Electricity Boosts Farmers' Efficiency Electricity, a powerful and rela tively new tool on the farm, is speeding the efficiency of North Carolina farmers in the current drive to strengthen national de fense, .says D. E. Jones, rural elec trification specialist of N. C. State college. - Some farmers have been - .using this servant in their work for the past five or six years, but with greater emphasis on increased pro duction and efficiency, they are now broadening their use of this power. In addition, others who have used it in only small way for household purposes are applying' it to farm jobs and finding it the easiest, quickest, and cheapest way of do ing their larger chores, the State college specialist pointed out. In dairying, it tnilks the cows, cools the milk, pumps the water, grinds the feed, heats the water, and sterilizes the utensils. On the poultry farm, it broods the chicks, heats , the drinking fountain, lights the laying house, grinds the feed, pumps the water, and, in a few cases, hatches the chicks. ' For the truck grower, it heats the plant bed, pumps water for ir rigation, operates a spray pump, provides refrigeration and ice at marketing time, operates a grader, a washer, a sacker, and a loading machine, and in the case of sweet, potatoes, supplies' heat for curing and sorting. I Each of these operations brings the farmer lower production costs, savings in labor, and a better fin ished" product. Thus, he is able to increase his food supply, to pre pare it better for market, and to cure and .store in more satisfactor ily. . Lake Emory By MRS. O. V.

This is particularly true in the case of farmers who are following recommendations of their county agents and applying fertilizer to their fall wheat crop. By doing so they not only will get in creased yields, of wheat but also add fertility for the following year's hay crop. "It is not infrequent for the Increased yield of clover and other hay crops which follow fertilized wheat to be sufficient to pay for the whole fertilizing operation," according to H. R. Smalley, Director of Soil Im provement Work, The National Fertilizer Association.X On a demonstration farm in Michigan, the increased yield of alfalfa hay during a two-year period following wheat ' which was fertilized with complete fer tilizer, amounted to 3,771 pounds of hay. At the average price of alfalfa hay, the increase is worth 19.00 an acre for the two years. One of the best ways to start a high-producing pasture is to fertilize the wheat crop heavily this fall and seed the pasture next spring. In an experiment at Wposter, Ohio, an application of 450 pounds of fertilizer gave an increase of 18 bushels of wheat and more than doubled the pasture yield for several years following.
