Exercise Much Care Id Feeding Salt To Livestock On Farm Grain Mixtures For Cows * Should Contain About One Percent Salt Feeding minerals to livestock, without due consideration of the often does more Animals do need minerals, how ever, said fL H Ruffner, head of the animal husbandry department at State Collet, and one of the moat important is salt He recommended that grain mix tures fed dairy cows should con tain one per cent salt, but no more. Salt blocks or salt in a box should also be kept before the ?"?*"?>* so they can lick up any salt they need in addition to that in their feed. Next in importance are phos phorus and calcium. But if the feed crops are grown on land well fertilized with superphosphate or other phosphorus fertilizer, and, weU supplied with lime, the feed will contain enough of these min erals to supply the animals' nssdr Whan there iimiii to be a need for phosphorus in the ration, it can be supplied in steamed bone meal by adding a pound of meal to every 100 pounds of grain. Calcium may be added to the . ration, at the same rale in the form of ground limestone, ground oyster shells or clam shells, or wood ashes. Wood ashes contain only about two-thirds as much rslrium as ground limestone. Never feed uo s tacked or water-slacked lime Thear are ten to 15 other mineral elements necessary for dairy cows, but most of these are furnished in adequate amounts in the average ?alion made up of feeds grown in North Caronlina, Ruffner pointed out. To attempt to supply minerals other than salt, phosphorus and cal cium is expensive and sometimes dangerous, he warned.

Poultry Feed, Egg Prices Advancing The expected rise in poultry feed prices will increase the necessity for good flock management, according to Roy S Dearstyne, head of the State College poultry department. He urges poultrymen to check oxer tlieii plants to see whether they are overcrowding their laying houses There should be 4 square teet of floor space for each bird. "If you Jiave more birds than ypu ran house adequately," he said, "cull out the inferior ones and sell them at once, as overcrowding will devit alize the chickens, check egg pro duction. and may lead to disease. "Be sure to have enough nests, feeders, and waterers to keep the flock well supplied, as this will help egg production at a high level. "You canrtot-afford to give expen sive feed to birds that are not pay ing their own way. Cull out those which are questionable. "Don't try to save money with cheap substitutes or by cutting down on the amount of the ration. This will cut down egg production and impair the health of the birds. "Remember, egg prices will prob ably go up. and you want to pro duce as many as you can. "It is feed that makes the eggs 666 ehtcki MALARIA In 3 Days COLDS UoM.

COTTON INJURED WHEN GINNED IN DAMP CONDITION Poof Policy To Raise Good Crop, Then Damage It In Gin Process It'i ? poor policy to raise good cotton, then damage it in the gin ning process. Yet that's what thousands of far mers do every fall, said Glenn R. Smith, cotton marketing specialist of the N. C. Agricultural Experi ment Station. It's not the fault nf the ginners he added, but of the farmers' who take their cotton to the gin in a damp condition. When cotton is picked too early, are while wet with dew or rain, it should be dried out before being i placed in storage or taken to the gin. Smith stated. When damp cotton is ginned, the and maintains the body. If you can I not feed them properly, dispose of them at once. You can't make money with a half-fed poultry flock" Dearstyne also urges poultrymen to develop their egg markets, particu larly locdl markets. By grading their eggs carefully, he pointed out, they can build up a reputation and secure premium prices for their best eggs <aw teeth cut and tear the lint, greatly reducing it in quality and grade. It cotton must be picked while green or damp, he continued, it should be spread out in the sun to dry. It the weather should be so cloudy*and damp that this is not possible the cotton should be dried indoors. Smith also warned that long staple cotton should not be ted to the gins at too fast a rate. If neces sary, the feeder drive should be slowed doWn. Both the air blast and the brush gins do better work when the cot ton is fed slow enough tor the seed roll to be lose. Setting the seed boards wide open also helps, as this permits a rapid discharge of seed ?nd thn? tend^ to keep the seed roll loose. North Carolina cotton mills con sume about twice as much lint as is produced in the State, he added. This gives the farmers a good po tential market at home, but to sell in it they must produce good uni form staple. Tells What Keeps Rain From Falling The heavenly set-up this summer has been all wrong for adequate rainfall between the Rocky and Ap palachian Mountains, according to C. L. Mitchell, forecaster tor the Washington. D. C. district of the Weather Bureau. From the tint of June till the latter part at July the air streams that make weather per sistently followed abnormal paths. Unchecked by polar air, a great current of tropical air went round and round 1 na vast irregular circle ?up the western part of the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains and plateau regions across southern" Canada, down the eastern part of the central valley region, and back acroes the continent. There was no lack of moisture a loft, Mr. Mitchell says, but the ma chinery for squealing it out was lacking. Nature produces rain by bringing together two air mapsee?a cold mass and a warm, moist mass. When the two opposing masses meet the warm air is forced up over the cold, denser air. The warm air is soon cooled to a point at which it can no longer hold its moisture. To keep the United States cool and moist, cold air masses ("highs") must either come down from Can sds or they must come in from the north Pacific Ocean. This year the 'highs" have been in the south and the "lows" in the north?a situation that makes normal summer weather impossible. Mr Mitchell sscribe* the summer's unusually high temperatures, in a large measure at least, to the fail ure of "highs" from the north Ps ciflc to move often enough inland over Washington snd Oregon and thence eastward over Montana. Wy oming, and the Dakotas. These pol ar air masses from the Pacific ef fectually interrupt the northward movement of tropical air over the western half of the United States, and, if they occur at least every six days, prevent the development 01 a heat wave over northern areas west Preparing Tobacco Fields for Clover All (talks should be cut and the land or ridges levelled with a disc ing crimson clover on a tobacco Held. Be sure that the soil is inocu lated. bacteria should be supplied before the crop is seeded. This may be done by muting the seed with from two to three hundred pounds of soil from a Held known to be inoculated or by the use of a good commercial culture. If the commercial culture is used follow the directions carefully Where soil from another field Is used the seed should be sown with a grain drill.
