Temporary Grazing Is Used By Dairymen Planting of soybeans, sudan grass, lespedeza and sweet clover for sum mer and fall grazing should be in 'progress now and may be continued until mid-summer, advises John A. Arey, dairy specialist of the State College Extension Service, who says grazing of cultivated crops is ai) ideal way for dairymen to lower the pro duction cost of milk. This practice is especially valuable in areas where the soil is "sandy, be cause in regions with clay soil the cows pack the ground when it js wet and it is hard to break for corn and other crops to follow, Arey explained. Biloxi soybeans planted this month in rows about 24 inches apart and fertilized with about 300 to 400 pounds of a 3-8-6 fertilizer will pro vide abundant nutritious grazing by June, the specialist said. This varie ty of beans can be grazed three or four times during the summer at in tervals of about 15 days if all the leaves are not removed at any one time. The cows should be alternated between pastures to prevent too close grazing. Sudan grass should be seeded at the rate of 30 pounds per acre on good land and fertilized with 400 pounds of a high grade complete fer tilizer. It will furnish excellent grazing within about six weeks af ter seeding. Sudan grass is drought rsistant and therefore will prove val uable in supplementing permanent pasture during the hot, dry period of July and August. Lespedeza should have been sown on small grain in February or March. The Korean variety is one of the best for grazing. Sweet clover is not as palatable as lespedeza, but it will produce more grazing per acre than any of the crops previously mention ed. For the most part, soils in this State should be limed before sweet clover is planted. BEST All indications point to this year's Farm and Home Week at State Col lege as the best ever to be held. The event takes place July 31, to August 4 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE BANK OF FOUNTAIN FOUNTAIN, NORTH CAROLINA, At the close of business March 29, 1939 ASSETS 1.

Farm products prices. down for 3rd month. above average supply. of feed grain certain. prospects -favor larger eggs, poultry production. i . Lowering of the general level of local market prices for farm prod ucts by 1 point is reported by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics for the month ending March 15. This, the third consecuaive month in which a decline has occurred, brought the index to the lowest point since July 1934. The mid-March index prices receiv ed by fanners was reported by the Bureau as 91 per cent of pre-war compared with 92 per cent in Febru ary and with 96 in March 1938. The index of prices paid by farm ers, at 120 per cent of pre-war, was unchanged from the level reported for each of the previous 3 months, but 5 points lower than in March 1938. With the lowering in the index of prices received, however, the ex change value of farm products de clined 1 point to 76 per cent of pre war, or 1 point lower than in March last year. The index of prices paid by farm ers, at 120 per cent of pre-war, was unchanged from the level reported for each of the previous 3 months, but 5 points lower than in March 1938. With the lowering in the index of prices received, however, the ex change value of farm products de clined 1 point to 76 per cent of pre war, or 1 point lower than in March last year. Except for dairy and poultry pro ducts, which usually decline in March, prices for the individual commodities moved with a narrow range during the month. Grain prices were un changed with fractionally higher prices of corn, oats, and barley off setting lower prices for wheat, rye, and rice. Cotton and cottonseed werp slightly higher with the group index up 1 point over the mid-February level. Fruit prices averaged 3 points higher. Meat animal prices were un changed. Dairy products-declined 7 points, and poultry products, 3 points. Compared with mid-March prices last year, rather wide variations were reported. Truck crop prices were up 13 points ? fruit .prices were 12 points higher. Cotton and cottonseed were up 1 point. Declines of IS and 17 points, respectively, were recorded for grains and dairy products. Chick en and egg prices were 6 points lower than in March, 1938. Meat animal i prices were 1 point lower. Domestic wheat prices averaged on ly one-fifth of a cent a bushel lower on March 15 than a month earlier de- , spite sharp declines in world markets. Higher wheat prices in some , of the eastern areas failed to offset minor , declines in the West. Central and Mountain areas. Com was ope-half cent a bushel higher due to slightly higher prices in areas outside of the 1 main com producing region. Prices received by farmers for cotton lint ? rose seasonally. Local market prices of hogs de clined 11 cqpts per 100 pounds, rath- - I er sharply in contrast with the usual advance of about 5 per cent for the month. Beef cattle advanced 14 cents per 100 pounds to $7 per hundred, 1 the highest average for the month since 1930. The advance of 6 cent per 100 pounds in lamb prices was . slightly less thajfcthe usual increase , although -the" March 15 average was 8 cents above the level a year earlier. . Wool declined one-fifth of a cent a pound to a 20-cent average as some , fleeces from the new clip started to market. A supply of fee<l grains per ani mal unit .about the same as the pre drought average is in prospect for the 1939-40 season, the Bureau of 1 Agricultural Economics reports. The supply is expected to be smaller than last year, however. ./ This prospect for the' 1989-40 feed ing period, the Bureau said in its spring >utj$ok issue of. the Feed Grain "Situation, is based on 1923-32 average yields, normal abandonment on prospective plantings, which an allowance for a considerable increase in the livestock population, particu larly in hog and poultry numbers. It was pointed out that with these assumptions, production of corn, oats, barley, and the grain sorghums this year would be around 91 million tons. This would be about 6 million tons less than in 1938 and 9 million tons below the 1928-82 average. But the prospective large carry-over into the 1939 harvest season probably would bring total supplies of feed grains tot 1989-40 to. "about the pre-drought average." The large stocks of corn reported by the Bureau as of January 1 indi cate a record carry-over into the 1989-40 marketing year. The carry over of oats probably will be above the average for the 1929-83 period, but below the carryover on July 1, 1938. Should yields be aa high this year as in the past 2 years, production would be about the same as in. 1938 and total suppliees would again be above average. High yields in 1937 and 1938 were attributed in part to to^glue^ "Sow average! ^^^n*taiporting r ? . '"?*** ? ? countries have somewhat larger sup plies than a year Ago, and European requirements are reported somewhat smaller. "This situation," the Bu reau said, "indfcatee that domestic exports of com and other feed grains during the 1988-39 marketing year [may be somewhat smaller than the [189393,000 bushels exported during the 12 months ending September 30, 1988." Prospects continue to favor in creased egg production and increased production and marketings of poultry this year compared with last, the Bu reau of Agricultural Economics says in a discussion of the poultry and egg situation, i. Favorable to larger productibn are the plentiful supplies of feed at re latively low prices, and farm poultry flocks that in early March were about 6 per cent larger than in March last year. Feed prices, compared with egg prices, usually advance at this time of year. For the past 2 months, however, the feed egg ratio has held relatively constant?an added factor favoring increased production. The le88-than-uflual seasonal de cline in farm prices of eggs from February 15 to mid-March was in contrast to the sharp drop during January. Farm prices of eggs on March 1 averaged only slightly low er than a year earlier but were 177 per cent below the 10-year average of March 1 prices. The Bureau pointed out that the heavier production of winter broilers this season largely accounted for the 46 per cent increase this March over last in the receipts of poultry on the New York market Total storage stocks of frozen poultry in early March also were larger than a year earlier. More poultry is expected to go to market in the remaining months of 1939 than in those months last year. Farmers have more chickens than a year ago and prospects indicate a ma terial increase in the 1939 hatch com pared with the hatch last year. A more favorable outlook factor, how ever, is the expectation that con sumer incomes and demand for poul try will average somewhat higher this year than in 1938. DOINGS OF MEN Since the time when history first be gun There has been many, many things done Patriots, Heroes, Heroins, Kings and Queens Have filled volumes with subjects and themes. Men-have worked, tilling of the soil Some have gained fortunes by their tod Wars have been fought among many nations Gospel, Sermons have proclaimed plans of salvation. Science and research has long since found That knowledge and wisdom has no bound But for hopes the heart would break The deepst snows falls flake by flake. Man's work begins with the sun His victories are won one by one rhe rulers of nations give their com mands rheir servants and subjects, carry out plans. No commander is greater than what he commands rhe mighty oceans boundaries are grains of sand Gene rals, give orders one by one rhey are carried out by men and guns. Mbnarchs and marters in days of old Has shared triumphs and agonies un told When nations are trembling in weak dispair When Chaos and sorrows seems everywhere. rhe bullwarks are stayed by men and steel Who meet each other on battlefield The ones that does all that is done Are the men who fires the gun. ? Now many lie beneath the fair blue sky. Awaiting for judgement days coming by The pen may be mightier than the sword But the waiver of both must meet their Lord.
