On The Family
And Dairy Cow
Whip the depression with a good
family cow. The owner of a low
producing cow, or herd, fights with
a single barrel muzzle loading shot
gun. He who owns a hi*h produc
ing herd or family cow fights with
a rapid firing machine gun.
Our goddess, the cow, feeds the
hungry, clothes the naked, and
heals the sick. Long may her light
shine. She should have a good pas
ture with real grass growing in it.
The old family cow bring* health
and hapipness, wealth and content
ment to the family who cares for
her well, provides comfortable quar
ters for her through the winter
months ,and plenty of home grown
feed. Plant an acre of corn for
her, and at least two acres of hay
crops, and see that she ha* an acre
of real pasture.
Good cows produce milk, and
from this is made cream, ice cream,
evaporated milk, condensed milk,
powdered milk, butter, cheese, baby
foods, baking products, and manu
factured products from casein.
High producing cows can only be
obtained by the use of the best of
registered" sires. Scrub sires pro
duce scrub cows. When you go to
buy a cow you demand a good cow.
Nobody ever did want a poor cow.
Yet how are we to have good cows
on your farm unless you use regis
tered sires in the county instead of
using the cheap scrub sires?
Low producing cows and scrub
bulls should go to the land of
"boiling beef" where they will be
converted into meat, button*, fats,
glue, soap, leather, mittens, shoes
and fertilizers.
If you have a boy between the
ages of eight and twenty years old,
secure a registered calf for him,
and have him join the Person Coun
ty 4-H calf club. If there la no
registered bull available in your
community, ~ the county ag^nt can
get you one for corn, wheat, year
lings, cows, or cash, and in some
instances arrangements can be
made to swap the scrub bulls for
registered calve* or young bulls.
We need 42 more registered bulls
in the county. If your community
is one of these that need a regis
tered bull, lets get together and
talk the matter over. Attend the
meeting advertised for August 8th
at 11 A. M., in the courthouse for a
fuller discus'sion of better cattle for
Person County.

Great Program Heard
At State Convention
Those attending the 31st State
Parmer's and Farm Women's Con
vention held at State College last
week, had the opportunity of hear
ing spme of the Nation's agricul
tural ..leaders in addition to taking
part in discussions conducted by
by their own folks from the farms
of North Carolina.
Approximately 1250 persons reg
istered for the Convention at the
College headquarters with an addi
tional number filling local hotels in
Raleigh. County agents, vocational
teachers and Grange lecturers were
housed at Meredith College. At the
general evening sessions from 3,000
to 4,000 were in attendance. During
the day, the Aerates scattered .
over the campus to attend various
(Sectional gatherings.
Some time was devoted, to re
creation. Each evening after sup
per, there was community singing
and following the prepared pro
gram. games and dances were held
on Riddick Field.
"The two officers of the Conven
tion, L. H. McKay of Henderson -
ville, and Mrs. Dewey Bennett of
Hanes, conducted the program in
an admirable way," declared Dean
I. O. Schaub.
Secretary of Agriculture, Henry
A. Wallace was the principal
Speaker on the program, flying to
Raleigh by plane to address the
opening session on Monday even
ing, July 24. C. A. Cobb, cotton
chief, and others of the adminis
. tratlon were present.
Banquets and business meetings
of the ten farm organizations
meeting at the college were held
during the .week.
In the opinion of college officials,
the convention this year was one
of the best in the 31 years the or
ganized farmers of the State have
met at their agricultural college.

Poultry Cost Cut
By Green Feed
l Careful planning of the poultry
I feed program is essential this year
in view of the increased prices of
feeds.
"There is no subsidy granted to
the poultry producer as far as price
for his product is concerned and
the industry is confronted with the
problem of cutting the cost of pro
i duction at every point," said Roy
S .Dearstyne, head of the poultry
department at North Carolina State
College, in urging a balanced pro
gram of crops to cut food expense.
Prof. Dearstyne lists three vital
facts essential to producing poultry
crops ? the Value of Green Feed,
Desirable Grazing Crops, and Crops
jfor Autumn Grazing.
"An abundant supply of succulent
green feed plus sunshine should
supply vitamins in a satisfactory
quantity to maintain the health of
the birds, if a balanced mash Is
available at all times and scratch
grain is fed. When green feed is
lacking, the mash must be rein
forced with some vitamin-bearing
supplement, usually in the from of
cod liver oil.
"However, this supplement Is
costly and may be reduced by a de
sirable grazing crop. There are
three essentials of a desirable graz
ing crop: It must be tender, succu
lent, low in fiber, easily digested
and relished by the birds; it must
supply abundant grazing and re
remain tender over the greatest per
iod of time, and, the cost of produc
tion must be relatively low.
"Green feeds in the autumn when
eggs usually bring a high price is
a necessary supplement to mash
and grain feeding. One of the best
grazing crops for this State is Ital
ian Rye grass which can be suc
cessfully grown in practically near
ly every county. It Is best adapted
in well-drained loam, sandy and
clay loam soils and should be seed
;ed in September or early October
and will supply grazing from Nov
ember 1 until June."
Crimson clover, oats and rape are
three other fall crops that poul
try relish, Dearstyne says.

Improve One Acre,
Urges Farm Leader
It is entirely possible and within
the means of every North Carolina
farmer to impro"? at least one acra
of cultivated land each season.
"There is no need for us to over
look the fact that all of us culti
vate land which will not produce
yield to pay the cost of production,"
declared L. H. McKay of Hender
sonville in his opening address as
President of the North Carolina
State Farmers' Convention meet
ing at State College last week. "In
view of this fict, each of us should
determine to improve at least 0113
acre of land each season. We can
do this by using ground limestone,
planting legumes and stopping all

erosioa. We are following this plan
on my farm and Intend to continue
until we have made each open acre
profitable."
Mr. McKay said average yields of
15 bushels of corn, 252 pounds of
lint cotton and 625 pounds of flue
cured tobacco were common. Yet
on improved acres 135 bushels of
corn has been grown; 1600 pounds
of lint cotton and 2600 pounds of
flue cured tobacco. Thesie yields are
matter of record, he staid, and mean
that the land on which they were
produced had been Improved until
it really paid to farm It.
Mr. McKay made it clear that he <
did not mean any half-way meas
ures of improvement.
"We are working land which It
would be better not to put a plow
in it," he said. "We do not know
how we are wasting our labor un
til we see the results of improving
a piece of land. The hope for suc
cess in farming lieg in increasing
our yields per acre and in balanc
ing production. I am glafi to note
the strides in growing food crops
made in recent years."

Questions Answered
At State College
Question: What Is the best ma
terial to use to r floors in poultry
laying houses?
Answer: By all means put in a
concrete floor if possible. While
wood and dirt floors are used they
are unsanitary and hard to keep
clean. A concrtte floor laid over
a six inch foundation of cinders,
broken stone or gravel will last in
definitely and at the same time will
be easy to clean and keep clean.
Woods floors are cheaper but do
not have the life of a concrete floor
and are not as sanitary.

Question: Would black soil from
salt marshes be good to put on land
| that is being cultivated.
probability, contains certain
amounts of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid, and potash and, while not as
readily available as in commercial
fertilizer, will add some plant food
in the soil. The organic matter in
the black soil will also be of con
siderable value in improving the
physical, condition of the cultivated
lands especially if they are of sand
or of a Sandy nature. Where the
cost of getting the black soil to the
cultivated fields does not exceed 75
cents a ton the application would
be profitable.

How soon can farmers plow up the
cotton acreage contracted to the
Government?
Answer: Cotton should be de
stroyed as soon as the permit is re
ceived from the County Agent or
person acting in that capacity. Af
ter the cotton is plowed up the
: fields must be inspected by the local
(committee and certified as destroy
ed before settlement can be made.
The sooner the collon is plowed up
therefore and the field inspected
the sooner the grower will receive
prompt payment.

Extends Time Given
Makers Of Fabrics
Washington, July 30.? In his first
executive order, Hugh S. Johnson,
the industrial administrator, to
night further extended the Stay
granted tire fabric manufacturers
from provisions of the cotton textile
code limiting the hours of machine
operation.
The exemption originally granted
by President Roosevelt when he ap
proved the cotton textile code on
July 15, expired today. Johnston's
order extends the stay pending the
President's decision on the conten
tion of tire manufacturers that the
code limitation of machine hours to
two 40-hour shifts or a maximum
of 80 hours a week would cripple
their operation.
The companies principally affect
ed are Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company, Goodyear Tire and Rub
ber Company, United States Rub
ber Company, B. P. Goodrich Rub
ber Company, General Tire and
Rubber Company, Fisk Tire and
Rubber Company and Dunlop Tire
and Rubber Company. The exemp
tion applies, however, to any cot
ton textile mill producing tire fab- |

LAUNDERING FINE LINENo
?yHE beauty of fine linen 1b easily
spoiled If proper care Is not
taken In laundering. Careless
washing and the use of harsh soap
will twist and rot the fine threads,
and make them yellow.
The following simple suggestions
will insure the safe laundering of
linens:
1. Make ' tepid or cool . suds,
using mild. pure, white soap or
flakes. Take no chances on home
made soap. A little borax may be
used to soften very hard water.
2. Soak table linens in clear,
cool water first. Then put into suds
and wash by hand or machine, rub
bing badly soiled places gently.
Only very 'fine linens need be
washed by hand.
3. Squeeze suds out; then put
through three lukewarm rinsing
waters, using a little blueing In
the last for white linens. Do not
wring extremely sheer pieces.
Wrap In towel and squeeze as dry
as possible without twisting.
4. Hang on line smoothly to dry
or lay out flat. White or unbleach
ed linens should be dried in the
?un. colored linens in the shade.
& Sprinkle lightly with clear,
warm water and roll. Wait several
hours before pressing to allow
moisture to become evenly dis
tributed. Press first on right side
and then on wrong with heavy, hot
Iron.
