Arey Suggests More Milk For Tar Heels North Carolinians need to drink about twice as much sweet milk as is now being produced in the State to bring them up to the national average of about 95 gallons per person. Just how can this extra milk be obtained ? John Arey, in charge of Extension Dairying at State College, says that an extra 175,000 cows can do it but at the same time he points out that not enough good roughage is being produced to feed the livestock already en the farms. More Barley Can Be Grown : With Profit Barley acreage'; in North Carolina is down one-nith this year as corn Dared with last year but vielda ner acre are up one-third, at a new rec ord of 28 bushels- per acre. Average corn yields are estimated at 23 bu shels per acre. One-third . of the crop acreage in North Carolina, or about 2Y million acre's is in corn as compared with only 32,000 acres . in barley. State College agronomisits say that many farmers can well afford to grow bar ley as a "winter corn crop" because it can be produced with less labor than corn and because it can be grown in the winter and not interfere with many farm jobs in .summer. The most important points in grow ing barley, according to the agrono mists, are preparation of a good seed bed, planting the right variety, 'good fertilization at planting, seeding at the proper time, and .topdressing on time. Barley should be seeded in the Piedmont from October 1 to 26; in the Mountains from September 20 to October 10; and in the Coastal Plain from October 10 to 30. The same seeding dates also apply to oats. Information as to the best varieties for the various sections of North Car olina may be obtained from the coun ty agents. Maximum benefits fro"m topdress ings come when they are applied so as to increase the stooling of small grains and increase the number oi heads. The number of seed heads are already determined by the level of nitrogen in February and March, and thus topdressing should be ap plied relatively early. seeding, and not aplying ' the top dressing at the right timet State Coir leare asrronomista say that one of the chief reasons for low yields is not seeding at the right time.

Arey says that , ley yieias, co percent,, i nere is, now- we need' about 450,000 tons of extra hay to feed all animals on North Car olina farms. He explains that more milk may be obtained through better breeding of dairy cows, better feeding practices, improved farm management, more feed crops and more cows. Along with this program, he suggests that Tar Heels can learn to drink more milk and make a much wider use of it in the daily diet. At present it appears that the big ever, considerable room lor iurtner improvement in these yields. Estimated yields of wheat in North Carolina this year are 18 bushels; barley, 28 bushelr; and oats, 32'4 bushels. Fifteen years of demonstra tions at the Piedmont Branch Experi ment Station at Slatesvjlle on a farm basis, and not test plots, show the following yields: wheat 31 bushels; barley, 35 bushels; and oats, 63 bu shels.
