State College Answers Timely Farm Questions 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 ing. according to State college 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.

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.

Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Mozeley and small son, Euuie, ii\.m Washington, D. C., are visiting relatives here. Mrs. Grady Mozeley from Charlotte spent last week-end with home folks. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ricjcman 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.
