Questions
Question: Is ditching with dyna
mite an economical investment?
Answer: "In spite of the high
cost of dynamite," says H. M. Ellis,
in charge of agricultural engineer
ing for the State College Extension
Service, "ther are many plates
on our farms where ditch blasting
viill pay big dividends. As an ex
ample he cites the case of Owen i
Harrison, Mt. L'lla, Route 1. in
Howan County, where a demon-
strstion was held recemh. A ditch
was blasted which was 2 5 feet
deep, five feet wide at the tup. and
SOO feet long all for a cost of only
S97 50 for materials and the labor
of four men for a fe hours Al
most three acres of land thus was
leclaimed from a boggy area which 1
a tow could hardh hae waded j
through. It would have been im- 1
practical and almost impossible to
dig this ditch by any other method
except dynamiting The farmers
who saw this demonstration were
fully satisfied, and several of them
estimated the cost to be four times
greater than it actuallv was
Question: "What is the aerage!
rale of milk production per dairy ,
cow in the L'nited States.'
Answer: The U. S. Department
cf Agriculture says thai last year
dairy farmers obtained an average '
cf 5.000 pounds of milk per cow.',
This year the figure is expected to i
be higher. Although farmers have ! ''
fewer cows in their herds, they are
milking a higher proportion of
those on hand, and are teedng al
lecord rates. Of course, feed
pikes have gone down steadiiV
since early, last spring so much
so that even in the face of some
what lower prices for dair prod
ucts, farmers will still find it profit
able to feed liberallv.
