URGES PLENTY ! OF WATER FOR DAIRY HERDS Arey Says It's Even More Important In Winter The old saying that "con tented cows give more milk" n.ay be even more true during the winter months when avail able water ils a big factor, says J A Arey, in charge of exten sion dairying for State college. "Cows may be content to drink from a creek or spring in the warm months," Mr. Ar?y says, "but in the winter when ice and snow prevail, they may iind this supply inconvenient and thus will not drink as much water as they would if a con tinuous supply was available to them near the barn." Pointing out that normal milk is 87 per cent water, he says that the quantity of milk produced by a given cow can be considerably limited if she finds the water trough frozen over or Is forced to walk long distances to a creek Medium temperature is important in a aairy cow's winter supply of water, he added. Stressing the need for plenty of clean fresh water in the wintertime. Mr. Arey says that a cow usually consumes from three to five pounds of water a day for each pound milk produced. Under average con ditions. he says, a dairy herd, including both dry and milking cows, needs from 12 to 15 gal lons of good water a day for each cow.

By choosing the more plenti ful foods from each group, the family usually can adjust to changing food supplies, and still be sure of a well-balanced diet. Also, foods that are more plen tiful are likely to be less ex pensive. If there are small children in the family, avoid very salty or highly seasoned dishes, rich i or greasy foods.

Parrish. in charge of poultry for the State college extension service, announced that a re cent summary of state farm de monstration flocks indicates that hens laying less than 140 eggs a year netted the owner 48 cents while birds producing ! 200 or moVe eggs averaged $4.76 Labor profit. * "The difference between these two averages." Mr. Parrish said. "Is the difference between good management and bad manage ment? between good feeding and poor feeding." Pointing to the old. widely proved axiom pf the poultry industry, "The "more they lay-, the more they pay!", Mr. Par rish said that good flock man agement. proper feeding and frequent culling must be observ ed, or the farmer will find him self providing his hens with free board and room Taking another look at the suummarws. hens laying from k 140 to 160 eggs a y?ar averag ed $1.62 labor profit over all costs: from 160 to 180. $2.88: and from 180 tp 200, $4.23. These averages represent the records of 43 farm demonstra tion flock owners for one year. Mr. Parrish said. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. What's wrong with a wal nut tree that does not mature its nuts? A. This condition may be due . to lack of food in the soil, ac cording to Extension Farm Foresters who suggest that about February 1. the tree be fertilized with a good applica tion of phosphate and potash mixture. The tree can be ferti lized by using a crowbar to make holes about two 'feet deep in a double circle around the tree. The foresters say to place these circles of holes about three feet apart out near the end of the limbs ? that is, where the water from the limbs drops. Fill these holes to within about six inches of the top of the ground, then close the holes. As the fertilizer dissolves, it will feed the tree. The nuts should then mature and hold until they ripen. , Q. Can soil-borne diseases be controled by chemical treat ment? A. Fumigation and other chemical soil treatments show promise in combatting some of our worst soil-borne diseases in North Carolina. H. R. Garris, Extension plant pathologist, says that we should remember that most of these treatments are relatively new and need further investigation before definite recommendations for their use are made. He warns that improper or unwise use of such agents as chloroplcrtn, uramon, Isocobrome D, and oth ers may be dangerous and might produce disappointing re sults. A summary of the status of chemical soil treatments has been prepared by the Plant Pathology Section and It is worthwhile Information to have on file.
