FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25 1938 FARM and HOME J. E. McINTIRE Here is a poem short enough to memorize and well worthy of a place in any one’s memory: For all true words that have been spoken, For all brave deeds that have been done, For every loaf in kindness broken, For every race in valor run, For martyr lips which have not failed To give God praise and smile to rest, For knightly souls that have not quailed At stubborn strife or lonesome quest; Lord, unto whom we stand in thrall We give thee thanks for all, for all. —Margaret E. Sangster. PUT IDLE LAND TO WORK WITH FOREST TREES By J. C. KEITH Assistant County Agent North Carolina farmei's have 1,- 250,000 acres of land cleared for crops but now idle, most of it too poor for annual crops and with many acres of this land badly erod ed. On these same farms there are approximately 4,000,000 acres of woodland badly cut-over and in many cases burned to the point that there is only a limited stand of growing trees. We in Wake County have our share of this non productive land. Good farm man agement requires the maintain ance of a balance between land in cultivation, land in pasture, and woodland as the three major uses of the farm acreage. Growing trees make waste land profitable. These trees become a Savings Bank adding interest and compounding it each day. No bet ter insurance for a sound, balanced farm business can be had. Many farmers are finding it good business to put these idle acres to work by planting forest trees to grow a crop of firewood, fence posts, pulpwood, poles or saw timber. Wake County frmers would do well to follow this ex ample. Let’s adopt, for this coun ty, the slogan “Put Every Idle Acre to Work with Trees.” If a farmer anticipates a future need for fence posts, we suggest that he plant black locust. If he feels that he will have a greater need for fuel and lumber it would be well to plant the species of pine adapted to his locality and soil type. One thousand trees will plant an acre spacing them six by seven feet. Black locust and pine seedlings are available at the State Nur sery at a nominal cost of $2.00 per thousand, or $2.25 per thousand delivered by Express or Parcel Post. In addition to these we can secure white ash, yellow poplar, and cypress for planting on soils and sites adapted to their growth. Applications for trees should be made now, while the supply of choice trees is available. Let us help you. Planting information and application blanks can be secured at the County Agent’s office. HUNTING AND FISHING GUIDES ARE SOUGHT The N. C. State Employment Serv ice is making a State-wide survey to obtain data as to the availability of guides, including both commer cial and sport fishing, and also hunting guides. In order to secure this information for the benefit of the public, all hunting and fishing guides employed or unemployed, are requested to register at the nearest State Employment office in the community in which they live. As a public service to individuals in North Carolina, and other states who may vacation in North Caro lina, all guides are urged to reg ister with the Service so that the availability of guides will be known. In this way the Employ ment Service wishes to cooperate with persons w’ho w’ould require the services of hunting and fish ing guides. EVERY ONE CAN HAVE SIMPLE WATER SYSTEM That low-cost water systems are practical for farmers in moderate circumstances has been excellently demonstrated in the case of Willie Morton, Sr., a Negro farmer living in the Jeffries Grove community of Wake County. He installed run ning water from a well into his home at a cost of $19.10. L. T. Brown, Negro vocational teacher of Method, N. C., obtained plans for simple water systems from David S. Weaver, Extension Agricultural Engineer at State College. By using Extension folders Nos. 37 and 38, he interested Mor ton and others in constructing sys tems of low-cost type. A Myers set-length pump was bought for $lO. Inch-and-a-quarter pipe was ifsed from the well to the pump, costing 16 cents a foot. For the pipe from the pump to an overhead tank, three-quarter inch was used, costing 8 cents a foot. Pipe from the tank to the house was purchased for 7 cents a foot. An overhead tank was made from a syrup barrel. He can in crease the capacity by joining other barrels with short lengths of pipe near the bottom. Weaver points out that it is pos sible to reduce even this small cost by $5 where a shallow well instead of a set-length pump is used. Care should be taken, however, to see that force pump, and not a lift pump, is purchased where it is de sired to force the water higher than the standard of the pump, Weaver said. LOW PRICES Eastern Carolina farmers say there is no profit in soybeans sold as beans this fall—the price is only 60 cents a bushel. PROFITABLE LESPEDEZA Oscar Mauney of the Peachtree section of Cherokee County seeded Korean lespedeza on 13.6 acres of a rye field last March and sold the 28.75 tons of hay secured at sl4 a ton or $402.50 and still had his rye crop extra. WINTER LAWNS The lawns of 22 farm homes in Onslow County have been definite ly improved and beautified by seeding to white Dutch clover and rye grass this fall. PEACH ORCHARDS J. I. nd L. P. Musgrave of Stoney Creek, Wayne County, have set 500 peach trees this fall to begin a small commercial orchard. A number of other Wayne farmers are setting small home orchards ■of 50 trees each. THE ZEBULON RECORD OLDER CLUB MEMBER Though he is over 70 years of age, J. T. Daniel of Granville Coun ty, joined the 4-H com club this season and has produced 102 bushels of com on his club acre. He is said to be one of the best farmers in the county. BUY BEEF CATTLE Fourteen pure bred Angus heif ers were purchased last week by J. H. Satterthwaite and R. V. Knight of Tarboro, route 1, to in crease beef cattle herds on their farms. DOUBLES CORN YIELD J. D. Darnell of the White Oak community in Mitchell County has doubled his com yield per acre, increased his hay crop and has bet ter pastures as a result of keeping more cattle and treating his pas tures with limestone and phos phate. LOWER In its annual outlook report for farm labor, equipment, and fer tilizer, the U. S. Bureau of Agri cultural Economics points out that “the combined level of farm wage rates and prices of commodities used in agricultural production probably will average a little lower than in 1938.” WILL LEND 57 CENTS The November com estimate of 2,480,958,000 bushels, recently is sued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, establishes the rate of 57 cents a bushel for loans made on 1938 corn to farmers in com mercial com areas. CONDEMNED Although bovine tuberculosis in the United States has been reduced to less than one-half of one per cent, this small infection is respon sible for many condemnations of animal carcasses and parts in con nection with Federal meat inspec tion. PLAN NEW USAGE Producers, ginners, warehouse men, crushers, and merchant-ship pers from 15 states gathered at Memphis November 21 to perfect organization of a National Cotton Council to bring cotton consump tion closer to the level of produc tion through market expansion and the devising of new uses. THIS REALLY HAPPENED As Thanksgiving day draws near, and there is a lot of talk of turkeys I am reminded of a farm er friend of mine in Florida, whose wife decided she would raise some turkeys. She asked her husband to bring some turkey‘eggs to be set under a hen. Thinking he would play a good joke on her, he brought instead of turkey eggs, two nice large buzzard eggs. Some time later he asked, “Oh, by the way, did your turkey eggs hatch?” “Oh,” she replied, ‘‘l did not want to bother with just two turkeys, so I cooked those eggs for your breakfast.” (That cured him of playing practical jokes on his wife.) CONDITION Any marked improvement in milk and butter prices during the next few years will depend on fur- i ther recovery in business and a rise in the general level of prices, says John A. Arey, of State Col lege. PECANS —l5 c Fancy Georgia Paper Shell Pecans, 15c per pound. 50 to 100 lbs. Schley Pecans, extra fancy, per 100 lbs, $20.00. Pecan Meats 40c per pound. Good Pecans.
