Q. Why don't you recommend
wheat as a temporary grazing
crop?
A. Temporary grazing crops
should be planted at just about
this time to give the maximum
amount ot (all and spring (raz

agronomists. On the other hind
James T. Conner, Jr., Extension
entomologist, says that if wheat
is planted now, it will also bring
a crop of Hessian flies. They
will not only damage the fall
rrop of wheat planted now but
they will also damage wheat
next spring ? that whfth was
planted after the fly-free date,
Early sown wheat often gives
excellent grazing but it's mighty
dangerous to plant it. It , may

N. C. FOLK NEED'
TO DRINK TWICE
AS MUCH MILK
But Ar^y Explains 175,000
More Cows, Much More
Roughage Necessary
North Carolinians need to
dun* about twice as much
sweet milk as is now being pro- j
duced irt the state to bring j
them up to the national aver- j
age of about 95 gallons per per- j
son.
Just how can this extra milk
be obtained? John Arey, in
charge, of Extension dairying at ;
State college, says that an ex- j
tra 175,000 cows can do it, but
at' the same time he points out
that not enough good roughage
is being produced to feed the,
livestock already on the farms. '
There are all kinds of rami- \
locations to this milk problem
and the development of a bet- 1
ter diet. Mr. Arey says that we
need about 450,000 tons of extra j
iuy to feed all animals on
Worth Carolina farms.
He explains that more milk
may be obtained through better
breeding of dairy cows, better
not only damage your wheat but
also that of your neighbor? and
you would not want to do that.
Q. Can you give me informa
tion about blueberries for the
iiume garden?
A E B Morrow, in research
on small fruits for the Agricul
tural Experiment station at
State college, has prepared just
such information for you and
vill be glad to send it to you
on request. He points out that
blueberries require an acid soil,
a uniform moisture supply, cor
rect fertilization, and pruning
each year. "The attractive bell- j
I .shaped spring fall flowers, the
j delicious fruit, and the brilliant
colored fall foliage make them
| well worth / a little extra care
' and ottention," Morrow says
You can also get a copy of
i Farmers Bulletin No. 1951 by
writing the U. S. Department of
Agriculture at Washington, D
C. It is called "Blueberry Grow

Don't Cut Aiialta
Too Late In Season
Alfalfa should be allowed to
go mto winter quarters with
about six inches 01 growth, so
as to protect it against severe
winter weather and lo^ o.
stand.
It is difficult to give an ex
act date as to when the iast
cutting should be made, anu
every farmer will have to de
termine this point for himself.
Agronomists of the Extension
service at State college say that
under no condition should the
crop be cut later than the last
week in September, and under
some conditions this is a dan
^eious procedure.
The alfalfa ? plants need to
produce relatively good growth
after the last cutting and to
store up plenty of food to car
ry the crop through the wnuei
months in good condition, with
out the plants being weakened
by the cold. No one can tell
what the rainfall will be dur
ing the fall and Just how soon
the first frost will come.
The same principle applies to
the seeding of alfalfa. It should
be sown prior to October 15, ac
cording to the agronomists
The plants should be allowed
to establish a good root system
before cold weather begins. A
Wake County farmer seeded
some alfalfa about the first oi
September and another plot
about the middle of October
The late-seeded alfalfa came uv
to I a better stand than tha
which was sown early and h(
decided that maybe the agro
nomists had made a mistake ii
advocating early seeding.
The next spring he changed
his mind. The early-sown crop
established a relatively gooc*
stand while the late-sown croj
died out during the winter, and
he had more weeds and grass
than alfalfa.
feeding practices, improved farrr
management, more feed crop.*
and more cows Along with thi.'
nrogram, he suggests that Tar
Heels can learn to drink morf
milk and make a much wide,
use of it in the daily diet.
At present it appears tha
he biceest problem is that o
feed ? principally good. higl
quality roughage and grazing
crops. With long growing sea
ons here in North Carolina
State college agronomists sa?
there is no valid reason for no
"rowing the supplemental graz
tng crops, both winter and sum
mer. and putting in well ferti
lized permanent pastures, seed
ed with the right kind of le
gumes and grasses.
With plenty of good roughage,
Mr. Arey says that the average
cow needs about 17 bushels of
corn, 12 bushels of oats, and
500 pounds of protein meal foi
good production. The protein
meal can come from cotton
seed. soybeans, and peanuts, all
"of which crops are well adapted
in North Carolina.
