the farm on which they now live
and which they are dedicating to
the war effort.
A. H Hatchett. a Martin's
Creek farmer, and PSA borrower,
was the first farmer in the coun
ty to put in a Grade-A milk cool
ing plant, for ' e delivery* of milk
;o the Southern Dairies which
recently came into this area Each 1
year Mr. Hatchett is increasing
the si?<' of his herd and the i
mount of Grade A milk that is
being sold and eventually fndinu
its way into the Atlanta defense
area for t lie use of soldiers and
war worker In addition to put
ting milk on the market Mr. Hat
chett. markets truck eggs, and
chickens.
J. Franklin Smith purchased
the C. M Wo f ford farm last year
and has since then been convert- I
ing it into a war effort farm He
di not get possession of this farm
until April. 1943. and at that time
most of the land had lready been
rented. However. Mr. Smith did
what he could to put the farm on
the war food production basis by
producing 403 bushels of Irish

Home Canners
Plan To Save
More Food
With about 400.000 steam pres
sure canners and 500.000 water
bath canners to be produced in
1944. the home conservation of
vegetables and fruits should reach
new heights this year and help to
overcome the shortage of com
mercially canned foods, says Mar:/
Lee McAllister. Extension Econ
omist in Food Conservation at
state College.
She points out that glass jars
j and tops manufactured for home
canning this year will be of the
same types as last year. Since
zinc supplies are more ample
now. the familiar porcelain-lined
zinc lid that fits standard mason
size jars will be manufactured
again.
Then too. manufacturers of the
commercial "63" jars promise
well distributed supplies of metal
ealing disks to fit jars with this
smaller-sized mouth. When these
jars that, are suitable for re-use
in home canning are saved, it is
also necessary to save the metal
screw caps that originally came
on the jars The jar cap must be
screwed down over a new. flat
metal disk to complete the home
canning seal.
j And. the rubber jar rings for
1944 will be made of reclaimed
i rubber and synthetics. No crude
I rubber will go into jar rings this
yea.*. These wartime rings re
quire somewhat different hand
| line from that recommended in
p ? war v?>ai Mrs. McAllister
1 points out.

Feed More Legume
Hay To Dairy Cows
Experiments have shown time
and again that good legume hay |
and good pasture are the founda- j
tion of all dairy rations for pro- 1
I fitable milk production, says F
M. Haig. specialist in dairying for ,
I the State College Extenson Ser- ;
vice.
I He points out that the dairy 1
! cow should be given practically all ?
the feed that she will consume. I
| Tli is is because the dairy cow is i
' the most efficient machine in the!
j world for converting such raw ma- 1
terials as legume hay. silage.
| grains, and pasture into the mos' I
; valuable and essential finished |
i product, milk.
Haig recommends the follow -
; ing winter ration for a 1.000
1 pound cow. giving 4 gallons of ,
I milk daily 10 pounds of soybean i
! hay 30 pounds of corn silage: 10]
pounds of corn and cob meal: and
1 pound of cottonseed meal, or
j anv other protein supplement. H? |
| points out that any good legume |
? ' av may be used in place of soy !
j bean hay in the recommendation ,
The important thing Is that it be ]
; .! good legume hay.
Tn the recommended ration. 63 ,
per cent of the digestible protein
and 56 per cent of the total dige.
tible nutrients are furnished h"
the hay and silacre. or the rough - .
aee part of the ration. This in
dicate^ the importance of trood '
ouality roughage as the found n- ;
. ti n of the dairy ration.
"With good roughage, consid- ;
erably more than one-half of the ,
nutrients required for milk pro- j
, (Suction can be furnished with hav |
nnd silage in winter and with !
pasture in summer." Haig says, i
, "North Carolina has the cli
ir r.o the soil, and good dairy
( ws. More and better pastures
rnd more legume hay and silage
r or winter feeding can greatly
help in establishing a successful
nnd permanent system of agricul
vo." he points out.
. alls for a ran sealing machine,
' he says. The families who own
:uii sellers will in all likelihood
be able to buy plenty cf tin cans,
j because no limit is set on the
I manufacture of them for home
i canning.
