, KEEPMG UP ON FMMNC
With Unde Walt
The Good Lord has let ane live a
right long time and I git more thank
ful for it by the day. 1 jest wish I
could of been about 40 years later
a gittin here then maybe I could real
ly enjoy all these new fangled things
they’ve got for us farmers to work
with nowadays.
I’d been thinkin for the past 8 or
10 years that me and Fannie would
take off to Raleigh to this here Farm
and Home Week they have ever year
down there at State College. But
U seemed when fte
for it we had so much to do that we
jest couldn’t afford to* go. The heat
and dry weather sorta took care of
it for us this year though, so we tore
out and went down to it.
We didn’t get to take in the whole
thing but we saw and heered enough
to last this old feller for a right long
time. In fact, we didn’t get down
there ’til about dinner time on Tues
day. And no sooner had we driv up
the school ground some feller told
us how to git over to the collusem
or Soms building to sign up and git
us a room. <
/ Well, when we got over to the col
lusem and went in you could of knock
ed me over with a tooth plclt. I Slli't
never aeon such a buildin. I jest
Stood there a gazin and tumin. It
was really a sight to behold. Final
ly, Fannie grabbed my arm and said,
“Walt, come on and let’s git over to'
our room and see what it’s like.” l|
went on out without sayin a word and j
didn’t say nothin til Fannie asked me
what I was thinkin about so hard. I
said, “I was jest thinkin what if we
had a bam as big as that collusem.
Couldn’t we stack a mess of hay in it
though? She jest sorta laughed and
said I was crazy.
The woman over there where we
signed up told us how to git to our
room, but I bet we asked a half doz
en different folks ’fore we found it.
We finally got there though and after
we rested awhile, we got out and began
to mosey around. We ’lowed we’d
jest look and see what we could see
fore we got tangled up in the pro
gram.
Well, I’m her e to tell you we saw a
plenty. I ain’t never seen the like
of so many buildings. We was stand-
Jn in front of one of ’em and some
.feller come walkin by. So I stopped
him and asked if that was the school
buildin we was lookin at. He must
of thought I was crazy ’cause he
sorta laughed and said, “Yessir, that’s
9 ne of them and so is all these others
you see right around here.’’ I thought

I tell in the truth. They teach one

We was pretty well whooped down

I to the College eatin place and got us
i a good supper. Then we went out to

i ones. Ever time they’d answer one
of the questions right, he’d give ’em
■ a silver dollar. And, I might say, he
give away right many too ’fore he

Next mornin after we eat breakfast
Fannie lowed she’d go to one of the
, womens classes. So I figgered I’d go
to one they was holdin for the men
on fertilizers. Well sir, that was one
of the interestinest meetins I’ve ever
sett in on. This feller Hall who was
doin the talkin told us abou£ ftoW|

tSrial to learn where us farmers
should plftcd our fertilizer for best
results. He not only told us about it,
he showed us with some kind of con
traption that found that stuff in a

j That even in Fannie went to another
j class with the women and I went on
a poultry trip with a bunch of others.
We saw jest about everything they
was to be seen in the way of chick
ens and a lot of things they use with
’em nowadays I didn’t know they
had.
We went back over to the collusem
that night and heered the Governor
speak. He give a migthy good talk
and said it in words that a feller like
me could understand. After he talked
they had a bunch of square dancin and
what not cooked up, but me and Fan
nie went back over to the room and
lay down.
Thursday bein the last day, they
really put on the dog for us. They
had a demonstration of all sorts of
farm machinery and told us all about
each piece of it. I’m a little too old
to be messin around most of what
they bad there, but some of these
young fellers a comin up, they showed
’em how to save a lot of back breakin
work.
We didn’t stay for the meetin

had about as much as we could take
in so we headed back home. I told
Fannie a goin back that we’d sure
been missin the boat by not comin to
the Farm and Home IWeek afore now.
She fully agreed with me and said
, she didn’t know where we could have
f gone and seen and learned so much
, and had so much fun at the same

More Nutrients Saved
By Using Grass Silage
Research and experience have shown
that gr&&8 silage is a more effective
way to preserve feed nutrients than
field-cured hay, especially in humid
regions, C. W. Overman, county agent
for the State College Extension Ser
vice, reports. Saving geed nutrients
is important at any time, but is of I
greater importance this year when
defense production goals call for rec
ord farm output.
Any farmer can make grass milage,
even if he lacks silo space or siiage

ment of Agriculture (USDA) special,

amount oi good silage is 80 to 90

90 to 95 per cent in a gas-tight steel

Mr. Overman suggests using siloing
methods which will keep spoilage loss

is to be made into silage and carried
over for feeding the following year.
