Farm News Notes
By W. V. HAYS, County Agent
The Peanut Stabalization Corpora
tion, or cooperative, was organized
in an effort to stabilize peanut prices
Whether this will happen remains
to be seen but farmers knowing that
peanuts may be put into oil at 3 1-4
cents per pound should be induced
to hold their peanuts or at least
market them in an orderly manner.
Sufficient warehousing is available
to accomodate what peanuts will be
diverted from Washington County.
Where possible the ram should be
separated from the flock of ewes at
this time and if possible kept sepa
rate through the winter. This will
prevent late summer lambs. Some
of the ewes may not be bred but it
will be better to breed these in July
or August or September next year
and get a good lamb rather than
have them bred now and give you
a ragged summer lamb. A hand
ful of grain fed per ewe will pay
handsomely through the winter.
While in some countries sheep are
not housed at all we find here a
dry shelter through the winter is a
good investment with our sheep.
After the crops are in, a few days
spent in collecting leaves and woods
mold to be made into compost pays
well. Some of our crops respond bet
ter to compost and manure than to
commercial fertilizers, especially our
poor sandy soils. Experiments and
records show that compost and man
ure spread on winter cover crops gives
better results the following year than
when this manure is applied direct
ly to the row crops.
A number of requests have come in
for a good white wash formula that
will stick to fences and buildings.
The following is the best formula on
record:
Light House White Wash
Slake half bushel of unslaked lime
with boiling water, keeping it covered
during the process. Strain it and add
a peck of salt dissolved in warm
water; 3 pounds of ground rice put
in boiling water and boiled to a thin
paste: half pound of powdered Span
ish whiting and a pound of clear
glue disolved in warm water; mix
these well together and let the mix
ture stand for several days. Keep
the wash thus prepared in a kettle
or portable furnace, and when used
put it on as hot as possible with
painter’s or whitewash brushes.
Tlie cooperative hog sales were the
largest for October up to date. 654
hogs sold for $13,039.68. Hogs are
cheaper than they have been ear
lier in the year but according to the
yearly price trend hogs are now
about lc higher than average prices
for this time of the year. I would
caution those growers who have hogs
weighing one hundred pounds not to
put these hogs on soy beans or pea
nuts, if these hogs are intended for
marketing, leaving the sows and
smalled pigs to glean in the fields.
Having hogs ready for sale at the
right time is as big a factor as any
one other in profitable swine hus
bandry. We should attempt as far as
possible to have our hogs ready for
sale in August and September or
March and April. This can be con
trolled by breeding the sows at the
proper time. To do this they will
be six months old or ready to sell at
the specified time when properly fed.
A good many of our farmers now
have hogs weighing about 100 pounds
which they intend to market as soon
as they reach 200 pounds. It is sug
gested that these hogs, where there
is plenty of corn on hand, be fed
on corn and fish meal and not per
mitted to run on the bean and pea
nut fields. In this way hard hogs
can be sold. Where a hog is fed soy
beans and peanuts after it reaches
the weight of 100 pounds it is very
hard and almost impossible to make
a hard carcass from this animal when
butchered. Where some of the hogs
are to be kept for home use and oth
ers for market we suggest that the
hogs for market be fed on corn and
the hogs to be kept for home use
with the sows and smaller shoats be
used to glean the fields. When hogs
intended for market reach the weight
of 100 pounds they should be re
moved from peanuts and soy beans
and put on corn and fishmeal, with
sufficient minerals and an ample sup
ply of clean drinking water.
Mrs. Ethel Tarkenton was hostess to

ent phases of club work were dis
cussed. The club will meet in Novem
ber with Mrs. Harold Patrick, yard
leader of the club.
