LET US HELP you PLAN A PROFITABLE FLOCK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Pharaacy Hillsboro Soil Coaservatira Mews - 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. * - Around Orange WITH THE HONE AGENT' SCHLEY MEETING The Schley community meeting was held at the Grange hall Tues day, January 30, with the local H.D. club vice-president, Mrs. Allan Latta, in charge.

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.

L. Brown & Son 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. 1 SODA BILL SEZ That hens that cackle the loudest are often better at lying than laying. That he makes the livin’, but it’s his family * that makes livin’ worth while. ■I “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 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.
