LESPEDEZA PRACTICE AP- |
PROVED FOB STATE UN
DER AAA PROGRAM
Farmers of Stokes couhty will
be allowed one unit or $1.50 per'
acre toward maximum production
I
practice payment under the 1943
AAA program for establishing'
'good stands and good growths of'
Lespedeza, provided they are left
on the land or turned under, ac
cording to Jacob Fulton, chair
man of the county AAA Commit
'tee.
Credits for this practice will be
allowed only if the entire growth,
other than seed, is left on the j
land or turned under as a green
'manure crop. It must not be pas
tured or mowed for hay. Credit'
'also will be allowed only for the'
i i
acreage of lespedeza seeded arti
ficially during the 1943 program
year on land on which lespedeza
wa s not grown in 1942, the chair- [
|man said. The seeding rate should'
be at least 25 to 30 pounds pet
acre, and a jrood stand similar to ■
I
that which normally would be se-'
cured from such seeding and x
good growth must be obtained.,
He defined a good growth as one '
I reaching an average heignl of
five or six inches.
Chairman Fulton also said that,
credit of one uhit or $1.50 per
acre has been approved under the
i ;
! 1943 program for turning under
crotalaria as a green manure crop.
To qualify for credit, he said, :»
good stand and good growth i
| which was seeded artificially in
the 1943 program year must be
plowed or disked under.
| "Approval of these practiced
should be extremely valuable to'
I
farmers in the coming agricultu- i
ral year," he said. "With the na
tion at war, we must keep our
farm plants in shape to produco
to the limit as land as necessary,
and if we do this, we must pro
tect our land during the winter
months and also store in the soil
as much nitrogen as possible by
growing legume crops. Applica
tion of Phosphate, potash and
liming materials are recommend
ed with the lespedeza practice.
Credits earned for carrying out
approved practices under the AA
A program are counted toward
■maximum payments which may be
| made on all farms cooperating in
the program.
4-H CLUB BOY
MAKING GOOD
On October 29, 1940, Billie Joe
Burrows, of the King community,
bought a heifer calf for §17.00.
During the winter and spring he
gave her the best of attention and I
' feeding, and bis heifer freshen
ed July 9, 1941. Six weeks from
the freshening date Billy Joe sold
j the calf for $13.00 and then t e-1
gan selling milk on the local milk!
route to the Coble Dairies. For'
the next year Billy Joe sold
$50.00 worth of milk after his
feeding bill waa deducted. So yon
'see that this cow has already paid 1
'for herself more than three times.
How is this for profitable re
turns ? No, he did not make a
fortune but it is the "little, things
in life that count." This is a good
I
project for an FFA member, 4-H
i ,
Club member, or farmer. This i
shows that Billie Joe is thinking .
1
of our war needs —Our govern
,says produce more milk for our
homes and our soldiers). ■
This cow freshened again July
1 16, 1942, and now has a heifer
calf. Billie Joe is keeping the hei-'
fer calf for future breeding and
lis again selling milk on the milk j
route.
j Billie Joe also has one of the
Sears-Roebuck chain pigs and a'
I colt that he is keeping. Our hats
go off to boys and girls who are
! doing such good farming.
TRUE STORIES
OF
! STOKFS COUNTY
HUNTERS
' I
! Huse Loftis, Reid Forrest, Trav j
Tuttle and Ed Mitchell went on a
big deer hunt to eastern North
Carolina last week, leaving Stakes '
early Wednesday morning ;
They carried heavy deer gtfnri,
and stopped over at Winston-Sa- |
lem where they bought 40 rounds
of ammunition each from Brown-
Rogers. :
i I
At dark Tuesday night after
driving hard all day they arrived
i in the suburbs of Bennettsville, 1
S. C., seeming to be slightly off
their track.
Tom Mathews, a citizen of Ben
|ncttsville, who used to work ad
vertising for the Danbury Report -
ier, hearing of the arrival of the
i
hunters, went out and extended
them a welcome. They spent the

night at the Marlboro Inn. Next
morning as they departed Tom
very obligingly presented them
with a pocket compass, explain-
I
ing that the needle pointed north
| and cautioning them to follow j
'the needle.
■ 1 I
I They were headed for Lake
, Waccmaw, or some such name,
, which does not appear on the
map. They arrived at dark Fri- j
1 day night at another lake which '
i.' . : 1
they thought wad Waccamaw, and
; I
which they were soon informed
, was Lake Nincompoop, 30 miles
| ast of South Boston, Va.
| But the party was soon made,
to feel welcome by a hunter liv
ing there who had deer dogs to
rent at 6 dollars a piece per day,
payable in advance,
j At daylight next mornnig the
chase was on. The pack of six
,fine deer hounds were in full cry,
.and an hour later the deep bay
of the hounds announced they
had treed. A rush was made for
, the quarry, which was under a
cck. It was a rabbit.
I
The dogs were turned loose
with a salvo of shot fired in their
direction, and our Stokes hunters
went on.
They meant to reach Wacca-1
maw that evening.
Which they did, but they were !
1 tired and soon slept in the car.
| Next day being Saturday they
had promised to be back home.
Loftis said:
1 "Boys, we've got to do some
thing. I wouldn't have Reed
George and Lon Sisk to know we
didn't get a deer for 500 dollars."
1 It was 6 o'clock in the morning
and the first tinta of approaching
daylight gleamed in the east.
I They were on the edge of the
woods near a big open field,
j "Wait a minute," whispered Ed.
"I see a deer yonder. Let's get
him."
Four deer rifles crashed and
four elated hunters rushed for
the kill.
The animal was down.
But here a dispute arose as to '
I
who killed the deer. Each one i
Thursday, Nov .25, 1942
. claimed bis gun did the work.
1 Finally as all had always been
good friends, an amicable settle-:
' ment was agreed to. It was de
' cided that each hunter should
' claim to his friends back home
that while all —of course—claim
ed the honor, that really "i am
the one that brought the meat
down."
j When they went to skin the
deer it was found to be a calf.
• u
The hbnters searched to see real
ly whose gun got in the death
! hot - ' "■
j But the calf it seemed had not
i been hit, but had jumped with the
noise of the gUns and broken its
left hind leg, and could not pro
ceed.
It was still alive.
The hunters arrived home late
Sunday evening with a carton of
meat, purporting to be venison.
Their friends have been enjoy
ing fresh meat all this week.
Geo. Ore, good farmer of Dan
bury section, was in town Mon
day. Mr. Ore has promised to
dance a jig in the street whe il
