CARL MORGAN'S DEMONSTRATION IS OUTSTANDING Old Scald Transfcrmsd Into Pasture That'll Graze Ccw To Acre By S. YV. MKNDKNIIAIX (County Agent) Carl Morgan, a demonstration farmer at Stiles, has the out standing pasture demonstration of the county. To begin with, this pasture of four acres not long ago was nothing much but a scald and would not furnish sufficient grazing for a goat. In 1945. it was well limed and phosphated. No farmer should ever say that his pasture is too steep to lime; fo? this pasture of Carl Morgan's is as steep as a horse's face.' A pasture mixture consisting of six pounds blue grass, six pounds of orchard grass, six pounds of herds grass, and two pounds of white Dutch clover was seeded in 1945. Early this spring. 100 pounds of potash and three pounds of ladino clover was applied per acre. The pasture now runs from shoe-mouth deep to half knee high. There has been two cows on it since the last of March. They are in extra good condi tion. one giving four gallons of milk per day with practically no other feed. This four-acre pasture will supply sufficient grazing for four cows and not be over grazed. Every farmer should set that as his goal ? pasture that is good enough to graze one cow per acre. New hospitals be construct ed by the Veterans administra tion in West Virginia, North Carolina, District of Columbia and Maryland will provide 3,371 additional beds for veterans. 4-H Camp Quotas Rais&d By Two More Macon Clubs Two more Macon County 4-H clubs? those at Higdonville and Slagle ? have reported complet ing their quotas for the ntw 4-H camp near Waynesville. and Mi" Nnntahala club, not content w.tti raising $50. is going ahead to increase its total.

State College Hints To Farm Homemakers By Ruth Current Perhaps your blankets are be ginning to show the strain of yanking and pulling because they were too short to begin with. If so; there'll never be a better time to lengthen them with a strip of cloth something suitable, at the bottom. Al though more than 11 million yards of wool went into blank ets during the last quarter of 1945, supplies are still tight. ' Mothproof" containers alone do not eliminate the pest haz ard. If they're tightly enough sealed, with no cracks, they keep moths from getting in from the outside but they don't prevent any moth larvae already lurk ing in the clothes from doing their dirty work. Hence the ne cessity for having the woolens thoroughly cleaned. As an added protection, use a spray or flakes of napthalene, or paradichloro benzene, or moth balls ? a pound for a small chest, three pounds for an average closet. The flakes or balls give off a gas which discourages the larvae .from feeding and kills them if the concentration is high enough. As the gas is heavier than air and sinks, the flakes should be put high in the closet and renewed, if necessary. Don't forget the wool uphols tery on your furniture either. Frequent brushing and cleaning will help keep the moths away. It isn't safe to dress up your overstuffed chair ahd sofa with furniture covers for the summer and forget .about the upholstery ?not if it has wool in it. Better take a look at it once in awhile, clean any spots and brush away the dust and any insect eggs that may be waiting to hatch out. PLAY SAFE . . .
