THURSDAY, iSEPTBMBER «. 194 MATTERS of INTEREST to FARMERS Poor Picking Brings Heavy Cotton Losses About 86,000 bales of cotton from last year’s crop In North Caro lina were damaged through rough preparation and this meant largo lo.-^ses to the farmer, In some eases 110 a bale. The lo.sses may be still heavier this year bocaiise of the greater dif ferential in grades. Agricultural engineers of the Ex tension Servioe at Slate College say that there are six principal points to rementber in preventing this dam age from a harvesting standpoint. 1— Pick cotton as dry as possible. 2— Keep out trash. 3—Pick the crop before weather damage occurs. 4—Kctp good cotton separate from the damaged cotton. S—Don’t carry cotton to the gin unless It is dry and ill good condition. >6—Don’t ask the giiiner to speed up the ginning of your cotton or to gin St too close ly. North Carolina glnners have Instalt- (d more than $400,000 worth of new eeulpmeni this year, besides their major rcpair.s and Improvements on equipment in place. The glnners are anxious to do a good job of ginning on every bale anl prevent rougli pre- paratlon In so far as possible, but icgardliss how good their enuipmoiU is, they cannot gin cotton properly that Is not In the best of condition when brought to the gin. Will North Caiollna cotton grow ers lose a million dollars this year beeanse of rough preparation of the crop? Only time can toll. As the eh- gliioers say, pick It dry, keep out the trash, and carry it to the gin in good condition for ginning. Arey Suggests More Milk For Tar Heels IlKAD RSTATE AND INSURANCE Agt'iicy for Rest Old Ijiiu* Ooiiipanic.s Life, Fire and Automobile J. C. THOMSON INSURANCE AGENCY Lillington, N. C. North Carolinians need to drink about twice as much sweet milk as is now being produced in the Slate to bring them up to the national average of about '95 gallons per per son. Just how can this extra milk be ob tained? John Arey, in charge of Ex tension Dairying at State 'College, says that an extra 175,000' cows can do it but at the same time he points out that not enough good roughage Is being produced to feed tho live stock already on'the farms. There are all kinds of ramifica tions to this milk problem and the development of a bettor diet. Arey yays' that we need about 4BO,OOOi tons of extra hay to feed all animals on North Carolina farms, Ho explains that more milk may be obtained through 'bettor breeding of dairy cows, better feeding prac tices, Improved farm management, moic. feed crops, and more cows. Along with this program, ho sug gests that Tar Heels, can learn to drink more milk and make a much wider use of it in the daily diet. At pi-esent It appears that the biggest problem is that of feed— principally good, high quality roughage and grazing crops. With long growing seasons hero In North Carolina, State College agronomists say there is no valid reason for not growing the supplemental grazing crops, both winter and summer, and putting In well fertilized permanent pastures, seeded with tho right kind' of legumes and grasses. With plenty of good roughage, .Vrey says that the average cow needs’ about 17 bushels of corn, 12 bushels of oats, and 500 pounds of protein meal for good production. The pro tein meal can como from cottonseed, .'Soybeans, and peanuts, all of which Clops are well adapted in North Car olina. There's tho idea. Where is the milk? For HAULING SAND AND GRAVEL FOR CONCRETE, ALSO MORTAR AND PLASTERING SAND. OR ANYTHING THAT CAN BE HAULED ON H TON DUMP TRUCK. Lewis Stewart Phone 323 Lillinsrton, N. C. Coitrane Predicts Feed Increase "The feed Industry as well as the purchases of feed have been behind the eight ball for some time, but as I look into the crystal''bail, the situ ation Is beginning to clear, and any change in the general feed situation will be for the better,”' Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture D. S, Coitrane predicted rocently. Coitrane qualfied this predlctloni'by saying this applies to carbohydrates and not to proteins. "The prophet, we realize, is more than likely to cud up on an undersized dry limb, yet it is of interest and value to try pro jecting current information into fu ture development,” said Coitrane. The tight feed situation which has plagued our livestock and poultry producers as well as the Industry for several- months apparently passed it's most acute stage In early July, with’ new-erop oats, barley and vlheat be ginning to become , available, and with abundant green feed in most sections of the State., However, restrictions still in force on the purchase and use of feed con tinue to limit the output of commer cially mixed feeds and some by-pro duct feeds. Prospects for feed-grain supplies for the 194'6-47 feeding season are very encouraging. A record corn crop of 3 1-2 billion bushels is in prospect, and the second largest crop of oats has 'been harvested. But barley pro duction is considerably under that of a year ago. The Indicated supply of feed grain for 1946-47, including carry-over of old-crop grains plus new production, would be the larg est on record, both as to total ton nage and on the basis of animals to be fed. TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS Aaawerail at State OoUegG Question; What is inflation? Anawar: When 21 1-2 pounds of bacon at the storef coats as much money as the farmer received for a 250-pound hog six years ago, that's inflation. The Parra Management De partment of the EJxtension Service at State College says,, that now is a good time to pay up all debts and retire all mortgages. It's a danger ous time to buy land on ‘a credit or to make any other long-time com mitments. Change . the ‘ old saying, "In time of peace, prepare for war” to read, "In time of inflation, pre pare for deflation,” Meat Supply And Prices Are Up The supply of meat during the fourth quarter of 1-946 is expected to be from 18 to 20 per cent larger than last spring', according to John Winfield, market newsman with the N. C. Department of Agriculture, who based his opinion on figures ('oniained in a release of Bureau ot Agricultural Economics figures. -How ever, Winfield added, price rises at present arc out-distancing the rise in incomes, especially In the case of pork and beef. While the Norths Carolina pig prop of 651,000 head in the spring season of 1946 was 53,000 head, or nine per cent, morl than production in the spring of 1946, this is still 66,000 head under the 10-year aver age from 19'35-44. Question; Can you give me Infoi- mation on weed and disease coDtroI in the tobacco permanent plant 'bed? Answer: The State College Exten sion Service has 'Just published a small pamphlet, Folder No. 70, that gives this information.; It recom mends the use of cyanamid' and uramon and gives full instructions for its use. The cbemicais must -be applied 90 days before the bed is sown, or some time in October, Farmers with stiff clay soils in- the Piedmont and dark, organic soils in Eastern Carolina should 4eat the plan before attempting - to put it into effect on a wide scale. Just write the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh, for a free copy of the folder. -Question; Is.lt true that 3 'bushels of green sweet potatoes are equal to one bushel of corn In feeding value? Answer: Yea. When you dehydrate 3 bushels of yams, you get the feed equivalent of 1 bushel of corn, ac cording to J,. Y. Lassiter, Extension horticulturist at State ’ College, He predicts that there will be small I processing plan^ in all the major 'sweet potato areas in the near fu- i turc. The smallest of these plants Uan take care of the culls from SO-O to 500 acres, and turn them into ' valuable V,feed for dairy cows ’ and poultry. ;fhe vines can also be pro- . cessed inTsrhay, 1' 1-4 tons of which is equivalent to 1 ton of alfalfa hay.

The outfit is composed of four CONTINENTAL 8LSaw Gins with MITCHELL Super*Cleaners, the very latest and most modem ginning and cleaning equipment available—electric powered. It will be oper ated by Mr. B. F. Poythress, who has been with us since 1930. For some time we have felt the need of a modem gin outfit in this section equipped to turn out cotton that is clean and smooth. This means money in the growerts pocket when he sells his cotton. Wo have it now, and will be ready to sorre you when you pick your first bale. We are prepared to offer you service which cannot be dupli cated in our territory. We invite you to come down to our plant and look over this modem cotton gin, then send us your cotton with the idea of getting the best and most complete ginning service obtainable. Do your neighbors a favor—tell them about it. We will not disappoint you. About 2,50'0,0'00 bushels of corn and about 600,000 busliels of wheat, oats, and barley are .lost ,every year in North Carolina to insects which attack the stored rain, and. James T:' Conner, Jr., Extension Entomologist at State College, says that these losses can be largely prevented through proper fumigation ot the grains. Mora or leas air-tight bins and barns are needed for tumlgatlon and this means that North Carolina needs more good granaries. Conner says that prompt harvest ing of the corn crop will greatly re duce the possibility of infestation in the field. He suggests that all in fested grain be removed from stor age places and that the walls, floors, and ceilings be sprayed with a 5 -per cent DDT mixture. If the grain has been infested in the field, It^should be fumigated at time of storage with methyl bromide, chloropicrln, carbon disulfide, or ehtylene dlchloride. If the grain "bV comes tnfested during, storage, it chquld be immediately ^ fumigated I with.any one of these four materials.'! Some farmers have .asked -about' the advisability of. using DDT dust/ along with the grain, when- 'it is : stored. This is all right, accordng to- ponner, if the grain is to be used tor; seed purposes only. No, DDT dust, should be mixed with rain that is to be used tor animal feed. He recoi amends either 3 per cent er 5 per ciint DDT dust in the treat ment of seed grain, at storage time. The rate lii 1-2 ounce per bushel and it should I>e thoroughly mixed with the seed, j that a study of the economtcB ot the cotton textile industry mado tor the National Industrial Conference Board by Jules Blackman and M. R. Ouinsbirugb brings out the fact that from the beginning ot this na tion's Industrial development, tha cotton textile'Industry led all others in the amount of capital Invested, the. number of persons employed, and the value of the product. The cotton mills ot this country were among the first manufacturers to. adopt and perfect the factory system and even .before 1800 there were more.than a score of small cot ton manufacturing plants In New -England and the Central states. The lvalue of such an industry to day is readily seen, said Hr. Love. The sections which grow and are prosperous are those which -have in- .dustries Crom which their people can draw pay rolls which enable them to buy the products of ihelr taxes which assist in operation of the schools, the libraries, the play grounds, and other facilities of a modern city or state.

S. Love;j secretary, of the American Cotton Manufacturers Association. Mr. Lisve explained recently chants, the .banks, the automobile 'service stations, the food stores and all other, types of business and pro fession b^usy. It has been proved that only throur gh industrial development Is a city able to progress to the point that adequate cultural' advantages' may be afforded for Its citizens.
