10c PER COPT
I0CAL FARMERS
USE HAY '
SUPPLEMENT
Many Madison' County farmers
have found t'hat it is necessary
to try to save hay during the win
ter time. Due to the deep enow
and extended period of bad weath
er during the spring of I960, ma
ny North -Carolina farmers were
short on hay and silage for feed-
ing their cattle. The money spent
for roughage (to finish the winter
feed period 'took a large share of
the farmers' profit on livestock
enterprises.
E. O. Burnetts of Walnut Com
munity in Madison County has
made plans to supplement his
winter roughage program this
year by topdressing 'his cover
crops with a nitrogen- fertilizer.
He feels that the ammonium
nitrate . used on the cover crops
during ithe late winter months
will iprovide a large amount of
grazing for his dairy cows. He
says that the extra gnasoing re
ceived as a result of this practice
wiill much more than offset the
cost of the material used. '
This practice 'will also be used
by other farmers : in the county
this year.. :
