Soybeans Make Good
Grazing For Cattle .
Soybeans will grov well in sandy
soils and provide late summer graz
ing for dairy cattle in Eastern
North Carolina, said A. C. Kimrey,
extension dairy specialist at State
college in telling of a. demonstra
tion conducted in Dare county this
summer. , '
Mrs, R. Bruce. Etheridge, of
Manteo, and B. A. Williams, of
Wanchese, conducted the experi
ment by growing the soybeans , in
narrow rows, and having several
fields for the cows to graze. in. ro
tation. Williams planted two fields of
about three acres each, and let the
cows graze in one and then the
other. He would leave them in one
field until they had most of the
leaves off, but not long enough" for
them to graze too close to the
stalks. .
Then while the. cows were shift
ed to the other field, the first field
would 'grow out another crop of
foliage.- By thus., alternating the
fields, Williams got three grazings
-off each, and cut his, feed bill in
half. The cows also increased their
milk' production, he, told County
Agent C. W. Overman.
Mrs. Etheridge had several acres
which . were treated - in the I same
manper, and she too got an increase
in milk production while cutting her
feed costs. She also plans to pro
vide plenty' of grazing for her herd
this fall and winter by seeding ap
proximately 10 acres to , vetch and
small grain.
Kimrey - said he is especially
pleased with the results of the ex
periment, for one -of the problems
confronting Eastern North Carolina
farmers is providing adequate good
grazing.
Clothe Farm Lands
With Winter Cover
The greatest single item in the
program ..to clothe North Carolina
farm lands with a cover of green
this winter, was the procuring last
week of. 150,000 pounds of vetch
and Austrian winter pea seed by
400 farmers of Bertie county. .
The seed were secured in cpoper
ation with the .agricultural adjust
ment administration, whose officials
allowed the farmers to .buy-'the
seed at cost with payment to be
made by deduction from the' soil
conservation checks due the grow
ers for ' 1938 participation in the
crop program. Four eastern Caro
lina counties were selected by ex
tension and trjple-A officers at
State "college. Three of these coun
ties, Hertford, Pender and Duplin,
each ordered 28,000 pounds of vetch
and 12,000 pounds of Austrian peas.
In Bertie county, however, farm
agent B. E. Grant put on a special
educational campaign " to promote
the use of winter legumes in sou
improvement, and, as a , result, ord
ers were received for 88,000 pounds
of vetch and 62,000 pounds of pea
seed. The shipment arrived iix three
solid-cars on October 1 and a spe
cial occasion was made of deliver
ing the seed on Monday, October 3.
Farmers came in autos," trucks,
carts and wagons to haul home the
individual shipments. Along with
in International
the seeCs, trie owners also took
home enough inoculation to treat
seeds for planting oh 3,300 acres.
Additional inoculation will be order
ed by. Mr. Grant since it is ex
pected that the seeds on hand will
be sufficient to plant more than
5,000 acres of fiertie farm land. .
Definite instruction about how to
inoculate .the seeds and how to
plant and tend the- crop were given
by Mr. Grant to each individual
farmer taking part iin the shipment.
Cold Weather Fails
To Check Bug Pests
"Don't let cold- weatner lull you
into a false sense of security
against household insects," warns
J. O. Rowell, extension entomolo
gist at State, college.
Before .modern, heatiog.-came into
general use, he said, houses would
get cold enough in winter to check
the damage of clothes moths', car
pet beetles, cockroaches, silverfish,
and other such pests.
But now many homes are so well
heated in winter, and are so well
constructed .that - insects keep up
their activities the year round.
Hence, clothes in storage must be
protected in winter as well, as in
summer. ' k
Housewives 1 can reduce insect
damage to clothes by brushing, sun
ning, and airing them frequently
during the winter. It is1 alsoi a
good plan to clean all cracks and
corners of closets and. storage
rooms. . , '
Wool sweaters and other gar
ments that are even slightly soiled
are particularly appetizing to
moths. Clothes that are going to be
left hanging up very long at a
time should be cleaned and packed
in moth-proof containers- Naphtha
lene or paradichlorobenzene flakes
give added protection to clothes iin
storage. " , .
Cleanliness is, a good protection
not only against clothes moths and
carpet beetles, Rowell continued,
but also against kitchen insects.
. The small, grayish, scale-covered
insects known as silverfish, thrive
in damp, warm basements, but often
do much, damage in other parts of
the house, feeding, upon paperbook
bindings, starchy or sweet, food, and
sometimes on fabrics, especially
rayon. They can be controlled with
a poison bait made . of oatmeal,
white arsenic, sugar, salt, and with
enough water to moisten.
State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
Q. How much grain should; I
feed my dairy animals each day ?
A. -This depends' .upon the indi
vidual animal and the amount of
milk normally produced. For Jer
sey cows the grain ieed is about
six-tenths of a pound for ,each
pound of milk above ,10 pounds.
Guernseys take about .55 of " a
pound of grain for each pound of
milk above 12, and t Ayrshires and
Holsteins' should receiye about .45
of a pound of, grain for each pound
of milk above 14. .If each cow, how
ever, is studied as an . individual it
is easy ,to : determine the exact
amount of grain for most profitable
production, . , ,
Spotligftt
Q; What is -the oest way to ino
culate soils for-legumes?
A. ; Soils may be- inoculated with
a pure culture secured from the
local seed dealer or with other
soils that are already inoculated;
Where a field Tias already been ino
culated by growing some legume
this soil may be used with from 20
to 50 bushels broadcast or drilled
in on the acre. This soil should be
disked in immediately. If 'pure cul
ture is used, this, should be prepared
as directed on the container and the.
seed planted as .soon, as possible
after treating.
Q. Is it profitable to carry old
hens over as breeders in. the poul
try flock ?
A. Many successful breeders keep
on . an average from 30 to 60 per
cent of " the '.old : hens1 from year : to
year. Select : old hens usually are.
superior ; to medium pullets, and
from a breeding standpoint are very
desirable to. have in the flock.
Under no conditions should hens
with short, shallow, and narrow
bodies be kept in the flock as such
birds have poor laying capacity. It
is best, however, not, to keep old
hens more than three years at the
most ,and many farm ' flock owners
follow the . practice of not keeping
them for more than two laying
years.
Word-of -mouth praise is spread
ing the idea of sowing crimson
clover on pasture for winter cover,
grazing, and pasture improvement
in Madison county, with the farm
agent expecting a large acreage 'to
be planted to this legume.

Experiment Station Asks
More Money for Research
An increasing demand for re
search work will prompt the North
Carolina experiment station to ask
the ' genera,l assembly for an in
crease of - $82,735 yearly for " the
next biennium, said Dr. I. O. Schau'b
of State college, acting director of
the station.1 '
At the. present time, the income
of the experiment .station from
state sources amounts to $45,600.-Dr.
Schaub explained that $5,000 comes
from the general fund for special
apple research, . $26,350 from the
agricultural . fund, and $14,200 from
miscellaneous receipts.
If the increase is granted, it will
provide the necessary offset to
meet the $128,285 in federal funds
authorized under the Bankhead
Jones Act. '
.The request calls for an addition
al $5,000 for apple research so that
the work .might be spread more
evenly over the state and take care
of problems other than disease.
Peach . research would be appro
priated $15,000 for the study of in
sect and disease control, fertiliza
tion, soil building, and other prob
lems in connection . with the pro
duction and marketing of this fruit.
The 1937 general assembly : pro
vided for a peanut farm but did not
appropriate funds for necessary ex
penses and the employment of
workers. It is proposed to allocate
$10,000 for special peanut research.
Bulbs and flowers, because , of
their increasing importance, would
be allowed $10,000. Beef cattle and
sheep would be appropriated $15,
000 for research work, especially in
the mountain territory.
Inadequate research with vege
tables would be remedied to ., a
certain extent by the $12,000 ap
propriation asked for. Soil testing
work would get $15,000.
