dairy cows respond
TO SUMMER CARE
Pace Thsee
cows,” says John Arey, ex
tension dairy specialist for State
College, “suffer from heat just about
as much as people and they need
shade during the hot part of the day.
If the dairy is located near the city
where there is not much natural shade,
the cows ought to be stab led during
the heat of the day.”
Mr. Arey states also that to get
the best returns from the cows during
this season, flies should be kept from
them. This means that the barn
should be screened and a fly repellant
used.
The first step, though, in getting rid
of flies is to clean up about the place.
All stables and manure pits need to
be cleaned at least once each week
and if prectical, it is best to haul the
manure from the barn directly to the
field. Litter and garbage should also
be hauled away. Sometimes when it
is impossible to get rid of the flies,
poisons, traps and sprays could well
be used to combat them. Mr. Arey
states also that the continued drouth
has reduced the spring hay crop and
many dairymen will face high prices
and a shortage of hay for their cattle
this winter unless some feed be grown
to offset this. High prices for hay and
feedstuffs reduce the profits from
dairying and the wise dairymen, he
states, will plant some quick growing
crops such as Sudan Grass or amber
sorghum to provide additional feed.
Those who have silos, are urged to
fill them full this summer because by
feeding extra amounts of silage, the
amount of hay needed may be re
duced.
“The future for dairying in North
Carolina,” says Mr. Arey, “looks
bright for the man who giows his
feed at home. Pastures and cover
crops should be considered this fall
to help out in this plan.
winter. The reason why more are
not planted is probably due to lack
of funds to buy seed in late summer
and because few people really know
the value of a winter crop. Dr.
Winters states that it is vastly better
to plant a few less acres of tobacco,
cotton and peanuts and put more land
to cover crops, thus improving its
productive capacity.
SMOKELESS NATION FORECAST
It is predicted that America will be
the first nation to outlaw smoke,
soot and ashes by using gas fuel in
stead of solid fuel for heating pro
cesses in shops and factories. It will
be first to have its homes Heated by
gas, thermostatically controlled.
The increasing use of gas is an ine
vitable result pf modern demans for
comfort and efficiency, to which must
be added the growing conviction that
human life and property are suffering
incalculable damage from the smoke
evil.
The progress of fuel conservation
depends upon the progress of gas uti
lization. The public is begbming to
see this truth and act accordingly. The
gas industry has grown because it
has saved coal, labor, and money for
the public.

COVER CROPS PAY
SAYS MR. WINTERS
Commercial fertilizer will not al
ways supply all the elements of fer
tility needed to produce good yields
of the commonly accepted money
crops in North Carolina. The ex
cessively wet weather of last season
proved this, finds Director R. Y.
Winters of the North Carolina Ex
periment Station.
“Fields of cotton that had been
given sufficient fertilizer to produce
a bale of cotton per acre failed to
return sufficient lint to pay for the
labor and fertilizer,” says Dr. Winters.
“The early shedding of squares was
very heavy. Land in the same areas
that had been cropped in winter cover
crops produced better crops and ex
perienced less shedding of squares.
It is a matter of general observation
throughout the South that turning
under cover crops has helped to com
bat the boll weevil, because this tends
to reduce the natural shedding of
squares in unfavorable weather.
Organic matter in the soil holds
moisture during dry years, keeps a
supply of air for the plant roots wet
weather and helps to make better
crops in normal years.”
In spite of this. Dr. W’’inters finds
that cover crops are not very popular
in North Carolina. If they were, he
states, at least one fifth of all the
cultivated land would he green in

Road shocks are absorbed by the steering mechanism.

A remarkable efficient transmission enables the Star

The Star is easily handled both in congested traffic and

What it Neans
to You
In three years of cooperative marketing in Virginia,
North and South Carolina the average price of tobacco,
exclusive of war prices, has been twelve cents higher
than the average for twenty-four years prior to the or
ganization of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Asso
ciation.
The opponents of cooperative marketing will say
that the average price of other farm products has shown
an increase in the past three years also. That is true.
They will not tell you, however, that the PURCHAS
ING POWER of the tobacco increase has, during these
three years, been greater than the purchasing power of
any other farm dollar. Why will they not tell you this
also?
When the opposition propagandist tells you cooper
ative marketing of tobacco won’t do, ask him to suggest
a substitute for it. If he’s sincere, he ought to be able to
offer a better plan. But if it isn’t going to be cooperative
marketing, orderly marketing,
