Guide Helps To Show Profit Growing corn isn’t anything new to a farmer who has been in the business very long, but grow ing corn for profit is something of a mew idea to some North Carolina fan-mers. Since tractors replaced mules, the milkman ran thejfamily cow out of business and giant “egg factories’’ rendered the barnyard chicken flock economically un sound, morecom has been produc ed to sell for profit rather than for om-the-far’m use. j When the profit motive enter ed the picture, yields shot up wards to around the 180-bushel- per-acre levelon individual farms ^ and to a state averageyield of a- bout 70 bushels. Proper seed and soil selection, correct rates and placement of? fertilizer, insect and disease con trol and timely harvesting are all ingredients of growing cOrn for profit. These steps are explained in detail in a new publication by the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service entitled, “Grow ing Corn for Profit,” Circular 469. One of the relatively newer production practices covered in the pubiication is the use of pre emergence and post-emergence heitMcides to control weeds and grasses Such plant pests aa cock- lebur, morning glory and others can be controlled chemically, con tributing significantly to the farmer’s chances of achieving high yields and higher profits. The publication is available at county agricultural extension of fices. It can also beobtained by request from the Department of Agricultural Information, North Carolina State University, Ra leigh.’ Precisioii Fanning Saves Fuel % I f il Why settle for 2nd best?

I Phpe Yonr Friendly Sterchi Salesmen —Hendeison Heindon 01 Don Banett A type of cultivation which al lows farm tractors to travel at faster speeds and saves on fuel costs is being recommended by agricultural engineers at North Carolina State University. This type, of far.tiing is called shallow cultivation. J. C. Ferguson, extension agri cultural engineering specialist, says shallow <<njltivation is “pre cision farming.” It involves the plowing of one inch or less in depth. The purpose of shalow cultiva tion is to avoid pruning the root systems of plants. It can be used for most row crops although some crops are more shallow- rooted and sensitive to cultivation -than others. Shallow cultivation is especial ly recommended for cotton, corn an root crops such as Irish pota toes, sweet potatoes and peanuts. In most cases, Ferguson says, farmers cultivate to control weeds and grasses. But when they cultivate more than one inch in d^th, weed and grass seed are mov^ nearer the ground surface where they are left to germinate. Ferguson explains that appli cations of herbicides have virtual ly eliminated early cultivations. Hptvever, later deep cultivations mav damageplant root systems and throw plants into stress un- dof dry weather conditions. These practices are especially noticea ble in cotton SWEETIE PIE \ \: • tM$ NCA. T.M.

Michael Greene is club president.. ADMINISTRATOR'S NO'nCE Having qualified as adminis- Shallow cultivation does not destroy ridges on which plants may be seeded. Ferguson points out tliat this is an important fact or since ridge planting is popular for cotton, tobacco and root crops. New equipment may be neces sary for shallow cultivation. Fer guson says that farmers may cul tivate faster; therefore, speed type sweeps with low crowns are necessary. Two positions of the sweeps help determine the tractor speed. These position s are lateral spac ing and pitch. Lateral spacing refers to moving sweeps nearer or farther away from the plants. Pitch is the degree to which the sweeps set up on the point. trator for the estate of Theodore Edward Moss, deceased, all per sons having claims against said estate will please file same with the undersigned on or before October 21, 1%6, or this notice will be pleaded in bar of any recovery.

May 5,1966 / Dear Voters of Cleveland County: As a candidate for the office of Sheriff, I sincerely wish to introduce myself to every citizen of Cleveland County. Having been born and reared in Number 5 Township, I am a lifelong resident of Cleveland County. The youngest son of Mrs. Zeb V. Cline and the late Zeb V. Cline, who served on the board of Cleveland County Commissioners from 1948 to 1957, I received my education at Waco Elementary and High Schools. Military training and service in the U. S. Army, 28th Regiment, 8th Infantry Division, 1945-1946, which included active duty in Germany, provided yet a deeper and more significant experience in shaping my life. Upon honorable discharge from the Army, I resumed business and dairying operations with which I am presently involved. My wife, the former Martha Jean Poston, my daughter Amy Jean and I attend Eliza beth Baptist Church and reside on Stony Point Road east of Shelby. Campaigning extensively in our county will be a real privilege and pleasure for me. At present, I am enjoying meeting the people — mak ing new acquaintances and renewing old. friendships. I am encouraged by the interest you have shown in my endeavor; moreover, I appreciate any expression of your concern for my campaign. The opportunity and challenge of serving the people of Cleveland County would be both a privilege and a special trust. Yours very truly, 1 Ambrose B.
