FARM GRIT
GRIT GRINDS
EDITED BY THE COUNTY AGENT
Let ns grow clover and grass on the hill j
While intensely the levels and flat we till.
The cows and hens will settle our daily till;
While the .beeves, sheep and tobacco the coffers fill.
And, when orchard, garden and 'sty the larder fill.
Then, with a smile, will Mary greet her Bill.
CAR OF LAMBS SHIPPED
ANOTHER ; MEETING The
Saturday, July 12, a car of annual field day of the Stat
lambs was shipped by the J Test Farm, Swannanoa, will
Madison Farmers, Inc, Fif-,be held at that place on.Au
teen farmers consigned lambs
in this car. The lambs were
not extra in quality, not car
rying enough flesh to grade
tops. Mr. C. G. Filler. Live
stock Marketing Specialist of
State Department of Agricul
ture, cooperated with the
Madison Farmers and the
county agent, in handling this
load- Returns have not come
at this writing.
At least two sheep men
saw the need of greater care
in finishing lambs because of
this load. It takes feed to make
a lamb choice. One lamb in
the load, a late March lamb,
weighed 82 pounds, was fat
and, according to Mr. Filler,
was the only real choice lamb
in the load. This lamb had re
ceived regularly, twice a day,
from the lime it wou'd eat a
small har.dful of feed. The
result was evident.
Every sheep owner should
provide a creep for his lambs,
T 1L.' . .
iu uiis creep snouia De a
trough for grain. As soon as
possible Iambs should be
taught to enter this creep and
eat grain provided. By doing
this every sheep owner can
put choice lambs on the mar
ket. The extra gain will more
than pay for the feed as will
also the extra price received.
Lets do it next year,
j CREAM UP Tuesday, the
writer, by invitation, talked to
the patrons of the Biltmore
Dairy on the care and feeding
of dairy cattle. A very inter-

esung meeting was field, a
Bout 30 or more being in at
tendance. It will interest the cream
producers of Madison county
to learn that that the price of
cream or rather ott butterfa,
will be around 83 to 85 cents
for thk Week. ,Aly that the
Biltmore people .are ."grading
cream according r; to I quality.
Extra cream brings 3 cents
pound above'; No 1 f cream
which, brings the price paid
before this. No. 2 cream take
a price beloVNo, l ' We are
gl&d to say that After is , very
. little if any, of Ko. 2 cream
from this county., Most of, it
is No. 1. - Most of it could be

COVER CROPS It is the
season to think of these. Ev
ery acre of cultivated land
should be covered this winter
with some sort of a crop to
prevent loss by erosion. The
losses from erosion are the
greatest losses that occur to
cultivated land.
Any cover crop will payfor
itself and more. But some
are more valuable than others.
The small grains all enter this
list They are valuable for
this purpose. When intend
ed for grain no other crop can
be used with them. However,
if intended for pasture or hay
let's include with these Small
grain seed a liberal amount of
hairy vetch seed. -: It builds
the land : it pulverizes the
tight soils; !t makes' an excel
lent hay or pasture crop. ';
, If possible sow some , rye
and hairy vetch early in Sep
tember; or even in late August
for pasture and "hay purposes.
Cover the tobacco, land' with
this if ot needed or intended
for wheat Some of our pool
, .t -.-j . .-.-'.-'"'1 ' t : .,- ; .
try people could well, sow ' a
patch of . wheat and' hairy
vetch for their chickens. They
can use- it for pasture during
the t winter and in the spring
let k"; the -; chJckens.,jBrather the
wheat"" Out cream producers
can go a good distance toward
economical production of but-
terfat by -, providing winter
pasture of a mixture of small
grains, and hairy vetch. Use
a mixture of barley, wheat
rye, about a third of each and
around a bushel and a half to
the acre with about 25 pcuiicU
cf hairy vetch .: Include J, to
the acre. Euch a crop v.IU
