Feed Situation In State
Considered Very Bright
R. H. Ruffner, head of the State
College Animal lnduftry Depart
ment, says ttie excellent crop of com
silage recently harvested in most
sections of the State will go a long
way toward decreasing feed bills
this winter. Indications are that more
com silage was put up this year than
ever before. Then, too, many silos
have been filled with soybeans, les
pedeza and grass. Farmers looking
for com might investigate the tre
mendous supply now on sale in east
ern North Carolina, that section pro
ducing one of its heaviest crops.

ble the facilities it has had in serv
ing its customers in the old quar
ters, and the employees will have
ample room for handling their work,
aiding their efficiency.
The modernized building has an
impressive appearance both on the
inside and outside. Special name
plates have been carefully fitted in
to the stone front on each side of the
entrance, and a night depository has
been provided, giving the bank the
latest in equipment for serving its
patrons.
While work in the main banking
room and on the first floor has been
completed, the modernization pro
gram is being extended to other parts
of the building New heating ar
rangements are being effected, and
other details are being handled to
equip the bank for offering every
modern service. The board of di
rectors, made up of well-known citi
zens in the community, will be lo
cated in renovated quarters.
The Crawford Insurance Agency
will continue in its present location
on the second floor, and the third
story offices will be occupied right

SCS Offers Cash
For Kudzu Seed
The SCS is sending out an SOS to
North Carolina fanners.
Earl Meacham, Extension soil con
servationist of N. C. State College,
says the Soil Conservation Service is
making an urgent plea for North
Carolina farmers to harvest every
ounce of kudzu seed that can be lo
crod this fall
The SCS has announced that it j
will pay market price for all the seed
it can get. At the present time, this
runs about one dollar a pound for
cleaned seed, and 25 cents a pound
for seed in the pod. Approximately
five pounds of dried pods are re-1
quired to make one pound of clean
ed seed.
Until this year, the United States
had depended on Japan, the home of
kudzu for its seed supply. Now it
appears that little if any will be im
ported from that country this year,
which means that American agricul
ture again will have to fall back on
its own resources.
Farmers and others knowing of a
promising site where the kudzu is
more than three or four years old
are urged to inspect it carefully,
Meacfuim said. If it has a good crop
of seed pods, the work unit techni
cian of the Soil Conservation Serv
ice in that district may be notified.
Or the finder may write directly to
the service in Spartanburg, S. C.
The most promising places for lo
cating a good seed crop, Meacham
explained, seem to be large gullies
covered with kudzu, or fence rows,
vacant lots, porches and old home
sites. Kudzu usually produces more
seed when it climbs over bushes,
trees, fences, or trellises. Pods should
not be picked until frost.
