"Freedom from care and every thing ? and never ,a worry or ef fort." About the time we could get nicely settled, and basking under "security henceforth." and our muscles have become flabby, along would come some unruly Foreign Highwayman Nation and slap us down ? and out the win- 0 dow would go Security, lock, j g stock and barrel.

Lambeth ? ? ***?? * ? ? ? j Johnnie Haskins. colored far mer of the Drewry section of, Vance County is doing an excel-, lent job of conservation farming. | In fact Johnnie is doing such a g good job that all the agricultural -j agencies wo?king In Vance Coun ty decided to hold, a demonstra-; tion on his farm to show others j what could be done in the way 1 1 of controlling erosion, and pro-ju viding hay and pasturage at the same time. r When the demonstration was's held July 1. 1943, Johnnie was t busy mowing a ' kudzu meadow [ strip. Many farmers in that sec-jl tion said that you could not han- ' die kudzu but Johnnie went right '1 ahead and showed seventy-five of t them that afternoon how easy it 1 could be done. jl On the way to a sericea mea- ? dow strip, Johnnie led the way t by his pasture where two cowS|? and a calf were standing belly deep in kudzu contentedly eating the tender, young leaves andtt vines. Johnnie remarked that he wouldn't take anything for that p temporary pasture. t The sericea meadow strip had c been mowed around nine o'clock t in the morning and. although ( the day had been partly cloudy, t the hay had cured a nice green i color and was almost ready to f be put into the barn. This strip t had been mowed the eighteenth c of May, Johnnie told the farmers, j and here a little over a month jt later he was getting another c crop of excellent hay. Technic- t ians of the Tar River Soil Con- a servation District then displayed a bale of sericea hay obtained <j from the first mowing and com- t pared it with a bale of hay pur- f chased on the Henderson market t at $34.00 per ton. It didn't'take r much sales talk to show which was the better quality hay. Johnnie warned his neighbors ,] that to have good sericea hay it must be cut when ten to twelve a inches high and put into the barn p the same day to prevent overcur ing and shattering of the leaves. ! Johnnie next showed where he had cut stalks of sericea les pedeza last fall with the seeds mature, and placed them in a gully that had formed in the cen ter of a meadow strip. The seri cea stalks were fastened down by staking pine brush on top to keep the seed from being washed away Young sericea plants now covered the once barren gully. Johnnie stood on the luxuriant kudzu covered road bank, which marked the entrance to his farm, and watched his neighbors drive away with a feeling that they did not believe he had done the impossible but rather that he had done the simple things which they themselves could and would do on their own farms.

The crib has at-proofing features and its con duction permits fumigation of he corn for weevil control. The >lan calls for a structure 12 by 16 feet; with a shed type roof, uounted on concrete or brick )iers. There are four large ven ilating doors which may be tight y closed during the fumigation leriod. Write Weaver for plan fo. 223. He also has plans for iOO, 1,800. 2,000 and 3,000 bush >ls of ear corn. 11? H QUESTION: Does It pay to sort obacco before selling? ANSWER: Yes. Extension pecialists at State College say hat some farmers report that areful sorting of tobacco does lot pay for the extra time re luired. The growers cite sales (here one part of a barn of to lacco was carefully sorted be ore sale, while the remainder of he barn, which was divided into >nly two lots, -sold at greater irofit. The specialists say that his is sometimes true, because ertain curings of very uniform obacco can be handled to an dvantage in this way; but, the esults are misleading, since they lo not apply to all barns of to iacco. Growers, who fail to pro it by sorting their tobacco, at ribute their loss to "a bad sale" ather than to poor preparation. Tl ? li , QUESTION : How can I rid my airy calves of stomach worms? ANSWER: Drench the infected nimals with a solution of cop ier sulphate. Dissolve one-fourth ] pound of clear blue crystals of ;copper sulphate In one pint of boiling water, and then add cold water to make three gallons of !the solution. Use only porcelain or enamelware vessels, as copper sulphate will corrode metal. Give 'calves 3 to 4 fluid ounces and : yearlings 6 fluid ounces. Preven tive measures are very important {in controlling this parasite and l it is best to keep calves in a idean. well drained pasture and to change pastures. o ? V. S.

And, like you, we've lost many of the men who used to help us. Yet that's only part of the story. Every day, on farm and factory, there's something new to teat the skill of those running the business. Not only get* tine help, but ? to mention a few others ? rising costs, making a fair profit, and getting aside reserves for a rainy day. Essentially, those problems are the same for farm and factory, though tney may at times differ in size. But it is that thing called "management, ** that peculiarly American ability to think through problems no matter how tough, that is helping to see us through today. 1 It is this skill in management that farmers and businessmen have most in common, a skill which insures the realization of our determination to produce all that's needed for our country today, and, tomorrow, to make a fair living through greater serv ice to our fellow American-.
