FA.RM DEMONSTRATION
-January and February arjfe.!usugy^y:
l^our two worsj^ifionths Iot doing farm
work. Mcjstjarmers, as a ruler-^arQ
.idle mpst of ^the time at this "season
of t^ year. The breather is wet and
\pMl but yet there is work that wo
can find to do, if we are in earnest
about finding something to do. ^
There should j>e?very^7ew in.
the year, but thatT-tha farmer could
.find something to do on his farm.
Now is the time to prune and spray
the orchard, and we would be glad
to see^very_ farmer in the . county
take more interest in this work. There
"is, no work on the farm that will pay
the farmer a larger income for the
amount of work done. We expect to
have, several pruning and spraying
demonstrations in several sections of
the'eounty this winter and shall be
glad to help the farmers, all we can
with this work. We also will be glad
to furnish formulas for spray mixture
es to any one who may care f6r
ttfem.
^ Farmers generally ararlght much
upset about the fertilized situation.
Prices are high and are nbtx likely
to be any lower. ? At 'present prices
the farmers cannot use commercial
fertilizers at-^j?-proflt,~so we woujd
suggest that^lhey buy ground lime-"
stone or marl and spread over their
lands this winter where it has Se^p
-broken or spread on clover, rye, wheat
or^oats. This lime will not only help
the '.cover crop, "Trot will greatly in
crease the cotton 5f ^corn .o?op, which
in to follow the cover crop, by setting
ffee, ~ot making available the inert
potash of the soil. ? - ?
We would then, instead of using a
ready mixed fertll1zerv?is*a mixture
of acid and cotton see<T meal. We
would mfx this -acid and meal about
half and ase-from 200 to 500
rpbWrds per acre. ? -*v

---We believe regardless of the fee-..,

will do as we have sufegnted above
that we wiirihake a mucftTrarger crop

' ly a mucl^yjdpgrDrofltflble one.
farmery^Jn this country need
it be so. bodly u$SJTt about "potash.
We baVe plenty of pot^gh In most of
^rjsojils.and what we is to
find out how to make thig potasn avail
able so the plant can^use It.
We need to mala jMwMfler study d*
-*oHrrand find tney are
aq<* can supply
whtvt thtfy need ^vTFMWt^waatlng some
fertilizer ingredient tfWfllrnot needed
In the noil. It is estljBMbd that the
farmers of North Carolina waste every
year several hundred thousand dol
lars by the unintelligent use of com
mercial fertilizers.
We would like to see ramklln
county stop this waste, by studying th?
soil and knowing what It needs.
We are right much encouraged ovpr
the Interest the boys have taken in
their club work during the past year,
but we want to Bee a larger number
of the boys Join the Corn Club. W?
did hot have as much time to devote
to this work last year as we would
like to have had, but this year we
hope to he able to. devote more time
to the club boys. We want to see this
county make as good a showing aa
any county In this -work. We hope to
-have the hearty co-operation of the
boys as well as their parents in this
work. . .
We have been advised that there
will be held at Ingleslde February , .
12th, and at Justice February 14th.
Farmers' . Institute. We hope that
every farmer that can do so will at
tend these meeting. The women are
also asked to be present.
There is to be held at Salisbury,
January 25th to 28th, a Live Stock
Convention. At this convention ther? -y:
will be offered for sale, horses, cattle
(both dairy and beef), sheep and hogs.
