Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION : What are the exact
dates (or Farm and Home Week
at State College this year?
ANSWER: The meeting will be
officially opened with an evening
program on Monday, July 29 and
continue through Friday, August
2. Registration offices will be
open all day on July 29 in the
Y.M.C.A. for women without
their husbands or for single wo
men. and in Pullen Hall for men
and couples. Rooms will be as
signed in dormitories on the
campus or ao Meredith College.
yl KS'I'IOX: How inucli grain
should be fetl to u (lair) cow
where good pasture Is available?
..ANSWER:. The average cow
consumes iu a day only enough
?rass to maintain her -body and
produce two gallons of milk.
Where more than this is produc
ed the pasture should be supple
mented with grain. Cows grazing
on good pasture and producing
more than IT pounds of milk a
I day should be fed a grain mix
ture containing from thirteen to
sixteen per cent digestible protein
at the rate of one pound of grain
of each four to six pounds of milk
produced. This amount will main
tain the body and also permit of
the maximum milk producMou.
QUESTION': When should les
pedrza be cut for hay?
ANSWER: Lespedeza should be
. cut when it attains a height of 15
! inches or when the plant Is In
full bloom, say Extension agron
omy specialists at Stat? College.
For the Korean variety, this is
usually from August 1 to 15 and
about 15 days later for the other
varieties. Cutting later than this
will reduce the quality of the hay
and cause the loss of the leaves,
j Early cutting will also permit of
enough second growth to reseed
the land.
QUESTION : How much silage
should I put up for ea<'h row In
my herd?
ANSWER: This yill ?epend on
t'he breed of animals and on the
length of the feeding period. The
Average Jersey or Guernsey cow
will consume from 30 to 35
pounds of silage a day while the
I Ayrshire or Holstein cow will
; need from 40 to 50 pounds a day.
' If you plan to feed silage for six
1 months from three to four and
one-half tons should be provided
for each mature cow in the herd.
QUESTION: Whut Is. the best
temperature to malntuln In curing
' tobacco?
ANSWER: The temperature for
curing tobacco changes with the
condition of the weed. When
the tobacco 1b first placed in the
barn, the temperature should be
from five to ten degrees higher
than the outside temperature.
This is maintained until the leaf
Is fairly yellow. The temperature
is then raised four to Ave degrees
each hour until It has reached
120 to 125 degrees. As soan as
the tips of the leaves begin to dry
it should be raised again to 135
to 140 degrees St the rate of 4
to 6 degrees an hour. When the
leaf is dry It Is again raised from
5 to 10 degrees an hour until the
temperature reaches 180 to 190
degrees. This is held until the
leaf stem Is dry In all parts of
the barn.
QUESTION : What i? the most
effective remedy for ridding my
poultry flock of lice?

NEGRO FARM WORK
SURVEY
That Cooperative, Extension
Work among Negro farmers anl
their families is a vital contribut
ing factor for the economic ad
vancement of the county where
there are Negro County and
Homemakgra' agents, is a fact
strikingly evidenced by the pro
gram and objectives of Extension

County.
Aitnougn tne work nas Deen
established in tihls county for a

progress made in helping the

Even in t'he towns of the couuty
j t'here are signs of better gardens

legiance to safe farming practices,
a more sustaining effort to make
the Live-at-Hoine program an in
i dividual and collective success to
I the extent to cut down the relief
load and provide food and feed
? stuff for family and stock.

velation of t>he attitudes of an
increasisg number of Negro farm

highly commendable efforts of
the County Commissioners. State
and National Governments to
make the rural Negro a profitable
asset' to his family, community,
