Is sability it as to 1 claim e feels ; in the Thursday, May 19, 1966 Beef Heids Successful Foi Faimeis The dream of a home in the country with a few beef cattle to occupy the lime and attention ol the family is one that is comin > true every day in North Caro- iina. Industriai workers, business men and retired folks are among those selecting beef cattle as their part-time projects. Since both people and cattle seem to thiive under the arrangement, the trend continues to grow. V. Allen, specialist in charge of extension animal husbandry at Noith Carolina State Uiaiversity, points out that many people seem to associate beef cattle with the wide open range land and the huge herds they see on television shows. However, the specialist says that cattle can adapt to a wide range of manage.r.ent conditions. 'land is the first requirement. Allen recommends that pastures furnish 90 to 9,o per cent of the total feed requirements during the year. In the mountains whore blue- grass will be the main pasture, most farmers should allow two acres or more per cow. In the northern Piedmont section where orchard grass and clover or fes cue and clover are the main pas ture species, one and one-half acres should be sufficient. In the southern Pied.r.ont and Coastal Plain areas where Coast al Bermuda and clover-grass are both grown, farmers may only need about one acre per cow. This means that 15 to 30 acres should be available for pasture f.or a herd of 15 cows. In addi tion, Allen says extra land will be needed to produce winter feed, the acreage varying according to the crops'selected. On the aver age, one and one-half tons of liay I or three-tons of -silage per cow is enough. j Advantages of beef cattle on j part-timev"farms are the small winter feed retiuiremenfS'and the; time required to feed the cattle. | The winter feed supply c.an be cut I and - stared during - summer months in late afternoons or on . weekends, Allen suggests. Tire; required for feeding and manage-. ment is qlsx) small since a cow-I and calf need an average of only | a .cui 12 hoitrs of labor ^acli ; year. ' ; Part-timie farmers are some of ; the best beef cattle producers. The number one feeder calf sale last year in terms of quality -was i held in Greensboro where 79 pot (cnt of the calves graded good or . better, points out Allen. "The av erage farmer sold only 13 calves at the sale which indicates that cattle are not major sources of income on these farms.” — Similar examples are cited a- bout the second and third plac sales held in Jefferson and Boone. “It is extremely hard, however, for the part-time farmer to. jus-, ciiy tlie dollars to buy the.quality bull necessary to improve the calf drop if he has only a 15-cow herd,” Allen said. However, a small farmer has . two alterna tives. He can use artificial insem- ; ination or he can sell all heifers . and buy replacements. If he ' chooses the second alternative, the herd bull can be tisod until | the age of about 10 years and ' the cost can be spread over all ; calves sired during 4he period. I Looking at the economics of 1 j .:eof production, Allen says that : 15 to 20 cows won’t provide the ’ j income necessary to support a i ; home in the country. “But by fol- | I lowing sound managfrent and i ' production practices, the arrange-1 ment should be self-supporting ' I and provide some extra income.” THE MOUNTAINEER ~gr HORIZONTAIi 1 Depicted bird 6 It is an intermediate between — and ducks 11 Commands 13 Young girl 14 Malt drink 15 Silk fabric 4 Symbol for selenium 5 Gaelic 6 Rational 7 West Indies (ab.) 8 Bustle 9 Roman emperor 10 Protuberance 12 Perched >^lWCd-10 oaliilun auastija:' iinran uraan K1C2HC-3 26 Part of a window of account”*^ ” 18 French a^cle .c 19 Colonized ^bot 29 Direction 21 Giant king of f n 20 Humbled 39 Filth 22 Hebrew letter ^ Separated 41 Mimicker 23 Electrical , IS Wicked 25 Bridge ^3 Correlative of 53 Symbol lor ® 25 Pierce with a either cerium ^5 Brother of Jacob (Bib.) 46 Roman road 47 Scatters 49 New Guinea port 51 Peer Gynt’s mother 27 Chew upon 30 Pastry 31 Italian capital 32 Against 33 Greek god of war 34 Existed 35 County in Missouri 36 From 37 Diminutive of Edward 38 Physician (ab.) 40 Toiled ! 46 That thing 48 Be Indisposed 50 French capital I 51 Goddess of infatuation 52 Sketched i 54 Rested I 56 Western cattle I 57 Employers VERTIGAI/ 1 Purpose 2 Shield bearing 3 Poem knife 44 Tear 55 Pronoun 1 1 5 H 1 (• r” IT II !j w lb n la •7 20 P U u iy 2Je ri L sr 31 w~ 5(e >7 59* s 46 til 45 4(> w 47 58 SZ ii 1 sT 1 ' - — ■■ BETHWARE OAK GI«>V€ NEWS * By Mt».

The fact that he has gotten results is what has ma^e B. Everett Jordan .one of the most highly respected men In the Congress. He has a formula. Just plain hard work, and his hard work has paid off for the people of North Carolina. Consider Just a few examples: ■ He is the author of legislation which established the one-price cotton program, a program that has brought new life to the cotton industry, all the way from the farmer to the textile worker. ■ He is the author of the acreage- poundage program for tobacco. ■ He worked to complete the _ valuable W. Kerr Scott ^ Reservoir on the Upper Yadkin River. ■ He guided legislation through the Congress authorizing the New Hope Dam in the Cape Fear River Basin, the Falls of the Neuse Dam in the Neuse River Basin, and the deepening of the Wilmington channel to major- harbor depth. The list of accomplishments goes on and on, because Senator Jordan believes in North Carolina and what we can do if we keep on working at it. As he has done in the past, he wants to continue working for North Carolina. Vote For B. Everett Jordan United States Senator Democratic Primary, May im: CLYDE NOLAN.
