i Expert
Unmarketable sweet potatoes i
may be fed to dairy cattle with j'
I excellent results, says R. H. Ruff- ]
iner, head of the animal hus
bandry department at State col- i
lege. 1
| Both the tubers and the vines 1
j make a good, palatable feed
[which will produce milk and but- i
| ter of high quality.
But livestock men can afford :
j to feed only cull potatoes or I
; those which cannot be marketed 11
J for human consumption at a fair- j
j ly good price, Ruffner pointedj 1
I out. j I
Sweet potatoes contain about 1
[ one-fourth the total feed value [
j of an equal weight of corn. Con- i
sequently, dairymen cannot afford '
1 to allow more than one-fourth j j
: the price of corn for the sweet <
I potatoes. 11
Sweet potatoes may be fed to ]
cows in place of corn silage. !
Since there are 25 pounds of di- 1
gestible nutrients in 100 pounds 1
of potatoes, while an equal weight !
of silage contains only 17 pounds, |
the cows will not need as much <
potato feed as silage. i
When sweet potatoes are fed,
the cows should also get eight to, i
ten pounds of legume hay to! i
balance the ration, as potatoes i
contain mostly starch and sugar, c
Ruffner stated.
From 25 to 30 pounds of pota-j i
toes a day may be fed the aver- ]
age cow, but it is advisable to I <
feed only five to ten pounds a <
day at the start. The quantity i
may be increased gradually as the i
cows learn to eat the roots. i
The sweet potato vines may be i
grazed off by the cows, or they s
may be pulled and fed in the t
barn. Each cow can consume f
from 30 to 40 pounds of vines a I
day. Do not allow them to eat c
more than this amount, Ruffner t
; added. j C

THE S
Time To Plant 1
Winter Gardens
September Is Main Planting
Month For Fall And Winter
Gardens In Eastern
North Carolina
September is the main planting
month for the fall and winter
garden in Eastern North Carolina.
It is now too late for plantings
of most tender crops, so attention
should be concentrated on
the hardier kinds.
Head lettuce is usually hard to
grow as a fall crop, but is worth
trying. Strong plants should be
ready for setting early in the
month if heads are to be produced
before freezing weather. Lettuce
requires sunny days, cool
nights, a fertile soil and an abundance
of water for the production
of hard heads.
Kale gives a welcome change
from collards and turnip greens.
The two types most commonly
grown are Siberian and Green
curled Scotch. Siberian kale is
quite hardy, and will withstand
rather severe freezing. The Curled
Scotch varieties are not quite so
tiardy, but they are more attractive
in appearance and are considered
of better quality by some
gardeners. Planting of kale in |
;arly September should produce I
i good supply of fall greens.
Mustard is an old standby that j
should not be neglected. Make j
successive plantings every two |
.veeks until the middle of October.
Spinach is too often neglected
n the average farm garden. Des- <
site the fact that it is very ten-1
ler when cooked, spinach is j
juite hardy. Plants which have j
-eached a size of 2 or 3 inches
n diameter will stand severe
Teezing, especially if protected :
fom heaving. A light mulch of
strawy manure will afford pro- :
;ection and at the same time j i
urnish plant food. Make the first
)lanting early in September and 1
iontinue at intervals of two or I
hree weeks until the middle of 1
October. !

Should Care For
Bees This Fall
Value Of Next Year's
Honey Crop Largely Dependant
On Care And
Management Given Bee
Colonies During The Fall
The value of next year's honey
crop is largely dependent upon
the care and management given
the bee colonies this fall.
If the colonies are carried
through the fall and winter in
good shape, they will be ready
for heavy production in the
spring, said Frank B. Meacham,
entomologist at State College.
Give all colonies a thorough j
examination in September, he ur-1
ges beekeepers, and pay careful
attention to the condition of the |
The turnip is the standard root|
crop for fall planting. Plant Pur- i
pie Top Globe and Seven Tops
the first week in the month. Broccoli
Salad is a good substitute
for the Seven Tops variety. Early
varieties such as Purple Top
Strap Leaf and White Milan will
usually make edible roots when
planted as late as the 15th or
20th of the month.
Radishes are a welcome addition
to the fall vegetable menu.
High quality depends on rapid
and continuous growth. Many of
the small round varieties will
mature in four or five weeks, j
The winter varieties require a
growing season of 60 to 80 days.
For early green onions next
spring, plant sets of White Pearl
or Yellow Potato during the latter
part of the month. For a
crop of large bulbs next summer, j
many growers sow the seed in!
outdoor beds the last week in
September and transplant to the
field in December, January, or
February. In the milder coastalj
areas transplanting may be done j
in December or early January.
Sow cabbage seeds in outdoor |
beds during the last week in
September or the first week in I
October and transplant as suggested
for onions.

queen, amount of honey, number
of bees, and space for brood j j
rearing and nectar storage. ) \
Young bees are best, since they ) (
produce a large amount of brood j j
in August, September, and part jj
of October. Bees produced at j j
this time are the ones which sur- j j
vive the winter. j j
Three-banded or leather color- j j
ed Italian queens, which can be j j
purchased for 50 cents from re-') j
liable breeders, are most desira- j) {
ble, Meacham stated. Replace all | j [
queens over a year old, or black j j ;
and failing queens. j |
A colony which does not con- j) J
tain the equivalent of two or [ j j
three Hoffmaan frames full of j
brood on September 1 is hardly j
worth wintering by itself. Often j (
such colonies are not able to sur- j) (
vive the winter. j
Weak colonies can be united') J
with strong ones by placing them j j
together with a sheet of news- j j
paper between. By the time the ) j
bees eat holes through the paper, ) j
they will have become acquaint- )
ed %vith one another and will not ) j
fight. j
Golden rod, aster or iron weed, ) (
and heartease or smartweed in ) j
many sections of the state will ) |
yield a few pounds of honey in } j
the fall. This may be added to ) I
the winter feed supply, placed on } !
the market, or transferred to col- )!
onies whose food is short, Meach- ! (
am pointed out.
