Corn And Pork
Again Shows Profit
A net profit of 53 cents a bushel
for 463.5 bushels of corn fed to 75
head of hogs was the returns figured
by a group of four farmers in the
Fountain community of Pitt county.
' "About February 15, four farmers
living near Fountain in Pitt county
weighed 75 hogs and placed them on
full feed in preparation to make a
co-operative carlot shipment," says
W. W. Shay, swine extension spec
ialist at State College. The demon
strations were in charge of County
farm agent E. F. Arnold of the State
College extension service and the
local vocational teacher. The hogs
were sold at various times at prices
ranging from $4.90, the top, price
on March 28, to $3.75
which was the top price one month
latet on April 28.
"During the feeding period, the
hogs gained 8,421 pounds at a feed
cost of $211.08 or an average cost
pe r animal of $2.50 a hundred
pounds. The corn was charged at
35 cents a bushel, cotton-seed meal
at $l2O a ton and fish meal at $4 2
a ton. After paying the cost of this
feed, and all transportation charges,
the hogs returned to their owners
53 cents a bushel for the 463.5
bushels of corn eaten and left sll4
worth of plant food for the labor
of feeding. Had the corn been sold
from the farms as grain, it would
have taken S7O worth of plant food
with it."
Mr. Shay says it is hard to find
profit from any kind of farm enter
prise at this time but usually corn
may be fed to hogs and return an
income much above what would have
been received had the corn been
sold as grain. In th e above case,
he says, the feeding operation paid
a 60 per cent return. Some farm
ers find it hard to sell their corn
as grain but there i 8 nearly always
a market for fat hogs, well finished
and in good condition. Cheap corn
may be converted iulu pork, the
farm program balanced, the plant
food kept on the soil and some cash
secured in the operation, he con
cludes.
Timely Questions
And Answers
~——————— 4
Q. How can I control insects and
diseases of my late cabbage and
Irish potatoes?
Ans. Potato bugs and diseases
affecting the crop can be controlled
by spraying or dusting with poisoned
Bordeaux. The first application
should be made when plants are
about three inches high and should
be repeated every, two weeks until
plants begin to die. Where no di
sease is present, dusting with cal
cium arsenate will control the bugs
For cabbage worms the arsenate of
lead Bpray or dust is recommended
and for cabbage aphids the best
remedy is a spray of 40 per cent
nicotine sulphate. Directions for
making these applications >may be
obtained from the farm agent or by
writing the Department of Entom
ology at N. C. State College.
Q. When is the best time to ap
ply a side dressing of nitrogen to
cotton?
Ans. Cotton should be side
dressed at Ihe first cultivation im
mediately following chopping. Ex
periments show that applications
made at this time are the most pro
fitable both for the plant growth
and fruiting.
Q. When is the best time to side
dress corn?
Ans. Corn should be side dressed
when it is about knee high. Appli
cations of nitrogen made when the
corn bunches to tassel will deepien
the color and increase the growth
of stover, but the yield of grain will
not be increased as much as from
earlier applications.
