State College Hints
For Farm Homes
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent
Be suer to get rotenone or some
good insecticide to fight bean bee
tles. Don't let them catch us.
What can you do to hel{j America
win the war? Here are some sugges
tions:
Fatten more pigs; grow more to
matoes; produce more poultry and
eggs; grow more yellow soybeans;
plant better home gardens; keep
some bees; plant some cane seed;
and improve the soil.
Don't complain about the sugar
shortage. Put in a crop of molasses or
get yourself a colony of bees.
Don't worry. If you can't do any
thing about the problem, forget it.
If you can, then get busy.
Don't be too critical of everything.
Do the best you can, do the most
you can, and lend a helping hand
wherever you can.
It is very important to select good
quality, comfortable shoes because
you will be riding less and walking
more. Good quality leather that will
give good service and lower heels
in women's dayitme shoes, novelties
for dress.
Brush and polish your shoes reg
ularly.
Use shoe trees to keep your shoes
in shape.
Have heels straightened and soles
repaired. Avoid scuffing.
For Jittery, nervoua headaches,
Capudine. Acts fast because it's liquid.
See how quickly head clears, nerves are

SODA SHORTAGE TURNS
FARMERS TO LEGUMES
Nitrate of soda, vital to North
Carolina farmers but even more vi
tal'to United States in the manufac
ture of munitions, may be replaced
to some extent by the growing of
more winter legumes, says E. C.
Blair, Extension agronomist of N.
C. State College.
Nitrate of soda is scarce this year
and has been placed on the ration
list by the War Production Board.
Next year, Blair said, farmers may
expect to find an even smaller sup
ply of this crop food.
At a recent series of winter le
gume field meetings, the State Col
lege agronomist explained to those
present that legumes must be al
lowed to make a heavy growth if
they are to be of value to the soil.
Such a growth is equivalent to ap
proximately?S56?pounds?of?mtrattr
of soda an acre.
The nitrogen added to the soil is
in direct proportion to the amount
of growth turned under. This is
contrary to a widespread belief,
Blair pointed out, that legumes store
up nitrogen in the root-nodules
formed by the nitrogen-gathering
bacteria. It has been shown that
these nodules are simply the points
at which the nitrogen enters the
plant, to be stored in its stalks and
leaves.
Before North Carolina farmers
can derive a maximum of good from
winter legumes, the practice of
growing seed in this State and pre
ferably on the home farm must be
learned. At the present time, most
of such seed come from the Far
West.
Balir told farmers at these field
meetings that early planting is ab
solutely necessary for best results.

Care In Milking
Means Full Pails
Along with other things, good
milk is a factor not to be overlook
ed by North Carolina dairymen in
attaining their 1942 milk goal, ex
plains John A Arey, Extension dairy
specialist of N. C. State College.
For instance, he says, many low
herd averages and individual cow
records can be Attributed to care
less, inefficient milking. The dairy
cow has a sensitive, nervous system
which reacts quickly to adverse con
ditions such as irregular milking,
rough handling, slow incomplete
milking, and sudden changes of al
mostany kind.
A practical application of the fol
lowing rules will result in a sub
stantial increase in the 1942 milk
production in this State:
Milking at the same hour with
very few minutes variation is of vi
tal importance for full and complete
p induction.
The order of milking cows in the
barn should be mapped out careful
ly. Cows that "let their milk down"
first should be milked first.
When the milking is begun, it
must progress rapidly to completion.
Four to not more than seven min
utes ca nbe occupied in the milking
process. Slow milking results in de
creased productoin. When the milk
ing is completed or if the cow stops
secreting, it is time to stop milking.
Too much stripping or prolonged
manipulation develops "strippers."

and the handler of the cows is im
portant. Fear, suspicion, and excite
ment should not be aroused.
Nothing should appear in the barn
before or during milking to detract
the cow's attention. Rough milking
should be avoided.
It is of vital importance that noth
ing be done that stimulates milk "let
down" any considerable time in ad
vance of milking.
Humin# lloneynuckle I inn
Darin# Winter Inexpennive
E .C. Blair, Extension agronomist,
says burning the honeysuckle vines
off during winter will rid ditch
banks of this plant for a yenr or lwn_
Although somewhat green, the vines
will burn. Commercial weed killers
will also destroy honeysuckles, but
may prove expensive. If ditch banks
were leveled off and cleaned so that
they"could be mowed? this would
tend to keep not only honeysuckle,
hut other weeds and hushes under
control.
