A LIVE-AT-HOME PROGRAM A worth-while movement has been arted by the Agricultural Extension etfvice of the State Department of griculture. The plan is to encourage le farmers of North Carolina to irm in a way that will enable them > live at home during the year 1923. he farmer who enlists in this piogim agrees to: itaise enough corn and hay to carry e though 1U24. Raise enough meat to supply my imily this year. Have a 12-months-inthe-year gar2n. Provide milk and butter for my imily. Keep an average of at least .10 ens on my farm the year through. Improve mv orchard this year by tting out some apple, peach, pear, uerry or pecan trees and to plant ?me small truit and berries. Work for richer lands by planting civet beans, soy beans or cow peas i at least one-half of my corn and lover, rye, oats or vetch with or fter half my other crops. Add some home conveniences, such 4 running water, electric lights, wash ig machine, oil stove or kitchen cablet and other things that will lessen le burden of housekeeping. Beautify my home by painting m> use or making base-plantings oi irubs about the house to furnish s roper setting, and to plant flowering ees such as crepe myrtle, mimosa, lagnolia, dog^vood, Judas tree, or tc lant luwn.

COME. W. Y. FARTHING, Ex. THE WATAUC Why Build a Silo? The reason why silos are growing in popularity in North Carolina is because they furnish a feed for winter use tha tcomes nearest to giving the same results as a good summer pasture. Silage furnishes succulent food when pasture is not available. I It makes possible a cheap ration and 1 gives the grower a greater value for I his com. These are some of the reasons advanced by E. R. Raney extension farm engineer for the State College and the State Department of Agriculture for building a silo this summer. Mr. Raney states that the man who is feeding from 10 to 12 cows without using a silo is not feeding as ec1; onomically as he might. A cow will consume about 34 pounds of silage a day and under^North Carolina con-j ditions it is advisable to plan for at | least two tons per cow which will carry her about four months. The size of the silo will depend on the number of cows to be fed, says Mr. Raney and where a grower has less than fifteen head his silo should be about 10 feet in diameter and for 25 to 10 head, not over 14 feet in diameter. The most common types of silo used are concrete, wooden stave, modified Wisconsin and wooden hoop. Tarheel farmers seem to like the concrete and wooden stave better than all others. The concrete silo can be built for $3.00 to $3.50 per ton ca| pacity and will last indefinitely when properly constructed. The stave silo can be built for about $2.00 per ton capacity and will last for 5 to 15 years. Mr Raney will be available for giv , ing advice and help in silo building during the period extending from the first of June to September 15. and those who will need his assistance this summer should write him now so as to be placed or. the list. At the same time, he suggests that the farmers planning to build a silo should plan their corn acreage figuring one ton of silage for each five bushels yield of corn given by the land. CREAMERIES r rom the Monroe Enquirer. The Catawba Creamery Company at Hickory North Carolina ships annually more than .*>50,000 pounds of | butter, 320,000 pounds of poultry, more than 80,000 gallons of ice cream half a million dozen eggs and large quantities of cheese and other farm products, said J. A. Purham in a recent issue of the Charlotte Observer. This creamery was started about 11*12 on the cooperative plan but ; grew to such proportions that, it was deemed best to convert it into a stock ' company. The invested capital was placed at $00,000 and the output of T i the plant last year was $450,000. Du- p t ring the year it paid out to farmers ' c of Caldwell and adjoining countie t! i for their produce more than $100,-! 2 | 000 in cash which was turned into , ' the channels of trade in Hickory and : other towns of the county, most of I i it ni Hickory, This concern buys not! : only the farmers milk, but also tur , keys, chickens, pork berries eggs and I > even such articles as shelled walnut I kernels, which are sold to ice cream ?! manufacturers. It even buys the pro j duct of the small cheese plants in the { > mountain counties to the westward > and distributes these products to the t trade over a wide area L The Auction Sale at the ] Watauga Supply Co stre' will be pulled off Mon- ? day as per announcement j last week. Don't fail to J be there for its the oppor tunity of a life time to ? get good goods at your own price. The big event begins at 10 o'clock and I t its going to happen- rain . or shine.
