Of Interest To Randolph Farmers #* fig I J. M. Canoy Succeeds Ellis As Supervisor Rural Work Since the supervisor of Rural Re habilitation for Randolph county has fallen my lot, I feel it wise to notify the citizens of this county thru the columns of The Courier the aim3 and proposed working out of the Rural Rehabilitation program. This •will, it is hoped, serve two purposes. First, notify those qualified for re habilitation from week to week just what will be expected of them, and too, certain instructions to be fol lowed out; and second, it is hoped that misinformation, prevalent in past, will not so much continue. It will also serve as something citizens as a whole can follow from time to time revealing the intent of the government in its effort to help. The aims of this program are to restore confidence, increase and stabilize the family income; improve the home and community life of such clients, enabling them to be self sustaining and share in the pro fits and pleasures of their respec tive communities. Molasses Is Good Com Substitute In Rations For Cattle A moderate amount of cane mo lasses, or black strap, may be sub stituted for com in feeding dairy cat tle iwhen com prices are high, says John A. Arey, extension dairyman at State College. Although not as valuable, pound for pound, as corn meal, he says, the molasses will serve as well as com when a moderate amount is used and little or no difference will be seen in the milk flow. “In one feeding test,” he said, “we found that 4 4-5 gallons of mo lasses had the same milk producing value as a ibushel of shelled com, We also found that molasses acts as a tonic for the animals.” From a fourth to a third of a gal lon of molasses is the proper daily ration, Arey points out. Many dairy men find it advantgeous to give the animals one (pint at each feeding. When not too thick, it may be poured over the silage, grain, or hay. If |it is very thick, it may be diluted with water and then poured over the feed with satisfactory re sults. Molasses is palatable to cattle, he says, and will increase the animals’ appetite for (the feeds on which it is poured, particularly low grade roughage. GUERNSEY BREEDERS TO MEET NEAR GREENSBORO The North Carolina Guernsey Breeders Association will hold its annual meeting at the Sedgefield Inn, near Greensboro, on Tuesday, Febru ary 5, it was announced oy T.

Kime, Plant Breeder Issues Warning For Cotton Seeding Crop Indications are that North Caro lina’s cotton planting seed for this year is very poor, warns P. H. Kime, plant breeder at the N. C. Agricul tural Experiment Station. Some lots of seed are germinat ing less than 50 per cent, especially in the coastal plain area, according to reports from tests made recently. The damaged seed in the Piedmont area is not quite as bad, Kime says.

These mules are to be placed with deserving families who can strictly qualify under re habilitation rules and regulations. These mules (and other necessary equipment) are not to be given away, but are to be loaned with rehabilitation receiving a share of the crops; and sold outright giving approximately three years to pay for them. It is impossible to go into complete details in this article re garding the rules and regulations of procedure for securing mules and other necessary equipment. There fore those desiring complete infor mation relative to this matter will please call at my office in the old creamery building at Asheboro.

CANOY. due largely to the wet weather last September. Where cotton was open at that time some of the seed rot ted and some sprouted in the lock. Considerable damage also occurred while the damp seed was in stor age. i Planting seed of low germination results in uneven stands and low yields, he warns, and growers whose seed is (bad should arrange to buy seed of the standard varieties known to do well in this State. Those who have not,, given their seed the germination test should do so at once, Re urges, so that if ne cessary they may be able to get good seed in plenty of time for planting. BEEKEEPERS TO CONFER The eighteenth annual meeting of the North Carolina Beekeepers Association will be held in the Cham ber of Commerce hall at Charlotte, January 31, according to an announ cement by C. L. Sams, extension apiarist at N. C. State College. The program will include a discussion of problems of interest to beekeepers by M. G. Dadant, df Illinois, A. D. Hiett, of Virginia, H. J. Cary, of Norfolk, and other authorities. All beekeepers in North and South Carolina have been invited to attend the meeting. Southern Farmers Making Applications Production Credit Is Said To Provide Adequate, Dependable Credit And Save Other Borrowing. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 28.—Farmers of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia are (making their ap plications early to production credit associations, according to a state ment by the Production Credit Cor poration of Columbia. According to the statement some associations have already sent in ap plications for more loans than were made by the associations last year. Many of these applications are from old members of the associations but there are also many coming in from farmers who did not avail them selves of the credit service offered by the associations last year. Farmers who will need credit for crop production this year have been advised to get in their applications now so as to avoid the rush later. It costs the farmer nothing addition al to get his application approved now since he pays interest on the money only from the day he draws it out until he pays it back. Highest Yield? mj|OST cotton and corn growers In the South will envy the rec ords made last season by Mr. A. P. Johns of Toccoa, Georgia, pictured above. On an acre, of cotton 1 1-16 staple, he obtained a yield of 1,276 lbs. of lint and 2,394 of seed. The result was a net gain of 6165.38 on the acre. On his cotton, Mr. Johns used 400 lbs. of a 4-10-4 fertiliser at planting and side-dressed with 100 lbs. of American nitrate of soda. With the same application on an acre of corn, he made 159 bu. of Hastings Prolific at a net gain of 6140.65. Both demonstrations were con .- wg-raamsma ducted under the supervision of the American Cotton Association and Better Farming Campaign. Col. Harvie Jordan, Managing Director of the Association said that all of, the Association's results last sea son prove the value of intensive culture. "There are two things I’m sure of," Col. Jordan remarked, "And they are that we Southerners have to adopt intensive culture In the field and have to support our home industries. When I look at a result like this, made with our Own Southern nitrate of soda. I think we have a combination the whole world can't beat," South Awaits His Message I •' y V.' ... . I •< ACME NEWS SERVICE DR. CHARLES H. HERTY Although his topic will not be an nounced in advance, it is said that when Dr. Charles H. Herty addresses the meeting of Southern Agricultural Workers in Atlanta on January 31 he will have a message of utmost importance to the entire South. Many notables plan to attend the banquet at which Dr. Herty will speak. In addition, several “radio din ners” have been arranged through out the South for the purpose of hearing Dr. Herty's message. “The purpose of the production credit associations,” says the state ment “is not only to provide ade quate and dependable credit but also to help farmers save money through avoidance of unnecessary borrowing. There are two common mistakes about crop financing that cost farm ers money. One is to borrow in ad vance with resultant interest charges for the period before the money is put to work. The other is to wait until the last minute and not have funds with which to get cash dis counts when the com or cotton should be in the ground. The production credit associations should help farm ers avoid both these mistakes.” Frowns make wrinkles, smiles iron them out.

Florida, with her replanted crops Just coming Into hearing. Is now Wipfftf1*^ with i Moond Crust which State Farm Crops Increase Reported Almost Triple 1935 Raleigh, . Jan. 28.—Did you know that the value of farm crops was in creased in North Carolina from 104 million dollars in 1932 to 266 million dollars in 1934? This was nearer tripled than doubled. The percentage increase from 1932 to 1934 was greater in North Carolina than in any southern state. Are you familiar with the use of “basic farm statistics” in the suc cessful operation of control programs under the Agricultural Adjustment Administration ? I mean informa tion used as a measuring rod to in sure fair' Acreage and production al lotments to the counties and thus to individual farmers. Reliable farm statistics are like the surveyors’ rod in serving as a measure of farm con ditions. The most extensive agency for col lecting farm statistics is the Farm Census Survey. The law requiring this annual farm census was enacted in 1921. It has been steadily im proved in scope and quality. In 1934, it covered almost 95 per cent of the crop land of the entire state. This is the only southern state ob taining basic crop and livestock in formation from such an extensive survey. For continued safe planning of State, county and individual farm programs, ^yearly collection of de pendable individual farm information is essential. We know of no agency that provides as reliable and econo mical information as the farm sur veys now required through tax list ers. The annoyance or inconveni ence to farmers and listers is far more than offset by the many ad vantages available. As the recognized “farm” leader of your county, you have a double pri vilege, You are responsible for your community as well as your own in terests. You must now appreciate the basis of the farm relief pro gram. That is why these sheets are being sent to you. Other sheets to follow promptly concern the “Neces sity,” “Reliability” and “Values” of the Farm Census Surveys of your county. Safer farming and greater welfare are dependent on such es sential information. We would have no county figures otherwise. Women, like chickens, have less on when dressed.

County Agent Annual Meeting Guernsey Association Next Tuesday, February 5th, the North Carolina Guernsey Breeders Association will hold their annual meeting at Sedgefield Iim. The meeting will be oalled to order at 11:00 a. m. This will be an important meet ing, election of officers and plans made for the coming year, such matters as holding an annual sale, field day iand other matters will be decided. There will also be an interesting speaking program by officials of the association and others, giving us a picture of the dairy situation throughout the county at this time. I hope every Guernsey breeder possible will attend this meeting. If you see that you can go, please drop a card to T. H. Anthrim, Box 335, Durham, N. C., so that he can re serve a plate for you at the lunch eon. If others are going with you, reserve plates for as many as plan on going. Deep River Soil Erosion I want to again call your atten tion to the importance of getting your farm signed up, as soon as pos sible. I am sure that every man in the area realizes the importance of water control, and plans to co-operate with the work, but has simply been putting the matter off. The thing I want to stress is the fact that you might put it off too long. Representatives of the work who have been in my office during the past week, state that it is only a matter of time until they are going to move all contract men out of the area, I am anxious for every man to get his farm lined up be fore this happens. Every farmer in the area has an opportunity to get this work done free of cost, and at the same time get lime and seed for his farm also free. Certainly no one could ask for more. At the present time farmers in several counties, who are not in the Government areas, are signing up to have this work done at a cost of around $2.00 per acre, for the ter race work alone, not to count the benefits to be derived from the free lime and clover seed, and the advice of the specialists who visit your farm and assist in working out crop ro tations and other farm problems. In Guilford county they havai more than 2000 acres lined up for this work, where they plan to pay Tor it themselves. Surely if they can af ford to pay for this work to get it done, that we can afford to accept it as a gift. If there is anything about the work that you do not understand, if you will call at this office I twill be glad to talk it over with you, or if you will write the High Point office they will send a man out to see you and go over it with you. Treat Tobacco Seed Every tobacco farmer should be sure to treat his seed this year be fore seeding; The treatment is very simple and may mean the difference between crop failure and success. The treatment is simply this: Take one tablespoon full of formalin or formaldehyde in one pint of water. Allow the seed to soak in the so lution for exactly 10 minutes, then take out and wash through several washings of water or until all odor of the formaldehyde is gone. Then spread the seed out to dry in some warm place where they will not freeze. Under the cook stove is a good place. If you cannot do this, and iwill bring your seed to the office, I will be glad to treat them for you. Either bring them or send them by someone coming and you can get them later, as we try to treat several lots at the same time. Let me urge you to have this work done, for tobacco will in all pro bability not bring the price it did last year and the man who has good tobacco will be the man who re ceives the price for it. The largest room in the world is the room for improvement. Relieves Headache Due To Constipation # “Tliedford’s Black-Draught has been used in my family for yearn,” writes Mrs. J. A.

C. State QUESTION: Should scratch feed for chickens be fed in hoppers or in the litter? ANSWER: There is some diver gence (of opinion on this matter, but for sanitary reasons it is ad visable to feed scratch in hoppers. Under ordinary conditions, litter is not changed frequently enough and quickly becomes polluted with cocCida worm eggs and possibly disease pro ducing bacteria. Every practice that reduces the .possibility of the birds ingesting such material is to be com mended: hence hopper feeding. QUESTION: What is a good me thod for preparing a tobacco seed bed? ANSWER: Select a southeast ex posure well protected from cold winds. Loamy soil not easily, affected by excessive dryness or moisture is best. Sterilise the soil with steam if Com-hog growers in Hyde county are ready to sign the 1935 contract as soon as it is ready, says county agent C. Y. Tilson. All farm machinery should be in spected and repaired before the rush of spring and summer work starts. Have your cottonseed tested now. If it fails to germinate properly, it is advisable to buy good seed before planting time. Indications are that most of the Wilson county tobacco growers will plant) 85 percent of their base acre age instead of 90 percent. It is a great kindness to trust peo ple with a secret.
