MAT FIT CROPS I
. TO ADAPTED SOILS
Raleigh, N. C., Jun(e 14?-N early
cveiy crop has its preference for the
soil on whieh it wishes to make its
home. V
"Nearly every agricultural soil
type in North Carolina has certain
characteristics or aspects which make
it better suited to a certain crop or
certain kinds of N farming than to
some other crops or types of farm
ing," says C. B. Williams, head of
the department of agronomy at Stat*
* College. "There is tobacco, for in
stance, and re,j clover. We knqw that
best results with tobacco are secured
when the crop is grown on certain
Norfolk, Durham, Alamance, Gran
ville and Cecil soils. When the crop
is put on other soils, the quality Oi
weed is not as good aQd the tobacco
does not grow as well. Red clover
does best on the Davidson clay loam
SOilS." i.t^.
The facts have been established by
experiments and observations over a
number of years, states Mr. Williams,
and show that a sound plan of pro
moting the growth of special crops
may be worked out if such observa
tions are followed. This is especial-(
ly true of such special crops as al
falfa, red clover or tobacco. The ag
ronomy workers have found that red
clover was doing much better or was
grown more generally in( certain com
munities than In others. In seeking
to determine the cause of this irreg
ular distribution, it was found thai
growth of the clover was associate".
with certain types of soil. The clover
seemed to be especially adapted to
the Davidson clay loam and wherever
this soil was found to any cxteRt in
? county, red and related clovers
were found occupying a larger part
of the lai^) than in counties where
other soils were predominant. Alfalfa
is also found ou this and closely re
lated soils. '
Mr. Williams states therefore that
those who wish to grow certain spec
ial crops or to practice certain types
of farming would do well to stu.ly
the kind of soil on the farm anjd to
grow those crops which are bedi
adapted to the soils.
COW, SOW, SHEEP AND
HEN MARKETING GROW
ING FAST IN COUNTY
(By C. W. Tilson, County Agent)
Jackson County farmers are fast
and firmly laying the foundation and
building up markets for cow, sow.
sheep and het^ products that are now
meaning and shall ?lway{p mean
"More Cash in Jackson County Farm
ing." Few folks realize just what
has been done and what the outlook
is for cash crop farming- in the coun
t-v
With the permanent establishment
of Carolina Creamery station in Syl
va our farmers have one of the besi
cream markets in the South and in
terest in daiiyinp is growing fast.
Over $600.00 in cash is coming ri
our farmers .each month now for
cream sold to Carolina Creamery and
the volume is increasing every month
The skim milk on. the farms produc
ing this cream is growing hciffci
calves, pigs and chickens worth us
much as the cream checks. Dairv
(Cows are selling fqr almost twice
what they were two years ago. Lc;
the man who thinks we will get too
many see what good cows will co;i
him 3 and 5 and 7 years from now
when he buys some of these heifer
calves farmers are gitowing now.
Jackson County's first cooperative
ear of demonstration fed hogs will
be shipper this month to the packer.
This car of live hogs averaging
around 230 pounds per (head will
bring our farmers at least $1400.00.
jThe actual records by weights on
bogs and feed show that most of
these hogs cost less than^ $6.00 per
1 hundred pounds to grow them an*1
they will sell for at least $10.00 poi
hundred pounds.
Keeping brood sows with cows and
producing pigs at $3*50 per head
8 weeks old anj selling them oir
corn for $1.75 to $2.00 per bushel
will grow fast in Jackjon ounty with
the development of live car load hog
shipments. Last year over 300 car
loads of demonstration fed hogs were
shipped out of North Carolina. Act
ual records by scales on feed and
hogs, show that over 7000 of these
hogs paid their owtyers $2.14 /per
bushel for the corn they ate.
Jackson County corn sold for $1.00 j
per bushel on the market or to hogs
if hogs were fed on corn alone. The
corn alonp feeding takes 25 busheis
corn to produce 230 pounds pig or
$25, while the corn shorts and fish
meal way, 230 pound pigs cost $12.00
for feed.
Two more cars of demonstration
corn, shorts and fish meal fed hogs
^ r]|ow on feed will be shipped in Sept
ember by Jacksoji County farmers.
The sheep growers are having a
pay day soon, too. This month thiy
hold a cooperative wool sale that
will pay them well. Last year over
$1300.00 in cash was received for
wool and we have more wboi th.*9
year an<j the price is good. Good
lambs have been selling high this
year as usual, anjd definite plans
are being made now for marketing
the lambs for the highest dollar.
Our sheep growers will very soon
be holding cooperative car load ship-1
ments as fast as we can standardize]
the lambs. Practically all ewes and
ewe lambs this year will be kept In
the county for breeders and in the
next two months some good grade
ewes will be brought in by fanners
for foundation flooks.
Poultry1 sales are growing steady.
Last week the car was packed full
and week before last only a few
more coops could have been handled
When one car wout hold the Murphy
branch poultry, we will have two a*
was the case two weeks ago when at
extra car was on the Sylva siding to
take care of the overflow. Well ovo
$1200 each month is received ?.n
cash at the oar by our farmers for
poultry. More than 5000 standard
bred pullers are being grown fast
by our standard farm flock owners
to get ready fair the high priced
fall and winter eggs. Every month
of njext fall and winter the eggs
from these 5000 pullets will sell for
more than our live poultry is bring
ing now.
It takes a lot of push to build
markets like these and grow cow
sow, sheep and hen products to su.)
ply the increasing demand. Let me
uige the farmers who are doinjj thci
part so well to wo^k even harder
and interest others, and those wno
have done nothing about it yet get
busy and help Jackson County farm
ers produce anjd market cash cnu
livestock and their products. \V
need a hundred times the cows, sows
sheep and hens well cared for on
Jackson County farms and they arc
coming as sure as roads, schools and
automobiles have come, and our mar
kets will still be demanding more
tdian we will ever produce,
Denmark is the richest farming
nation on earth today. Nothing on
earth made it but the cow, sow, and
hen with their butter, bacon and
eggs. We have far greater opportun
ities for cheap production and good
markets thar> Denmark ever had a
any stage of her growth.
OUR ADVERTISING BILL
Concord Times.
Economists and sociologists havt
lately given much consideration u
advertising as a business and socia*
force. The American Newspaper Pub
lishers' Association jcaloulates thai
last year 3,500 national advertiser
invested $235,000,000 in newspapei
space alone. Among these, 309 of the
largest advertisers spent $l(Jt),317,000.
A little analysis of this list shows
some interesting details.
For instance, 21 motor car manu
facturers spent $19,057,000; nine tob
acco concerns spent $9,563,000 ; 24
drug, chemical and toilet preparation
concerns spent $7,882,000; 13 oil
companies spent $5,030,000; 17 rail
roads spent $4,979,000; six radio con
cerns spent $1,420,000; five steamship
companies spent $800,000. Othei
heavy advertising buyers are electri
washing machine and electric refrig
erator makers; baking powders, men
packers, publishing houses, moior
tires, clothing, and prepared foods
The complete list presents quite an
astonishing variety.
The Gastonia Gazette explains tha
"the Advertising Bureau of the
American Newspaper Publishers' As
sociation is endeavoring to make the
fullest possible survey of the adver
tising field, the results of which
would be of much value to both ad
vertisers and publishers. Apparently
more monkey is spent to reach motor
car buyers and users, by the automo
bile and oil companies, than on be
half of any other single group."
Advertising, and especially news
paper advertising, is on the increase
for the man who has something to
sell realizes more an,} more each year
that he must give his commodity a
name through advertising before he
can sell it on a largo scale.
