THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 1926 OMNTERKT Dope Gathered Hei that Makes It Woi Edl nntrnADC COD DAIRYING rntrnnw . v.. ? BEFORE BUYING COWS RALEIGH, N. C.;, Sept. 2?Noland Wells of Murphy in Cherokee County has prepared for dairying before buying his cows. He has constructed his cage before catching his bird because he believes that preparedness is a good policy for going into special lines of farming. "Mr. Wells recently came Into possession of an abandoned farm on which the soil was very poor," says S. J. Kirby, extension pasture specialist at State College. "Following the advice of his county agent, R. W. Gray, Mr. Wells set about to reclaim the farm, to increase the fertility of the soil and to get ready for the dairy business. He cut the scrubby trees, the shrubs and briars. He filled up the gullies and planted part of : it to soil improving crops. Soybeans and cowpeas were used as an important part of this program." Mr. Kirby states that there are now ten acres on the farm In meadow grasses and clovers, 15 acres are in permanent pastures, one half acre in stock beets and the remainder of the 75 acres of cleared land is plated to corn and soybeans, and oats, rye and wheat followed by soybeans for ?- J A nay. me pasture is repurxeu iu uc one of the best tn the section. It has a good variety of grasses and clovers growing on land treated with ground limestone and acid phosphate before the crops were planted. All the poorer spots were covered with barnyard manure and the pasture is now grazed by a family cow with the weeds mowed periodically to keep it in condition. Tons of hay have been harvested from the meadow land and the barn is full to overflowing with several LEG A NOTICE OF SERVICE OF SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION IN SUPERIOR COURT NORTH CAROLINA, POLK COUNTY Manufacturers' Power Company a Corporation ?vs?

Mr. Gray states that most farmers go into the dairy business unprepared and therefore lose money but here is one man who is ready to produce buttorfat at a profit PAYS TO IRRIGATE SAYS THIS FARMER RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 2?A gross income of nearly nine hundred dollars from a plot of ground less than an acre in extent convinced D. G. Wilson of the Tryo community in Davidson County that It would pay him to irrigate when the seasons are dry. "Mr. Wilson is one of the successful truck growers of Davidson County," says County Agent C. A. Sheffield. "This spring while most of our truck crops such as tomatoes and early Irish potatoes were a complete failure. Mr. Wilson irrigated his land and grew on about 6-10 of an aero 210 bushels of Irish Cobbler potatoes. He sokl these on the Salisbury, Lexington and Spencer markets for an average of $2,05 per busrel netting him $430.50 on his venture." To produce this yield of potatoes, Mr. Wilson used at the rate of 1,600 pounds of a 7-5-5 fertilizer per acre and manured the land heavily before planting. Not all the plant food was used by the potatoes, reports County Agent Sheffield, and enough was left to produce a good general crop. The L NOT receivable for work done prior to the 16th day of August, 1926 will be paid to us. This 16th day of August, 1926. JNO. L and N. B.

On another third of an acres in the same field, Mr. Wilson planted out 900 Chalk's Jewel and Bonnie Best tomato plants which yielded a return of 50 cents per plant. The tomatoes were sold on the same market as the potatoes and brought in $450. This makes a total of $880.50 worth of tomatoes and potatoes form less than one acre of land, states Mr. Sheffield, and shows what any farmer near a good market can do if he takes advantage of all opportunities offered him. The good yields produced on this land were made possible by the heavy fertilization and the use of irrigation. ROOM FOR EXPANSION IN SWINE INDUSTRY RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 2?During the spring Just past, 198 farmers in North Carolina sold 2,793 head of hogs for $65,412.39. These hogs were fed according to demonstration methods and came from 15 counties of the State. "The men who grew these hogs, ?~m tcr: nnn ' will UUUUUCPO OKSll auvuipi fVl?,VWV worth thiB fall, says W. W. Shay, swine extension specialist at State College. "It they do. It will make $130,000 worth of hogs sold this year from the fifteen counties. This is about 80 cars of 70 hogs each, and there are several other counties 1 which should sell Just as many every year. It seems to me that there should be other counties which could muster 198 farmers who could raise i enough corn to feed 14 hogs to a i weight of 200 pounds and do it ' twice each year." j Mr. Shay states that the first reICES Henderson, W.

The next requisite, he states, is a funeral. "There can be no hope for permanent success fn pork production of cheap survive" he says. "These ideas must be buried deeply. When 600 men under the supervision of county agents prove with records kept on 5,000 hogs that a certain system of ?*- ? feeding hogs is sound, the man wno | refers to that system as a theory | and states that he believes there is more profit from doing it in a cheaper way, is well within his rights? let him sleep." Mr. Shay states that if the good farmers in a few more counties would take the trouble to investigate the returns from feeding corn to hogs, they too could share in the profits now being made by the group from 15 counties. ^ Business men of Ayden found that too much hay, meat and food supplies are shipped into the territory, so they have begun cooperating with the county agent to have his material produced at home. Using magnesium limestone and a winter cover crop in the peach orchard should help prevent winterkilling this season and make the trees healthy and vigorous next spring.
