Timely Questions
And Answers On
Farm Problems
Question: When should lespedeza
i;t Miwn on small grain and how much
no.! should be used to the acre?
Answer; All lespedeza should be
,wn on small grain in February or
March but the time of germination of
different varieties must determine the
exact date of planting. The Korean
variety germinates in about two weeks
and all other varieties between four
nnd five weeks. Planting should be
made so as to avoid freezing the
young plants. One bushel or 25 pounds
f geed will plant an acre ir broadcast.
The seed should be lightly covered.
Question: Should poultry used for
breeding purposes be confined or al
lowed free range?
Answer: Ranging birds are health
ier and have more vitality and the
breeding flock should be allowed to
range at will unless the weather is
raw and blustery. The eggs from a
flock ranging under normal conditions
will oroduve chicks that are aoie to
throw on disease ana grow into neay
producing adults.
Question: How can we secure the
agricultural publications issued at
State College?
Answer: A post card to the Agri
cultural Editor, State College Station,
Raleigh, N. C. stating the number or
title of publication desired will bring
a prompt reply. Be .sure, however, to
sign your name and give your full
address. .Many requests for bulletins
do not have this information.
Certified Farm
Seeds Give Far
BetterYield
Whether or not it pays to use im
proved seeds 'of farm crops can be
seen from the results of a recent sur
vey reported by Dr. G. K. Middleton,
f-eed specialist .at State College, who
says the differences in favor of good
,seeds are especially striking if the
crops concerned are affected regular-
i i. , . i' ... j
ly oy losses Jiom disease.
"We have found that increased acre
yields due to the use of certified seed
will average about 20. 0 percent for
corn 23.5 percent for wheat, 23.3 per
cent for oats, 30 percent for barley,
arid as high as 74 percent for irish
potatoes," says Dr. Middleton. "The
results secured in recent years by the
Experiment Station bears out these
fifures remarkably well from the pure
ly sientific viewpoint. For instance,
the new strain of Porro Rico sweet
potato developed by Robert Schmidt
has given increase of 61 bushels of
No. 1 stock over seed potatoes sup
plied by three different growers. Last
year more than 1(500 growers tried
out this new strain and they secured
under field conditions an increased
yield of 18.5 percent over the pota
toes they had been using."
Dr. Middleton reports the same
good results with cotton. Sirteen
tests were conducted in 11 counties
over a 'period of five years and the
results from using pure seed of one
variety gave an average acre yield
of 555 pounds an acre of lint cotton
as compared with only 478 pounds of
lint per acre from seed which had ot
been kept pure. This is an increase
of 16 percent.
When these tests with cotton have
been carried to the field by the ave
rage grower, the resulst have been
about the same. Demonstrations con
ducted in Pitt and Anson counties
showed average yields of 593 pounds
of lint an acre for improved seeds as
compared with 516 pounds for ordi
nary seeds.

More Cottonseed
Meal Should Be
Used In Feed
Profit Of More Than $300,000
Would Be Realized In
State.
If cottonseed meal formed only a
minoi part of the food ration fed to
the hogs of North Carolina, there
would be an additional profit of over
$300,000 to the State to say nothing
of the fertilizing material left on the
land in the form of manure.
"During the year 1931, we had 90,
794 sows of breeding age on the farms
of this state and if we assume that
each of these animals farrowed and
raised ten pigs in 1932, then there
would be 967,940 hogs for slaughter
or sale during that year," says Earl
H. Hostetler, animal husbandman at
State College. "If these hogs were
fed according to facts which we have
determined at the Experiment station,
which includes using cottonseed meal
as a part of the protein supplement,
ihe farmers of the State would have
received $300,061.40 more profit than
if animal protein alone was used."
Mr. Hostetler figures that tht! use
of cottonseed meal as a partial feed
for hogs would not only give this good
projfiit and save the need to spend
money for that much fish meal or
tankage but he says further the use of
this cottonseed meal would have left
1,631,560 pounds of nitrogen, 790,922
pounds of phosphoric acid and 4S7.S12
pounds of potash for plant food in the
form of manure on the land.
The feeding of cottonseed meal to
dairy cattle is rather well understood
in the State and feeders are careful
not to add too .much of the meal to
the ration. The station workers have
known for 10 years that the meal had
a toxic effect. Swine are more sus
ceptible to this trouble than are cattle
and sheep yet h'ogs may be fed the
meal safely.. The resulting gains are
made rapidly and at greater profit
than when animal proteins alone are
used. Methods of mixing such rations
ivav be .obtained from Mr. Hostetler.

To Improve Soil,

And Eliminate Commercial
Fertilizers.

LORE N A ROGERS.
Some of the Expense incurred in
using large amounts of commercial
fertilizers in North Carolina might be
eliminated by the keeping of more
livestock and the saving of all animal
manures.
"When it is realized that this State
uses from 500,000 to 1,250,000 tons
of commercial fertilizers annually, the
need for combining more feed crops
and livestock with the usual cash crops
becomes glaringly apparent," says L.
I. Case, animal husbandman at State
College. "Some of our good livestock
growers go so far as to advocate buy
ing feedstuff's to feed livestock to that
more manure may be made available.
When we consider that the material
purchased is largely in the form of
cottonseed meal r.nd tankage which
nre rich in protein this suggestion is
well worth consideration. A high per
centage of the fertilizing constituents
of such feeds is recovered in the ma
nure after they have passed through
the animals."
To make more manure, Mr. Case
suggests using large amounts of dry
bedding. Grain straw and corn stover
are probably the best. The material
rots rather easily and the pith of the
corn 'stover absorbs much of the liquid
manure, which is the most valuable
part. However, the "ordinary pine
straw is good better if it is applied
in the dry state. So much of the pine
rtraw U'cd is gathered when wet and
; pplied to ;h,. stalls or t'oed lot's satu
rated with moisture. It is therefore
I unable to take up the valuable liquid
manure.
Under any conditions. Mi, (:w urg
es more attention to 'handling the
manure so that its valuable fertiliz
ing elements may .'not be lost. In the
more expensive feed lots, Ihe. floors
are all paved. Under other conditions,

Cows Need Large
Amount Of Water
Daily, Says Expert
Average Cow Consumes About
77 Pounds Of Water
Dailv.
A group of Orange County farmers
have raised enough ' funds to '.buy a
I'ercheron stallion. One farmer has
bought a pure bred mare.
The digestive system of the, cow is
so arranged that large quantities of
water are needed for its pioper work
ing. Records show that the average
cow will consume about 77 pounds of
water each day.
"Many of the ills of the dairy cow
may be ascribed to a lack of pure
water," says Dr. C.D. Grinnells, in
charge of dairy invesflgation for the
North Carolina. Experiment Station.
"This type of animal consumes large
quantities of dry roughages and grains
and because the cow uses coarse feeds
made up of plants with hard, tough
cell walls, nature has endowed her
with an interesting but complicated
stomach digestion. She needs con
siderable water to bring about the
proper workings of this system. A
large cow will secrete about 60 quarts
of saliva every twenty-four hours."
Water is also essential for rumina
tion or "cud-chewing" and many times
the so-called lost cud is due to a lack
I of this fluid. This stopping of rumi
nation is not a disease in itselt but
is a symptom of a number of diseases.
Dr. Grinnell ays. When the cause of
the trouble is removed, the cud will
return.
innells points out that cud
is an essential part of the
activities of the cow. When
, the food is onlv slightly
macerated then the food goes to the
tonia. h or paunch when1 it undergoes
a .-oakiiig. softening or fermentation
pi.iccss, after wheh it is transferred
to the honeycombe. This process takes
a heavy secret ion of saliva and a large
amount ot' water, . It takes considera-
le iluid to soften and ferment all- the
hay, grass or grain that may be pack
ed in .the first stomach or rumen with
a capacity of 20 to 25 gallons. In the
second stomach or honeycombe. lieu
cuds are constantly formed, says tlx1
investigator.
A certain famous motor car manu
facturer advertised that he had put a
car together in seven minutes. The
next morning he was called on the
phone and asked if it were so. ',
-Yes," was the reply, ' Why?"
"Oh.- nothing. Hut, I believ0
