PROFITABLE PROJECT
The 4-H Club Yorkshire gilts
which were placed in the 4-H Pig |
Cl ain in 1955 are proving profi
table for those boys who grew them
out for brood sows. Although some
of the boys got their gilts bred
late, they arc still going to return
them a profit. Four of the gilts
have farrowed a total of 44 pig
Verlin Edwards of Route 2. Wav
nesville. certainly had good luck
with his pig crop. The gilt far
rowed 13 pigs and rafsed the en
tire litter. Even with the low hog
prices, there is a profit wi*h ..
brood sow like Verlin's
A
SUFFOLK SHEEP
Jarvis Campbell of \orth Clyde t
i< one of a few farmers who re
cently imported some pur?bred
4
Suffolk sheep into Haywood Countv
from Virginia. This Suffolk breed
has recently challenged the Hamp
shire breed for popularity in North
Carolina. The Suffolk breed has
the advantage of a clean head and
smaller heads on the lambs, mak
ing easier lambing. The Suffolk
ompares favorably with the Hamp
shire in both fleece and fleshing
ability.
SIIEEP PAYING OFF
Richard Sayies. Jr., 7th grade
?Ml Club member from Bethel, is
finding sheep a good enterprise on
their small acreage. Richard'?
father works away from home, and
Rltht.tl is triying to make their a
acres of land return an income.
Rkhard started with three ewes
this year, and after selling his lamb
cicp he purchased three more
ewes. By rotating his ewes on this I
small acreage, Richard plans to a
keep ten head. He figures bis we;
plus their small <0.2 acre allotment
Of burley tobacco will make him J
two good projects. Ricbard'.s
father explains that if he succeeds,
he will be interested In purchasing
additional land for him.

I REE TREE SEEDLINGS' ,
The 4-H Club boys in the Belthel
section are taking advantage ofi the |
free tree seedlings being offered
bv Champion Paper ar.d rtbre
Company. A total of forty 4-H
Club boys from the Bethel 4-H
Club have sent in application.? fo? I
2d.500 trees, which they will re- i
ccivc in December for planting I
eroded hillsides, cut-over timber i
lands, and other land .not suited f|jr i
agricultural crops. There are sortie i
acies of land in that section of t!pe i
county which need reforestation i
work. These scattered plantin fs !
should encourage farmers in that <
section to do a better job on pp- i

Farm Questions
QCESTION: When is the best
time to transplant my azaleas''
ANSWER: Azaleas and camellias,
like other plants, can be trans
planted any time, provided ade
quate roots and soil are taken
with the plants. However, the dor
mant season. October through
February, is the best time to move
them.
The same pullets that liave been
laying the .small and metjium eggs
in increasing quantities 'In the last
month will be laying eggs as th?
season progresses, says Clayton P.
Libeau, poultry and egg: marketing
specialist at State Col/.ege. This
means that supply a>f pullet
and medium eggs decline
slightly while the sup^^of large
eggs increases. This^change in the j
size of the eggs may be expected to
improve the price the small and
medium eggs, whilje the large eggs
may decline seasonally, 'adds I.ih

PURINA'S lO OLD COWS!
1 *?!>( thousand visiting farmers annuall* see
the "parade of 10 old cows" at Purine's Gray
Summit. Missouri, farm.
These 10 cows, ranging in age from 9 yrs. 1 mos.
to 14 yrs. 8 mos.. have produced a total of over
1.000.000 lbs. of milk. Thev're just farm cows
but the\ teach a lesson any dairy man can appreci
ate ... the value of feeding rations which maintain
the cow as well as make milk. They demonstrate
the extra vitality, calves, a.id years of production
good dry cow feeding makes possible.
Old cows produce income long after they'se
paid back the cost of raising them. The extra
'calves they produce arc valuable as replacements
or seal. Feeding cows the Purina Way helps
provide the nutrients cows need not oftlv to
produce through a?ingle lactation but to come
back sear after vear...like Purina's 10 old
cow s . . . and make money for their ow ners!
Mixed 50-50 with oofs, Purina iif
Bulky-Las makes a low-cost .y\
dry cow ration designed to f ,
help cows colve easily, breed ^ ^Wtf iexf'11 f
