THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1937 THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN PAGE SEVEN fr ... . Says Potatoes Make - Excellent Hog Feed Irish potatoes boiled in salt water make a good, inexpensive hog fepd, ' said II. W. Taylor, extension swine .specialist at State college. The bumper crop of potatoes pro duced in eastern North Carolina this spring have driven prices toa low point and made second grade and cull potatoes available at a(i unusually low cost, he added. Inferior gradej spuds can 'be fed to hogs profitably, he continued, and this will help reduce the sur plus that' demoralized the market. But be careful not to feed raw Irish potatoes, he continued, as they may injure the porkers. Cooked spuds are nutritious and harmless if fed with corn, fish ' meal or tankage, and pasturage, Taylor explained. Three to four pounds of potatoes have about the same feed value as a pound of corn. With each three to four pounds of spuds, he said, feed at least a pound of corn. Too many spuds will throw the ration out of bal ance. If the potatoes are boiled in salt water they will be more palatable, and will furnish part of the salt the animals need. The salt water, however, should be thrown away, as it is harmful to hogs. When thoroughly cooked, the spuds are easily digested and are a good source of minerals, carbo hydrates, and vitamins. The skins also provide roughage. Says Meadow" Is His Most Fertile Field One of the most productive fields on the farm of Joe Brown, in Madison county, has not been plowed in 63 years. It has been reseeded only once, and that was just after a flood some years ago had covered the field with several inches of silt. This two-acre meadow along a creek running through his farm produces four to five' tons of high quality hay ever year, and occa sionally it is used to pasture cattle over the winter. Brown told George W. Miller, farm agent of the State college ex tension service in Madison county that the sod of perennial grasses and legumes is so thick that none of Jhe soil has been lost in the past 63 years. . But from time to time when the creek rises, deposits of silt are left on the meadow, and today it has a fertile topsoil several feed deep. The spongy, porous topsoil will soak up large quantities of rain water and hold it long after the rain has stopped falling, Brown said. Thus the meadow is little ef fected by long, dry spells. Miller commented that this one - field is a good demonstartion of the value of good land in making pro ductive pastures, and of the im portance of soil-conserving crops to check erosion, conserve moisture, and build up soil fertility. Pasturage is the cheapest form of dairy and beef cattle .feed to be found in the State, he continued. Yet many farmers fail to take ad vantage of the possibilities they have for making good, permanent pastures. As a result, livestock pro duction costs are higher in North Carolina than in most of the other states.
