TO THE FARMERS OF ALAMANCE COUNTY Nearly one year ago, I was In your county and aided your worthy County Agent in a campaign for better farm pastures, and better dairy cows, pigs and poultry to consume these pastures. When we closed that campaign, I wondered If our preachments about more and better pastures would be heeded by the farmers, or would it all go by as an idle tale told to disinterested listeners. I am happy to be back In this good year of 1930 to check up on what results have come to the county through that campaign. We find that the campaign is still forg ing ahead. Almost every farmer I meet is inquiring for more pasture information, and invitations to go to see pastures which have been built up in Alamance county where a few years ago, the farmers fully believed that pasture grasses and legumes would not grow. This afternoon, Kerr Scott, the enthusiastic county agent, told me of Mr. J. M. Thomas' success in making a pasture, which sounded rather "fishy," but we drove a round to see it and all fishy smell disappeared when we got in sight of this pasture. There was orchard grass, tall meadow grass, Kentucky blue grass, white Dutch clover, Als ike clover and Lespedeza in abun dance. I was surprised and delight ed. Now some of our county a gents have been hauling their farmers all the way through east Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia to see some good pastures. That is 1 all right and good so far as exer cise and sight-seeing and recrea tion are concerned, but for practi cal pasture building, a visit to Mr. Thomas' farm in Alamance county ' will beat it to death; because when . he sees the good pastures in the states referred to the farmer will i naturally say, yes it can be done 1 here; but it can't be done in Ala < mance county, N. C. But when he visits Mr. Thomas' pasture, grow i lng right up out of Alamance soil, there is no alternative only to ad mit that it can be done right here - in North Carolina. It is fascinating and Instructive . to hear Mr. Thomas tell how he i procured such success in making ? these pastures, and yet there is no mystery about it. Any farmer in i Alamance county, or any other coun jty in North Carolina can do the 4 CONTROL FIELD RATS WITH POISONED OATS Damage to corn and other held crops, especially along ditch banks and near timber, from field rats and small rodents may now be ef fectively controlled through the use of strychnine coated oats. "This poison, while not danger ous to gallinaceous fowls such as chickens, turkeys, partridges and the like, Is a sure killer for the rats," says C. D. Schwartz, biolo gist for the extension service at State College. "In preparing the oats, however, care should be taken so that none of the poison Is left where it can be reached by other animals or the children. "About one teaspoonful of the poisn should be paced every 20 or 30 feet along the runways and also on both sides of the ditch banks. In fields of broomsedge It feet apart on the runways. Les isbetter to place the bait 15 feet pedeza Is a favorite food and cover for these small rodents and the crop should be treated as soon as the tops have made a dense cover. A thorough treating of the crop is absolutely necessary in order to control the destructive cotton rats." Mr. Schwartz states that one ap plication of the poisoned oats Is usually sufficient to control the rats but In some cases it Is necessary to rebait the runways. This should be done about one month after the first baiting and should be placed at the same distance apart but In a new place along the runway or ditch. One pound of bait Is sufficient to clear about one and one-half acres and can be bought already prepared much cheaper than It can be prepared at home. A letter to C. D. Schwartz, State College Sta tion, Raleigh, N. C., or to your own county agent will bring Information as to where the bait can be secured and prices. The province of Alberta, Canada, will spend $1,200,000 on Its main highways this year. 81xteen cotton demonstrations In Catawba county made an average yield of 545 pounds of lint cotton per acre during the past year at a cost of only nine cent a pound. The average yield for the county Is 240 pounds at a cost of 18.3 cents. Newsy Letter By County Agent Scott. H. M. Sirigletary completed first month of accounting work for Ala mance Herd Improvement asso ciation. Twenty-two herds were tested. Pasture campaign making splen did progress. It costs four cents per day to feed a cow on improved pastures, as against 35 cents per day for roughage out of a barn loft. Thoughtful farmers are quick to see this. Mebane Klwanis club plans to give another barbecue to those who sow improved pastures. Many farmers sowed lespedeza on recent snow. It Is a splendid soil Improving and grazing legume. Seed cost less than for cloved seed. It Is a mighty fine feeling on these snowy mornings to have a small check coming In for milk, cream or eggs, to back up what the cotton or tobacco crop did not do. Taking an extra cake of saus age on your plate these brisk morn ings is all right, If you raised it yourself. A fine feeling Isn't It? Plan a good garden, then grow it. Profits count faster when ex pense of living are less. We are making our cooperative order of grass, clover and lespedeza seed on February 15. Farmers in recent county-wide meeting, stated that the county agent should make improved pas ture the important project for 1930. You are Invited to join In 3j000 acre campaign for Improved pas I tures. ! Scores of farmers are having to , bacco seed cleaned and treated at county agent office. Bring yours ; any day. W. KERR SCOTT, County Agent. same thing?provided he will do what Mr. Thomas did. He simply made up his mind that he wanted a pasture. He then sought the necessary Information needed?he then followed this Information, and he has the pasture. With the proper management this pasture will easily carry two cows per acre. Now listen, I said, with proper pasture management, because with bad pasture manage ment, this young pasture could be made a failure, but that Is another tale about a good pasture. Respectfully, J. R. SAMS. County Agent at large. NEED HOG AND HOMINY ! IN EASTERN SECTION Hogs and corn, milk and hay are the great needs of southeastern I North Carolina farmers according i to a survey recently made by ex- ' tension workers at State College, i Pork Is needed not so much be- I cause It Is not produced In suffi cient quantity but because more of It Is needed to substitute for beef and mutton which are not produc ed In anything like sufficient a mounts. Com of course Is needed to feed the hogs, and the produc tion of this crop li generally be low requirements for the section. Only a fraction of the required amount of milk Is produced and the failure of this stapply Is doubt less one of the causes of the wide spread of the dreaded pellagra In the southeastern section. The sur vey, however, shows a distinct boom In milk production with every county In the southeast showing a 100 per cent Increase in 1928 over the production In 1929. Hay, which Is needed for feeding purpos es, Is not raised In anything ap proaching needed requirements and millions of dollars are spent an nually for (his commodity which could be produced at home. There Is a silver lining, however, as the section raised a surplus of Irish potatoes and practically all the sweet potatoes needed. Poul try and eggs are also being produc ed In sufficient quantities to fill home requirements anC some of the counties are producing a sur plus. The farmers are not grow ing enough oats but production has shown a steady increase since 1920. The trend In money crops has been towards tobacco and away from cotton, especially In thoee counties along the southern edge and along the coast Here the boll weevil has done great dam age and farmers are turning to other crops. Two hundred and twenty-one boys and girls of Davidson county have enrolled for Four-H dub work. Poultry, corn calves and pigs are the major projects for the boys, while the girls are studying nutri tion and clothing for health. Summons by Publication NORTH CAROLINA?

This naturally led to the production of crop# that were adapted to alow marketing such aa cotton, tobacco and grain. But now he states, it la not only nec essary to produce the things needed on the farm but alao to produce those things most In demand at the nearest market which, In most cases is at the front door. The constant demand today Is for food products from livestock. According to Mr. Klmrey, live stock, pasture and feed crops in reasonable proportions will enable every farmer In North Carolina to utilize a maximum per cent of his acreage and will at the same time produce a decent living and a mar ketable surplus of livestock pro ducts. "This Is the only permanent so lution and as long as the farmers of North Carolina refuse to follow this system, just so long win they have a small and Insufficient farm Income and a standard of living not In keeping with other livestock producing sections," says Mr. Kim rey.
