Official allocations for all grains during April total- 864,500 long tons, led by 30.5 million bushels of wheat and flour equivalent. Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson has announced that there will be no change in the 1848 national marketing quota for flue-cured tobacco. Number of Milk cows increases Bothth e number of milk cows and production of milk per cow increased in North Carolina from 1939 to 1944, reports C. Brice Ratcford, Extension Farm Man agement specialist at State Col lege. A recent report by the Bureau of the Census shows that the num ber of cows increased by 33,515, or 11 per cent, and gollons of milk produced in creased from 143 to 161 million, or 12.6 per cent, Mr. Ratchford said. However, there were 3.8 million pounds less butter churned in 1944 than in 1939, a decrease caused largely by extension of milk routes which have made a whole milk market available for more farmers, the specialist pointed out. Mr. Ratchford saida study of the census shows that the number of cows per farm has increased. In 1944 there were fewer families with one cow than in 1939, but more families with two, three, and four cows. Almost twice as many families had five to nine cows in 1944. The yield per acre for all types of tobacco grown in North Caro lina increased from 655 pounds in 1929 to 1,142 pounds in 1946.

MASSEY'S HATCHERY The Zebulon Record Negro Farmer Is Now A Ladino Booster Eugene King, Negro farmer of Ruffin, Route 1, is convinced that Ladino clover pastures really pay dividends, reports S. H. Dobson, Agronomy Extension specialist at State College. Mr. Dobson and the Negro coun ty agent, T. D. Williamson, visited King in February, 1947, and sug gested that he try some orchard grass and Ladino clover. King was only mildly interested, but agreed to lime, fe: tilize and prepare four acres seeding. A month later he and the county agent seeded the pasture. A dry spell in the spring slowed the growth of the seeding, but the needed rains came later. King re sisted the temptation to turn his cows and workstock on the pas ture until September, but once there the stock stayed until mid- January. “My pasture has saved over half of my winter hay and my stock are in good shape,” King said recently as he pointed to the hay still in his barn. Negro farmers all over Rockingham County have heard of King’s success with Lad- Margraret’s Beauty Shop Qualified Operators Phone 2131 Upstairs Over Zebulon Drug Stor« PLANT WATSON HYBRIDS Do you want more com from your acreage?
