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.

An important recommendation'

[here be established a minimum soilI
uildine allowance of $20 per farm.
Another important recommeiula
would

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. ,
