YOUNG FARMERS MEET ON
NOVEMBER 13
The Cove Creek Chapter of Young
Tar Heel Farmers of Future Farm
ers of America met in the agriculture
room of Cove Creek High School on
Friday the thirteenth and enjoyed an
interesting program. Vilas Harmon
made a talk on the best sheep for our
community. Earnest Henson talked
on the best sheep in the United States
and why it is best; John Henson
talked on "Hams to the Rescue" and
Harry Rowe talked on "Flyers of the
Sea.'"
We were delighted to have several
of the girls from the Home Economics
Department present at this program.
A good number of the members of
the club are entering the regular
speaking contest which is held every
year. It has been arranged so that
the different clubs will compete
against each other instead of having
every one speaking together, as has
been the custom heretofore.
THIS WEEK'S PROJECT
Being a member of the Cove Creek
Chapter of Young Tar Heel Farmers,
I carried a project. I grew cabbage.
I plowed the ground in March and
let it lay until .iune, then plowed it
again. Then I harrowed and disked
it. Ttyen the fertilizer was applied
at the rate of 600 pounds per acre,
8-4-4 fertilizer being used. The transplanting
came next. The crop was
cultivated and hoed twice, and sold
to local buyers.
t '-f .
a ?uu oi-iw 111 ouuuage wnicn
produced 36,125 pounds. They were
sold at home and they brought me
3241.45 My total expenses, including
seed, fertilizer, rent and all labor,
amounted to $162.72. My net profit
was $78.73, and my labor income on
the crop was $102.13.
