ROCKINGHAM POST-DISPATCH, BUiHHOND COUNTY, N. C. PAGE FIVB Farm Demonstration Department Conducted by W. H. BARTON Office In Courthousa, Rockingham. (The typesetter had my article in Zion News. Miss Winnie Spencer was call ed to Charlotte last week on ac count of the illness of her sister, Kathleen. Her condition is very much improved and we are glad to have Miss Spencer back at school. We are sorry to say that Mrs. W. C. Ellerbe and her son Mike, have been quite sick for the past week. Mrs. Maud McLeod spent a i j i4. 1. ..-4.u i : last week s paper headed, "Atten-'lcw Uty& wsl wccli wu" uci na tion, Horticultural Club Boys." It ter, Mrs. J. C. Ellerbe. was written by in., "Attention, Agri-! The young people of Zion church organized an Epworth cultural Club Boys." Horticulture a branch of plant production, dealing more particularly with the science and art of growing fruits, vegetable, and flowers or ornamen tal plants. What I was writing about was an Agricultural subject, and one not to be confused with Hor ticulture. W. H. BARTON.) GRAZING CROPS FOR HOGS. The following grazing crops will gfive good results in the sand hill section, for bog raising: Two Acres ot Permanent Pasture Bnrmnda Preferred. First Year Crops. Plot (1) Corn and Velvet Benns with Peanuts in middles. Plot (2) Corn and Velvet Beans with Peanuts in middles. Plot (3) Oats and Rape followed by Com and Soy Beans with Pea nuts in Middles. (Oats, Rye and Rape in fall). Plot (V) Oats and Rape followed by Coin and Soy Beans with Pea nuts in middles. (Oats, Rye and Rape in fall). Plot 1.5)- Early Peas followed by Rye, Rape and Vetch in Aug. Second Year Crops. Rotate plots 1 and 2 with plots 3 ami ': and repeat crops on 5. This acreage, If well (crtiliged, will support one sow and two litters of pigs each, per .year, and will furnish grazing practically through the year. The corn in the velvet bean areas (1 and 2) should be gath ered to supplement green grazing wbile hogs axe on such plots alone. Hogs on green grazing (including burmuda) should be fed two per cent of their gross weight in corn daily. This rotation will not produce cheap meat only, but will enrich the plots within a few years sufficiently to require only acid phosphate and potash as fertilizers. There is no money in purebred bogs or any other kind if we put thenf) in dry lots or pens and de pend on producing, gathering and feeding them dry feeds alone. "Let the hogs do the work." The above areMr acres of grazing crops and 2 acres of permanent pas ture) should be increased to double for two sows and their litters, or rel atively for any number of sows. Green grazing is a powerful aid to hog production, but do not think for one moment that you can suc ceed on green grazing alone. If you h'ave tried it, you don't need this caution. I shall be glad to answer any en quiries or to aid any one along this line. Order your velvet beans. There will be a great 'demand for them about planting time. W. H. BARTON.
