CORN MORE PROFITABLE THAN TOBACCO AND COTTON Corn properly supplemented and fed to hogs In 1930 will be more likely to return a profit than will cotton and tobacco. "The cost of producing four acres of com Is but little if any greater than the cost of producing one acre of cotton or tobacco," says W. W. Shay, swine extension special ist at State College. "This com, when fed to good hogs, will certain ly stand a better chance this year of paying a profit on the venture. Therefore Instead of planting cot ton and tobacco with less than the needed amount of fertilizer and therefore working two acres to get the amount that one should pro duce, try putting In several acres of com this season to be hogged down in August and September." Thousands of acres of com should be planted for hogging down, be lleves Mr. Shay. Other thousands of acres of com should be planted to meet the requirements of the half-stsirved hogs which are nol profitable now but which could be made so If they were properly fed Unless the amount of com ir North Carolina Is increased, some of the hogs now on farms should be dec reeled. During 1929, elever county farm agents assisted 41 farmers In keeping complete record; on the feed eaten by 918 hogs dur lng periods of time averaging 8! days.

Including 92 bushels of wheat for which they paid at the rate of $1.36 a bushel and 135 bushels of barley for which they paid $1 a bushel, the hogs then paid $1.50 for each bushel of corn consumed. Mr. Shay says that these hogs sold at an average price of $11.54 a hundred pounds and that market conditions are equally as satls i factory during the coming year. | CORN YIELD CONTROLLED BY STAND SECURED The number of stalks of corn growing upon an acre of land will be one of the Important factors controlling the total yield of grain secured from that acre at harvest. O. M. Oarren, cereal agronomist at State College, says that the number of stalks the acre will sup port depends chiefly on the fer tility of the soli and the rainfall during the growing season. One may fertilize well and yet not have a good stand and thus fall to make a good yield. Usually, fows of corn , are planted tour feet apart and the i hills kept from 12 to 24 Inches a ; part on the row according to the i soil fertility. Mr. Oarren says that the best yields secured In tests made I by the North Carolina Experiment ; Station were obtained when the i rows were four feet apart and the I corn planted 24 Inches apart on the ? row. Such a distance will give 5, t 445 stalks to the acre when a per > feet stand Is secured. Usually with a perfect stand ol i 5,445 stalks to the acre and each > stalk averaging one good ear, the I yield obtained when figuring II i takes 125 ears to shell one bushel 1 of grain, will be 43 bushels to the i acre. When a prolific type of core . Is used, at least AO per cent of th< 1 stalks will bear two ears and thui i the yield will then average about i 50 bushels to the act*, fifty bush HONOR ROLL.

PASTURE IS BASIS OF LIVE STOCK FARMING Permanent pasture is the foun dation for profitable and successful livestock production. "Probably the greatest source of revenue in many of the more favor ed counties of western North Caro lina is the large area of sod which annually produces an abundant yield of valuable grazing," says Sam J. Kirby, pasture specialist at State College. "It is necessary that the value and possibilities of pasture be more fully appreciated that the crop will receive more care and thus be able to pay the highest profits." Mr. Kirby says that pasture fur nishes an abundance of feed at low cost; prevents soil erosion or wash ing; builds the fertility of the soil and beautifies the landscape. On eighty-eight farms where records were kept last year, pastures rang ing in age from one to four years, produced from $16.50 to $38.50 worth of grazing an acre or an average ol $28.82 an acre when measured in feed replacement values. When pastures are properly managed and grazed, they will pay a good annual return. It is nearly always necessary tc seed the pasture. Waiting for a good sod to come voluntarily is a long and almost hopeless task. Ir many instances the best grasses and clovers do not appear in the sod under these conditions. It is best to seed and to seed liberally Limestone and fertilizers help U establish the sod. Weeds may fx controlled by obtaining a gooc stand of the nutritious grasses ant clovers. In Mr. Klrby's opinion the plant ing of good pastures, especially li els an acre Is the standard set fo corn growing in this state. To get such yields. Mr. Oarrei urges growers this year to plan 1 only on a thoroughly prepared seei ; bed, to plant plenty of sound seed i to use only mature seed and to us i those rarities which have prove: 1 best ylelders in the local neighbor i hood. When these suggestions ar l followed and the corn fertilized an ? side-dressed as it should be, on i should more than measure up t I the standerd of 50 bushels an acr ? j on each acre planted. the upper piedmont and mountain sections will help to build up an Industry which will yield a farm revenue far In excess of anything being done at the present time. County Agent's News Items In speaking of farm activities of Alamance county recently, W. Kerr Scott the county agent reports: We cleaned and treated 75 pounds of tobacco seed for Alamance coun ty farmers this spring. There are approximately 500,000 tobacco seed per ounce. This makes a total of 600,000,000 tobaco seed that have been treated against disease for the county. The Divine command to have a garden, "And the Lord God took the man and put him In the gar den to dress It and keep It."?Gen esis 2:15. The income from the dairy In dustry In Alamance county for the year 1928 was $848,749.50. The captlal behind the dairy In dustry of this county represents ap proximately $2,600,000, which Is a growing Industry. A co-operative poultry shipment was made Wednesday and Thurs day of this week from Graham. Fish meal for poultry and hog feed Is being ordered. Freight rates on less than car load lots make It almost prohibitive to buy that way. A poultry school will be held at the courthouse In Graham on Thursday, March 20, all day. Mr. C. F. Parrlsh, poultry specialist, Dr. Dearstyne, poultry disease specialist and Mr. L. C. Salter, marketing specialist for poultry will be present. | Anyone having diseased poultry are requested to bring Infected birds on that day. Nearly 40,000 pounds of Improved pasture mixtures and Lespedeza , will be sown In Alamance this com ing spring. Sowing as late as April 20 Is generally satisfactory. If you haven't tried Lespedeza for soli Im provement, try it on a small patch this year. We will help you locate seed. When better automobiles are made most ot us will still be payiug for the ones we now have. Randolph farmers purchased 30, 000 pounds of lespedeza seed and : large quantities of other clover and grass seed this spring. Because of bad weather cutting the acreage to small grain last fall, piedmont farmers have planted ; more spring oats than usual. County Agent T. J. W. Broom of , Union County has begun a dairy club with the importation of 17 heifers and four cows as founda tion stock. Onslow farmers are removing stumps from their fertile lands. A special campaign for this purpose was recently begun In the county by the farm agent. Four-H club boys of Yadkin county are caponlzlng their cock erels and selling them at good prices. E. E. Oough received $124. 27 for one shipment. One good tobacco grower says that using dolomltlc or magnesium limestone under his tobacco has ? paid him between $50 and $75 a year for the last four years. !
