THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, i::J "CIVILIZATION. BEGINS AND ENDS WITH THE PLOW" v i THINGS TO PLAN TO THROUGHOUT COMING YEAR The Farmers Day at the test farm at Swannanoa on May 17, 1S28. . Poultry loading depot with facili ties for grading eggs. An annual poultry show. -'. Monthly livestock sales. , Fanners' own line of delivery trucks. Purebred sires and seeds. Guernsey cattle association. A semi-annual seed exchange day. A Harvest Carnival one day of the bread and butter show. Macon Farm Happenings Where is the man that said -that the . people of this good county of Macon would not pick blackberries? The fact of the matter is that the cannery has had to stop buying ber ries so as to be able to take care of the farm produce that has been con tracted for by several growers. ', Just by way of remarking, its my guess that there will not be so much hesitancy about signing a contract with the cannery next year for it is easily seen now that the man with a contract is the .man that is safe; for the cannery is simply swamped with stuff and more and more keeps com ing in. It seems like now there is only one thing to do and that is. to take the stuff that is contracted for and let the rest go. This seems hard but then you know a new concern must crawl before it can walk. Of course next year . there will be a better chance of taking care of the stuff .,- just simply by having, contracts and ' then 'sticking to them first and going after the other ( afterwards. The U. S. food inspector has been tn nut-- rannrrv- and "has wonouneed ,:;,'CVythjiig.satisfactofy.; . There,, has "VlSItr?nC""pia7n auti tllCy-ifdrrc""; kind enough to pronounce everything . .up to and beyond standard. So .three cheers for our Mr. Case. He - is the right man in the right place. -.'. DAIRYING Some time back we sent out word that there was a buyer for a car of - grade Guernsey hicfers. We felt the - proposition out and found that there is, not a car load of heifers available. 'There were twenty-two listed. As there is not a car load, the best thing t for those having surplus stock to sell ' is to communicate with Mr. W. W. Fitzpatrick, Guernsey Cattle Club, ' ,Clemson College, S. C. ' It is a mighty good time now to j think about some winter grazing. for the cows. To have plenty of, this . will mean tint the butter fat will come cheaper hence more profit. It , ' also means. t!.::t the soil will not take 'a trip ".fever to return down to the Tennessee Ki.er. The following is the average amount of icci required for a dairy cow for a y.'v; 15 busjids of orn ' 10 bushels of.- o.ts . ... 3 tons lcgi-iiK hay 500 lbs cotton sml meal and 200 lbs v. heat bran. i. The above, with -plenty .of good pas tur'e two acres during the grazing - season will make up a well balanced ' feed for the av eragc. cow for the year ., ' If is. my guess that not one cow in three in .Macon', gets the above. What's yours? , They tell me that Haywood men have been in this -County on several occasions recently buying calves. That -is how Haywood is getting rich tak- - ing our young stuff and feeding it out and cashing in on the increase. Good luck to them as long as our people are willing to do it. . HOGS Let every one remember that there "will be hog sales just as often and when hogs are ready to ship. We have got to get a better place to handle the hogs somehow. Just how this will be done the gods only . know. But be done it must. ' DAIRY SHOW There are several that arc planning to go to the National Df 'ry Show at Memphis in October. The date is from the 13th to the 20th. We plan to visit several places of his torical and instructional interest both -going and coming. If there are any others that plan to go we would be very glad to have their names, so that we could make the necessary arrangements. The plan is to go with the two counties in Georgia. By dooing this it will come a whole lot cheaper. Last year the CONSULT YOUR KEEP YOUR FARM AND IT WILL KEEP YOU AND YOURS actual out of pocket expenses for the trip was $17.00 a head. This year we plan to take a cook truck and send it on a head to a certain place, then the party will visit farms and places of interest through the day and sleep at the cook truck at night. Wc will go via Birmingham and return via Chatanooga. It will be worth any man's time to see a mil lion dollars worth of the best dairy cattle in the country. For they will all be there. . Let's go. , ' ', BREAD AND BUTTER SHOW This will be about the same as last year only more of it. The 4-H clubs will all have a chance to compete for various prizes. To get funds there will have to be a small admission fee charged. This is only fair any way. I have Mr. Henry Cabe at the Bank of Franklin to act as accountant. This will mean that every cent will- be spent to the best advantage. LYLES HARRIS, County Farm Agt. IMPROVED HAYING MACHINES CUTS COSTS AND EASES WORK Hay production in the eastern states is not managed so efficiently and economically, in many cases, as far ther west, according to R. S. Wash burn, of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, , United States Depart ment of' Agriculture. ; . A; study of haymaking on representative farms in Pennsylvania indicated that some farmers harvest and ,'storc an aero of hay with four hours cf labor, whereas on other farms more than eight hours of labor is required. One element many farmers have overlook ed is that the easier way is also the cheaper way. The use of the side-delivery rake and the hayloader may be expected to effect a saving of approximately one and one-half hours per acre of man labor and one-half hour per acre loading from the windrow. With wages at 40 cents an hour, says Mr. Washburn, this represents a ' saving of 60 cents per acre in man labor alone which, with 30 acres of hay amounts to $18, or more than enough to pay the interest and depreciation on the necessary' investment in a side-delivery rake ,a,nd hay loader. Unloading hay by hand is tedious and expensive. .Economy is to be expected from the use of the double harpoon, grapple fork, or slings in unloading. A mower of 5-foct rut is most commonly used in the east. The 6 and 7 foot mowers used Widely in the West allow for cutting an additional 2 acres in 10 hours for each added foot of width. On farms which grow 40 acres or more of hay the 12 or 14 foot rake should be used, says Mr. Washburn, in prefer ence to smal one-horse rake. With the wider rake 50 per cent more ground can be covered in a day and the work is done more easily. DON'T BURN LESPEDEZA STRAW Lespedeza is winning its way north, south, east and west as-it will grow vigorously where other ' and more aristocratic legumes refuse to even live. Knowing the keen interest of the farmers in this county in ' Jap clover, as it is commonly called, the county agent ait out of the Southern Agriculturist the following short ar ticle: . Every day the farmer is learning something new and something good about lespedeza. He has known for some time that it makes an ideal late pasture for livestock; but the chances are ten to one that he has not had the faintest idea , of the value of the covering of straw left over the win- ter. The Experiment Station of the University of Kentucky ' has this to say . of the brown lespedeza straw which covers the land each spring: "It contains 1.6 per cent nitrogen or 32 pounds per ton. This is. prac tically as much nitrogen as is found in three tons of average manure, one ton of 2-3-2 fertilizer or 200 pounds of nitrate of soda."
