PURCHA8ED SEEDS
Nearly all purchased manure is
full of weeds seeds. If hauled to
the farm when fresh many thousand
of weed seeds will probably be Introduced.
Purchased hay and straw
are almost certain to contain weed
seeds, and the fanner who buys
these can not expect to have a weedfree
farm. Where hay or straw Is
purchased, the only way to prevent
seeds from getting to the land is to
leave the resulting manure in a pile
or preferably in a pit for several
months before spreading.
I
The self-feeder system for hogs
which permits them to oat grain at
will either in pastures or dry lots
is becoming increasingly popular.
Some hog raisers build a crib or bin
the pasture in whieh their otn? ?
quantity of grain, to avoid hauling it I
to the hogs daily. The quantity of
grain required wilj vary with the
forage crop used. With soybeans,
cowpeas, peanuts, and velvet beans,
which are hogged off when the seed
is mature or nearly mature, less
grain wilj be needed than with green
forage such as oats, chufas, sweet
potatoes, and clover. The self feeder
amy be used safely, however,
with alj crops. Healthy hogs that
have as much feed as they will consume
give good returns for all they
eat.
The wearing qualities of pile fabrics
depend very largely upon whether
or not sufficient extra yarn has
been used to hold the pile into the
body of the frabric. It is always
well to examine such frabrics very
carefuly and note how readily the
pile can be puelled away from its
foundation.
Winter farming paid those who
tried it last year. Perhaps this is
another timely season to plant cover

SEVENTEEN OUT OF
TWENTY AGRICULTURAL
SCHOOLS GROWING
CAPONS
Seventten of the twenty t Vocational
Schools In our district are
growing capons* this year. The boys
in these schools are not worrying
ever the cheap price of fryers at
this season of the year. In fact some
of the boys are buying young cockerels
on the outside in order to
gjpw more capons. They are not
selling their young cockerels for 20
25 cenis per pound when they will
be able to get 2.50 to $4.00 each
later on. These 17 schools have on
hand at present In iheir project
work 3040 head and will have more
before the caponizing season closes.
The boys in the Troy Agricultural
Department are leading in the number
from any one school with .1150
head at present, their goal for the
seaso nbeing 1620. This is due to
the fact that these boys grew and
shipped 883 head last season which
auld for $2333.65.
10,000 to " 12,000 pounds of these
birds are already spoken for or engaged
for the coming season, and
any' surplus will be used to locate
new markets not yet supplied.
Schools in our district producing
capons at present for the coming
season are Troy, Vass, Ellegre,
Rockingham, Norwood, Stanfield.
Oakboro, Candor, Mt. Gilead, Indian
Normal, Orrum Philadelphus, Green
Creek, Forest City, Lattimore, Ellenboro,
and New London.
LIFE-GIVING AIR
Fresh air is as essential for good
health of cows, horses, hogs and other
stock as for the physical well being
of human beings. Ventilation in
barns and other buildings in which
stock are kept is just as necessary
as in homes, schools and factories.
The establishing of animals in dark,
poorly ventilated damp barns affects
their health and helps to spread
tuberculosis when the germs are
present. Clean, wholesome milk can
be had only fro)m healthy cows:
Poor ventilation also causes damp or
wet barns. In the colder sections of
'the United States unventilated banrs
are frequently found in which the
roofs and ceilings are dripping wet
with condenced moisture. This condition
results in molding of feed and
hay storied in such buildings. Proper
ventilation aids in the prevention
of spontaneous combustion in haymows
and granaries.
Left-over hominy grits may be cut
into slices and browned in butter or
other fat to make a most appetizing
dish good to serve at any meal.
The slices should be at least a half
inch thick, dipped in flour, and fried
a delicate brown on both sides. Have
the fat hot enough to form a brown
crust quickly on the grits before the
j inside soaks up the fat. Also time
the cooking so that the fried grits
can lie served as soon as they are
browned.

PEACH TREE BORERS
CONTROLLED BY CHEMICAL
RALEIGH. N. C. Sept.7?Paradichlorobenzen
is something more than
a hard name to pronounce, it's a
chemical tfcat la very valuable in
controlling borers in peach trees and
may be used effectively and efficiently
at little cost.
"Thousands of pounds of this
chemical are being used each year
to control peach tree borers," says
C. H. Brannon, extension, etomologlsts
at State College. "If the mar
terial is applied according to directions
governing its use, it will give
from 90 to 100 percent control. It
I must be applied each year regularly
and for North Carolina conditions
the date for using it is between Sep
tember 25 and October 10. This
time of application must be closely
followed if best results are to be obP-Benzene
can be used on trees
four years of age and olde r with
safety, states Mr. Bramnon. However
if the trees two and three years
of age are badly Infested, one-half
an ounce can be used with slight
injury l|.o the tree. For trees four
and five years of age, Mr. Brannon
recommends three-fourths of an
ounce to each tree and for trees
six years of age, a full ounce of the
chemical should be applied. For very
old trees with large trunks, one
ounce and a fourth should be applied.
Break the crust around the tree
and smooth off the soil with a hoe.
Get the dirst on a level above the
topomst hole made by a borer berause
P-Benzene is heavier than air
and will not penetrate borer holes
above the point of application. Mr.
Brannon states also that it is necessary
to scrape away the gum from
the trunjf and then apply the srys- *
pais in a continuous ring about an
inch from the trunk. The crystals
should not be placed too far from
the tree and none should touch the
should then be placed over the crystals
and paeked in a mound with
the back of the shovel. Tear down
the mounds in about six weeks aft
