STANDARD REALTY COMPANY or J. H. STOCKTON, Attorney Work Horse Needs Water, Rest, Salt Dr C. D. Grinnells, veteri narian for the Agricultural Ex periment station at State col lege, says that fewer horses will be lost this summer, if owners' will give the animals needed rest, a good supply of salt, plenty of green feeds and roughage, rather than so much corn, and generous amounts ol water. He points out that the horse loses much moisture and salt from the system after several days of hard work and . this re sults in exhaustion As the sol dier is given salt tablets during the lQng march in hot weather,' so the horse should have ac cess to the salt box for several hours every day and night. A minimum of corn and other starchy foods are needed by the horse during hot weather, ac cording to Dr. Grinnells, who suggests pasturage and plenty of good roughage for the prin cipal fields During the long, hot days the horse needs plenty of water both internally and externally, and rest periods from time to time. When the horse is un harnessed, a bath with a sprink ling pot and a good rub down is advisable. In the event that the animal does suffer a iieat stroke, Dr. Grinnells suggests that it be carried to the shade immedi ately, bathed with cool water, and a call made for the veter inarian. State College Hints To Farm Homemakers Bv RITH CURRENT N. C. State College Although there are many types of hair and scalp condi ditions, certain hair grooming habits are helpful to anyone Most important of all, and per haps the most neglected, is a daily brushing. Fi,ve minutes at night is all that is needed. Use a stiff brush to make long vig orous strokes. Don't be afraid of disturbing a wave or rear ranging a part. Brushing is important for several reasons. First, it helps to remove dirt and dust accumu lated in the hair during the day. Second, it stimulates the ngrves and glands. If the oil glands are underactive, the; stimulation to greater activity helps to keep the hair from be ing too dry. If the glands are RULES LISTED FOR SUCCESS WITH ALFALFA Agronomists At State College Offer Suggestions In growing a specialized crop i such as. alfalfa, certain definite J rules must be followed in start- 1 ing the crap. A good stand is the first requirement. Agronomy specialists at State college say that now is the time j to disk in that crop of lespe deza, soybeans, or cowpeas with I a "bush and hog" harrow, leav ing as ijiuch vegetation on the soil surface as possible. Fertilization is 700 pounds or more of 2-12-12 per acre, with enough borax in the mixture to give about 30 pounds per acre. The best varieties to plant are Kansas common, Oklahoma common, or Utah common? ' about 25 pounds per acre.. In I oculation is needed. Time to plant is the latter part of August or the first part of September in 'the central and eastern sections of North Caro- ! lina. In the mountains, the best overactive and discharging too much oil, brushing helps to dis ; tribute the oil more evenly over ' the hair and prevents oil" from becoming clogged at the roots. To some persons, voice is a great asset ? to others it is a definite handicap. But in most cases, an . unpleasant speaking voice is the result ef bad hab its, such as speaking from the ] throat in a high, thin voice, rather than from the dia phragm. Effort spent in breath ing control and in keeping the | voice pitched low, will often bring all the improvement which i.s needed. Another common mistake, especially for teen-agers, is the tendency to slur words together and to be lazy about enunciat ing properly. Speaking slowly, and being cpnscious of enunci ating distinctly, is probably the only practice necessary for cor rection of this bad habit. Many persons have a tendency to speak with "a nasal quality which is very unpleasant to the ears. Just as in changing tne pitch of the speaking tone, the best way to improve a nasal , voice is to practice breathing from the diaphram in order to bring the more natural voice out rich and full. seeding dates range from Aug- p ust 1 to IS. a Alfalfa requires additional B lime on most soils On soils ? that have not been limed in recent years, it will be best to , make an application of about two tons per acre of dolomitic limestone. It is necessary for the crop to establish a good root system so as to live through the winter without loss of stand, and this calls for planting of the crop on time. Experienced growers find that it Is well to be prepared for planting considerably in ad vance of the seeding date. They like to plant in "turnip weath er." With the soil carefully pre- 1 pared well in advance, the grow er waits until the weather man predicts general showers over the area Then he rushes to seed his alfalfa so as to be pre ? JOIN ?
