MAY I FIGURE WITH | WD CONCRETE WORK f| sexton] i 7 ryon, N. C I :SDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1926. sr Ways : Cotton Seed 'here are too many oil mills. The conomic ideal would be for each mill j obtain enought seed to run the jl] time, ot say at least 11 months l the year. This would necessitate reater storage facilities for seed and erhaps also better means of drying nd maintaining the quality of the aed in storage. The first seed ginned early in the ason contain so much moisture? re so green?that it is difficult for ie farmer to store them and preBiit them from heating. If they heat leir value is much lowered and ierefore the seed in most cases ust be sold as they are ginned, hat is, large quantities are forced l the market and the price is de essed. It must also be remember1 that the actual value of the seed les early in the season and conquently the mills are justified In lying less for them. Later in the ason all the mills are scrambling ir seed in order to prolong their tason's run and the competition, as oil as the greater value of the seed, icrs the prices higher. The farmer complains that the rice- is too low early in the season id the mills that it is too high the < tter part of the season, and both implaints are quite generally justled. There is much need for a betr system of storing and marketing >tton seed. YVhoh the farmer has lived the problem of efficiently mar- ^ ting cotton lint, he will have the oblem of efficiently marketing the ted awatjting solution. The oil ills will probably never do it any Jtter than the cotton merchants )lved the proble niof effieently mareting the lint for the farmer. But the mills do not solvethe problem marketing the seed for the farmer e will he compelled to do it for him>lf in the near future. Hu will do because he will be forced to, just 5 he is forced to solve the rnarketig of his lint. ? The Progressive armer. By selling mill^ to an ice-cream lant in Greensboro, one farmer in uiiford County cleared $9G last June om five cows, $104 in July from ix cows and $10S in August. He says et- profit is better than growing cotan and tobacco. Six cooperative carlot shipments f limestone have been ordered by irmers of Durham Copunty this fall. Farmers in the Hickory Mountain .jj ection of Chatham County have reeut'y purchased 22 pure bred milk ows. Dairy cow owners of Granville "ounty are cooperating now to buy heir grain feed. The first shiplent was recently placed by county sen J. H. Blackwell. \ Apples are aids to better health nd are plentiful this year. Eat more >f them, advise home economics vorkers. * Good yields of molasses are re)orted from some counties. A farm'r of Montgomery County produced 19.1 1-2 gallons of fine syrup on one ind one-half acres. * avi Different Forage Crops and Grazing With Hogs Growing forage crops and grazing them with hogs is a very desirable way to improve run-down land, according to numerous hog raisers and experiment-station workers. Practically all the fertilizing elements of the vegetation except that stored in animal bodies Is returned to the soil In the manure and litter. The only danger of Injury to the soil Is In the trampling by the antmais on neuvy ciays wwu they are wet, and this is easily avoided where a permanent sod pasture la available. Furthermore, hogs, when turned into a new field, frequently clean up a number of different kinds of weeds. They make good use of waste plants and tend to eliminate 'hem from the fields grazed.
