If; Say Temporary Grazing Crops Seeded In Early Fall Furnish Cheapest Food Dairymen should plan to extend the grazing season from the usual 5 or 6 months to at least 8 or 9 months through the use of extra temporaiy grazing crops, says John A. Arcy, in charge of Extension dairying at State College. Experience has shown that these grazing crops not only give increased milk production with less labor but they also help the animals produce milk at a much cheaper cost per pound, since the animals harvest their own feed. Grazing crops planted by September 1 will provide ample grazing by the middle of October, if the land is given a rather heavy seeding and plenty of fertilizer is used, according to Arey. "If it is a fairly open winter, these fields can be grazed with reasonable regularity during the winter months," he says. "Regardless of how much grazing can be obtained from December through February, full grazing can be expected by March 1 and the grazing period will last until May 15 or June 1, depending on conditions." Arey suggests the use of about 3 bushels of oats, barley, oi? lye per acre, together with Italian rye grass and crimson clover, so as to obtain a thick sod. He says that wheat should not be included in the mixture because the Extension entomologist has shown that the early seeding of wheat builds up an infestation of the Hessian fly to damage later plantings of wheat.

These roads are as follows: From New Hope church, near Winnabow, to where it will intersect with No. 17 at a point near Sandy Potter's home. From Longwood to Little River Road, this stretch being approximately three and a half miles in length. From the Gause Landing road to Harry Summersett's Fishery, this stretch being one half mile in length, according to the description. The board ordered that the sum of $519.45 be taken from the Surplus Fund and paid to the State Department of Conservation and Development as Brunswick's part of the fire control costs for the year. The above matters and minor tax matters occupied the attention of the body while in session Monday. The jury list for the September court was drawn, this list being published elsewhere in the paper. Warehouse Scales In Good Condition All Scales, Trucks And Baskets Checked By N. C. Department Of Weights And Measures All warehouse scales in this tobacco belt have been checked and found to be in good balance and condition, according to H.

A careful check will be made of all scales at least once each week throughout the belt, Mr. Hood stated. This is done for the protection of the farmer, the warehouseman and the tobacco company, he continued. All weighers in the belt are licensed by the state and are under Mr. Hood's supervision. Farmers Report On Free Spring Grazing Pasture E STj A Gooc \GES TODAY ir Or Nips Fine Results From Drainage Of Wet Lands Brunswick Soil Conservationist Makes Report On Some Of Activities Of First Year MAJOR PROBLEM OF BRUNSWICK COUNTY Number Of Cooperators Planning To Lay Tile Drains On Th6ir Farms This Fall And Winter i> x jl,il,ivvh Soil Conservationist From time to time news items I have appeared in this paper con. cerning the Lower Cape Fear j Soil Conservation District of ' which Brunswick County is a part. Some of you have heard [the district and its program discussed in educational meetings. Quite a number of you have had the work explained to you personally by the writer. However, the district has been operating only one year, and there are still many farmers in the county who have not had an opportunity to become familiar with the program and the assistance which the district is giving farmers in solving their soil conj servation and land use problems. I As soon as the district was organized the supervisors applied to the Soil Conservation Service, !of the U. S. Department of Agrij culture, for assistance in carryjing on their work. The Soil ConI servation Service agreed to asI sist the supervisors by employing J trained agricultural workers in each county of the district to asjsist farmers in developing farm) ! plans and in establishing prac- j j tices. Assistance has been given; ! to 30 farmers, to date, in de-1 veloping farm plans and several1 of these farmers have already j started to making the improvements and establishing the conservation practices outlined in their farm plans. The writer plans to use this paper from time to time to report I what cooperating farmers are I planning to do, and what they are actually doing about their! .soil conservation problems. | For instance, one farmer was assisted in planning and establish-1 ing a drainage system on part | of his farm last spring which j .v.. fV,?

Fred Mintz of Shallotte spent about $250 laying terra cotta drain tile in the lower end of a| tobacco field and states that he I has already been benefited to the j amount of $600. Mr. Mintz says; that the areas where tile was | laid were the wettest parts of the field and tobacco usually j drowned on these areas even in! years of normal rainfall. This [year the tile drained these areas | so that the tobacco stood up, while adjoining areas not tiled flopped badly. Several other coopcrators had I planned to lay some tile this spring but because of delay in j getting the tile and shortage of j labor, they were not able to get | | it in. However, they arc making ' : plans to install it this fall, j Drainage is one of the major problems in our county. Most farmers have wet spots or areas which should be drained by some ; method. Quite often this wet I land is some of the richest land (on the farm but is of little value unless properly drained. Many of these wet areas can be drained with tile, thus eliminating the ]open ditches, which take up | valuable land and are expensive j to maintain. Farmers interested in getting I assistance from the soil conserva-1 tion district should make applica-j (Continued on Page 4) Coast Guard Picks Seaman Up At Sea A Coast Guard plane of the Air Sea Rescue Task Force, piloted by Ensign F.

ED EVERY WEDNESDA1 Exceed e Period es Satisfy j ? .*' All Columbus County Mar kets Report Heavy Sales With Prices Ranging At Or Near Ceiling FARMERS EXPRESS SATISFACTION Heavy Sales Are Reported Throughout Both North Carolina And South Carolina Markets Tobacco farmers of Columbus county and the entire Border Belt turned hundreds of thousands of pounds of the golden weed into crisp new greenbacks last week as weed sales throughout the belt were reported fur in excess of sales during the same period last year and prices averaged around the $44.50 ceiling prices set by the OPA. General satisfaction was ex- I pressed by the farmers with only J occasional instances of turned I tickets. I During1 the first three days of I the 1945 tobacco marketing sea- I son the Whiteville Tobacco Mar- I ket sold almost two million I pounds of tobacco. This volume I is practically double the first I three days of the 1944 season. The I tobacco sold slightly higher I in spite of the fact that there I was some damage to the crop I from excessive rains. The top I price paid for tobacco during tho I first three days was 50c. Many I baskets moved at 48c and 49 1 cents. I Actual sales in Whiteville for I the first 3 days of the market I were 1,831,501 pounds as com- I pared to last year's amount for I the same period of 980,596 I pounds, according to M. B. Kib- I ler, Jr., Supervisor of sales. I Sales Supervisor Clyde Town- I send of the Fair Bluff market I reported that the four Fair Bluff I warehouses had sold $570,518 I pounds for an average of $45.06. I This represented more than twice I the amount sold during the same I period last year. I Reports from the Chadbourn I and Tabor City markets indicated I the same trend, with both mar? I kets selling far above the sales I last year at an average of from I slightly under to slightly above I ceiling. I Heavy sales for ail points on I the North and South Caroline I border belt tobacco markets, were reported by the United States and I North Carolina Departments ol I Agriculture. Gross sales for thl I opening week, which consisted ol I three days, amounted to 19,699,- I 198 pounds. I The week's average was $44.04 I per hundred as compared with I the $43 average record for the I lour opening nays iaai ycai wuut 13,661,192 pounds were sold. Practically all better quality offerings in all groups showed In- , creases of $1 and $2 while lower qualities ranged from $2 to 111. Green lugs and nondescript displayed greater gains, increasing from J4 to $11 per hundred. The bulk of offerings was sold between $44 and $46 with practi- \ cal top $48 for good lemon cut tcrs. A very small quantity of tobacco sold under $40. Increase of 6,029,006 pounds sold this year was partly attributed to increased rate of sales from 360 to 400 piles per hour. The general quality of offerings was slightly inferior to last year's fine crop becousc of a smaller proportion 01 cnoice to goon qualities and a larger percentage of fair and low qualities.
