Bushels Inside
HAD PLENTY OF HAY p
FOR THE PURPOSE t
N
Made About 135 Tons Of c
Lespedeza in Addition to >
Large Acreage Harvested
For Seed
h
M. C. Gore, one of the most t
progressive farmers in Brunswick a
county has hit upon a novel but o
highly efficient method of curing a
his enormous sweet potato crop. 1F
He is now curing 3,400 bushels of r
this crop in his large feed barn.!
Not all of his eggs are in one
basket as he has a iarge quantity j
of potatoes that are being hand- i
led by methods other than the
above.
His feed barn where the three!
thousand four hundred bushels! 1
are now undei going a three or
four weeks curing process, has
been lined with bales of lespedeza j
hay, stacked closely to the roofj
of the building. This provides!
natural warmth and as a supplementary
aid oil stoves are al-(
ways ready to be litup and hold jM
the temperature of the potatoes1 ii
to* 75 degrees. This is considered 10
the proper heat to maintain when i
potatoes are in the curing pro- j ^
cess. 11)
For the folks who may get the, t
idea that it takes an awful lot ^
of baled lespedeza, or any other e
kind of hay, to build walls around j
3,400 bushels of potatoes, it may 0
be mentioned that Mr. Gore prod- i ?
uced around 135 tons of lespedeza' v
hay this year. Storing it around j
his feed barn and leaving inside j 0
space for the curing of the sweet a
potatoes only took a small frac- ?
tion of his hay crop. v
On his fine farm near Long- a
wood Mr. Gore has recently blown p
out a large canal about one mile
long. He is now engaged in blow- .
ing out ditches leading to this I
canal, the object being drainage
for sonje of his lowland. The use
of 'uynrir^te for the blowing out
of this canal and ditches has been
found to be a much more effici- .
ent method than using machinery i
and labor. In fact, Mr. Gore hasj
been finding it impossible to get i
labor for drainage operations.

A little over a year ago the
Ken Benson road and moving picture
show exhibited at Shallotte.
Usually the show held forth for
a week at each stopping point.
At Shallotte, however, the patronage
was fine. Getting gas and
transporting around both presented
problems, so Mr. Benson set
up his large tent permanently and
has been giving Shallotte folks
and people from surrounding territory
pictures every night except
Sunday.
Saturday Mr. Benson said that
as soon as priorities and labor
conditions permit he plans to build
a regular theatre. He has definite
plans for staying at Shallotte and
in addition to giving the public
good shows his aim is to have a
building where such shows may
be enjoyed in greater comfort.
Proper Care Of
Cows Important
During Off Season There Is
Tendency_ To Neglect
Faithful Family Cow, uui
Proper Attention Pays
Dividends
At this season of the year
when farmers are busy providing
Christmas cheer for their families
and friends, that old and ever
faithful friend, the family cow,
should not be overlooked. Her desires
are few and she is very appreciative,
but because of her
gentle and long suffering disposition
she is often neglected. Some
cows are left out in the open on
rainy, disagreeable days while
others are unduly exposed during
cold weather in open sheds that
are not sufficiently bedded.
"During December and throughout
the winter there is nothing
that the cow will enjoy more
than a comfortable place in which
to stay," says John Arey, Extension
c.airyman at State College.
"This comfort can be secured
through a clean, well bedded stall
or lounging shed, which is free
of cold air currents. Such housing
need not be expensive. It
can be acquired by any dairyman

Service
F. C. Henneberger, of Burgaw, li
representing the U. S. Forest Ser- 9
vice in this district, has released
some timely matter relative to X.;
seasonal activity witn tne wood- jj,
lands. Mr. Henneberger said in an
interview this week:
"The end of the farm harvest JJ
season marks the beginning of
another season where profitable jr
activity may begin in farm wood,
lands throughout the area. Farm- a
ers who have been busy for the
past weeks getting tobacco, cot- / fl
? ton, peanuts and other crops and %
, own woodlots can now devote Q
their spare time to profitable ad- 4?
vantage cutting timber, pulpwood ?
and other wood products that will
- bring in extra cash and more important,
aid greatly in the final
push toward final victory over
? , Axis aggressors.
"War needs for woods products
j continue to be critical and no war
I worker is more vital than those* j:
s[ engaged in forest production. The J
" continued need for vast supplies
3 of lumber and wood products for
3jour Army and Navy in the Eu"(ropean
theater, the stepped up ac? fl
s tion in the Pacific theater of the
f war and the enormous needs of
- lumber for those people in the w!
liberated countries adds up to i
ei woods products demand that will m j
If continue to strain every produc- J
- tion facility at our disposal. S
t "This need can be met only by ,4 j
r strenuous efforts or our farmerj .?
, to utilize the time they now have
y to produce raw materials from B
, their woodlands. Those regularly
engaged in production of lumber,
pulpwood and wood products are
^ doing a splendid job under severer
e | equipment and labor shortages H
0 but they need the farmers help
e 1 and need it now.
r "There are three distinct pur- fl!
? posts to be served by getting into
the woods now. (1) A great
^ and needed service can be render- E'
n ed to our fighting forces now who sr
r 'are doing a splendid job. (2) Added

j work and wages on or near the
I farm which is important as any B

? home. B
| "The stated needs of just two
Pj woods products for this year will
? serve to emphasize the gravity of
this situation; 36 billion board ^B
? | feet of lumber are needed this
year; 17 billion feet for shipping BI
boxing, crating and dunnage; 35 HI
