S. cor,n crop since 1936 hits Morth Carolina's 20,000 com mercial dairymen? ? J. A. Arey, in charge of dairy ing for the State college exten sion service said this week that this scarcity of corn and its in fluence on feed prices, coupled with extremely high labor costs, will cut the How of milk to major outlets at a time of year when local production is "al ready too low to meet the de mand." He said that many dairymen may be forced to stand by while decreases in milk production sharply affect the price of milk to the consumer. "Corn should be the back- 1 bone of any dairy ration," the' specialist said, adding that the price of this ingredient largely ' determines the price of mixed dairy feeds. "With the price of dairy feed [ plready at an all-time high, [ and getting higher, because of j prospects for a short corn crop, this state's dairymen who are J already operating on a close | margin will be seriously handi- \ capped." Mr. Arey said this may even lead to dispersal of some herds. Very few North Carolina dairy farmers grow enough grain feed for their own requirements, Mr Arey pointed out. Thus a corn crop nearly one-fourth short of last year's production will strike this 65-million-dollar-a-year in dustry a serious blow, he said. As an emergency measure ti offset this critical grain short age, Mr. Arey urged that a large crop of temporary graaing be seeded early this tall. "With plenty of good grazing," he said, "a fairly good production of milk can be obtained on a lim ited grain ration." Ways To Keep Eggs At Top Quality Cited By Brown Egg supplies for the remainder ol 1947 available to consumers tire expected to be somewhat lighter than they were a year ogo, T. T. Brown, extension poultry specialist at State col lege, said this week. For this reason, he said, it is desirable that every effort be made to make available to con sumers the greatest possible number of quality eggs. This can be done by co^erving qual ity, from the fai throughout all steps of marketing, he added ' To help conserve the quality of eggs produced, Mr. Brown I offered these timely suggestions: Collect eggs at least three times a day. Less frequent col lections delay the proper cool ing of eggs. Collect eggs in wire baskets where possible, as this will permit the circulation of resh air around every ?gg. The basket should be placed in a cool, moist place for at least 21 hours before the eggs are packed. ' Eggs soon deteriorate if left where it is too warm and dry. The water in the eggs evapor ates, the air cell enlarges, the <vhite becomes thin, and the yolk enlarges and weakens. A humidity of 85 to #0 per cent is desirable when eggs are to | be stored ' for any length of time. When the moisture con tent of the air is less than this average, steps should be taken to supply more moisture. One practical and effective method for use on farms is the hang ing of wet burlap in rooms' where eges are stored, or sprink ling or moistening the floors, and cases or cartons in which eggs are to be packed should be cooled in the moist room. URGES WINTER, EARLY SPRING PASTURE CROPS AAA Office Releasing Winter Peas And Ryegrass The Agricultural Adjustment office, In the Agricultural build ing, is now releasing Austrian winter peas and Italian ryegrass seed for winter cover crop use and for grazing, it was an- 1 nounced this week. In view of the developing feed shortage, which will have severe tffect this -winter and nexi spring, it is suggested tha farmers now plan to have tern porary winter and early sprint pasture by sowing cropland t, winter cover crops. In 1946, the local office distri buted in excess of 60,000 pjunu of winter peas and 34,000 pound; of crimson clover. This year d:. cribution has begun later thai the previous year, and the farm ers are expected to obtain ap proximately 30,000 pounds of winter peas this fall for sowing Italian ryegrass gives an early grazing period, that furnishes livestock with a green crop when needed most, it was said. A mix ture of ryegrass with Crimsoi: clover or winter peas or vetch has been highly successful ir< _ bringing cattle through the winter months in excellent con dition ? All orders for ryegrass ancf Austrian winter peas must be placed with the County AAA of fice. The cost of the ryegrass is $3.00 per hundred pounds, while the winter peas cost the farmer $2.30 per hundred pounds. Pay ment is made sft the time the order is placed with the AAA. Any farmer not now signed with the AAA program can ar lange to get the seed by signing a work sheet and farm plan in the near future, it was explain ed. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Question: ? What care should i sow be given at farrowing time? Answer:? Three are four days before farrowing the richness and quantity of the sow's feed should be reduced at least one half and only wheart bran or- ground oats should be fed the day prior to farrowing. She should have plenty of water, but r.o grain, for the first 24 hovirs after farrowing. Beginning the second day after farrowing feed a light slop consisting of wheat bran or ground oats, then gradually increase the grain and decrease the wheat bran or ground oats so that the sow wiil be on full feed when the pigs are ten days to two weeks old. If the pigs develop scours, ; or the sow's udder becomes caked, remove the feed at once and give her only water or thin clop, containing wheat bran or CLOSING OUT ONE LOT Of Ladies' and Children's * Sweaters * Skirts * Dresses ALSO ONE LOT OF BOYS' Pants and Sweaters ?
