Timely Farm Questions QUESTION':- How cnq I toll if my dairy cow is getting sufficient feed for maximum production? A NSW Kit:- Feed the animal all the roughage, including hay and silage. she will consume and then grad rally increase the grain ration. Check the milk sheets carefully each day and, if milk production increases with | the increase in grain, continue to inI crease the grain until the milk production ceases to be profitable. The grain ration is fed in propor!l lion to tho mill.- n?*iwlnn*!"? .....i ? -- increase is made with the increase in | grain fed then the original feeding v.as sufficient and should be continued on that basis. OUESTION: When should fall gar dens be planted? /\NSWER: This depends upon he hardiness of the different vegetables and upon the time required for maturity. Tender vegetables sheuld be planted in time to produce a crop before killing frosts occur. Many of the cool-season crops will grow and malure a crop through light frosts, but tliety should be planted in time to produce a crop before killing frosts occur. A planting table is given in Exten sion Circular 122, '"The Farm and Home Garden Manual" and copier may be secured free upon application to the Agricultural Editor, State Col lege. QUESTION:- Does moist mash have any effect upon egg production? ANSWER: Yes. moist mash will I hasten egg production in the fall j when fed to late-hatched pullets and i will also keep lip production in laying hens from June until October. I The best time to feed this mash is at 2:00 p. m. each day. Three pounds of the regular laying mash moistened with hot water or milk, preferably milk, for each 100 birds will give ex-. ; cellent results. MM This mash in creases the animal I protein consumption and produces an I appetizing effect upon tir . rds at a time when production < ubnormal.

As in other years. ! e i esponsibi ity of administration; .vill continue in the hands of farmer Loinniittees. An important recommendation' nude at a if. en Washington. on-: H:\ rt nee which 1-"1 yd attended. and ii" which should help small farmerlake part in the program, was that [here be established a minimum soilI uildine allowance of $20 per farm. Another important recommeiula would to per farm for tree planting:, in iiiitmiou to tne regular soil building allowance for the farm. Floyd also said State and local AAA committeemen will have more responsibility for the field administration of crop insurance and loans. This in line with the established AAA policy of decentralizing administration of the program whenever possible. "This year." Floyd stated, "the national conference was held a month earlier than last. This will give farmers in 1940 a better chance than ever to know in advance of the plantin,* season what the program has to offer them." Recommendations adopted at the recent national conference of AAA officials will be used for drafting specific provisions of the 1940 program. In general, it will continue along the same lines as the 1939 program. Changes recommended are tl ose which will simplify adminis tration and make the program mort effective from the standpoint of soi conservation. SPRING PIG CROP SETS NEW HIGH FOR N. CAROLINA 817,000 Reported Saved from Farrowing Since Dec. 1 North Carolina's 1939 spring pig crop was the largest on record, with approximately SI 7.000 saved from farrowings in the State between December 1, 1938. and June 1, 1939, reports the State Department of Agriculture. Digs saved represent an increase of 48.000. or 0 nor c?nt last spring and 45 per cent more man the past ten-year average spring crop. The annual pig surveys were begun in 11124 and the records show the 193U crop as the largest since that date, and probably the largest produced since the close of the World War. The survey based on Federal-State crop reports, follows: The number of sows farrowing in the State during the spring was also the largest number of spring far rowings on record. It was estimated at 134.00 b. The number of sows bred or to be in.-d for farrowing during the coming :all. t sjmated at 104,009. will also i the bluest fall farrowing of any \tar on record. Weather conditions during spring farrowing ihis year were not as favorable as in the spring of 11138 and resulted in a heavier loss of young pigs. With spring litters averaging (>.l pigs, the number saved per litter was slightly below the (i.2 average last spring, and if >?* 1?' ' .. ...... .>IlOUI?l show th same average numbers as in the past spring, a total of 1.451,000 pigs can be expected for the year. This would be the largest annual pig crop of any year on record since 1924. Prices received by farmers for hogs, which have been comparatively high since 19.15, reached their peak about August 1937 and since that date have dropped from $10.70 per 100 pounds to about $6.30 per 100 pounds in June 1939. considerable damage to Anson County crops, blowing down young corn and inflicting serious injury to other crops, reports Assistant Farm Agent Clarence Early. WAGES Wage rates to agricultural workers increased slightly less than usual during the April-June quarter of this year, and the July wage index was the lowest for the month in three years. , DAY.
