Timely Farm Questions Q. Are conditions favorable for raising beef cattle in North Caro lina? A. Conditions make North Caro lina an ideal state for growing beef cattle. The mild climate and heavy rainfall gives good grazing and economical feed production. Very little housing is required. Land and labor are available, and farmers are increasing their knowledge of livestock production. Markets for beef cattle are being improved. Q. How can I get an even stand of grass on my lawn? A. Divide the seed equally and sow two ways at right angles to each other to be assured of uni form distribution. Thoroughly har row or rake the seeds into the soil about one-eighth to one-fourth inch deep. Make sure they are covered uniformly. If planted too deep, the germination will be poor and the stand unsatisfactory. If a roller is available, roll the soil after seeding. A mulch of straw left on the soil will be helpful. Q. What must dairy cows be fed in the winter? A. Successful winter feeding means imitating early summer conditions as near as possible. The dairy cow is by nature a roughage consuming animal. She does her best when supplied with plenty of roughage. In winter this roughage should be a legume hay and a succulent feed. The better the quality, the more of the re quired nutrients will t>e received from the roughage and the smaller the amount of grain that will be needed. More chickens, eggs, and turkeys will be marketed this summer than in the summer of 1955, re ports the USDA. PLUMBING And HEATING For A-l Work at Reasonable Rates CALL W. G.
