. Af ter a list of all the repairs has been made, it is easy to check those w hich require the purchase of new parts, and to begin actual work on those mat can be repaired in the farm shop. 'The efficiency of a farmer," Wea ver declared, "is largely determined by the quality of tools he uses. Blunt edged tools cannot result m quality work or efficient use of labor" NOTICE or SALE Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust executed to the un dersigned Trustee h> U II Man ning and wife.
