Representatives of various agricultural agencies in the State agreed to push a cam paign to this end. E. M. Hansen, of Raleigh, agron omist, recently presented experi ments conducted by him last sum mer which showed that with ni trate of soda selling for $40 per ton, the cost per bushel of increas ed yield was 21 cents—based on 250 pounds to the acre. Hansen said the number of pounds of nitrate of soda required—on the average—to produce an extra bush el of corn was 10.6 pounds. He ex plained that an acre of land which normally produced 23.4 bushels of corn, an application of 250 pounds of nitrate of soda increased the yield to 47 bushels. Rupert C. Barnes, representative of the State War Board, recently in formed the committee that this State’s proportion of 1,000,000 bush els of Canadian oats to Southern states was Monday set at 147,500 bushels, more than any other state m the group. On the advice of the committee, 40 pgr cent of this allot ment will be used in the form of straight oats, the remainder to be used in the manufacture of feed. Despite the labor shortage and other difficulties, indications are that farmers will increase their pro duction of various crops, Coltrane said, in showing that from July last year through May 8, fertilizer tags for 1,308,854 tons of fertilizer were issued, as compared witli 1,231,061 tons for the same period a year ago. -«. - Milk Production Is Higher This Year Milk production per cow is run ning higher than last year and above average. On May 1 the average daily production per cow in herds of North Carolina crop reporters was 12.2 pounds compared with 12.0 pounds on May 1, 1043, and the ten vear May 1 average of 11,5 pounds. Favorable weather and abundance of pasturage were factors contribut ing to the high rate of production. I With New Pet LITTLE Dick Trenkler, 11, Is pictured in New York City as his new pet, a red-headed cocker spaniel, licks his chin. Just the other day, the youngster’s dog “Spotty” was killed by a hit and run driver. After news papers published a dramatic photo showing Dick crying beside the dead animal, hundreds of persons offered the boy a new pet. He final- : ly chose the cocker.
