Subscription From Our Farm Demonstration Agent (F G Tufew. it ) The Green Clover Worm w hich damaged the soybeans a week or so asro, has just begun to make it- self noticeable again. Already a j few of the moths hive appeared land are laying eggs for the next brood. Holes in the leaves of the new growth show that the small worms have begun work. Within the next week or two, another army will be at work. A great many farmers who expected to use the soybeans for hay are afraid to use the poison to kill the worms. However, they should by all means apply poison to enough to save what seed they will need for another year. The worms no doubt will damage the crop all over Eastern North Car olina to such an extent as to make seed a little scarce another year, and for this reaso n, every farmer should apply the poison to enough of the beans to insure a supply of seed. If one is afraid to use the beans for hay. then cut them be-1 iore me worms damage mem ioo much. Mr. Franklin Sherman, I State Entomologist says that there is very little danger of stock being poisoned from eating the treated plants after three or four weeks after treatment. The first heavy rain will wash most of the poison off, and leave bare ly enough to poison one of the small worms. Use powdered ar senate of lead as a dust: one pound to eight pounds of lime dust This has proven to be more preferable than Paris Green. The Aurelian Springs Comun ity Fair will be held again this year. The date set is October 21st This will be the only Fair to be held in the county this year Every farmer in that section will be expected to do his part to help make the Fair a greater suc cess than ever. A Community Organization is of great value to any section, hut its real value lies in the interest and pride the people of that section take in it. I One of the greatest urawbacks ! to stock raising in our county is j a lack of proper pastures and j feeds. Good pastures and good grain feed9 are paramount to su-1 cessful production of stock eco nomically. One without the other presents a one sided ra tion. Too many farmers think that all their hogs need is corn, but experiments show beyond a doubt that hogs fed corn alone, are rather expensive. There are two kinds of feed, starch feeds.and protein feeds, and to produce pork cheaply, both should be used. Corn is a starch feed, while peannts, soy beens, tankage, etc. represent protein feeds of high value. A mixture of these should be used for best results. To feed a hog nothing but corn, and expect it to do best, is just as bad as feeding a farmer on cornbread alone three times a day and expect him to be able to stand up to hard work. He!

Dont forget that the winter rains wash a lot of fertilizing material out of your bare soils. Plan to plant clover, rye, and small grain on all your soils thi fall, as these crops will not only increase the amount of vegetable matter in the soil, but they will take up fertilizer and hold it until next spring.
