Cows Need Attention ]
During Hot Weather
To maintain high milk production
during the summer, it is necessary |
that the dairy cow have sufficient
feed, plenty of shade and a good
supply of fresh water, j
"As the summer advances, the
grass gets dry and short and its
content changes from high protein
and low fiber to low protein and
high fiber," says J. A. Arey, exten
sion dairyman at state college. Thi=
condition necessitates the feeding of
more grain with a high protein con
tent together' with silage or a soil- .
ing crop. Grain feeding during this
period should be as heavy as during
the winter months."
Hcit weather will generally de- j
crcas e milk production and Mr. Arey j
suggests that the animals have am
ple shade during the hot part of the
day. Around cities, where the pas- 1
tures and lounging lots are small,
he advises that the milking herd be j
stabled during the middle of the day.
Flies are also a source of a great
annoyance to cows in summer, and
Mr. Arey says unless some method j
is used to combat them the best re
suits from the herd cannot be obtain-1
ed. Flies are controlled easiest by
destroying the breeding places, he
says. Stalls and pits should be clean- j
ed at least once 'each week and the j
manure hauled from the barn direct
t 0 the field. Any accumulation of lit-'
ter or garbage furnishes ideal breed-!
ing places for flies and should be j
cleaned up as often as possible*
Because it is impossible to destroy j
all flies in the larvae stage by clean- !
ing up the breeding places, it is fur
ther necessary to use poison, fly
traps and sprays to kill off the young
er brood after hatching, recommends
Mr. Arey.
Small Curb Markets
Outlets For Surplus
Last year, farm men and women ,
of North Carolina sold $302,391 .
worth of surplus produce from their
gardens, poultry yards and pantries
at the 30 curb markets which have
been established by the home dem
onstration agents.
Among these markets none is more
successful than that established at
Rocky Mou'nt by Mrs. Effie Vines
Gordon, home agent of Nash coun
ty. So outstanding has been the re
sults secured at this market that
Mrs. Gordon has been in demand ir.
other parts of the State to assist in
getting curb markets underway. Vir
ginia has called on her also and she
recently helped to establish such a
market, at Petersburg.
The curb market at Rocky Mount
is held each Saturday throughout the
year in a large tobacc 0 warehouse.
Dul-ing the summer, when there is a
lcrge supply of vegetables and other
produce available, a mid-week market
day is held generally on Wednesday.
There is no jobbing at the Rocky
Mount market. Those wh 0 buy know
that the material comes directly
from th e farm of the person selling
and that it is fresh and wholesome.
Mrs. Gordon acts as director of the
market., Sales begin when she rings
a bell at the managers table and the
price of each product is posted on

4-H Club Members
j Hold Summer Camps
j Club members in 26 counties of
North .Carolina will enjoy camp life
at convenient recreation centers this
1 summer with approximately 2,000
'rural boys and girls so far enrolled,
i "These club encampments are held
.under the supervision of county
I home and farm agents with assis
tance from the specialists of the]
| State college extension service," says !
L. R».i Harrill, state club leader. "A 1
'few of th e camps were held in June j
but most of them are scheduled for j
.July with some few in August fol-j
j lowing the annual statewide meet- j
! ing at the college during the week
iof August 4 to 9. In each case, it ?s
j the plan of the extension workers to
give the club members a week of
j recreation coupled with some in
istruction in agricultural and home
'economics subjects."
t
j Mr. Harrill finds from studying
i reports from the home and farm
agents, that the number of county
j encampments will be slightly smaller
this year than in previous years.
! This is due largely to financial con-
| ditions in the counties affected.
I From 30 to 35 county camps are held
usually.
Th e mountain club boys and girls j
will be very fortunate this summer
in the permanent club camp at the
Mountain Branch Station farm near
i Swannanoa is available. This camp
opened on June 30 and will be oc
cupied almost continuously until
late July. Here the club members
have available, a large assembly hall
iand dining room, a modern kitchen,
! a large artificial swimming pool, and
home-like cottages for sleeping quart-
The state encampment is to be
held at State college, August 4 to
9, will be the round-up or climax of
the camping season. Much of the in
formation developed at the county
camps will be used here as will the
facts developed at the National Club
Camp recently held in Washington,

Publish Diaries
Of R. Shotwell
The North Carolina Historical
Commission has just published "The
Letters and Diaries of Randolph Ab
bott Shotwell." Shotwell was an of
ficer in the Confederate army, edi
tor of the Rutherfordton Vindica
tor after the war, implicated in the
Ku Klux Klan activities of Cleve
land, Rutherford and Polk, convicted
and sent to th e Federal penitentiary,
at Albany, N. Yi,, where he served
two years. After returning from the
pen he engaged in newspaper work
again.
Shotwell was undoubtedly one of
the state's most brilliant men in the
period following the War Between
the States, and one of North Caro
lina's foremost newspaper editors of
all times. In 1868-70 he edited the
Rutherfordton Vindicator with such
intensity as to win the hatred of
every republican in western North
Carolina, and viewing the incidents
of that period at this time the pers
pective is clearer, and the one fact
uppermost is Shotwell was railroad
ed to prison, not for any official con
nection he had with the Klan, but
solely because he had goaded the
republicans to fury by his ceaseless
attacks on them through his paper,
and his destructive influence (to the
republican party) as a newspaper
editor.
The work of editing the papers
and diaries was done by Prof. J. de
Reulhac Hamilton, of th e University
of North Carolina.

Weevil* In Des
tructive Numbers
With a ten percent infestation
common over the entire cotton grow
jjig section of North Carolina and
with some fields showing from 40
to 60 percent infestation, the boll
weevil problem appears to be ser
ious this year.
| "It is unusual to have such a heavy
boll weevil infestation so early in
'the season," says C. H. Brannon,
' extension entomologist at State
college. "In some fields our inspec
tions shows 40 percent of the squares
have been punctured. One field show
led 60 percent and a ten percent in
festation was found almost every
' where. However, there is no reason
to be unduly alarmed if growers
will begin dusting before it is too
late. One must examine the squares
on the cotton plant to determine
how the weevil is infesting the cot
ton. Merely looking over the field
will not tell the whole story."
| Mr. Brannon urges growers to pre
pare at once to meet this emergency
'condition. Where Infestation is as
high as ten percent, growers should
begin dusting at once. At least three
applications four days apart should
be given. In no case should the dust
ings be more than five days apart
Then examine the new squares a
gain and if the damage reaches the
;tcn percent points once more, ad
ditional applications of the poison
] should be made. It may be necessary
j als 0 to make later applications to
'protect the cotton bolls.
If the calcium arsenate dust is
properly applied, it will control the
weevil, says Mr. Efrrannon. Those
who have done the work correctly
in the past will verify this state-
Trent. Good results from dusting
have been secured on various pri
vate farms and on the Upper Coast
(al Plain 'Experiment farn| near
Rocky Mount. However, one should
not jump into boll weevil control
! methods half prepared. Do it right
or leave it alone, advises Mr. Bran
!non.
