HERE ARE TIPS FOR HANDLING CATTLE | Noting that several' thousand baby beef calves are now being fed out for spring and fall fat stock shows by farm lads in every sec tion of the state, H. Bruce Butler, assistant Wake County farm agent, says that "by this time all calves should be on full feed," using one of the home-mixed feeds such as the following: Eight pounds of cracked corn, i two pounds cracked oats and one pound of cotton seed meal. The above ration mixture is preferred, Butle. reports, addifig I 'ui?t* the loHowintf rnay be used if oats are not available: Ten pounds of corn and cob meal with one pound of cotton seed meal. ! Butler explained that "full'' feed means keeping feed before j the calf in a trough about 14 in ! ches~ above the ground with a box I containing loose table salt along ' side. i The calf should be taught to | walk slowly beside its handler, Butler continued, indicating that a rope halter handled from the ! calf's left side is a helpful teach ing instrument. The young animal should be ex ercised and trained out of doors as the weather permits, the as sistant agent said, and its coat combed regularly to remove dead hair. The calf should be treated monthly with a sulphurrotenone mixture to control lice and war bles. Neat, accurate records of the animal's growth and progress is a vital part of production, Butler concluded. , Dr. Hunter Presents Badges to Scouts at District Court The Smoky Mountain District, Boy Scout court of honor was held Thursday night, February ? 14 in the community building at Bry son City.

HOME LABOR MUST MEET FARM DEMAND Labor which farmers themselves t tcan supply or draw from adjacent communities must suffice in the j production of North Carolina crops this year it was announced by F. S. Sloan, state program leader of ?the State College Extension Serv i ice, who said that outside help from- migrants, foreign workers and "Bohunks" will be exceeding ly short as compared with the volume available in war years. No prisoners of war, who worked 312,485 man -days in 58 North ! Carolina counties last year, will be available f6r farm labor after June 1, Sloan reported, j Meanwhile, it appeared doubly imperative that state farmers pool machinery and available labor on ' an exchange basis especially in perishable crops areas because of tiie prospect that farmer labor will demand higher pay as industry ups ?

Your county and community committeemen and office person nel will be glad to explain to any one how to earn a payment for improving old pastures or estab lishing permanent pastures. All of our legumes and grnssns respond favorably to the use of lime and phosphate. Lime end phosphate should be used together on legumes and gresMs unless the land has been limed within the last few years. Due to the short age of grain for feed, farmers wffl need more good pastures end fcay crops this year.
