I' PAGE fi Pastures Require Strict Attention jj! Cardwell Advises Farmers On Ways To Keep Pastures In Fine Shape For Grazing Of Livestock | Guy A. Cardwell, Agricultural Ac Industrial Agent, ' . A. I'. I,. Railroad Co. Much attention should be give,ri . to the management of pasttirps to keep them in a condition it* conserving the soil and furnishing grazing for livestock New pastures should not be grazdcj| until the growth is about foui ihrhes high. These pastures sholilt) be grazed lightly the first yia~: however, the growth s!ioiiljl be kept down to four inat all limes. Stock should tidt graze on pastures when the Ihpd is wet enough to damage ti*- turf. Avoid over-grazing oi liyitiires at all times. Stock IStfmild be removed from heavily jriieed pastures sufficiently earlW to allow a good cover before winter arrives. It is a good practice to provide a supplementary pasture of soybeans, cowpeas 01 siulan grass for use during the dry weather which often comes inflate slimmer and early fall Rye and oats may be used foi early spring grazing to supplement pastures and prevent overgrazing. All pastures should be toj dressed with fertilizer and ma nurc and on some soils lime should be applied occasionally An application of 200 to -10( ppunds of 1-10-4 or 4-12-1 fertili zer per acre is recommended fo' average or below average land On the better soils or on poorei soils that have had an applica tlon of manure, superphosphate should be used as the top dies sfcr. The frequency and amoun e* top elressing to use will van \itth conditions. The superphos iAate may be applied at the rat< or 400 to 800 pounels per aci\ every two or three years. When the complete fertilizer is used 200 to 100 pounds per acre sho ild he annlied every year. It ma' I become necessary at times t' apply additional seed in place, on a pasture. A complete mix turc may be needed on bar areas but usually it will b necessary to apply only thos varieties that are needed to sup plement the established sod. Pastures should be mowed a least once each summer to kcc down the weeds anil briars, i heavily stocked pasture shout have cattle droppings scattere onre or oftcncr during the graz ing season by running a harrov over it lightly.

Agricultural Industrial Agent, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. Tlic productivity of permanent, i hay fields should be maintained at all times in order to keep . sufficient vegetative growth on , the land for controlling erosion ' as well as for producing hay. The hay cut from these fields j will remove plant food, which ! should be replenished by appli- j cations of fertilizer and lime. 1 Areas where the growth is re' tarded and the stand thin will ' naturally require heavier applications of these materials. On fairly productive land applica' tions of 200 to 400 pounds of 2-10-4 or 2-12-4 fertilizer per ' acre, applied each year, or 600 pounds of superphosphate appli-, ' ed every two years, is suggested. ' On the less productive land 200 ' to 400 pounds of 4-10-4 or 4-12-4 fertilizer per acre is recommend ed. Poor spots in meadows, as in " pastures, are best remedied by applications of stable manure. Because of its value as a mulch, manure is especially beneficial > where additional seed is used to thicken the stand on severely ; eroded areas. The soil will de tcrmine to a large extent the ) need for applications of lime on hay fields. Where lime was ap" plied at seeding time, it may be several years before an additional al application will be needed. The proper use of lime and ? fertilizer will help in maintain ing a good stand of desirable t plants and thus keep down the t growth of weeds. However, it - may become necessary to clip - the weeds occasionally to keep ? them in check. J The hay should be cut at a . time and at a height that will - not impair the new growth. i Six upright silos have been s constructed by Buncombe County - farmers within the past few e weeks. e Rockingham County is boaste ing of an exceptionally good ~ lespedeza crop this season, with 1 practically all farms saving a t nice crop of hay. p Poultry diseases have just \ about died out in Union County (1 for the present time, and farmd ers report good production on laying flocks, v Judging from reports submittn ed to the county farm agent, g growers of Wilson County are c planting and planning to plant y more winter legumes than ever - before. By- products of the whiskey e industry include carbon dioxide, n which is converted into "dry ice," n and distillers' grains, which arc sold as cattle feed. 7 SEWN?., ?

Security Exhibit At Coastal Fair Facts Concerning The Workings Of Social Security Program Will Be Available To People A( Coastal Fair, Oct. 18-23 Wilmington. N. C., Octobei 18. 19.17. Nearly 21,000.000 jobs spread throughout every State and Territory of the Nation, are covered by approved unemployment compensation laws, facte about which will be available tc inquiries at the Social Securitj Board exhibit at the Coasta Fair, to be held here October li to 23.

Jeffrey, Manager oi the Wilmington, N. C? area Fiek Office, of the Social Securitj Board. Officers of the Coasta Fair invited the Board to plac< an exhibit at the fair becausi of the widespread interest in till Social Security program, and it' direct application to the indivi dual in the rural as well as th< urban areas. "North Carolina has joined will the other States, and Territoriei in the nationwide effort to com bat the distress caused by un employment which often is be yond the control of the individua employer, and the individua employee." Mr. Jeffrey said "Payment of compensation wil begin next January 1." North Carolina also has a plat for red to the needy aged whicl is approved by the Social Securi ty Board.

Thi brought the total Federal grant for old-age assistance as o August 1 to $171,044,691,47. Un der the Social Security Act enact cd by Congress Federal publi assistance funds may not b granted a State which has no adopted an approved plan for aid ing the needy aged among it citizens". POINTS OUT WAYS FOR REDUCING FARM RISK! j Diversification of crops an* ! livestock production are form I of insurance that help take th risk out of farming, said Prol Earl H. Hostetler, of State Col lege. Diversification of crops, h pointed out, means there will b less risk of losing heavily o one crop as a result of ba weather or low prices. Crop rotations make it pof sible for the farmer to' conserv and build up his soil so as t insure the future fertility of hi land. Livestock production provide an extra market for grain an other feed crops, encourage di | versification by creating a nee for home-grown feed, and suf ! plies manure that will add fert : lity to the soil.

ANSWER: Experimental work ' along this line indicates that 1 cottonseed meal cannot be used ' to replace all of the animal ' protein concentrates in the mash, but that it can be replaced not to exceed five percent of the total mash. There is a wide variation in toxicity, and feeding ' value of the cottonseed meals on 3 the market, and there is also a deficiency in minerals as comf pared with meat scraps, and fish r meal. It would be unwise to make ' any material change in the mash | especially if the birds are in lay. 3! QUESTION: Is it too late to seed crimson clover, oats, vetch, and Austrian Winter Peas? 3 ANSWER: The hest time for " seeding clover, vetch, and Austr3 ian winter peas is between September 15 and October 15, and for 1 oats between October 1 and Nov3 ember 1. The seed bed should be finely pulverized to a depth of three or four inches with very firm soil underneath. This will 1 help prevent freezing out of the ' crop. Put in the seed with a grain drill as this method of ' seeding gives a better stand than broadcasting. In seeding oats use 1 an open furrow drill as this will 1 also prevent excessive freezing. ( QUESTION: What is the best 3 method for curing meat on the 3 farm? ANSWER:. There are many " methods of curing meat, and 5 most of them are simply varia' tions of two principal methods ' the brine cure, and the dry salt ' cure. Common salt is the basis f of all meat curing, and is used R in varying amounts in all mes thods. Sugar is sometimes added * to give a better flavor, and also " j to counteract the action of the ' I salt by keeping the muscles soft, c where the salt alone makes them E hard. The recommended fort mulas for both the "brine cure" " and the "dry cure" are contains ed in Extension Folder No. 34, and copies may be had free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State College. 4 rl North Carolina, s Silage is the cheapest source e of nutrients, next to pasture, and F. it supplies stock and cattle with - a succulent feed during the winter months when fresh grazing e is scarce or not to be had at all. e he said. il The acreage to hairy vetch, Austrian peas and crimson clover in Washington County will be e increased by 200 acres over l;st o year, according to scedings now s about completed. s | Mrs. Josie Wright of the d Boadway Community in Harnett i- County has installed, at a cost d of less than $50, a hydraulic i- ram that is pumping 300 gallons i- of water into her home every 21 hours. i :e More than 1,200 Johnston i- County farmers have signed up i- to begin strip-cropping this fall. a. ,o Fourteen large dwelling houses n have been built in Moscow, Rusis sia exclusively for gipsies. j1 >r Locusts have been almost >r practically exterminated in South i- Africa by a new poison. d In Surry County to date, ordo, ers for more than 10,000 black lo locust seedlings have been ' made m by cooperating farmers.

C= Death Rate From This Disease Has Been Reduced Greatly In Past Two De cades; Is 100 Per Cenl Preventable Raleigh. Oct. 14?The deatl rate from typhoid fever in Nortl Carolina was reduced from 35.5 per 100,000 in 1914 to 2.1 it 1936, figures complied by thi State Board of Health show. But there should not be anj deaths from this disease, healt! officials say, because it is prac tically 100 per cent preventable During the period referred to the death rate in this state fron tuberculosis, formerly the "cap tain of killed," was reduced fron 139.3 to 60.0. J Physicians now know how t( I treat tuberculosis. They can tea ch people how to guard agains' it better than they could in form er times. Cancer, which is neither pre ventablc nor curable, has con .Untied its ravages, unconqucrcd while syphilis, curable hut no preventable, from a practica standpoint, is a raging epideniii in North Carolina and through out the civilized world, except it Norway, Sweden and Denmark. I is controllable and these coun tries have applied control nieth ods. The results have spoken foi themselves. Typhoid fever has been on tlv downgrade since the world war Tt was during that period tha' it was learned for a certainty that preventive methods were ef feetivc in fact as well as it theory. This was proven with out a doubt. In 1911 deaths fron typhoid fever in North Carolinr numbered 839. The total for 193' was only 71 for the entire State Tn no year since 1933 has thi number of deaths from typhoii " Pavnlinn l*rn<>hO(] 100 The last year the typhoii death rate was above 10 pel 100.000 was 1922, when it was 11.2. Since then, it has beer ; dropping in a very satisfactory manner. However. the victory over this disease will not havi been won, health officials say until vaccination and sanitatior have become universal. In 1914. there were 3,260 dea ths from tuberculosis in Nortf Carolina. Last year there wcr2,104, and in 1935 the total drop ped to 1,936. If typhoid fever were as pre valent as syphilis, or if the sami percentage of people were infect ed with tuberculosis as havi syphilis, consternation woulr reign, it was recently pointer out by Dr. Carl V. Reynolds State Health Officer, in an ap peal for the adoption of contro methods. If diphtheria were a; prevalent in the schools as syphi lis is among the people gener ally, the schools would, undoubt edl.v, be closed as an cmergenc; until inoculation could be carrier to a point where opening then again would be safe, one hcaltl official pointed out. However, it is gratifying t( note the downward trend ii typhoid fever incidence and dea i ths, also in tuberculosis. Th fight on these diseases, howcvci is far from finished.
