Agriculture In
North Carolina
Gl'Y A. CARDWELL,
General Agricultural Agent,
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company
In agriculture as in other vacations
it is necessary for men and
women to apply the knowledge
gained to the doing of the everyday
job.
In farming today, skill and apDlication
are neeued as never
before to support the high
standard of living to which we
lave attained; the highest of any
people of the present age, and
perhaps the highest of all times.
A.nd yet agriculture in this great
state is on the lowest level, the
crops stage. We are produts of
crude wealth and consumers of
finished pKjtHHSr
What we need is vertical farming.
First, the production of
crops; second, the production of
livestock; third, the production of
livestock products and the processing
of home grown food crops;
?nd fourth, the marketing of
these finished products in an
orderly manner.
Vertical farming and the solution
of the local problems are two
jreat economic necessities in North
Carolina this time.
There are few states possessed
cf the potential possibilities, agriculturally,
as is North Carolina,
rhe opportunity for a good living
-plus,- is here, if we will only
skillfuly and ever regetically attend
to the development of our
resources.
It was Daniel Webster who
said: "Let me develop tne resour
ces of our land, call forth its
powers: promote all of its gTcat
interests, to see whether we also,
in our day and generation, many
not perform something to be remembered."
In North Carrlina there is an
economic unbalance of agriculture,
which cannot be righted by
spasmodic action alone. A permanent
program must be worked out
on a every farm.
It has been suggested that our
problems are to wisely limit the
money-crop or crops acreage; to
support the favorite crop with
supplemenetary crops, to maintain
soil fertility; to produce food and
feed in abundance; and to balance
the farm operation with livestock
and poultry in order that labor
may be kept employed through.EA

Without intending to be unduly'

there are many things that can
be done on almost every farm in
the South to improve its earning
power. Among these I might mention
the development of game re[
sources for profit. A few landowners

ber and other forest products, and
that this attention to the woodlands
develops game resources
which can be made highly profitable
If given a little attention
and care.
Game development and conservation
is largely a matter of
applied common sense, and means
wise use rather than more restrictive
legislation.
All game requires proper cover,
proper food and protection from
its enemies. Given these plus a
rosnlte from shootlne at times
when the young animals and birds
are too small and Inexperienced
to look after themselves, game
will flourish and increase in close
proximity to cities of considerable
size.
The Cotton Belt should have
more small herds of beef cattle.
Beef cattle are usually well adapted
for using the by-products of
cotton production, such as stalks,
cottonseed meal and cottonseed
hulls, and also legumes grown
primarily to enrich the soil.
The cotton planter should grow
more legumes, such as cowpeas,1

ly one of plucking them off th<
s of the plant to force the leav
soybeans, velvet beans, lespedza, ti
crimson clover and peanuts in <ji
order to maintain and increase r,
the productivity of the soil. These
crops make excellent hay, and also
improve soil fertility. When
the legumes mature it is unnecessary
to plow them under in order j
to enrich the soil; they may be J
fed to livestock and the manure
applied to the fields. About 80%
of the fertilizing value of feeds
may be returned to the soil in
the form of manure. Under aver- ,
age conditions liberal applications
of manure will increase cotton
yields about 25%.
Cattle can be raised in the j
Cotton Belt most advantageously
by using pasture during late j
spring, summer and fall, and |
wintering them on the legume
hays, along with non-legume
roughages, such as cotton seed
hulls, corn stover, silage and
stubble pasturage, and such concentrates
as cotton seed meal and
velvet beans. Winter grazing can
be engaged in some sections by
sowing Aburuzzi Rye and barley".1
Where corn and velvet beans are (
grown together, the cattle can be
turned into the field to do their
own harvesting after the corn
has been gathered
Steers can be fattened successfully
by using cottonseed meal
and hulls, peanut meal and peanut
hay, blackstrp molasses, velvet
beans, soy beans, cowpeas,
lespedeza and corn. In feeding legumes
grown for soil enrichment
the labor of harvesting may often
be eliminated by grazing
them.
Regardless of present government
aid, the farmer will eventually
have to work out his own
salvation; possibly not alone, as
in the past, but as a member of
a group or class working together
intelligently and skillfully.
To attain success the farm-factory
must be operated twelve
months in the year. Only by the
observance of such can cotton, tobacco,
peanut and truck crop
farmers expect to increase farmincome
sufficiently to support I
present day standards.
As a meeting of the Southeastern
Council, held in Atlanta,
March 9 10, last year a slogan
"The South Will Come Into Its
Own When Own Its Fields Are
Green In Winter" was adopted
in connection with the following
resolution:
"The Southeastern Council endorses
and recommends the crops
outlined in the Soil Conservation
Allotment program as soil building
crops. We especially recwnmend
the use of crimson clover,
and, as alternate, Austrian peas
and vetch as winter legumes, and
lespedeza, soybeans and cowpeas
as summer legumes. On light,
sandy soils, crotalaria for soil Improvement.
For erosion and gully
control, and for soil improvement,
we strongly recommend Kudzu.
"We further recommend, where
winter legumes are not practical,
or not used, that every effort be
made to have a green winter
cover crop of small grain on
every cultivated acre. These
changes, we believe, will rebuild
Southern Agriculture."
Hogging Down Corn: Cash crop
farmers in Coastal Plain North
Carolina have made remarkable
progress during recent years in
breeding and feeding hogs for
shipment to packing-house markets.
In this connection the following
management suggestions
are offered when hogging off
corn:
1. The corn should be sufficiently
mature to be in the glazed
stage when the pigs are turned
into the field. Soft corn has a
tendency to scour pigs.
2. Hogging off corn is a fattening
process and it is advisable
to use pigs for this purpose
that will be finished when the!
corn is cleaned up. Spring pigs
with growthy frames and weighing
100 to 125 pounds when turned
in the field give best results.
3. Corn when fed alone does
