I | Farmers in all sections of the Unit. ed States will be aided materially within the next few years by the Work | planned for the new committee re. cently appointed by Secretary of Ag. | riculture Jardine, according to a . [ statement of the Research Depart, ment of the National Association of . Farm Equipment Manufacturers. This . J committee will survey the experiment, al projects being done by the vari. ous state agricultural colleges and I cp-ordinate their efforts in the fu, , ture for less duplication of effort in """farm operating equipment work. Profs. L. J. Fletcher of the University of California, F. W. Duffee ] ; of Wisconsin, H. B. Walker of Kani sas State Agricultural College, J. B. Davidson of Iowa State, R. U.

T.t.o Hpm nnttnitjfHIM I 1U JMO|i M. VAUU ist Texas. Hundreds of intensely ipril terested cotton growers, bankers ci rn and business men and their wives t is and children attended these meet- 1 in- ings, and Alabama, Georgia, the h m Carolinas and Mississippi are al- fi a- ready asking for similar field dem- c >ld onstrations to show the labor sav-\ f of ing devices that permit one man t to do the work of four or more a ie- at plowing, seeding, and cultivat- c m ing cotton. .1 ch "Texas raised over 43% of the _t :x- cotton one year, and is rapidly t il- getting ready to pass the 50% a as mark any time she gets a good t ist year. 1 I Cattle veil Profitably ' places, as over the back, the loins, 1 ribs and intestines. This is Nature's t way. A steer may be put in condition by using cottonseed meal as the concentrate. The steer must never be alt lowed to get off feed, but should be i started off on one pound of cotton> seed meal per day, supplemented by all the roughage he will consume. ? Prof. Curtis points out that cattle e j have four stomachs and, if they are to j get everything out of their feed, theje h j must be a sufficient amount of roughj age to fill the paunch reasonably full each day. Prof. Curtis suggests that one pound r of cottonseed meal be used with five 5 pounds of hulls or more to start with, i- Gradually increase this amount of r. cotjonseed meal during a thirty-day t- period until each animal is getting one pound of the meal to each 100 o | pounds of live weight. This can eas i-1 ily be figured out and the increase >f | made gradually about two or three o J times each week until the full amount e j is being fed.

The farm equipment manufacturers are represented by G. W. Iver son of Indiana, H. C. Lisle of Michigan, R. B. Lourie of Illinois, D. McDonald, Jr., of Kentucky, J. C. Myers of Ohio, W. L. Weintz of Illinois, and Arnold P. Yerkes of Chicago. President F. A. Wirt of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers is also included on the committee. Spray the Hen Roosts. Egg profits from hens in winter depend largely on sunshine and sanitary quarters in which no vermin are harbored, says the Research Department of the National Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers. Not only . should the poultry houses be dry at , all times, but they should be warm. Whitewashing the houses occasional- < ly in warm weather will help, but a hand or knapsack sprayer should be used at last once" a week to spray the roosts, nests and floors to kill all insect enemies. C. D. Basemore of Bertie county tound that one variety of corn in a, test made for County Agent B. E. Cirant yielded at the rate of 117 bushels per acre. Eight varieties were tested and there was a difference of 28 bushels between the highest and lowest yielding varieties. < ___ 1 T ex as w !

There are two reasons for this, says the Research Dapartment of the National Association of _Farm Equipment Manufacturers in pointing out the error of some public officials and editorial writers who have assumd that "farm implements were protected." In the first place, American farmers have always led the world in adopting equipment that saves time and labor. In the second place, American manufacturers have stanaaraizeu auu maumaciui a ou | cheaply and the local dealers have furnished such an efficient service at such a low margin of profit that no outside machines can export and meet thi low prices. Tom Tarheel says his farm seems to have more dignity as a business enterprise since he gave it a name. " T ' i A7"' I - p y.r-. ; , ' ?5 ' ' *. POLK COUNTY NEW8. * ( ; ' .-t .

C. ? When the bad ra weather comes, the pets arb allowed pa In the house and then come fleas. In th i few days the house is overrun with pe the pests and discomfort results. ar Dr. Z. P. Metcalf, professor of en- an tomology at State College, outlines le: the life history of the flea by point- di ing out that the pests lay; eggs on th the animal; that eggs drop to the ot floor where they hatch into tiny th ;rubs within the week; the grubs m feed on the dust particles and form us cocoons in about another week and then the adults emerge from the co- wi 100ns within two weeks. Thus there th is a complete generation of fleas sp svery five or six weeks. As each fe- ti| [nale lays several hundred eggs, it is th 10 wonder that the house i& quickly th iverrun with the pests. in But Dr. Metcalf says there is hope, th The same chemical, P-benzCne, that j th is used successfully in killing peach ch :ree borers, can be used on the fleas, as Treat the pets by placing them in a fi< 75,884 Miles U. S. Highways. th The system of roads aggregating or 15,884 miles that has just been desgnated as United States Highways th represents the greatest highway tr' :raffic system ever built, according to :he National Association of Farm Cc Equipment Manufacturers!. The na:ion is only eginning to realike what i system of hard roads, open sum- tii ner and winter to through i traffic, Af neans to the nation. . Many states ed ire discovering that they are paying fe for hard roads whether they get them A; ir not, and the price is higher if they er ion't have them than if they do. su \n illustration is the hog market, vi A'hich annually has a "mud curve" a caused by an interruption in the de- go livery of hogs to market when the go lottom goes out of the roads with de the spring thaw. In states where the in farmers can get to hard roads and de- pe liver, they get this "muddy roads pre- so mium " on the hog market at the expense of the states where the farm- pu ers are stuck in mud. Othelr farm di products have similar problems that Su are affected by ability to market any m time in the year. Tractorized con- je struction jobs have tremendously th speeded up road construction, and the th chug-chug of the gas engines as they w mix the concrete, ppump the water fa to and from the job, adds a note to ra the tune that is being heard on more th road building lobs every month of the construction season. jj( ' as he Pecan Tree Serves Pour-Fold c0 Raleigh, N. C. ? Few people in br North Carolina are able to plant trees commercially, to finance the ( plant- ju ings, or to properly care for the trees until they begin to bear; but, tu every home in North Carolina f. may to h^ve a itew trees planted about It. SK According to W. A. Radspinner, Po- 8l] mologist for the department of hortl- ai culture at State College, there are four main advantages of planting pecans near the house which make this the most valuable tree to plant under such conditions: First, the pecan has a very dense N foliage and a wide spread, making it ^ perhaps the South'B best deciduous t0 shade tree. nl Second, the pecan is perhaps our most beautiful tree, adding as much la beauty as any other tree in landscaplno> thn V? om o 4"b iuc uurnvi Third, the pecan is the only shade ai tree supplying a nice food, that the c( whole family can enjoy as a luxury hl and delicacy during winter.

This at ' 1.25 per .hundred would approbate annually the stupendous nount of $77,399,686. However, a cheerful note rings trough this tale of economic loss to nation. The same report shows 1924 increase of 108 pounds of ilk per cow over 1923 production, educting this from the figure preously given, leaves a loss through aste of only $13,607,325, a mere igatelle, compared with our naonal debt of more than twenty bilins of dollars. The Increased-yield per cow is due heightened efficiency on the farm; id future years promise even eater increases. Dairymen have discovered the fu[ity of feeding non-paying members ! their milk herds. They have arned that losses lurk in insanitary ilk production. They have disivered the advantages tifat lie in (ratting the bacteria that hide in iclean stables, undipped, un ushed flanks and udders of milk >ws and unsterilized utensils. As me goes on, the unavoidable waste ' milk will be more than offset by telligent feeding, complete sanitaon and more efficient herd manageent. j as Are Close Behind 1 ,ther tight container, put a newsiper on the floor of the box, place e crystals of P-benzene oh this pa r and close the box tightly for about i hour.

Establishing a division of co-oVera?e marketing in the Department of jriculfeure will be variously regardby millions of our farmers. Conrences between the Secretary of ?riculturfe and many of the co-opative leaders are said to have reIt ed in> harmonizing conflicting ews, but there are still remaining number of farmers who will fear vernment control, believing that vernment at any time may fall un r the domination of those ^ busess interests whose prosperity?dends on exploiting the tiller of the 11. Secretary Jardine has not yet made iblic how he proposes to define the ities of the new department. The ipposition is that the new departent will aim to co-operate with the aders of I co-operative selling rather an majnage and direct policies. Also ere is I indication (hat the chief aim ill be to solve the problem of the rmer by co-operative sales at home ther than by an effort to stimulate e exportation of surplus.
