Sanitation Aids In
Control of Flies
Around Livestock
Declare War on the Fly at
Place of Reproduction
Ruffner Advises
"Declare war on flies if you "want
to get the best results from your lire
stock this summer," says Professor
R. H. Ruffner, head of the animal
husbandry department at State Col
ic ?e.
Flies reproduce at an almost in
credible rate, he said, and they are
the greatest known spreaders of bac
teria and disease. Also, they are a
serious annoyance to dairy animals.
The first step in protecting cows
from flies is to clean up all places
where the flies breed. Remove the
piles of manure, refuse, and other un
sanitary matter. Keep the stables,
poultry houses and hog pens cl*am
All places where inanure accumu
lates should be cleaned out each week !
and the manure spread on the fields.
On dairy farms, the manure should
be cleaned up and hauled away daily.
It is advisable to spray horse and
mule stables with fly exterimator im
SOY BEANS AND
COWPEAS GOOD
SOIL BUILDERS
Recommended (or Fields
Where Lespedeza Not
Used Last Winter
For small Kr*"i fields where les
pedtza was not sown last winter, soy
beans and cowpeas are recommended
sa good soil building or hay crops t" |
be planted promptly after the gram-,
have been harvested.
Whether they should be grown for j
hay or for soil building depends upon
the requirements of the individual
farmer, says P. H. Kime, plant breed
ing agronomist at State College
mediately after each cleaning.
Keeping the work stock in the pas
ture as much as possible will help
the stock and also reduce the accu
mulation of manure in the stable>
where flies tend to breed.
' Whereever human food supplies,
particularly milk and cream, are kept,
screens should be provided to ke<p
the flies out, Kuffner stated, lie also
recommended screens for every farm
liuvne.
Where a farmer's lis dis fertile.
but his hay supply is limited, hay le
gumes should be grown on at least a
part of the small grain acreage. If the
fields are run down, soil building
should be the main consideration.
Although legumes may be used for
either hay or soil building, they can
not serve both purposes, Kime, added,
since the entire plant should be
plowed under when soil improvement
is the objective.
A great deal of the nitrogen and
other fertilizing elements is contain
ed in that part of the plant which is
above ground, Kime explained.
I For hay, to be planted in June, he
recommends the Laredo, Virginia
Herman and Tokyo varieties of soy
'beans in the order named. For soil
building he favors Mammoth Yellow,
Tokyo, and Biloxi.
Leading' varieties of cowpeas for
either hay or soil improvement are
VVhippoorwill, Groit, Brabham, Iron,
and Clay.
Before planting soybeans or cow
peas, plow or disk the soil thoroughly,
then harrow it, Kime says. The seed
may be drilled in, sown broadcast, or
planted in rows 24 to 36 inches apart.
When grown for hay, legumes
should be fertilized to keep them from
depleting the soil. On average coastal
plain soils, 300 pounds of 2-8-4 to the
acre is recommended. On average
mountain?or?Piedmont boils, 300
pounds of 2-10-4.

AAA BENEFITS IN
STATE TOTALED
$13,042,898 IN 1934
Tobacco Program Brings To
Farmers Nearly Eight
Million Dollars
During the period from July 1, 1934
through May 31, 1935, the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration had
paid to North Carolina farmers in ren
tal and benefit payments the huge
of $13,042,898.44.
These payments consisted of $4,
615,754.76 for the cotton program;
$51,192.12 for the wheat program; $7,
674,014.12 for the tobacco program'
and $701,937.44 for the corn and hog
program. In addition to these pay
ments, the AAA has paid,, during the
same period, the sum of $1,011,607.98
to county and community committee
men and to ^various persons engaged
in compliance work and clerical work
in the crop adjustment program.
Many of the per sup? bcnegiting froin
this latter payment wefe those need
ing work^and were largely from farms
<?f the State.
A study of AAA work in North
Carolina this year also reveals that
farmers are cooperating in the ad
justment program more heartily than
ever before. Few violations of con
tracts have been found by those now
engaged in compliance activity. The
growers have planted the acreage
they agreed to plant and the few in
stances where there has 4>ceu over
planting has been due largely to er
rors in estimating the acreage.
Fxtension workers also report that
farmers are deeply concerned about
the future of the AAA program. The
numerous attacks designed to de
stroy the program by eliminating the
processing taxes are reported to be
I
attracting the attention of the busiest
farmers. Their votes in the recent
referenda show positively that they
want the adjustment programs con
tinued and they are hopeful that the
amendments now before Congress
will make the original Act constitu
tional so that the program will not
be hampered in the future.
Farm and Home Week
Will Not Be Held in 1935
Dean I. O. Schaub announced some
time ago that Farm and Home Week
would not be held this year. It was
first scheduled for the week of July
29 to August 2. Later, when the in
fantile paralysis disease reached epi
demic Stage, the week was postponed
to the last week in August or the
first week in September. But deu to
inability to make plans with any cer
tainty , it was decided to postpone the
gathering until next year and attempt
|to have a better one then.

to be happy, too. Just what will be
come of the little girl is not known,
but for the present she is being well
cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Cowen.
And Elizabeth had friends outside
| the Cowen home, too. She received
gifts and attention from local peo
ple, and they anxiously Inquired
'about her when she was missed from
the crude little pen on the front
I porch of the Cowen home on East
Main Street. Assured she had been
received in a good home, her friends
were pleased, but they were touched
a bit when told how the child clung
to the dreaa of the welfare represen
tative as long as she could before
accepting the companionship of
those in her new home.
The child's mother, Mrs. Maggie
Barber Davenport, was instantly
killed by the woman's husband, who
claimed self-defense, but the evi
dence indicated that he was iealous
and mad at the time. The baby was
in the arms of her mother when the
old man fired the first time, most of
the ihot going Into her lege and k
hand. Elizabeth was dropped to the
ground and Davenport fired a m
ond time, the entire load striking the
woman in the head and causing in
stant death. The killing it rctnet
beied as one of the moat brutal ai
pathetic events ever recorded in this
county.
