By H. E. Singletary
X. E. Rogers of the Orange
Chapel neighborhood ; harvested
13,000 pounds of seed from 30 acres
of second year lespedeza last fall.
These seed are being sold to farm- ’
ers in Orange and nearby coun
ties for planting this spring. Rogers
ers applies liberal amounts of lime
and superphosphate every two to
four years when lespedeza is to
be sown. He has been able to in
crease his yield of hay and seed
by following this practice.
Rogers is following a three-year
rotation of small grain lespedeza,
leaving the lespedeza on the land
for the second year. Com is usually
planted following second year les
pedeza.
W. C. Yeargan of the Orange
Church neighborhood seeded a
mixture of oats and crimson clover
early in September. Green fields
like this furnish an excellent soil
conserving crop during the win
ter months and if needed will pro
duce quality hay which can be har
vested when other crops are not
ordinarily available.
.Milton Latta of near Schley was
successful in grazing his cows for
approximately 30 days last fall on
a mixture of small grains and
crimson clover. This mixture was
seeded in late August. Lespedeza
will be seeded in February or
March, thus affording grazing dur
ing last spring and summer,
Rev. S. F. Nicks, who owns a
farm in the Cooper Store com
munity, has fenced in a large area
of cut-oyer woods land and has
started clearing off the under
growth in preparation for seeding
a permanent pasture mixture in a
few years. On a nearby open field
he will seed eight acres of perma
nent pasture this spring. Prepara
tion for seeding will consist of
liming at the rate of one3 ton per
acre as soon as possible then disc
ing the land and applying 400
pounds of 3-12-6 fertilizer per acre
prior ■ to or at the tifne of seeding.
He will seed a complete pasture
mixture of adapted grasses and
legumes. * -

Milk Plant To Be
In Chapel Hill
About 50 dairy farmers from
Orange, Durham and Chatham
counties have purchased a lot in
Chapel Hill and are planning the
establishment of. a milk products
plant and distribution station.
Colonel Cline, State College
graduate and former manager of
a similar concern in Winston-Sa
lem, will be manager of the plant
with Henry Hogan and Charles
Stanford acting leaders in the pro
ject. Rep^ John W. Umstead, Jr.,
is helping with the organization
and planning.
The plant will pasteurize and
bottle milk and make ice creain.
The lot bought by the group, on
Roberson street, may be sold if a
more desirable location can be se
cured. Construction of the plant
depends on the government's re
lease of materials.

GENERAL MERCHANDISE HILLSBORO
vATTLE are smart critter*/ as any livestock man
knows. They’ll even show you whether your land is
properly fertilized! * v
That cattle can give you the answer to this question
has heen proved by an experiment reported by Dr. Wm.
A. Albrecht of the University of Missouri, which is il
lustrated here. The cattle were turned loose in a field
in which there were two stacks of hay. The grasses were
the same species; the curing was the same; they looked
and smelled the same. But the cattle ate one stack and
never touched the other.-;---■
The hay from the stacks was analyzed in a laboratory.
Then it was discovered that the stack the cattle liked
contained much more calcium and phosphorus—two
minerals cattle must have for good health. The good
hay came from soil that had been treated with lime and
phosphate_the poor hay from untreated land.
Minerals essential to both human and animal health
come from the soil, are absorbed into plants and so. get
into the bodies of grazing animals. Human beings, of
course, get their supply of minerals from plant foods
liltH fruits, vegetables and cereals, and from foods of
animal origin like meats, fish and eggs.
Better soil produces better food, better livestock and
healthier people.

“The pig that pays is the "extra"one that lives in an average
litter. Baby pig death losses of from 30 to 60 per cent are far
too high. They can be greatly reduced.
Cleanliness is the first rule of profitable hog raising. Dirt
breeds disease and parasites, so it pays to move young pigs to
dean pastures and to keep them away from old pens and yards.
Old dry h^Hing has been known to start dust-pneumonia.
Cholera and erysipelas can be prevented by early vaccination,
and transfer of diseases from newly purchased hogs can be con
trolled by a period of isolation.
Observe common-sense rules and your pig&will live and grow.
Feed them well and when your hogs are ready, you’ll get your
"profit” from the extra ones raised in each litter.

THE EDITOR’S COLUMN
So many important things are
happening in the livestock and
meat business that it is difficult
* for an editor to deckle which to
write about and which to leave ;;
r out. -
Few people realize how much beef, pork, lamb and
veal must be set aside by meat packers operating
under federal inspection for the armed forces ana
Lend-Lease, As of January 7, 1945, 50% of all
utility steers, heifers, and cows are set aside for
the government canning program. The govern
ment will continue to call for 60% of the choice,
good, and commercial steer and heifer beef car
casses, excepting extremely light weights; also
80% of the cutter and tanner beef. Of the total
pork meat produced, excluding lard, approxi
mately 50% has to be set aside. Government pri
orities on "Good” and "Choice” lambs have aver
aged from 40 to 50% of the suitable lambs. Pri
ority orders also apply to approximately 50% of
- the "Choice,” "Good” and ^Commercial” veal
produced within specifications.
Of course, such regulations are necessary in
order to insure the proper conduct and winning of
the war. Nevertheless, producers and consumers
should know of these regulations as a partial ex
planation of why they are having difficulty in get
ting tiie supplies of beef, lamb, pork and veal
which they want.
