Corn in Silo Makes
A Good Winter Feed
Comparatively few North Caro
lina farmers take full advantage of
their corn crop in producing feed
for winter consumption.
Corn made into silage produces
more succulent roughage per acre
than any . other known crop, said
F. R. Farnham, extension dairy
specialist at State college.
The trench silo, he added, is the
very thing for small farms where
large upright .silos would be im
practical. Trech silos, inexpensive and con
venient, are also being used more
and more on farms where large
herds are kept, Farnham pointed
out.
There is a growing tendency to
ward silage in preference to dry
hays, he continued. Unfavorable
weather at harvesting time is less
serious for silage than when hay
is being cut and cured.
Silage is succulent and keeps cat
tle in good condition through the
winter. Silage production requires
less acreage and, therefore, per
mits the use of soil-building crops
on land that would otherwise be
needed for growing hay.
The construction of a trench silo
is fairly simple, the specialist stat
ed. A narrow trench should be dug
on farms where only a few ani
mals are to be fed.
Farnham said he has known of
a father and son, using a team of
mules with a plow and a slip
scrape, digging a silo and filling
it in three days with enough silage
to feed 10 cows six months.
A cheap roof placed over the silo
will help protect the feed from bad
weather and keeps the walls from
caving in, he added.

Pigs to Bring Good
Price in Few Weeks
Good prices expected for
early this fall offer growers an in
ducement to make their pigs gain
weight rapidly.
Pigs being prepared for market
should be ready for sale in August
or early, September,, said H. W.
Taylor, extension swine specialist
at State college.
Swine should be provided with
cool, shady places where they will
be protected from the hot sun.
Heat, saps a hog's vitality, and
keeps pigs from making as . rapid
gains as they should, he explained.
If natural shade is not available,
an artificial shade can be made
with boards, brush, or straw. A
constant supply of fresh water
should also be available.
Every hog in the herd should
have access to a good mineral mix
ture. Good pasture is a necessity,
Taylor emphasized.
He recommended a mineral mix
ture of 10 pounds of ground lime
stone, 5 pounds of steamed bone
meal, and 2 pounds of salt. Do not
mix the minerals with the feed,
but keep them in a separate place
where they will stayulry.
Corn may be hogged down after
it has passed the dough stage.
Where hogs are turned into stand
ing corn, a self-feeder containing
tankage or fish meal should be
placed in the corn field.
Or- a good protein supplement
may 'be made with equal parts of
tankage and cottonseed meal, or
fish meal and cottonseed meal, the
swine specialist pointed out.
The mineral mixture should also
be provided in the field where corn
is being hogged down, he added.

Banks Have Money
To Handle Crops
WINSTON-SALEM, AUG. 18.
Ample money to provide orderly
marketing of the State's bumper
crops is available through North
Carolina banks, was the opinion
expressed here today by Robert
M. Hanes, president of the Wa
chovia Bank and Trust company.
He stated that approval of a gov
ernment loan on cotton might be
desirable as a price stabilizer, but
that in his opinion bankers gener
ally were anxious- to lend money
on cotton and other farm products
and "had abundant funds for this
purpose. .
"North Carolina has the best
state cotton warehouse system in
the country," stated Mr. Hanes,
"and ' receipts for cotton stored in
approved warehouses is good col
lateral at any bank. Our institution,
operating .in different sections of
the state, is ready to lend millions
of dollars to farmers, farm agencies
and warehousemen. Other banks, I
am sure, Will do the same. There
need be no dumping of our abun
dant harvest.
"Bank loans are naturally based
on market prices, and approval of
a government loan . on cotton may
be needed to establish a minimum
price, but the money to market the
crop in an orderly manner can
readily be supplied by the. banks."
The N. C. employment service
will have 10 district and 35 branch
offices in the state to help with
unemployment compensation and
try to find jobs for all unemployed
workers. The offices are all expect
ed to be operating this fall.
The North Carolina unemploy
ment commission has the names
and social security account numbers
of about 620,000 workers in the
.state, about 4,60,000 of whom are
under the unemployment compen
sation act.
