For it is at tliem that we get ideas that in numerious cases gives us the incentive to do just that little difference that lies between profit and loss. We all work hard enough, but whether we work as wisely as we could is another wucs question. Meth ods change so fast, owing to new facts being brought to light that try as we may it is hanj to keep abreast of the times and do all the work that we have to do. Nature made the grass. Left it here for a time and we failed to use it. Now nature is taking it back again and we are just that much worse off. Cover Crops Now is the time of the year when all good farmers look , about for a winter coat for their land. There is only one and that is what we call cover crops. Cover crops are inexpensive to get in. It is seldom necessary or de sirable to plotir. A cultivator run thru the corn and a disc harrow in the open land is all that is necessary! The best crop that we can grow are rye and barley. Rye is more hearty but barley is the better feed and makes the better hay in the early spring. ' Apart from the grain or hay that may be gotten from the crop if it is left tos stand for full growth, there is fifteen dollars worth of grazing to be had thru the winter, when green feed is so badly needed. This amount of grazing is depend ent on getting the seed in the ground early enough. The roots must have time to grow before cold weather. ... Fifteen dollars clear money this winter on every farm in this county would ease the tax situation for a lot of folks verv materially. There is. just one thing to do and that is to do it now. In looking over the Farm Page of The Press for this week one year ago we find, the following: All that is required is the will to do. Then the bogy hard times will disappear from the land like a magic wand had been waved over it. ' "Things- will not get done them selves. Thev never have and they never will. They will have to' be done by human hands." This still holds good. Cattle and Pastures When if ever are we going to have the eighty per cent of Macon county, that is by nature fitted only for pastures, laid down ti improved past ures,? . And when, if ever, are we going to get this land stocked up with suitable livestock so that the back breaking will be taken out of harvesting? In the" flat country of the West the people have taken the drudgery out cf farming by the use of machinery. Here, to do the same thing we must have fencing around good past ures. ' Machinery has to be handled. With pastures, the livestock do their own. Was down thru a certain part of this county the other day and counted on the round trip 47 dogs and did not see a single shehep. We like dogs and know that search as we will that we cannot find a better friend to us, but we also like mutton and we like the easy money that mutton brings. Has anyone ever stopped to figure on how many tons of grass that is going to waste on the average farm this fall for lack of livestock? . This page will be dedicated to the fanning interests of Macon county. It is open to the county agent, to those engaged in farming and to all others interested in farming. .,.,., Your communications are welcome. Of course, should it be found that there is not enough interest taken in the page to justify it, it will be discontinued. The editor will write all that he can and all that he knows about, but he has other things to do as well. , Yoa know, just the little things like keeping up with advertising, get ting news, collecting accounts,' solocit ing subscriptions, mailing out the pa per, telling salesmen that we are ' not buying today, dodging our creditors, getting home to meals on time, stay ing out of politics and a hundred and one other things. After we get all this done and the farm page written we can set back and look things over. And visit around the farms a little ad see what is going on. So, in the meantime, lets have any thing that vou want to say regarding farming. Talk wont plough the corn, but it will go a long way toward MUNDAY HOTEL Centrally Located Popular Rates Open Year Round Franklin, N. C. Macon's Friendly Store J. R. PENDERGRASS . FRANKLIN, N. C.
