Mr. J. D. Morris, Youn gsville, N. C. R 1, has produced a record for Franklin County with assistance of the above steps. Mr. Morris started beef cattle produc tion in 1939 by purchasing 4 heifers. At the State Fair he purchased the best young Here ford Bull shown. Since that time he has purchased four additional cows and heifers. He was anxious to develop a medium sized beef cattle breeding enterprise but did not realize that he would have sufficient breeding stock so quick ly as he expects now. This Spring seven of his beef cows dropped calves and one dairy cow dropped a half breed. All calves dropped were females and one additional calf is expected from other Here ford beifer soon. As soon as these calves are grown out Mr. Morris will have more than his desired number of breeding Hereford cows and no bulls for sqle. Mr. Morris further advised that he was reducing his corn acreage al lotment with bis increase in live stock production. He is harvest ing several acres of Fulghum Oats which are yielding approxi mately 50 bushels an acre and substituting this for corn in feed ing his work stock and cattle. He advises thai be can grow a crop of small grain and a crop of lespe deza for seed or hay producing feed much cheaper than is possi ble by planting corn. Cotton ginners and farmers have shown considerable interest in the organization of additional one variety cotton communities in FrankMn County. Mr. R. H. Raper spent one day in Franklin County visiting the communities ' being served by J. M. Griffin. j Wood; N. H. Griffin, Centerville; E. J. Wheless, Justice; W. G. ' Wilder, Mitchiner's Cross Roads, j and F. H. Allen. Louisburg, for I the purpose of starting work to ' determine the farmers that de- ; -ire impartial reports on staple i and grade of their cotton ginned in one variety cotton communi ties. All parties agreed to coop erate and assist in canvassing the farmers of those communities that tbe service may be secured for those desiring it. A small grain (arm lour was conducted through Louisburg. Franklinton and Youngsville Townships to visit small grain demonstration plots. Plots visited had be?n treated with various amounts of 0-16-10 fertilizer and Nitrate of Soda. On all plots, areas receiving largest amount of ? Nitrate of Soda showed prospects of highest yields with yields be ing In direct proportion with amount of Nitrate of Soda used. One demonstration plot showed wheat following lespedeza plowed under on one-half of the plot aDd no lespedeza on the other half. It was estimated that the wheat following lespedeza pro duced three to four times as much aa that following clean cultivated crops in adjoining areas. Mr. Howard Cooke, farmer on tour, suggested to the group the pos sibility of organizing around com bine Harvesters one variety small grain communities in a similar manner In which one variety cot ton communltle* are being operat ed to avoid mixing of seeds when harvested with combines. It de veloped that other persons on the tour were very much interested In this opportunity and as it is possible that small grain will sup plement and replace corn produc tion In Franklin County, good seed are desired and much en deavor during next year should be given toward production of high quality seed for planting in Franklin County and selling to adjoining counties. The tour was conducted In cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service and all persons attending were surprised to see the difference shown in plots observPB. Mexican Been fleet lex i Mexican been beetles have made their appearance and are doing considerable damage to home gardens, playing havoc with snap beans and batter beans. These destructive Insects can be controlled by dusting with Rote none nntll bean beetles have been destroyed. There are several small f dusters on tbe market for this purpose. Tbe duster used should have a spout adjusted to blow tbe dust from the ground upward putting the material on the bot tom side of tbe leaven. Dusting should be done when the air is calm and late in the afternoon, when dew starts falling is pre ferable. Good gardens in Frank lin County will not yield butter beans and snap beans properly un less tbis insect is controlled. Boll Control From observation to date it ap pears that the last of this week will be the opportune time to start mopping cotton to control, boll weevils.' Early cotton should reach tbe stage by this time wbere It has started bushing at top and squares starting to form. Three mopping applications should be made before squares have fully formed if best results are desired. Applications may be made any time during tbe day but afternoon application is preferable as it is easfer to predict weather condi tions at that time. If materials are wasbed off by rains, another application should be made as soon as Weather permits. Tbor-! ough applicatiOD is necessary for' good results. A series of meetings will be' held in Halifax County to inform , growers of the most effective methods of controlling cotton boll weevils, reports Farm Agent W. O. Davis. Wholesale prices of most cuts of fresh pork declined from 12 to 22 per cent during May, this drop being attributed to greatly in creased supplies. LEGGETT'S ? Offer ?
