What is the least number of cows needed for a beginner in the dairy business? - A. This, depends upon the amount of good roughage and pasture on the farm, but five animals is the least number recommended. With less than five cows the returns will not justify the expense of the needed equipment. The cost of de livery will be practically double that from herds of five to 10 cows. The amount of home-grown feed avail uble also will determine the profit from the dairy herd and, no mat ter how many cows, are fed, it is not profitable to use bought feed when the products are sold on a secondary market. Q, How much plant bed should I seed for planting 100 acres of to bacco? A, It generally requires about 100 square yards of bed space for each two acres of tobacco to be planted. However, it is wise to seed an ex cess of bed in order to insure an adequate supply of plants. It is ul so better to seed several small beds widely separated on the farm than one large bed. This will increase the chances of .some of the-beds, escaping the 'blue mold. In prepar ing the bed, first remove all stumps and roots and then break the soil finely with a disc harrow or some "other .suitable instrument. Q. Should eggs be handled after they are placed in the incubator or under .the hen ? A. When eggs are hatched in an incubator they should be turned three or more times a day from the third to the 18th day. Be sure the hands are clean and free from oil or grease when the eggs are turned. If hatched under a hen, this handling is unnecessary as the hen will take care of the necessary moving. However, all hatching eggs should be candled on the seventh day and all dead germs and infer tile eggs removed from the hatch. tHE FRANKLIN PA 33 AND fHfi HIGHLANDS MACONIAN jf rdb Stagecoach to.

Terraces Alone Do Not Solve Erosion Problem Construction of terraces alone to intercept run-off water in farm fields doesn't solve the farm water disposal problem, according to W. D. Lee, soil conservationist of the State college extension service, and E. B. Garrett, state coordinatbr of the U. S. soil conservation service. Failure to provide for proper dis posal of water concentrated by terraces has resulted in tremendous damage to farm lands in the past, they point out. Modern methods demonstrated in: erosion control projects and now being put into ef feet in soil conservation districts, provide protected . areas on which water concentrated in terraced fields can be emptied safely, Development of an effective system of terraces, and outlets re auires definite nlannin? in advance of terracing so as to take into consideration all the problems in volved in drainage and water-disposal, the specialists say. Advantage thus can be taken of all natural drainage ways in plan ning a terracing system and, where adequate vegetation is already es tablished in these natural drainage ways, proper location of terraces leading to these can be determined and these terraces can be construct ed as soon as desired. With location of other disposal areas determined by the water dis posal plan, vegetation can be es tablished on these locations before the remaining terraces are built. Pre-treatment of these areas will greatly- simplify t the water disposal problem. TTnniE dDIF IFIHlAMKILnM ? mursluy, dec u, m Bryant Furniture Co.
