Grain Saving Sti essed
In New Feeding Plan
Animal Husbandry specialists of
the State College Extension Ser
vice have come up with a plan to
save more than five tons of grain
per carload of beef cattle.
Here's the way to do it ? Limit
the amount of grain feed to good
yearling steers to two-thirds of full
feeding. The result ? satisfactory
beef carcasses and a saving of more
than 500 pounds of grain per ani
mal!
? The experiments that showed the
possibilities of such savings pro
vided. data on feed requirements
The tedious and tiring job of
hand weeding tobacco plant beds
will be eliminated on many Wake
county farms next year because
farmers are chemically treating
their plant beds for weed control.

of cattle of various ages and their
subsequent fattening for market.
Normally there are wide differen
ces in needs for concentrate feeds
in the fattening of beef cattle. As
an animal developes from a calf
into a two-year old it requires in
creasing amounts of concentrates
for equal gains. This is partly be
cause of the greater efficiency of
a young animal in using feed, part
ly because of the greater mainten
ance requirements of the heavier
animal, and partly because of high
er proportion of the gain increment
is in the form of fat.
Limitation of grain in the ration
slows down somewhat the rate of
fat formation and permits the
building up of more lean tissue in
immature animals. In this process
the grade of carcass while not so
high, weight for weight, as in
heavy feeding is still very satisfac
tory to most consumers. Usually
the limitation of concentrate is
made up by feeding more hay and
silage. In the production of cattle
on two-thirds the full level of
grain feed, the investigators used
barley as the grain and medium
jgrade legumo hav as the-rotrehage.

ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION?What are the most
important points for a poultryman
to consider?
ANSWER?If you are going to
produce eggs, C. J. Maupin of State
College, Extension poultry special
ist, suggests that you consider three
principal points. (1) Secure and
maintain stock with good breeding.
(2) Keep an all-pullet flock. (3)
Grow out laying stock early. Early
laying means production in Sep
tember, when egg prices have been
highest in four out of the last five
years.
QUESTION?What type of soil
should roses be planted in?
ANSWER?In many cases the
home gardener has only a limited
area of ground available. For that
I reason it may not be possible to
| select an ideal location where the
| soil is well drained and where the
j plants will be exposed to full sun
| light for at least the greater part of
the day.
The best soil for the rose is a
rich clay loam with a large humus
content. This plant can be made to
thrive, however, in any fertile,
well-drained, slightly acid soil. It
the only available site has a tenden
cy to be damp or wet and remains
so, it will be nece.-.-aiy to d:a.n i
soil. Tile drainage is best, but a
ten-inch layer of cobblestones or
ronrse gravel laid in the bottom of
Lhe bed and in a ditch from the bed
4.o a lower level will serve the pur
pose.
It is perferable to prepare the
ground some weeks in advance in
slanting in order to have it firmly
settled. Spade the soil to a depth
of at least eighteen inches and re
place "about one-third of it with
rotted cow manure. If this cannot
Farmers Are Receiving
High Prices For Milk
Specialist Declares
Tar Heel farmers are now re
ceiving the highest cash income
from milk in the history of the
State, and 1947 returns are expect
ed to exceed, by a substantial a
moun, the 1946 record-breaking
total of $29,574,000, say J. A. Arey,
in charge of Dairying for the State
College Extension Service.
The growing importance of the
milk industry to the State's eco
nomy is further evidenced by the
new peak value of $39,856,000 set
on North Carolina's 361,000 milk
cows which produced, a total of
693,000,000 quarts of m;lk in 1946.
Annual milk prcduction per cow
averaged 1,921 quarts.
Expanded utilization of North
Carolina milk as fluid milk for
drinking ar.d cooking has increased
the overall value of the Sate's milk
output as farmers receive their
highest price for milk used in this
form. L;ftest annual figures for
North Carolina show butter pro
ctuction at 1,561,000 pounds. Ameri

of another kind of manure.

the culture of roses, write to the

Milk and its many products sup
ply the essentials of good nutri
tion at low cost. The dairy industry
is constantly striving to give con
sumers a high quality product at
the lowest possible cost.
- According to latest statistcs, milk
is a better food bargain today than
ever before, showing only about
half the gain in price for "all
foods." Mr. Arey said.
More than 15,000,000 young trees

North Carolina Division of Forestry

SCATTERED across this nation
are some of the cagiest auto
mobile buyers the world ever saw.
They cut their eyeteeth on a steer
ing wheel, so to speak?they know
car values from A to izzard - and
you have to be plenty good to step
ahead of your price class in the
volume of your sales to them.
That's why it's startling - some
times even to us ? to see the
double-barreled story of public
preference that's written in the
sales records and registration
figures:
ITEM: Only three cars outsell
Buick?and all of these are in
the so-called "low-price field."
?
ITEM: In some localities ? and
quite often in polls that ask
"Which car will you buy next?"
? Buick rianks not fourth, but
third, actually ahead of one of
the lowest-priced three.
Naturally, the smart buyer will
ask "How come?"
Well, the most standout style ot
the seaspiv-^hestyie that's the
clearest forecast of wonderful
/
things to be, undoubtedly has
much to do with it.
But that isn't all. The dollar is still
a pretty impdVtant measuring stick.
So we don't think Buick could be
where it is if it didn't offer a bigger
dollar's worth ? bigger in size and
substance, in lift and life, in soft
ride and easy handling, bigger in
the all-round happiness you'll get
out of your buy.
Which suggests, of course:
Why go against the solid judg
ment of your fellow men?
Why not see your Buick
dealer now?with or with
out a car to trade ? and
place the order that will
put you where you belong,
right up in the four-front?
