Plans To Spend
Vacation Here
Here a couple of days last
week, Paul Kelly, Assistant Director
of the Department of Conservation
and Development, liked
his visit so much that he has
written W. B. Keziah that he
hopes to spend his vacation here
in the late summer or early fall. ]
Mr. Kelly said he hoped to put
in one day going out on one of
the menhaden boats, another with
some of the shrimpers and still
a third with some blue boat. This |
was provided the boatmen would
put up with a landlubber.

A million tons more agriculral
lime were applied to farm

in 1936 and 1937 than during

Increasing their limings as a

tons of ground limestone during
the first two years of the program,
said E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive
officer at State College.
During the 1929-1935 period 600,000
tons were applied.
The tonnage used in the region
has not yet been calculated by
individual States, he continued,
but preliminary reports indicate
that Tar Heel farmers increased
their limings more than
growers in the other States.
Just the same, North Carolina
farmers need to apply much more
lime to their acid soils to improve
| their productivity, and Floyd is
; urging them to make every effort
to carry out all the practices
to meet their soil-building
goal so they can qualify for the
full amount of their agricultural
conservation payments. Applying
lime and phosphate are among
the recommended practices.
He pointed out that in an experiment
with an untreated pasture,
46 pounds of beef were produced
per year by each acre, and
at the end of five years only 10
| percent of the desirable grasses
; and legumes remained. But a limed
and phosphated pasture produced
128 pounds of beef per
acre per year and after five
years 99 percent of the desirable
grasses and legumes were growing
luxuriantly.
Old Bossy Needs
A Balanced Diet
Dairy Specialist Says A
Good Cow Deserves The
Best Of Feed And Care
The old family cow has taken
a lot of abuse in her time and
kept on producing milk for her
master, but she can do a much
j better job when she gets enough
| of the right things to cat.
, A good cow not only cuts down
on the household food bill, but*
she contributes much to the
'health and general well-being of
the family, said John A. Arey,
extension dairy specialist at State
College. She deserves the best of
feed and care.
A cow has a huge stomach
and a tremendous capacity for
converting feed into milk. On
full feed, she will use about half
the nutrients in her feed to maintain
her own bodyweight. The
rest she converts into milk and
butterfat.
When her rations are cut down
her milk production falls off, she
loses weight, and she goes drier
sooner than normal. A cow will
often give milk when she really
needs to use the full amount of
a scant feed supply to supply her
own body.
In the course of a year, an
average-size farm cow needs 18
bushels of corn, 13 bushels of
oats, 600 pounds of cottonseed
meal, two tons of hay, and one
to two acres of good pasture.
The hay should be of good quality,
and the pasturage should be
a good growth of grasses or legumes.
Winter pastures of rye
and crimson clover or of wheat,
barley, oats, and crimson clover
are good for supplementing the
dry feed.
Three or more different feeds,
say 500 pounds of corn meal, 300
pounds of cottonsead meal, and
200 pounds of ground oats or
