R. Collins, State College Extension agronomist. "How are we going to feed our dai ry cows, our beef cattle, and our work stock, if we can't get enough seed to plant the necessary hay crops", Col lins says. Some counties are making relative ly good yields of soybeans but the variety grown there may not be suit ed to the section where low yields wpre made this year and the seed rds On tr r Pcu!fcry Flecks P ultrymeil will find that keeping coords on the flock as to production and costs of feed anrl other supplies will give much valuable information to the grower, says C. J. Maupin, Ex tension poultry specialist at N. C. State Colloge. He points out that this is particularly necessary at this time because of the high cost of feed. "Contrary to the prevailing opin ion, demonstration flock records show that the highest average returns above feeding costs are secured on these flocks in the spring of the year when egg prices are often the lowest", re ports Maupin. Many growers ask about the feed ccst of producing a dozen eggs. The records show that this was lowest in March, April and May, when egg pro duction was higest.

He sugg.sts that every poultry man invest in a note book and keep a re cord of the number of eggs he pro duces per month and the money he takes, in, and compare this with the money he spends on his flock. O No Known Cure For Sore Shin Disease Tobacco growers in many sections of the State have confused the sone shin disease of tobacco, often called "rotten stalk", with the black shank disease and have ordered black shank resistant seed in the hope of getting resistance to sore shin, reports How ard R. Garriss, plant pathologist at N. C. State College. He says that there are no known va rieties of tobacco which are resistant to sore shin or "rotten stalk", and that growers should not order black shank resistant seed with the expectation of eettine resistance to "rotten stalk . He points out that the symtoms of the two diseases, at certain stages, are somewhat similar but that growers can distinguish between them by keeping certain facts in mind. Black shank kills roots quickly and the entire lower part of the stalk be comes blackened up to a point sever al inches above the ground. Sore shin, or rotten stalk, differs from this m that trie nase oi tne siaiit aim the roots usually remain healthy for a longer time, thus confining the dis ease primarily to a blackened section of the stalk at and for some distance above the grsund. Black shank usually kills out prac tically Ell the plants in contaminated spots in the field, while sore shin kills out scattered plants throughout the field. Stalks killed by black shank usual ly remain standing while those diseas ed with sore fnin nave a characters tic habit ef breaking near the soil line and falling over. The black shank disease is confined primarily to counties in the Old Belt and to Pitt County in the New Belt while sore shin occurs commonly throughout the entire tobacco growing area.

Tnis the 3rd day of November, 1943 i J. B. Cameron, 22-25 C. S. C. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Will feeding on turnip salad stop my chickens from laying? A. When turnip salad is fed in un limited amounts, the chickens con sume less mash and this, in turn, will cause the Hock to slump in egg pro duction, answers C. F. Parrish, poul try specialist. He recommends that not over four pounds of turnip salad be fed a flock of 100 birds in a day. Any feed that causes a decrease in the consumption of mash by the flock is likely to cause a slump in egg pro duction. Q. Will the feeding of tankage to my hogs cause an off flavor in the cured meat? A. Properly processed tankage, when fed to hogs, will in no way cause an off flavor of the meat, says Dr. D. E. Brady, specialist. The same is true for properly processed fish meal. Brady pointed out, however, that in the case of feeding fish, where there is a high oil content, that this will cause a development of an off cr ran cid flavor in the meat. Q. Would you advise the feeding of beef calves while they are nursing their dams? A. Many cattle growers arc doing this successfully, nys L. I. Case, hus bandman. Ho points out that there are two ways of doing this feeding. One is to allow the calves to run con tinuously with the eows, feeding them grain in a creep. The ether is to sep erate the calves from the cows when they are six weeks to two months old, allowing them to nurse twics daily and keeping feed before them in a bain or open shed connected with a scperate pasture that is used exclu sively by the calves.

Saving Lespedeza Seed Important For Next Year The successs of a soil conservation program on any farm depends to a large extent on farm seed production, according to J. C. Hutchinson, asst soil conservationist of the Pe.1 Dee Cape Fear S il conscvat'on district. This is especially true at the pres ent time, when the; shortage of com mercial nitrogen for use in farm fer tilizers and the necl for increased crop yields in the war program make it doubly important for farmers to produce their own nitrogen with soil building crops. During the next few weeks, farm ers in this section will be harvetnig seed of annual lespedeza and an ade quate supply of this cr- p for use in soil building rotations will go a long way toward providing the nitrogen needed for increased production' of other crops. Annual lespedeza seed can be har vested with either a combine or a seed pan. While larger yields can be ob tained with a combine, sufficient seed for heme use can be harvested on a large number of farms with a seed pan which, if necessary, can be built at home. Regardless of the method used, the important thing is to get the seed har vested so they will be available tor planting next year. 5 IT WORTH CAROLINA I5T0.t . r Today, we all owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to men and women in the uni forms of Uncle Sam's fighting forces. They're on duty today at the four corners of the earth and on all the seven seas protecting our lives and our way of life. And we mustn't overlook the splendid job that other men in the uniform of our police forces are doing. Their "zone of operation" may be North Carolina rather than North Africa, it may be the highway to the next town rather than the airways serosa the Pacific, but their job is funda mentally the same protecting us and ours. We North Carolinians can indeed be proud of our police organizations city, county or state. Most of us have few occasions to call upon the service of our police forces but that in itself is a tribute to their efficiency. They're on the job day and night, whether, we need then or not . ""'"" Some of us in the Greyhound organisa tion, because of the nature of our work, have more frequent occasion to co operate with the police than do many of our fellow citizens of North Carolina. For instance, we are in a position to see clearly how much the police of this com munity, as well as those of neighboring communities, have contributed to the safety and convenience of bus transpor tation. The aid these men have given in arranging the most practical and satis factory routes through towns and cities is typical of their skillful handling of all traffic problems. Greyhound's most important job, as we see it, is to make near and good neighbors of all the communities that our buses serve in North Carolina and we feel that the able cooperation of police forces throughout the State has made it possi ble for us to do this job with greater fliciency.
