PAGE SIX THE PILOT. Southern Pmes. North Carrfina_ FRIDAY. JULY 30. 1954 The 'Challenge* Program for Farmers Crop Yields Often Too Low For Economical Production Of Feed Produce More Feed At Home, Booklet Says Producing more feed at home is one of the subjects covered in a booklet, “Planning for Progress in Moore County Through A United Agricultural Program,” that is being distributed to farm families. Prepared by the Moore County farm agencies that are coopera ting in the state-wide “North Carolina Meets the Challenge” program, the booklet is part of united effort of farm people and professional agricultural agency workers to raise the standard of rural living in this county. In last week’s Pilot, highlights of the booklet, dealing with in creasing cash crop yields and ways to achieve a better balance in farm operations, were reported. This week. The Pilot continues its report from) the booklet, giv ing its recommendations for pro ducing more feed at home: Producing More Feed The average farmer in Moore County is buying approximately $522 worth of feed each year. If livestock and poultry are to be produced more econmically, a large part f the feed now being bought should be produced .at home. Farmers in the county can produce all the feed necessary except protein supplement. They can also produce grain for poul try. At the present time yields on feed crops on many farms are too low for economical production However, it has been demonstra ted on many farms that crops can be produced economically if rec ommended practices are carried out in connection with produc tion, harvesting, and storage of these crops. Soil samples sholud be taken and crops limed, fertil ized, and topdress^ according to recommendations. Adequate in sect and rodent-proof storage should be provided for corn and small grain. -.'.iJjd Corn Corn is the most widely used feed crop on the farm. The ave rage farmer could easily double or triple his yield per acre sim ply by following these recommen dations which have been proved not only by experiment stations but on many farms in Moore County. GUARANTEED TERMITE CONTROL FREE INSPECTIONS DIAL 3-9626 FRYE Exterminating Co. 210 Circle Ave. Sanford. N. C. 1. The corn root must go after food and water; therefore, the soil must be loose enough to al low the roots to grow freely. A good seed bed will save cultiva- tin later. 2. Have soils tested and fertil ize according to recommenda tions. . •3. Select an adapted, certified hybrid. 4. Never plant seed saved from hybrid corn because sybrids are developed by crossing pure vari eties and hybrid seed will not breed true. 5. Spacing in the row is deter mined by the fertility of the soil and the yield desired. Closer spacings naturally require much higher applications of fertilizer. Cultivate early to control weeds. Avoid deep cultivation as it destroys a portion of the root system. 7. Topdress according to soil conditions at the rate of two pounds of nitrogen for each bush el of corn increase desired over the normal yield. Pasture Improved pasture is the most nutritious and economical live stock feed. Ample improved pas ture is an absolute necessity for success in producing beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, hogs and, poultry. Great progress has been made in the past few years, but we have less than one-half of the improved pasture we need for a well balanced farming program. Pasture not only controls erosion but also yields a greater return per man-hour spent in maintain ing it. The following steps will mean more pasture profits for you: 1. Have soils tested for lime and fertilizer requirements and apply lime well in advance of seeding. Prepare a firm, well-pulverized seed bed and use a cultipacker to insure a good stand. 3. Seed a pasture ’mixture which is best adapted to your type of soil. 4. A new pasture should have six inches O’f growth before being grazed and should never be graz ed lower, than three inches. 5. Topdress annually, prefer ably in early spring. 6. Rotate grazing on pastures to avoid overgrazing and also prevent infestation of the soil with internal parasites. 7. Clip pastures whenever nec essary to control weeds. Hay Hay is a feed which can and should be grown bn every farm producing any type of livestock. Good quality hay is essential in any livestock program and can be produced by following a few Body Of Countess Of Garrick Will Go To Ireland of 1. Test the soil and lime and fertilize according to instructions on soib test reports. 2. Prepare a good seed bed. 3. Use a certified, adapted va riety. Innoculate alfalfa and clovers with the proper innocu- lant. 4. Alfalfa and clovers should be seeded in September. 5. Lespedeza is seeded in Feb ruary whilee peas and beans should be seeded in June. 6. Alfalfa and clover should be mowed during the early bloom stage. Small Grain Small grain can be substituted for corn in livestock rations and since it can be more economically produced, we should increase our small grain acreage. Oats, wheat, and barley can be harvested early enough to allow a second crop to be grown on the same piece of land in one year. Early top dressing is the key to higher yields in small grain production. Oats used in rotation with to bacco and other crops help re duce root knot damage. Milo is a grain which can be combined, is resistant to drought, and is equal to corn in yield and feed value. Milo should be seeded during May and June. Small grain yields can be in creased bjl following these rec ommendations: 1. Seed early in a firm seedbed. 2. Small grain requires less fertilizer when it follows a heav ily fertilized crop such as tobac co. 3. Topdress between February 15-March 15 with 200 pounds of nitrate of soda or its equivalent. 4. Provide rat-proof bins for grain storage.
