This warning comes from Coun- j ty Agent Virgil L. Holloway, who . says that getting the right amounts ( of these two important items put on your land before or at seeding^, is one of the most important steps in insuring a high yield of high ( quality forage for several years to ? eome. j | Pastures that are not properly i established frequently have to be resceded, and this is an expensive . operation. Reseeding can almost al ways be prevented by making the j original seeding in a well pre pared, properly limed and fertil ized seed bed Mr Holloway urges ( the farmers of Haywood County not to neglect these important I items in the establishment of their j pastuivs North Carolina farmers, he con- j tinned, have at their disposal the [ services of one of the best equi|>- i ped soil testing laboratories in the United States. If soil samples are sent to this lab. lime and fertilizer requirements can he determined scientifically. in keeping with the needs of the soil of each individu al farm. Farmers of Haywood County are urged to take advantage of this free service and thereby take a big and important step toward the establishment of a high yielding, money making permanent pasture. Information tin soil sampling as well as mailing boxes and cartons can be obtained from the county agent's office or from the ASC, SC'S. or vocational agriculture teachers.

It's best to have water Cups at each stanchion. If impossible, water cows at least three times dailv winter and summer. Milk as regularly as possible. Sudden changes in time of milk ing will cause the herd to drop in production Some cows simply haven't the ability to give enough milk to make a profit, no matter how fed. As a general rule, any mature row which ran't give 300 lbs of butterfat a vear will never make much monov If thev don't pro duce after a fair trial on the Pur ina program, discard them.

Only last fall 30.000 hogs in 29 states proved Purina produced pork for only $9 80 per ewt. The pigs averaged 69 lbs at the first weighing, 119 lbs at the second. 30 days later That's an average gain of 1 2/3 lbs per head daily.

Insect And Plant Diseases Big Problem For Gardeners By KOBFKT SCHMIDT Insects and plant diseases are among the biggest problems in the ? garden at this time of the year, j It means constant spraying -with' many different chemical materials - in order to get successful control ' of the various pests. Of course ! there are many combination spray j materials on the market that will I control a variety of pests but these i are rather expensive. Still, for ' small gardens they can he recom- j mended because it simplifies the ! problem of what to Use for each individual pest as it appears. Wouldn't it be nice if we could feed some chemical to a plant which would kill any insect that fed oti that plant? Well, we do have such materials?for example: "Systox" and sodium selenate. They are called systemic poisons. These are being successfully used i to some extent on greenhouse and outdoor ornamental plants. But they must not be used on vege tables or on soils in which vege tables will be grown in the near future because they are also very i poisonous to human beings as well a' to insects. In the vegetable garden now is the time to practice sanitation, a ! thorough clean up of all plants 1 I which have matured their crops and are through for the season? (or example: heans, melons, cu cumbers, summer squash and oth ers. If these old plants are allow ! ed to remain they will carry over j many insect pests and diseases into next season. They may be plowed under or composted with a little manure and soil. This will take care of the pests i and at the same time supply much j needed organic matter for the ; | garden. Just because plants are i through producing for the season il is a mistake to let the remain i to become a breeding place for in-' scots and diseases which will give you trouble next year. Tobacco specialists report that extended dry .weather in some Piedmont and mountain counties has reduced prospective yields for both the flue cured and hurley | crop. - N.C. Grain Should Be Seeded Soon I A North Carolina farmer who "puts off" seeding grain often finds > this one had practice costs him the' profit from his crop. This is the opinion of Field j Crops Extension. Specialist George I E. Spain at North Carolina State j College, who believes that, "farm ers may be more lax in the applica tion of the principle of planting on time than in some others." Early cold spells and heaving of the soil sometimes cut young small j grain stands in half, says Spain. He believes that every effort should he made to plant grain soon enough for a good root system and plant growth to develop before these conditions arise. Experiments show j that better yields may be expected by seeding with these recommend ed dates: in me loasiai rxain. piani wneai between October 25 and November 1 10 and oats and barley between Oe-! tober 10-30. In the Piedmont, plant | wheat between October t0-30 and j oats and barley between October j 1-25. In the mountains, plant wheat ! between September 20 and October .10 and oats and barley between, September 20 and October 10 also.: Spain believes that now is the' time for farmers to plan for even higher grain yields in 1956-57. He. -ays that the application of sound principles will do much to continue the 20-vear upward rise in aver age state yields J& ' r V \ This Is the life...
