There is virtually no market for un cured other than local, and prices here have averaged around 75 cents per bushel for the uncured vams While potato curing is no* new thing to many of our farmers, the under taking on a large scale is a break from the old system, where potatoes were stored in a small room and cured with a small wood stc\ve 11.

BALANCED DIET FOR POULTRY - # Research Men in Purina Mills Make Report on Findings + "Not corn alone —not wheat, oats, buttermilk, and meal thrown to gether—not too much emphasis on vitamins—but balance, the proper pro portion of ingredients to get re sults, that's t"day'« message to poul trvmen who buy feed," say the re search men in Purina Mills' laborar tories whose life work it is to find out just what things chicks need and just how nihuch of each they must have to live and grow. - "'We've heard so much talk about 1 vitamins," they say, "that some of us begin t.o think that vitamins are the oply thfng- necessary in a feed. They ar)T important, mighty im- 1 portant, but arc only a part of the ! the things needed. Chicks also need' carbohydrates, protiens, lats, fiber, and minerals. "A chick can cat only a tiny bit of i feed each day—just thimbleful —and that bit must do the job of building bones, muscles, and tissues —make: pullets out of chicks And since baby (Kicks' ran st?>rc tpnd tor so few hours,) it's important that they get every day - all the things needed lor life and | growth." So in making a bnby chick feed these; men i determined first what chicks needed, then searched for grains,, minerals, oils, ami .other ingredients to meet these needs.

Tlieil.- to verify iii-a j'ravtical way the work done in the laboratories arid on tin experimental farm, records were kept list year on 1,834",513 baby chicks ill oyer the t'nited States. Ninety-two out of every 1(M) lived, and they weigh ed 17 ounces at six weeks, a quarter of a pound more than the average chick weighs. What did this mean? To the farmers keeping the records it infant 458,628 more pounds of broiler meat in six weeks. Valued at 30c a pound, it meant an extra income of $137,588 40. To the research men who had spent years in searching lor ingredients, testing them, weighing them, experimentally feeding combinations of them, and calculat ing their results fractions of a pound, it meant another victory—an achievement which would give batiy ili i> k-. the right to live -and'give fo poultrymen full returns for the money invested in those chicks. ■ »«i Huge crocodiles, some of which can easily kill a hull or a horse, have been devouring so much livestock in the northern part of Australia that - ranch ers have declared a war of extermina tion uppn the blood-thirsty reptiles. more than 380,(HX1 farmers in 21 States receiving these loans.

PUILKHID KVOtV TUESDAY AMO PNIDAY SAYS LESPEDEZA AID TO DAIRYING Korean Variety Is Success fully Grown on 21 Types of Soil r ♦ -* .—L Tlic growing of Koreanl espedcza j should be an aid to dairying in Pied- • mont and Western North Carolina, I since it grows successfully on most 1 j of the soils of that area. F.i'R. Farnham, dairy extension spec ialist of State College, recently made an inspection of the Korean lespedcza j fieldi in Cabarrus County for the pur pose of studying the crop as an aid ito dairying. A number of visits was; i made to different farms in all sections j> of tli* county, and the Korean variety was found on about 21 different types i of soil. | "I have been under a mistaken im pression about the acreage and possi bilities of Korean lespedeza in Cabarrus j County," he said. "It appears that the crop is being grown successfully by a large number of men on differ-1 ent soil types and not solely by a few " . selected demonstrator*. This crop, should have great possibilities on the' ■small grain fields of Western Caro lina. In the past, these land-owners have allowed their small grain fields:' j to grow up ill weeds after the grain j was harvested. By planting Korean j lespedeza on the small grain in late j winter or early spring, a crop of legume | hay may be harvested from the game ; ' land in the fall." Kny l). Goodman, county agent of j Cabarrus County, is enthusiastic a- j bout Korean lespedeza and has bei'n i the cause of his county becoming th • j | center of production in this State. ( a-' barms'* farmers, however, have not t , yet developed the industry to the point where they have any great surplus of s;ed. Mr. Goodman says farmers will j increase their acreage as they become better informed about the variety and are able to get h»'t seed at fair prices. ! A number of farm tours to study | I the Korean fields in Cabarrus County ' are planned for July and August. WAKE TENTATIVE BUDGET HIGHER I « New Budget Calls for Three Cents Increase Despite Various Savings Quite an upset followed the an nouncement of Wake -comity tentative budget for the next year, according to jail article appearing in the News and ■ Uhser?CT~Tuesday. The budget, one o: j 1 IK- first submitted by any county ill j 'the State, calls for an even higher rat - i j despite the road and school savings, j And the same situation can be exiiect-! I • I ed in many other counties. The article appears, in part: | "Auditor Henry (i. Holding yester j literally took the breath of thf ; Wake County Commissioners when lie lajid before Jjiem a tentative budget! j for the fiscal year l')3I-'32, calling f >r a county-wide tax rate of $1.14 as a-j gainst the present rate of sl.ll. Calculations of the Tax Connnis- I sion show Wake county will receive a net tax reduction in rate of 45 cental on account of school and road legi-la- j tion. It had been generally conced-' ed that the full extent iif this reduc tion would not lie realized, but the i cuiuinissioUfic&t were, .and. still, arc con i fident of a substantial iucrease, the tentative budget to the contrary, not- I, withstanding. ~~ H Several departures from the bud , gets of the past mark the new budget, ' one being 25 per cent has added each I appropriation or failure of the scherill |to collect, this deduction amounting to 2(1 per cent of each levy, litreto i fore 111 per cent has usually been car ried for the purpose in the tentative | budget and nothing at all in the final | budget. | A change in this item also one would 'materially reduce the final tax rate, j but other substantial changes will he also made. THE ENTERPRISE EXPECT LARGER CROP OF PIGS IN STATE THIS YEAR Spring "Crop" Same as Last Year; Expect More Next Fall According to figures recently releas ed by the United States and North Carolina Departments of Agriculture, the 1931 spring pig "crop" shows the same nutjiber of pigs saved a# a year ago. The number of sows bred for fall farrowing show 30 per cent in crease, indicating a material increase in the number of pigs to be saved from this "second crop." The number of pigs saved from the 1931 spring pig "crop" in North Car olina showed very little change from a year ago, according to the June Ist pig survey released June 25th, by th 1 : Department of Agriculture. The June report showed an increase of 1.6 per rent in the number of sows that far rowed compared with last spring and also an increase of 30.7 per cent in the number of sows bred for fall farrow ing. The percentage of gilts farrowing compared with all sows farrowed was 41.4 per cent in 1931, compared with 35.3 in 1930. The average number of pigs saved per litter was 6, or prac tically the same as for the preceding spring. Last January, the total swine on farms numbered approximately 827,- 000, this being about 3 per cent more than the year previous. The value of these aytraged $1.50 less per head than in The total number in the United States on January Ist showed a decline of about I per cent' below January Ist, 1930. The decline, both in numbers and stocks, is expected to result in an improvement in the ho# situation this fall. According to the 1930 county farm census reports, the number of sows on farms in North Carolina was 7.4 per cent more in 1931 than in 1930. Last year was 12.3 per cent less than in 1929. The number of hogs sold or slaughtered in the State in 1930 was 6.8 per cent less than in 1929.

It may be harvested and sold to advantage by selecting the mature trees and saving the others for beau* tifying the landscape. "The dogwood tree has many and varied uses," says R. W. Graeber, ex tension forester at State College. "The textile industry is dependent upon it for shuttles and there are a number of small lumber plants in Piedmont and Western North Carolina which fur nish a market for this farm timber crop. Some of these are permanent and others are moved from place to place where material is available. High . Point is one center of the industry, but plants at Statesville, Wilkesboro, and llurphy have handled large quan tities. The plant at Statesville has paid about SIOO,OOO to farmers in that section for dogwood timber in the last six years. Around Wilkesboro about i one-half this amount has been paid Friday, July 24, for the timber Jn the same period." Mr. Graeber says dogwood it tned for tool handle* of *H kinds, spool heads, dowel pins, sad other wood manufacturing items. The tree grows on 87 different soil types in the Stats, and on the stronger soils gmrs Is commercial size. Only those trees which have reached a size of 5 inches or more are suitable for the market. The younger, smaller trees should be left to furnish the riot of color so desired by lovers of nature. Dogwood timber has commanded a price of from sl6 to $22 a cord, de pending on the quality, quantity, lo cation and market demand, Graeber says. Good length between knots and a finely checked bark indicate good quality.
