He says that Charlie Ledford of the Otto community in Macon County is just one of many West ern North Carolina farmers who have learned this tragic fact. In a recent conversation with Whitfield, Ledford pointed to his deep woods and said: "You could put cows into this woodland cove and forget them." Explaining quickly that to turn cattle into such woods would likely bring a quick death from poisonous plants, he added facetiously, "When they are dead you can forget them." Whitfield points out that many Western North Carolina farmers have leanned too that cattle seek out plants that grow in the richer soils first and leave the dry ridges until there is nothing left in the coves to eat. They eat the more valuable tree? such as yellow pop lar, white oak. and white pine, leaving trees like black gum and hickory to fill the spaces. Cattle pack the soil, depriving trees of needed moisture. This packing causes water to run over the top of the ground, taking soil with it, and exposing fine feeder roots to the sun and wind. In addition, when cattle roam through trees which are too large I ing inventory before you pack away summer clothing.

It's a good idea, too, to take off all pins or metal orna ments which leave rust or other marks on fabrics in storage. You'll probably find it more practical to store away unironed garments; however, if your storage space is at a prepiium, ironed and carefully folded clothing will re quire less space.

North Carolina Corn Crop Cut By Hurricane Damage On the basis of probable yield reports from growers, .as of Oc tober 1, the state's corn produc tion is forecast at 63.643,000 bush els, according to the North Caro lina Crop Reporting Service. The present forecast is a decline of 6,159,000 bushels since Septem ber 1 and 10.265,000 bushels since August 1 before the hurricanes "Connie," "Diane." and "lone" struck the state. Yield per acre is indicated at 31 0 bushels compared with 24.0 for the drought-stricken year 1954. Unfavorable weather conditions prevailed during September in the main corn producing Coastal Plains area. In this section of the State two hurricanes struck about mid-August and were followed by heavy rainfall for two or three weeks. On September 19 and 20 the third hurricane, "lone," struck in almost the same area, causing heavy damage to the crop. Prior to "lone" the corn crop in the Ciastal Plains area was badly twisted and crossed, with consider able acreage almost flat on the ground. This latest hurricane slow ed to almost a standstill over the Plains Area and was accompanied by high winds and heavy rainfall, together with high tides, that caused complete losses to some growers and resulted in very low yields to many other growers. In the Piedmont and Mountain sections of the state the crop is mostly good to very good. Weather conditions in these areas have been generally favorable to above aver age throughout most of the grow ing season. In spite of adverse weather conditions, mostly in the Coastal Plains Area, the State's production of corn is expected to to be eaten, the trees invariably have a great amount of "butt rot". This ruins the first log of the tree which should be the best under normal conditions. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions QUESTION: Can I keep lard from becoming rancid? ANSWER: Yes. Extension Ani mal Husbandry Specialist John A. Christian says that rancidity can be prevented by adding an anti oxident to the lard when it is rendered, or sealing in jars while it is hot to keep air out. ) QUESTION: Should hens be "stimulated" into early lay? ANSWER: R. S. Dearsstyne of the State College poultry science department reminds tbat sexual maturity is an inherited character istic, that diet has little if any in fluence on it, and the process can't be hurried by so-called "short cuts". QUESTION: How does a dairy man know what size bulk tank his farm needs? ANSWER: A rule of thumb is: Buy one big enough to hold three milkings during the flush season where there's an every-day pick up. If milk is hauled every other day, the tank will need to hold five be the best since 1951. Harvest of the crop has been under way for two or three weeks, mostly in the lower Coastal Plains area. Very little corn has been harvested in the western half of the state as the crop is less ad vanced in this section. m likings. QUESTION: What is this stilbes trol I've been hearing about? ANSWER: Stilbestrol is a syn Size Of Egg Unrelated To Food Value $ Is the fall of the year pullets are just coming into production and that means more small eggs on the market, says R. S. Dear styne of the State College poultry science department. And although some storekeepers are reluctant to stock small eggs, Dearslyne emphasizes that small eggs often are a better buy than standard size eggs on a pound for pound basis. He says that sometimes people get the idea that largo eggs are better than small eggs, the infer ence being that the large ones have higher food value. This isn't the case because fool value is not re lated to egg size. Egg size is inherited. It usually takes eight weeks or more for birds to build from small egg size to standard size. Thus the producer is confronted with the problem of a market for small eggs for a few months after the birds come into lay. And although it's rough on the producer, it's a break for the housewife who is a thrifty buyer. thetic female sex hormone which stimulates growth rate and feed consumption of cattle. QUESTION; Are there any dan cers involved in riving stllbestrol to cattle? ANSWER: It changes the appear ance of cattle and is recommended ' only for fattening cattle to be slaughtered. , CHECKERBOARD , NEWS By Joe Cline ^ and Dick Bradley CUNi - BRADLEY COMPANY V The Why And How Of Pig Worming Roundworms are costing us our shirts and many of us don't even know it. Did you know a single full-grown female worm may con tain 26 or 27 million eggs?more than enough to infest all the pigs in Iowa? Well. I didn't until I read It In a Purina Research article. It's htrd to believe, but almost a third of the pigs farrowed never reach market. Worms can drag a pig down to the point where he's neith er thrifty nor strong. You would spend 4 to 6 cents to save up to 2 bu. of corn and 15 lbs. of supplement, wouldn't you? Purina experienoe shows that the average hog, raiser can do this by ridding pigs of worms at weaning time with Purina Pig Wormer. No set-back with Pig Wormer and it's easy to feed. No catch. No cuss. No feeding muss. Ask us for advice and help. Don't Try To Cheat Brood Sows; It Can't Be Done The ration a brood sow is fed dur ing gestation shows up in the size, strength and condition of the litters she farrows. If she is improperly fed during the gesta tion period, small litters will re sult. In fact, in an effort to maintain her body, a sow will resorb some at the tiny embryos. You may lose pigs you never even see because the sow's nutritional requirements are not met. Watch the sow's weight and con dition carefully. The average sow should gain from 100 to 115 lbs. during gestation. In addition to good quality legume hay we recom mend hand feeding Sow & Pig Chow and grain ? 1 to 4. Provide pflenty of fresh water. Purina Livestock Mineral fed free-choice is a good investment. Why Do You Recommend Bfoster Checkers? That question is thrown at us quite ofetn. In the case of pullets just coming into production we explain it this way. A good pullet usually lays her first egg at 4Vi to 3 months, but body growth is not complete until about 10 months. Her greatest strain comes during the first 4 to 5 months of production, when she should lay 80 to 115 eggs, complete her growth, maintain, her body. Special feeds to meet her de mand? for a higher level of pro teins, vitamins and minerals of ten help the pullet through her peak production period without mishap. Booster Checkers are ex tra high in animal and vegetable protein, mineral and vitamins. They're designed for top-feeding during times of stress. Top feed Booster Checkers now to guard against production slumps later on. Also, great for conditioning blder layers If needed. 3 dozen extra eggs per pullet means extra egg profits ?Last year tgg records from farm ladies just like folks in our area revealed they produced 3 dozen more eggs per pullet during the fall months when prices were highest than the U. S. average flocks produced. We told them they could beat the average by 40% on the Purina Laying Chows Program, but they beat them by an extra 20% for good measure. There's still time to switch to the Purina Program and go after extra eggs this fall. Ask about the plan that's right for you. | Birds Need A Conditioner?

It's fortified with extra health-promot ing vitamins and antibiotics. Chek R-Aid ... a ready-to-feed flock conditioner. CLINE-BK 5 POINTS Joe Cline - A1AVW i ADLEY CO.
