Farm Questions and Answers j I Question: I want to plant as many grazing crops as possible this year. Where can I get a graz- 1 ing schedule? Answer: Ask your county agent for a copy of War Series Bulle- , tin No. 22 or write the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh, for this publication. It tells what crops to plant, when to seed them, and during what period grazing may be expected in the Coastal Plain, Pied mont or Mountain sections. The best varieties of each crop to plant are also given. Temporary grazing -crops can? used throughout the year to furnish additional feed t along with good permanent pas tures.

Answer: Dr. D. E, Brady, in, charge of meat research at State : College, says that for each 100 pounds of pork, use 5 to 8 pounds of salt, 2 to 3 pounds of sugar, and 2 to 3 ounces of saltpeter. The mixture using the smaller amount j of salt should be applied in cold j weather. If there is danger of the ( meat temperature going above 45 degrees and where hams ar to be held for prolonged storage, it is much safer to use a higher con centration of salt. Ask your coun ty agent for Extension Circular No. 262 or write the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh, for this publication. Question: When should cattle be treated for lice? Answer: Fall is the best season ot the year to treat cattle for lice, says L. I. Case, Extension Animal Husbandman at N. C. State Col- 1 lege. The treatments are most ef fective when the animals are taken off the grass, while the weather is i still fairly warm, and before the j cattle are placed in winter quarters. This avoids getting the winter quar ters infested with the biting louse. At least two treatments, 14 o 16 days apart, should be made. * The first treatment will kill the grown lice, and the sccond will eradicate the lice that were unhatched at the time of the first treatment.
