Now la the time when we should develop safe farming in Surry coun ty. The following taken from a card issued by the United State De) ail ment of Agriculture pointa '.he way to financial independence of the farm er. Prosperity among -outhrrn firm era will be widespreml and pernwn rnt and contentment sbound only when the Safe-FarmiiiK method* so long known and advocated become general throughout the South. They are: Grow ample food to feed ft.e family. Have a ifi-od <ummer and winter garden. Grow all the pork needed for njme ■ lata* Keep enough «»» to fully »>ipply nil family needa. Raiw all the poultry and tip the funnily can um- and aome to sail, Of»w can* or »orghum« for »ynp where practicable. Grow all the feed needed. Make the purchase of feed for the work (lock, poultry, hoc*, and rrws i.nneceasary—a penny saved I* worth : wo earned. Keep up the fertility of the soil. Grow cowpeaa, vetch, soybeans, or other legume* to plow under. Sow rye, wheat or oata in corn and cotton fields for pasture and to pre | vent winW washing and leaching. Plant high-yielding quality cotton nnd care for it well. Cooperate in reducing the number of varieties grown and in the orderly marketing of the crop. One-fourth leu* cotton acreage in 1927, with average yield* and pres .•nt surplps would more than >upply average requiremants. Why plant more? (The name la true of tobac co.)

January ia a good month to get baby chicks for producing early upruiR broilers which usually sell best around April first says V. W. Lewis, livestock marketing specialist of the State Division of Market*. Those who are equipped with brooders •houid produce a crop of broilers be fore brooding their layers. We arc in a much better position to get blood tested stuff this year than last. How ever, there will be plenty of poor quality baby chicks on the market so be careful where you secure your broilers and chicks for the home Hock. Mr. Lewis says that the sup ply of turkeys is growing lees in the United States. The demand was good last fall and there always will be an active market about the holidays. He thinks a few would add profit to any farm. If you are short of green feed for ■•our poultry use sprou1 oats S or 4 hours hi Drain off mmI place la w»od»n randy alls.
