Spring Calves Make
Better Beef Cattle
Beef calves dropped in the spring
have shown 36 per tent better gains
between May 1 and November 1
than similar calves dropped in the
fail, according to records of the Ag
ricultural Experiment Station at
S:ate College.
Acting on this infodnation, the
herd bull at the old Blackland Ex
periment Station at Wenona was al
lowed to run with the cows dur
ing May, June, and July. The calves
were dropped during the following
February, March, and April and
weaned in November, being kept
separate from the main herd during

the winter months.
If growers will follow this breeding
practice, they can save large sums
of money, according to Leland Case,
in charge of Extension animal hus
bandry at State College. "It is bad
practice to have calves dropped at
all times of the year," he says. "Late
sumirer and fall calving is bad for
both the cows and their off-springs.
"Usually cows that have to nurse
calves during the winter are kept in
poor condition, and the calves make
poor growth. Death losses of both
cows and calves is increased. Calves
that do not get good growth early
in life seldom develop into high
grade animals and put on gains as
they should. Spring seems to be the
most favorable calving season for
beef cattle.
"Allowing the bull to run with the
herd throughout the year is one of
the most serious faults of our beef
cattle industry."

year. If you are talking about guai
cows, about the 3,378 cows in the
Dairy fierd Improvement Associa
tion of North Carolina," the figure is
7,227 pounds. The comparison of
these two figures shows the neel for
better cows throughout the stat afd
the unlimited opportunities for milk
production. Paul F. Evans, super
intendent of the Board of Educaticr,
Davidson county, bought a cow last
year and she produced so much hilk
that he was forced to call on Coble
Dairy Products company for help in
handling the extra rrilk.
QUESTION: What about farm ma
chinery supplies for 1945?
ANSWER: Government reports
show that for the last six months
of 1944 production of farm machinery
was about 23 per cent behind sche
dule. This was due to manpower
shortages and because certain ma
terials, particularly malleable and
grey iron castings, were required for
urgent military programs. Take cul
tivators, for example. A total of a-
bout 171 thousand had been manu
factured as compared with 273 sche
duled.
QUESTION: What equipment is
needed for handling bees?
ANSWER: Beginners in beekeeping
should have a veil, long wristed
gloves, a good smoker, and a hive
tool. Proper use of smoke is an im
portant factor in bee management.
"Beginners should not attempt even
the slightest disturbance of their
bees without the use of a well-lighted
smoker," says Prof. Ross O. Stevens
of State College. "Smoke subdues
the bees and keeps them un
der control. If bees get into a fight
ing mood, they are apt to stay in
this rrood for several days or even
weeks. Therefore, it is desirable to
keep down the fighting spirit with
the proper use of smoke."
QUESTION: What is a good dis
infectant for treating barns
ANSWER: Dr. C. D. Grinnells.
Agricultural Experiment Station vet
erinarian at State College, recom
mends 1 pound of lye to 20 gallons
of water. A good spray pump is
needed and the solution should be
hot. He recommends the moistening
of the litter and woodwork, and then
the removal of litter. Walls and
ceiling should be thoroughly brush
ed. Remove all litter and about 4
inches of topsoil. Clean soil should
then be substitute! for that which
has been removed.

Some of the Many Features of the
GAINEY TOBACCO CURER
This Burner is Built to Last. 100',' heavy Cast iron construc
tion. No small or delicate parts to break, rust or burn away.
No wicks to clean and replace. Under ordinary care, will
last indefinitely.
No Open Flame in the Barn. Designed to be as nearly fire
proof as is possible to make it. It is significant that no Gainey
equipped barn has ever been destroyed by fire.
Use Your Present Wood Furnace Flues.
No Sweating. Air for burner is drawn from within barn. A
steady circulation of air is thereby maintained throughout the
barn, effectively removing all moisture, and exhausting it
through the flues and stack, to the outer air.
No "Sitting-Up" at Night. Visit your barn once or twice a
day, to check temperature. Once fuel valve is set, no further
attention is required. Burner is controlled by a small, simple
float-valved unit, conveniently located outside of barn. Tem
perature is regulated by the moving of a small lever on this
unit. After this is set, float valve automatically, regulates
flow of oil to burner. Result no extremes in temperature,
and no smoking. ,
Economical in Operation. Owing to wide differences in barn
construction and condition, and varying practices in curing,
it is impossible to give exact fuel consumption. Wide ex
perience indicates that the average barn requires from 75
to 125 gallons No. 1 fuel oil per curir). At the prevailing
price of oil, this will amount to from $7.50 to $12.50 per cur
ing.. Under any circumstances it pays big dividends to go
over your barn each year, and make it close and tight. Your
burner will operate better; you will get better cures, and you
will save money in fuel.
Because this burner will maintain an even temperature
over a long period .of time, and because theie is no danger
of sweating, a Gainey Equipped Barn will turn out barn after
barn of evenly cured, high grade leaf, which will bring a
premium on the market.
After the expense and trouble of growing a crop of fine
tobacco, you cannot afford to lower its quality by haphazard
curing methods. Solve this problem by installing a GAINEY
TOBACCO CURER NOW.
Every burner sold on a money back gurantee... Contact you
local dealer and place, your order for burners to equip your
barns without delay. Manufactured by General Foundry &
Machine Company.
