Walnut Cove Farmer Writes On Alfalfa Walnut Cove. Sept. 6. 192i>. (lentlemen: Our tobacco crops are uncer tain. Disease causes tobacco to perish and waste away. Wind and hail have no pets. They leave ruin in their pathways. Fire destroys and thieves break n and steal. Prices are poor and profits uncertain. But there is a crop, almost - in. very necessary and in great demand. I refer to a crop i : hay. Since the tinx; for -r ling this crop is near at ' and. permit me to make some - rirestions as to the growing i 'his crop. IN -sibly. the easiest and certain hay crop to raise •vould be a mixture of oats and vetch, a mixture of timothy ;.nd herds grass comes next, clover is line and should be -own early. Fait the best crop, in my opinion, is alfalfa. Success with alfalfa demands more thought and better prep aration than any other hay »• p .'id pays better than any other hay crop. It is useless t i o\v alfalfa without thor ough preparation of the soil, without making the soil rea sonably tVjrtile. Without lim ing the soil and without inoc culating the seed. Select land that is well drain ed. free of rocks and stumps (or remove them.) Break this Kind thoroughly six or eight Inches deep, cultivate it with harrow.-- and drags until it is clean enough for a plant bed. While cultivating this land, work into the top-soil all stable manure you can get, from four to six bags of the best fertili zer you can get and from two to four tons of grornd lime stone. per acre. The guano and lime should be worked in lightly. The soil is now readv | to receive the seed. The seed must be innoculat ed. There are two methods of innoculating alfalfa seed. You ran buv an inocculating serum from Washington, D. C\, or you can procure soil from a field where alfalfa has been grown succef|;fully. In either case, mix the seed and the material together and sow seed on a cloudy day or late of an even ing and harrow lightly at once. The sun's ravs will kill the inocculating germ if left ex posed long. Alfalfa should be sown as soon as possible, not later than Oct. 15. It produces from three to five crops a year. It often lasts five or six years be fore it needs reseding. The hay is the best that can be pro duced. Seed should be sown at the rate of 15 to 25 pounds per acre. It may be sown in the spring but fall is the best time to sow it. FARMER. A picture news service re fers to Anita Stewart as a "pioneer movie star," which is about zero in press agenting. Dairy Products Account » One-Quarter of Farm Income 1 Last year the farm value o: dairy products amounted tc approximately three billion dol lar, according to figures com ' piled by the United States De . partmeiit of Agriculture. "Many people fail to realize the size and importance of this " industry." says O. E. Reed. - chief of the Bureau of Dairy i Industry. "It may help some I to a clearer realization of the dairying business to learn that this three billion dollars amounts to 26 per cent or a lit ! tie more than a quarter of th» total value of all agricultural pmlucts. rh. ciairy cow ac counts for about one dollar as against three by all the other animals and crops in the coun try." i "Tl.> development." Do*..} or Reed says, "has been accom panied by an evei increasing appreciation by the public of 1 the value of milk and dairy products in the diet ami their relation to the health and gen eral welfare of the people.' In the relative stability of : the dairy industry. Doctor Reed ' finds an obvious explanation of the increasing number of in i vestors who are keenly inter ested in the industry. "The I >tability of dairying." he says, "has resulted in large invest ments of capital, not only on farms but in manufacturing, processing, and distribution . plants. It would be unfortunate, however. Doctor Reed points out. if the present favorable h | osjtion of the dairy industrv I should lead many producers to expand their business or if it should induce many men not now in the business to enter the field.. In recent years the domestic production of ;l! dairy products has amounted i to about I*9 per cent of the de i mam!, a close margin. The above portion of this ar ticle is reprinted from the • Clip Sheet of the United States D -partmeiit of Agriculture. ! 'ilus article shows us the vast ■ importance of the dairy indus ! try in the United States. Just , try to realize that more than , one-fourth of all the income received by the farmers of the , United States comes from the products of dairy cow's. In : Stokes county the proportion of the income from dairy pro duets at the present time is in signiiicent as compared to the ; total income rf the farmers of Stokes county. Even if it were made the principal source r' income it would still be an in significant factor in the total dairyproduct.s of the United States. Any expansion made in Stokes county will not have any material effect on the market. I think it safe to rec omn- 'nd to the farmers of Stokes county that they double the number of cows now kept just as rapidly as possible. We hope to have cream routes es tablished in the county within the near future. Let us no longer d pend solely upon one crop for our income. Lot us give more attention to dairy ing and poultry raising. Of course if we expect to do this jwe must begin now to grow more feed crops. Why not so>v several acres this month to a good winter hay crop? J. E. County Agent.
