PASQUOTANK HAS MODEL STOCK FARM HAS BEGUN NOW TO RAISE SHEEP Cattle and Hogs Have for ? Some Time Been Raised on Scientific Basis and Big Scale by J. W. Foreman. An example of what can bo ac complished in this section in stock . raiding may bo found at the Fore man Stock Farm. On this farm 200 head of cattle, 200 head of hogs and. about 70 head of sheep as well as ; the mules which work the crops ar-l supported almost entirely on home grown crops. Two silos, each with a capacity of ; 250 tons and among the few silos in this section, serve green feed all! winter. Corn fodder Is used for en silage almost entirely, but stock pea' hay is sometimes mixed with the , corn. In addition to the ensilage the cat tle are fed cotton seed meal at the rate of about two pounds to thei! head. Perhaps the most interesting fea ture of the farm is the permanent pasture. The Foreman Stock Farm1 has the largest permanent pasture in this County and without a doubt on this side of the sound. The acre-, age is approximately 250 acres, it' hfla hfen planted fiv" yenrr nml ? ?* due -for rotation on the five-year ro tation plan. The seed planted are; carpet grass, I-espedeza. Alsac or j white clover, and some other gras?- ; es in minor Quantities. Pigs are crazed on the permanent' pasture and later are put on corn,! middlings and meat meal. A ship-., ment was recently made of six months old~pigs, many of which i weighed 125 pounds. Unlike many growers of hogs in the Southern states, the Foreman Stock Farm produces strictly haid hogs. This result is obtained, ac cording to C. E. Pritchard who op erates the farm under the manage ment of J. W. Foreman, by feeding corn while the pigs are on soy beans. They are allowed ltd ent all the corn they will take arid are not fed soy beans in great quantities. Discretion is used also ia the mar keting of the pigs each year. If. the market is good they are held and fed a rushing diet. If it is not sat isfactory they are sold. From 100 lo 200 are marketed each year. Tin farm now had 200 head of which there are about 4 5 sows. The growing of sheep is a new venture with the farm, as this was just started last year, with about 4" head. Sheep are f<>d ensilage, alfal fa hay, and young oats and vetch. J-ast year a number wore sheared and tiie wool marketed. This year the fa I'm will probably not produce much vetch, if any, as it is hard to harvest. Those who have any doubts as to the possibilities of stock raising in this County should make a visit to the Foreman farm, where the well kept fields and pastures and the sleek, fat cattle, hog^ and sheep will soon dispel any idea that the Albe marle is not adapted most favorably to stork crowing if the# prop, r meth ods are pursued. LOSS POTATOES IS EXAGGERATED Rain ami Snow Have Un doubtedly (lau?i>il Some I-osses lint Cooler Heads Believe Damage Not Serious Cooler heads arc convinced that 1 the complaint of some growers of i heavy louses through rotting of po-" tato seed Is unwarranted and exag gerated. There has undoubtedly been some loss to growers In Pas quotank and the neighboring coun ties on account of the excessive rain, and snow of the past few weeks but the cold weather has prevented heavier losses. "I have heard right much com plaint of rotting seed potatoes." W. D. Olover said Friday afternoon. "I J hear the -samp complaint every yeari thoiiLh, and do not believe the loss- ! b* rs arp very sreat. It Is natura' for Home people to think they are hit ? harder *han they actually are.** The sweet potato seed In beds in J Currituck County has been damaged 1 to some extent, according to N. T Aydlett, who Is In touch with the situation there. He has Keen ad-j vised that a number of growers arei planninc to renew their bods ns they j think their original venture was a I failure. In the vicinity of Columbia ther-j lias been more loss than In this Im mediate vicinity. S^ed potatoes arej planted earlier there and the per-j centagp of loss has been greater. N. Howard Smith says from the I reports he has received he judges! that one-third of the seed planted i I has been ruined. There Is a strong! demand for sped potatoes from t i Columbia section, according to Mr. I Smith. "There Is no cause for alarm f :> ! this section unleni there should come i a hot sultry period," Mr. Smith sald.|| "About 75 per cent of the acreage!) has been planted but the percentage' of loss through rot has so far been J small. In my opinion." Potatoes planted on high land are I believed to he safe while those plant-1 1 ed In low. bogey spots are expected jj ' to suffer the most from the we.ti! weather, I Farm News unci Views Charles Harris of Route 3 has a new cotton and corn planter lie bought this week from W.
