Page 6 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, MARCH J6, 1933 A Pag Crops For Poultry Grazing Is Subject Of Recent Bulletins Why poultry should have access to green grazing crops and the kinds of crops to grow for this purpose an: explained in a new bulletin of the North Carolina Experiment Station and now available to poultry growers in the State. The publication discusses the vita min requirements for poultry, the nutrition qualities of green feeds, the essentials of a desirable grazing crop, and those crops which may be grown in succession throughout the year. The work reported upon was conducted largely at the State College poultry plant and while the publication is written in popular form, the facts are founded upon careful scientific re search. "I believe this bulletin will be of tremendous value to poultry growers,-' says Roy S, Dearstyne, one of the authors and head of the State College department of poultry. "For years we have been asked the question which we have sought to solve by this work. I suspect that hundreds of letters have been written us in the last few years in which growers have request ed the kind of information given in this publication. 1 am hopeful that it will be of some service to the in dustry.'' f, R. V. Winters, Director of the Station, says this publication is an entirely new departure in the South and the first of its kind in the field. P. 11.

"We are all familiar with the wind ing ridges of dirt raised by the mole in making his runways. Ihese are feeding tunnels made as the little ani mal searches for the worms and bugs which are his standard diet," says A. E. Oman, rodent control leader for the United States Biological Survey at State College. "The home dens are larger cavities and ordinarily are located under stumps, rucks, stone walls or other surface objects. Some times field mice invade these runways and complete the destruction of plant ed corn or garden seeds pushed aside by the mole and thus cause the blame to fall on him." Moles are not entirely innocent of eating seed ami grain, Oman says. Often they will do much damage to bulb flowers. In eating corn, for in stance, the animal hulls the germ end and eats the germ. It does not eat the starchy portion. A mole may burrow down a corn nnv for 100 yards and eat only the germ of five or six kernels. After that, it pushes them aside as so much clay and seeks to satisfy its avid appiiite for worms and insects. Field mice on the other hand may do considerable damage to grain crops especially where they adjoin a straw field or brush' land. Moles may lie cunt rolled by trapping1 and .riold mice are readilly poisoiicl with strichnme-treatod wheat. or cluishcd oat?, the biologist says. Brief News Items Mixed Varities; Gets More Hay Mixing Mommoth Yellow and La-1 redo soybeans resulted in a larger crop of hay for P. E. Burch of Moun-; tain Park in Surry County who has been following this practice for some time now with excellent results. Last year Mr. Burch conducted a definite demonstration with County! Agent J. W. Crawford. Six plots were used and the soybeans were I planted on June 2.'.). In the first plot, Mr. Burch planted seven pecks of seed per acre, using one bushel of the Mammoth Yellow beans and one-half bushel of Laredo beans. In the sec ond plot, he used 8 pecks of Mammoth Yellow; third, iila pecks of Octooton; fourth, U pecks of Biloxi; fifth, 7 pecks of Hollybrook, and sixth, 5 pecks of Laredo. The mixture of Mammoth Yellows and Laiedus produced -1,771 pounds of cured buy an acre. The Mammoth Yellows alone gave :j,518 pounds; the Otootans, '3,51. .pounds; the Biloxi, 3,515 pounds; the Hollybrook, J.181 pounds, and the Laredos alone gave 3,010 pounds. The hay was cut on September JO and weighed on September Under conditions in Surry County, the Mammoth Yellow beans usually give a good yield of hay but Mr. Burch has found that by mixing this variety with the Laredos, he secures an even better yield. This is due to the Mammoth Yellows supporting the more recumbent Laredos and thus en- aDling a oetier nai vesi. i no i..aicu. beans also add to the value of the hay because of the finer stems and the abundance of foliage.

Answer; Planting cheap seed is the most expensive investment a farmer can make under any condition. Plant a smaller acreage to the best seed obtainable. The smaller planting will, in many eases, produce as much as the larger acreage planted to cheap seed. The land thus released may be sown to legumes such as cowpeas, clover, or lespedeza as a soil build ing or grazing crop. QUACKS 4 1 A By I. E. A. QUACKER Question: How soon after farrow ing should a sow be put on full feed? Answer: The pigs should be at least two weeks old before the sow is put on a full ration. No feed at all should be given the first (lav after farrowing with a small amount of shipstuff, fed as a slop, on the second day. The ration is then gradually increased each day with the animal getting a fuli ration on the fourteenth day. Question: How far apart should 1 .-et my corn rows to plant soybeans in the middles and how much seed wi it take to plant an acre? .nswer: Corn rows should be. set about six feet apart where soybeans are to be grown in the middles. This allows for cultivation without damage to the beans. With the corn rows six feel apaif, it takes about twenty pounds of seed to plant an acre. the old a disarming grin, it flash red and gre. street.
