LIKE THE PBOYEKBIAL CIBCCS
Raleigh, Jan. 27 ? Rainy weather
has ceased to be the bugaboo of the
North Carolina Cotton Growers .Co
operative Association. Like the pro
verbial circus, the big Tar Heel co.
operative continues rain or shine.-*.
Six weeks of cloudy days put all
sorts of kinks Into the grading de
partment, but the sunshine since
Christmas has given opportunity for
the classers to catch up. No cotton
Is graded when Old Sol hides his face.
Inlformlty of grades Is one of the
main assets of the association, It Is
explained, and all cotton Is graded In
the sunshine.
' Just as- the force ot graders was
doubled to take care of tee big rush
of cotton, the rain set In, and many
weary days were spent by the cotton
association officials while they wait
ed . Cotton couldn't be sold and ne
gotiable warehouse receipts couldn't
he completed without grades. The
grading end Is an Important link in
the association's business chain.
While the 130,000 bales ot cotton al
ready graded shows on the average to
be above ordinary. Chief Claseer P. H.
Hart says there Is plenty of room for
improvement in tho quality of cotton
giown In North Carolina.
The Association Is putting on a
drive this month for One-Variety cot
^tu^communities. It is proposed to
get aH^he growers In certain counUas
or sectiol?4o get the same kind of Tm
proved seed. \j?his will insure better
grades and uniformity of grade, which
is considered fully :>>-iijiportant.
KOLL WEEVIL lXJl'RY THiJKJFAIt
Raleigh, Jan. 31.? All of the arei~
north of a line drawn through from
Hickory in Catawba County to Salis
bury in Rcwan, acress to Raleigh in
Wake and to Washington and Belhav
en in Beaufort and straight through
Hyde County to the coast was first In
vaded by boll weevil in 1922 and is due
for only light injury this year, says
Franklin Sherman of the Division of
Entomology, N. C. Extension Service.
Mr. Sherman says that the injury will
be heavier near the line and to the
eastward but it will be in 1924 before
this section will be seriously hurt and
that the cotton grower has this one
other chance to make nearly a full
crop of cotton If he uses good cultural
methods and picks up the fallen
squares.
The heavy damage of 1923 will be
south of the line mentioned. West of
a line from Monroe to Raleigh the cot
ton farmers will lose from 10 to 20
per cent of their crop, with heavier
less to the south. Here good cultural
methods, picking Bquares once each
week to the end of July and use of
the dust poison in the more heavily
Infested areas should be practiced .
West of a , line from Lumberton "to
Greenville, the injury will probably
run between 20 to 30 per cent, and east
of this line, the Injury will be from 30
to 60 per cent. On the west aide,
good cultural methods should be prac
ticed to the fullest extent and the dust
method used. East of this line, though
the farmers do not depend sd gTeatly
on cotton, they should make still fur
ther reductions in acreage and fight
the weevil for the remaining acreage
by using the dust method, better seed,
better cultivation and fertilization and
pick the fallen squares and burn them.
Mr. Sherman Will be glad to fur
nish information about the boll weevil
to any farmer who will write him at
Raleigh or "who will call at his office.
He states that now Is the time to make
preparation for fighting the pest and
the farmer should Inform himself cor.
rfcetly about the best methods.
The Profitable Way
to Keep Hens
Only Om Feed to Boy
Many people claim that it costs mora
to feed poultry than they return in meat
and eggs. This is largely doe to the
ose of an unbalanced feed. Qralnn and
?ertttch feed* made from Brains are not
? balanoed feed. . X
No flock, large or smalL will ever pay
a profit on an unbalanced feed. While
on a balanced feed, which tosta bnt lit
tle mora, the same fowls will furnish
enough eggs and meat to liberally re
ward their owners.
?Using two different feeds ? one a
?cratch made of grains ? the other a
mash of concentrates, was the usual way
of balancing the rations, but It Is too
Sublesopia for the average beraon. U
isn't balance the ration for every,
hen, consequently it Is used by only a
few. The two in-one method, a maah
d scratch all in one. a feed that can
fed like wheat or corn, is the re?l
solution f?r the average man. Quber.
nut Laying Feed Is just soon a feed ?
? perfectly balanced feed. Many users
call It a real discovery. Tbe longer
yon use it, the better you like It ? those
^Who have fed it constantly for a year
br more are its greatest boosters. Ask
the person who has fed It, or order a
sack and be convinced. Money back
If not satisfied.
