CO-OP UME BUYING
MOVEMENT STARTED
Penrose and Little River Will
k Join Hands In Bulk
% Purchasing
.At a meeting held at the Enon
school house night, farmers
of that section voted to cooperate in
^ime buying, and nucleus of the or
*ganization work wa3 sta'rted at the
meeting.
W. L. Talley, of Penrose, was
chosen chairman of the groujS who
will take active part in the lime buy
. ing.proposition, with the following
committee members: T. G. Miller, E.
H. Jones, N. L. Ponder, L. F. Lyday,
Bates Patton. This committee will act
in conjunction with a committee from
Little River in working out details
?of the work. A meeting was held at
the Little River school house Wed
nesday night, at which the question
of cooperating with the Penrose j
farmers in the buying of lime was<
presented by Prof. J. A. Glazener. At
the time The News went to press |
there had been no report serft in re-j
garding action of the Little River j
farmers. However, it is believed that]
people of the Little River section will j
join in the movement.
It was pointed out by Prof.'
Glazener at the meeting held at Enon I
Monday night that a high grade 0f 1
lime that was suitable to this section
could be purchased at the mines for :
one dollar per ton. Added to this
would be a freight rate of $1.86, mak-j
ing the lime cost $2.86 per ton at the
station. A small fee would be charged (
for the checking out off lime to in
-dividual farmers by an agent ap
pointed by the farmers interested in
the movement, the total cost being
not more than ?3.25 per ton for
ground lime. In cases where a farmer
could take a car at c. time the price
would be some less, it is understood.
Kiln dried lime, in bags, would come
soma higher, possibly a little more
than $5 per ton.
Plans now in the making call for
the crcction of a bin or shelter house
at Penrose station, which will hold
two or more carloads. The lime can
be shipped to the association on con
signment, farmers paying for the
amount purchased at the warhouse,
and this in turn remitted to the com
pany when as much as one carload
had been sold, at which time the
company with whom the association
expects to do business will ship
another car to tai e the place of that
sold, thus keeping on hand at all
times two cars or nore in the central
bin or warehouse. i
The bulding will be a community |
proposition, farmers of the section
doing the necessary work in erection
of the house. ?
Tests were made of soils at the
meeting Monday night, showing need
of lime, or other fertilizer. These ?
tests will be made by Mr. Glazener'
from time to time, without charge to'
any farmer who desires to know the .
proper fertilizer to use on certain '
soils for any given crop. i

f LIVE STOCK TO BE TOPIC
! OF PENROSE MEETING
Farmers of the Penrose sectioi
will meet at the Enon school house
next Monday night, March 7, at 7:3C
o'clock, at which time livestock will
be topic of discussion. Prof Glazenoi
will lead the discussion, and questions
of interest to growers of the immed
iate section will be taken up, Much
interest is being shown in the meet
ing at Enon school, and the men are
taking active part in all the discus
sions entered into.
SPRAY FOR SCALE
EARLY IS ADVISED
Before new growth begins in the
orchards of North Carolina, growers
should determine the amount of scale
on their trees and give the orchards
? thorough spraying.
"Scale insects incresse at a rapid
rate and will spread over the orchards
[in large areas before any increases
are noticed if the owner is not ob
servant," says C. H. Brannon, ex
tension entomologist at State College.
"Oils are now being used widely in
scale control. This kind of spray is
very effective and should be used
without fail where scale damage Is
-severe or where the oyster shell scale
or scurfy scale "in known to occur.
Lime-sulphur has been the standard
;cale spray for years and if thorough
y applied at proper strength,
mlinary infestations may be control
led."
Good results from spraying usually
depend upon three invportant factors,
says Mr. Brannon. The proper mater
ial must be obtained; it must be prop
iily mixed, and it must, be carefully
anci thoroughly applied. A great deal
depends upon using a suitable spray
machine. Good results will not be
obtained with a broken, wcrn-out
machines.
In recent trips over the State, Mr.
Brannon has found scale to bo on the
increase in many orchards. This has
been due, he 3ays, to omitting the
scale spray or to careless work in
making the application.
Growers who wish definite informa
tion on the use of oils or lime-sulphur
may secure it from Mr. Brannon or
from the county farm agent and
agricultural teachers in each county.
LITTLE RIVER MEN
TO KEEP RECORDS
: I
Thirty Little River farmers met
in the Little River school house Fri
day evening for a 5-10 Farm plan
meeting at which time the value of
accurate form management and farm
lecords was discussed by Prof. J. A.
Glazener, county chairman of the
5-10 program; 13 of the group agreed
to keep farm records on certain crop
projects this year in order to check
the amount of man labor, horses
labor, cash, fertilizer, seed and other
items are required to raise the crop.
. John Merrill, Lum McCrary, Har
iey Merrill, Ote Shipman, Walter
Shipman agreed to keep corn records,
Vernon Gosnell, Martin Shipman and
Hamilton Shipman, tobacco records.
Amos McCall, Ilarley Merrili, Joe
Merrill, V. C. Orr, Claude Shuford
^nd A. B. McCall, potato records.
The cabbage statistics will be man
aged by Claude Shuford and Joe
Merrill while Vernon Gosnell will
check on jiogs. Prof. Glazener gave
each of them a record book, provided
by the estate whichs makes the work
less difficult and more accurate.
Several farmers brought samples
of their soil to the meeting and these
Mr. Glazener tested to find tho
amount of lime needed to raise corn
and other crops properly. The value
of applying lime to the soil was dis
cussed as was the plan for coopera
tive buying of lime for the Little
River Farms.
Prof. Glazener displayed a chart
which revealed the trend of hog
prices during the past 19 years on
eleven of the larg .-at hog markets in
the United States.
Another meeting was heid by the
Little River Farmers Wednesday
j night when the cooperative buying of
I lime in large quantities direct from
I the lime kilns was discussed care
fully.

POOR ECONOMY TO
GRIND ROUGHAGE
It is not necessary to grind the
roughages ordinarly used for live
stock feed and certainly it is poor
economy to do so with all feeds as low
in price as they are now.
"We have come in contact recently]
with much misleading propaganda in
regard to the advantages of grinding!
feeds for livestock," says L. I. Case,1
animal husbandman at State College. .
"Some of this material is finding itsi
way into the agricultural press and |
much of it is being disseminated by j
salesmen of feed grinding mill who
of course are interested in selling i
their product. I recently overheard a !
salesman who was giving a demon- :
stration of his machine say that the
grinding cf yorn stover would make
it IOC per ment digestible. Such a '
sUilcu::nt is ridiculous on its face be- :
cause corn stover at best in onlyj
about 50 per cent digestible and no
amount of grinding will make it any j
more so."
Mr. Case says no hard and fast;
rules may be laid down for every J
farm but generally speaking it does ,
not pay to grind roughages. He says j
that livestock men engaged in re-|
search at the experiment stations of
the United States ere about 100 per(
cent in agreement on this.
In feeding beef cattle where hogs
are to follow the beeves, it does not.
pay even to grind corn. Old feeders
know this by experience and the ma- 1
jority of them feed broken ear corn '
or shelled corn, says Mr. Case. About i
the same thing is true in feeding corn ]
to hogs. Numerous feeding trials'
prove conclusively that there is little i
saving in feeding ground corn to hogs |
in place of ear corn or shelled corn, i
Before a livestock man fillows him
self to be persuaded into this extra i
expense, he should get his facts from!
unbiased sources and govern his ac- ;
tior.s accordingly, says Mr. Case.
LESPEDEZA QUESTION IS j
NEXT AT RO?MAN MEETi
Lespedfzc will be topic of discus
sion at the meeting of farmer's of the
Rosman section to be held next
Tuesday night at the High school.
Much interest is being shown
throughout the county in this legume,
and it is expected that an order will
be made up at the meeting in the
Rosman Higlv school next Tuesday
night for seed to be used in that
section. ?
A committee appointed at the
meeting held this week will also make
report on its findings as to the plan
of establishing a lime station at
Rosman.
Twenty-one farmers of Nash Coun
ty will keep accurate reports of their
expense and income from 19S2 in co

GOVERNMMLOANS
SOON TO EE MADE
Though the maximum loan which
will be made to any farmer out of
the reconstruction loan fund set up
by Congress amounts to $400, it is
more likely that this amount will
average around $75. Only 50 million
dollars has been appropriated for this
fund and further money will be de
pendent upon the sale of bonds issued
for the purpose. The fund this year
is not for farmers alone in drought
areas but for all the farmers in the
United States, except In two states,
who cannot get credit locally.
"This means," says Dean I. 0.
Schaub, of State College, "that the
county committees must scrutinize
all applications vary carefully and
that further inspection of the appli
cations will be made in Washington
before any loan is approved. Then,
too, no loan will b? allowed for any
increase in cash crops. Some increases
will be allowed in truck crops grown
for home use. The farmer growing
over 10 acres of cotton and three
acres of tobacco last yes? must agree
to reduce his acreage by 35 per cent
for both crops this year and no man
who did not grow the two crops last
year will be given a loan to produce
such crops this year."
Mr. Schaub wants it carefully kept
in mind that these loans are not gifts
but must be repaid at the rate of 5
1-2 per cent interest secured by a
mortgage on the crop. The crops must
be grown according to the advice and
suggestion of the county agent.
Those farmers receiving loans last
year in drought areas will be rated
according to how (they repaid the
loans and this will, in a large measure
determine whether new loans will be
made to them this year, said Mr.
Schaub. He stated that machinery
for making the loans is being organi
zed rapidly and that as soon as the
blanks are received front Washington,
the county agents and committees
will be ready to push the applications
through.
Tfep Burke County Livestock As
sociation has agreed to aid those far
mers without hegs and other livestock
te ottain animals for a furtherance
of the live-at-home idea in the county
this y?ar.
Tobacco and cotton growers of
Harnstt County will plant more food
and feed crops this year than at any
previous time, * reports the county
agent.
Catawba County farmers are plant
ing pine trees this winter in refor
esting certain waste areas about over
the county.

LIME GREAT FOR CORN
SAYS W. L. TALLEY
W. L. Talley is one of. the lime
boosters of the county, he having
proven to his satisfaction that it
makes for greater yield at a lower
cost than other fertilizers, used alone.
Mr.. Talley says that he tried with
lime and high class fertilizer, costing
$36.00 per ton last year la adjoining
fields and got a 15 per cent better
yield from the lime soil than from
that on which he used the high grade
fertiliser, and that the lime cost was
about one fourth that of the fertilizer.
Mr. Talley wa3 present at the
farmers meeting held at Enon school
house last Thursday night, and is an
enthusiastic b?rater for the plan of
cocpsrative lime buying being advo
cated by farm leaders of the county.
Taking Mr. Talley's project as a
fcflBis, Prof. J. A. Glasener advised
that a continued use of lime would
ten<3 to cause the land to yield poorly
after the first year unless there was
added to the soil other plant foods.
Ho advised the use of legum-M along
with lime tor best results, and also
stressed the fact that phosphoric con
tent needed to be watched where ex
cessive lime was used.
