Railroad Co. Drought conditions may have cut the grazing possibilities of pastures on your farm and prevented the seeding of summer grazing crops. If such is the case it is suggested that you get ready to plant quick growing crops such as pearl millet and Sudan grass as soon as moisture conditions permit. Sudan grass can be seeded before July 1st at the rate of 40 nnunrls of seed Der acre and eraz ing can be had from 40 days after seeding until frost. Pearl or cattail millet is a hot weather plant and can be seeded any time from early season through July. Thirty to forty pounds of seed per acre may be broadcast. If seeded with a grain drill or planted in rows 20 to 224 inches apart, 20 pounds should answer your purpose. Millet is usually ready to graze within from 4 to 6 weeks after seeding. It will furnish controlled grazing when the plants are 8 to 12 inches high. Allow the cow to graze 30 minutes after each milking. increasing the time gradually as growth permits until the cows are allowed on the millet long enough to get a good "fill". These temporary pastures may also be planted for hogs. Alternate rows of either Sudan grass or millet, and Biloxi soybeans will furnish excellent grazing for sows and their litters as well as for growing pigs. It is a little late for soybeans but if planted ihortly this crop, with millet or Sudan grass, will furnish a lot of grazing. If Biloxi soybeans are mixed with cane, Japanese seeded ribbon variety (sometimes called Texas seeded ribbon) planted in alternate rows at the rate of one-third soybeans to two-third cane, this mixture makes excellent silage, practically equal to corn silage. The quick growing crops referred to, if planted soon, may save you and your stock from a shortage of feed. GOVERNOR BROIJGHTON WILJLSPEAK AT 4-H SHORT COURSE Governor J. M. Broughton will make his first appearance at an innual State 4-H Short Course when he speaks on the Achievement Day program of the rural ^uth meeting at N. C. State College on August 1. The 1941 l-H Short Course will open on Monday, July 28, and continue through Saturday morning, August 2. L. R. Harrill, State 4-H Club leader, and Miss Frances MacGregor, assistant State leader, predict that more than 1,000 Poys and girls will attend. Last rear's short course attracted 990 youths and club leaders from 96 counties. "We are hoping that every one of North Carolina's 100 counties will be represented this year," Harrill laid. FARMERS ARE TOIJD HOW TO REDUCE 'BAD EGGS' A bad egg is just a good egg "tone wrong, says T. T. Brown, Extension poultry specialist of N. C. State College, "but when 175 miltion dozen eggs go bad? is they do each year in the United States?that's something to worry about", he added. Brown said that the way to prevent this tremendous egg loss s to follow good production methods on the farm, and good methods of handling eggs from the nest to the consumer. The , jouRrymen gives some suggestions on how producers can han- > lie their flocks and eggs to help nit down this loss, and save food < lor defense. (1) Keep strong, heatthy, ( rigorous hens and care for them : properly, (2) produce infertile | igge after the hatching season i s over, (3) gather eggs at least i twice a day in cool weather and l lot less than three times a day i n hot weather, (4) keep eggs 1 riean and In a cool fairly moist < place, and (5) market eggs fre- < NEWS ' ISLAND VISITORS Among the visitors to Bald Head this past week were Dr. and Mrs. Ferman McLarty of Durham; Mr. and Mrs. J.

LEMON AT ORTOAT Visitors who saw the beautiful ripe lemons at Orton Plantation last fall and winter will have an opportunity to see the real thing in lemon growing this summer and fall.

VISITING RELATIVES Mr. and Mrs. Fred Covington of Jacksonville, Fla., are arriving this week to spend several days with Mrs. Covington's mother, Mrs. Myme Moore. Miss Mary Florence Moore, who has been visiting them for the past three weeks, is returning with them.

He enlisted sometime ago and was called last week while working in Philadelphia.

State Welfare Grants Increase Public Assistance Payments Sh?w Nearly Half Million Dollars Increase For This Year Public assistance payments for the fiscal year ending June 30 were (627.340 higher than the previous year, Nathan H. Yelton, director of the division of the state welfare department handling old age and dependent children funds, said this week. For 1940-41 the total paid farm federal, state and local funds was $6,416,528 as against $5,168,188 spent last year. Of the 1940-41 amount, *470,177 went to needy old people over 65 years of age, of whom 37,734 received checks averaging 310.19 out of the $384,385 distributed in this category in June. Last year total old age assistance payments amounted to 14179,207. The June figures for old age assistance included payments averaging $25.52 and amounting to a total of $15,029 going to 589 widows of Confederate veterans who had met public assistance requirements and had been transferred from the State pension rolls. In June, 23,733 dependent children received an average payment of $7.06 in the total spent for the month of $167,505. Total payments to children during the fiscal year amounted to $1,940,351, up considerably from the $1,608,981 spent during fiscal 1939-40. Fifty-five counties shared in the $119,564 spent from the equalization fund aet up to aid local units whose tax assessment of ten cents on the $100 property valuation was insufficient to meet the county's share of expenditures. The fund paid three-fourths of the extra money necessary to meet the county expenditure. In the equalizing fund $83,171 went for old age assistance leveling, and $36,393 was allowed to aid to dependent children. AB funds are made up jointly by federal, state and local units, the national government oontribquently. In marketing eggs, Brown recommends that aU cracked, dirty and very small or very large eggs be sorted out. Eggs should not be washed. They should be packed when cool?never with the animal heat in them?and they should be packed with the large end up. Egg quality is essential for better prices, and selling on a quality or graded basis encourages production of better eggs.
