Home Labor .
Must Meet
Farm Needs
Labor which farmers them
selves can supply or draw from
adjacent communities must suf
fice in the production of North
Carolina crops this year it was
announced by F 8. Sloan, state
program leader of the State
College Extension Service, who
said that outside help from mi
grants, toreign workers and
"Bohunks" will be exceedingly
short as compared with the vol
ume avail ible in war years. No
prisoners of war, who worked
312,485 man-days in 58 North
Carolina counties last year, will
be available for farm labor after
June 1, Sioan reported.
Meanwhile, it appeared doub
ly imperative that state farm
ers pool machinery and avail
able labor on an exchange basis
especially in perishable crops
areas because of the prospect
that farmer labor will demand
higher pay as industry ups its
wage scale.
Sloan also reminded that
many older and physically-hand
icapped persons who filled in at
firm work during wartime, now
are leaving the farm in Increas
ing numbers. Of the 9,661 boys
and girls under 18 years of age
who worked on farms in the
state last year, many will not
return this year because the
patriotic appeal enhanced by
the waf now has been lost.
On the basis of figures avail
able thus far. Sloan declared,
it is expected that less than one
In 10 former farm boy veterans
will return to farms in this
state. Brunswick County Agent
J. E. Dodson reported that of
16 farm lads who entered the
services during the war from
one community in that county,
all have since been discharged
from service but only one has
gone back to the farm.

Here Are Tipe For
Handling Beef Cattle !
Noting that several thousand |
baby beef calves are now being
fed out for spring and fall fat
stock shows by farm lads in
every section of the state, H. I
Bruce Butler, assistant Wake
County farm agent, says that
| "by this time all calves should
be on full feed," using one of
! the home-mixed feeds such as
the following:
Eight pounds of cracked corn,
two pounds cracked oats ihd
one pound of cotton seed meal.
The above ration mixture is
preferred, Butler reports, adding
that the following may be used
if oats are not available:
Ten pounds of corn and cob
meal with one pound of cotton
seed meal.
I Butler explained that "full
feed means keeping feed before
the calf in a trough about 14
; Inches above the ground with a
box containing loose table salt
j along side.
The calf should be taught to
walk slowly beside Its handler,
Butler continued, indicating that
a rope halter handled from the
calf's left side Is a helpful
teaching Instrument.
The young animal should be
exercised and trained out of
doors as the weather permits,
the assistant agent said, and its
coat combed regularly to remove
dead hair. The calf should be
treated monthly with a sulphur -
rotenone mixture to control lice
and warbles.
Neat, accurate records of the
. animal's growth and progress is
a vital part of production, But
ler concluded.

Timely Farm Questions
Q. What is the prospect for
additional farm labor in North
Carolina this year?
A. Prisoners of war are out.
Very few veterans are returning
to farms; many older persons
, and those physically handicap
; ped will be unable to help out
! this year. Little assistance can
I be expected from migrant and
foreign workers, so it appears
that local labor will have to
serve the purpose.
Q. What is the veteran's out
| look for starting in the poultry j
business?
A. Veterans' prospects as be
ginners in poultry production
are probably a shade better
than for non-veterans because
of government assistance but
no new poultry business should
be started unless the operator |
has first obtained a trustworthy
guarantee that sufficient pro
tein feed will be available for
feeding out the flock.
the farm labor problem this
year," Sloan said, "is to urge
farmers to increase efficiency
by pooling resources."
