Arty says that we need about
450.000 tons of extra hay to feed
all animals on North Carolina
farms.
ih explains that more miik
may be obtained through better

feeding practice.-., improved farm
management, more feed crops,
and more cows. Along with lhi:

of it in the daily diet.
At piesint it appears that the
I iggiet problem is that of feed
— principally good, high quality
roughage and grazing crops. With
long growing seasons here in
North Carolina, State College
agronomists say there is no valid
reason for not growing the sup

in well fertilized permanent pas

The protein meal can come from

More Barley Can

One-third el the crop acreage in
North Carolina, or about 2 ! 4
million acre s. is in corn as com
pared with only 32.000 acres iri
barley. State College agronom
ists say that many farmers can
well efford to grow barley as a
“wir.kr 'em crop" because it can
,/e produced with less labor than
corn and because it can be grown
in the winter and not interfere
with many farm jobs in summer.
The most important points in
growing barley, according to the
agronomists, are preparation of a
good seed be I. planting the right
variety, good fertilization at
planting, seeding at the proper
time, and topdressing on time.
Barley should be seeded iri the
Piedmont from October 1 to 213;
in the mountains, from Septem
ber 20 to October 10; and in tin
Coastal Plain, from October 10 to
30. The same seeding dates also
uppily to oats.
Information as to the best va
rieties for the various sections of
Nmth Ceroliii" mav he obtained
I rum the county agents.
Maximum be u fits from top
dressings come when they are ap
plied so as to increase the .-tooling
of small grains, and increase the
number of heads. The number of
seed heads are already determin
ed by the level of nitrogen in Feb
ruary and March, and thus top
hi e sing should he applied rela
tively early.
