The yearling bull pur chased Is of good type and wil be used in developing a herd ol grade Hereford cattle on the Smith farm, between Louisburg and Franklinton.

Nine hundred and eighty-five samples have been classed as to staple length and grade as of September 25, 1943. One hundred and seventy-one samples graded strict middling. Seven hundred and seventeen graded middling where only 97 graded strict low middling. no samples graded lower. Six hund red and fifty-one of the samples stapled ope inch or longer, with^ only 330 samples shorter than" one inch. Favorable seasons along with clean picking and good ginning made this excellent re port possible. ' The class card for each bale gave the producer the Commodity Credit loan rate on the address side of the card. Producers are eligible to borrow the announced loan rate and are permitted to store on the farm if house for storage is available and farm loan storage requested. Samples for classification were sent by the following ginners: A. B. Alston Gin, L. H. Dickens Gin. Green Milling Co.. J. M. Griffin's Gin. N. H. Griffin's Gin, H. G. Jones Gin. Stalllngs Milling Co., Sugar Loaf Gin. H? 11 Fire Prevention Means Check-Up D. S. Weaver, head of the agri cultural engineering department at State College, reminds farm families that Fire Prevention Week began Octobei 3, and offers these tips to families who want to cut down the fire hazards in their homes. He suggests that every , farm family ask itself these questions: Do the members of our fanflly have habits that are conducive to good fire control? Do they use kerosene or gasoline In starting fires? Are they careless about smoking conditions? Are the oily and greasy rags used about the garage put in me tal containers or immediately burned, or are they allowed to accumulate In corners as a possi ble fire hazard? Are the child ren allowed to play with match es? Is the electric Iron discon nected immediately after the ironer flnlsfies with the Ironing board? "Many simple habits oonduclve to correcting the Ore hazard may be Instilled in members of the family by general discussion of the fire hazard problem," Weav er says. He suggests that the family look over each of its rooms to see If any fire hazards are allow ed to remain unchecked there. Now is the time to do it, he says, when everyone is being made conscious of such things, and then keep them aware of the dan gers that come from carelessness. u? ' n Mr. Eulls Andrews, a small grain farmer in Gold Mine Town ship, advised that he has already planted small grain for grazing, hay, and pasture to prevent buy ing hay. He further stated that he fertilized these crops at plant ing because he observed that yields were greatly Increased by the application of fertilizer at the time of seeding. Mr. Andrews stated he planted for hay; one bushel of wheat, one bushel of barley, 10 pounds of clover and 6 pounds of vetch an acre. He had opportunity to learn the advantage of fertilizing small Sialn by conducting fertilizer tests in 1941. His yields o t wheat were more than quadruple where properly fertilized. 11?1 Mr. H. P. Mitchell, Kittrell, N. C. Route 1, Just received a car load of Basic Slags to be used on small grain on his farm and farms in his community. Mr. Mit chel harvested last year four times as much barley an acre where Basic Slag was used at the rate ot 400 pounds an acre as compared to production in adjoin ing field not similarly treated. The same amount of top-dresser was applied on both fields. Barley Stripe disease damaged W. J. Alston's barley crop at least 25% last year. In one field of Iredell barley more than one half of shoots died befor.e grain was formed/- According to Mr. Howard Garriss, Extension Plant Pathologist at State College, this disease can be satisfactorily con trolled by treating seed before planting with New Improved Ceresan. This treatment will also prevent damage caused by smoot. The rost of treatment is approxi mately 15 cents a bushel and is strongly recommended to all plan ters of wheat, oats, or barley. H? II Clover seed and Austrian win ter peas are available free to farmers through 1943 supplemen tary Agriculture Conservation Program. Free seed are available to farmers that have earned their 1943 Soil Building Goal. A large number of applications for these seed are received daily. Novem ber 16, 1943 is flnial date' for placing orders. The largest acre age ever planted of small grain and winter legumes for grazing, hay, grain, and soil building is expected this year. Seed, there fore, should be bought before pre sent stocks are exhausted. TT ? H Mr. W. T: Moss, successful small grain farmer at Youngsville stated, "It's a waste of time and labor to operate a gralp drill with the fertilizer attachment empty. ? ????? ? ??? * SOIL CONSERVATION ? ? ' NEWS ? ? By W. O. I.ambcth ? ? ????* ? ? ? ? A good stand of Austrian win ter peas can put_ plant food equivalent to two hundred pounds of nitrate of soda per acre into the soil. The Supervisors of the Tar River .Soil Conservation Dls-[ trict recommend this winter le gume. particularly as an erosion resisting crop. 11?11 This writer attended a terrac ing demonstration on the Wil liam Pierce farm near Weldon. N. C., last Thursday, Sponsored by the Universal "Equipment Com pany of Richmond, Va., and the Weldon Motor Company in coop eration with the Soli Conservation Service. The terraces were built with a Ford tractor using a Fur geson System, hyraulic lift, one disk plow. This outfit really worked on the sandy Halifax County soils and it is hoped that a demonstration can be worked out to se what it will do on the heavier soils of this County. . 11? H While in Halifax County last week the writer also attended a pulpwood thinning demonstration on the W. R. Anderson farm} Halifax, Route No. 1. This se lective cutting demonstration was sponsored by the Soil Conserva tion Service in cooperation with Mr. Anderson and the Halifax Paper Company. At the close of the demonstration those attend ing were taken on a tour of theli Halifax Paper Company plant at I Roanke Rapids. | H A good many farmers in the County have finished picking their cotton and have seeded small grain on the fields. It seems that throughout the County a whole more cotton has beeij/plck ed so far this fall than w?s pick ed last year by the first of De cember. 11? H Percy Bunn cut his kudzu meadoy strip for hay last week. 11?11 Mr. J. G. Liddell, Regional Chief of operations, Mr. R. Y. Bailey, Chief, Regional Agronomy Division, and Mr. E. B. Garrett, State Conservationist, all of the Soil Conservation -Service were visitors in the County last week. Mr. Bailey was particularly Inter ested in a good stand of Austrian winter peas and a field of crota larla on the C. O. Renn farm near MapleviUe. o It is estimated, that drought has cut the corn crop of Mexico by 20 per cent and all commer cial stocks of corn have been placed under Government control. ~ZT~nowT~ S'MORE FOR YOUR v MONET/ ENJOY A NAIRN TREADLITE FLOOR NOW !
