Allow me to again suggest that all acreage available in Virginia and the Carolinas should be made ready for winter farming.

COTTON CROP (levwV l County farmers report excf d cotton ry whe ther® mt amrts Bwty will Mtt but the r Fit Dairy Cattle Early For Fall Show Exhibits The fitting and showing of dairy animals is an art that means almost as much as quality in winning prizes in the show ring. Fred M. Haig, associate professor of animal husbandry and dairying at State College, who has judged many exhibits at fairs, said that many owners have lost first place through improper methods of preparing and exhibiting their entries. Too many dairymen wait until i week or two before the fair to start preparing their cattle for the show ring, he said. The animals should be selected 10 or 12 weeks before the fair and put through a thorough con ditioning. They should be selected for their age and breed, with straight, level top lines; long, deep middles; natural refinement or quality; and smart, clean-cut appearance. The young animals should approach the upper age limit of their class, since the larger animals are given preference over smaller ones, he said, when other things are equal. He also suggested fitting several animals in each class so that those showing up best at the close of the finishing sea son can be selected for exhibition. Females in milk should have well developed mammary systems, with large, well balanced udders and teats of uniform size, squarely placed. The dry cow does not show up so well as the cow in milk. Haig warned against putting too much fat on the animals or over - fitting them.

A good ' grain mixture to feed is 100 pounds of ground corn, 100 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds of wheat bran, and 100 pounds of linseed oil meal. Careful grooming of the animals is as important as proper feeding, with plenty of brushing every day. Tar soap is recommended. Haig advised against clipping over the entire body as it makes the hair grow coarser. Fowls Lose Health As Production Is Pushed The evolution of the fowl from a jungle bird laying 15 eggs a year to the modem hen laying up to 300 eggs in the same period is a monument to poultry science, says R. S. Dearstyne head of the State College poultry de partment. The fowl has been transformed from a partially herbivorous bird tc one which will utilize large quantities of animal protein in egg manufacture. The birds’ bodies have probably changed in adapting themselves to the new diet, he said. Unfortunately, however, the ten dency of the industry has been to stress increased production without taking sufficient consideration of fowl vitality. The question of mortality is now a major concern of the industry and much thought and investigation must be spent before the problem can be solved, Dearstyne stated. The pro blem is complex, as there are so many reasons for birds dying early. A recent study by O. B. Taylor of the Poultry Department into the a cause of death in 4,440 fowls showed 1 deaths were caused by the following s conditions in the percentages listed: 1 diseases of the digestive tract 15.9 i percent;'intestinal parasites 11.6 per cent; respiratory diseases, 9 percent; s tumors, 8.4 percent; germ borne i diseases, 7 percent; diseases of the r glandular organs, 6.9 percent; consti -1 tutional diseases, 6.5 per cent: genital r diseases, 6.5 percent; abdoniinal di seases, 5.4 percent; protozoan dis eases, 5.4 percent; nervous diseasees, 4 percent; accidental deaths, 3.6 per cent; diseases of the circulatory sys i tern, 1.3 percent, and cutaneous dis eases, .5 percent. l This study brought out the fact that i much of the work of reducing mortal ; ity will fall upon the individual poul , tryman to use better methods of flock management and of controlling the . spread of disease. l ooks Like Asking Too Much Os Jesus We are indebted to the Sampson County Independent for the follow ing article: It was rather discouraging, to say the least. A local store turned a note over to a Clinton attorney for collection. The man who gave the note lives jn an adjoining county and the Clinton attorney sent the note to an attorney in that county for col lection. The note was returned with a letter reading in part as follows: “The man who gave the note is a sanctified Negro preacher, who says he will never die, and he does not pay Jiis debts because he says: ‘Jesus paid it all.’ I regret that I could not collect the note for you."
