State College Extension Service, Dr. ( I. O. Schaub, Extension director, has ( announced. ] The first of these two-day district meetings will begin October 16 and the last will be held October 31 and November 1. There are five exten sion districts in the State. Three of the conferences will be held in Raleigh, one in Statesville, and the last in Asheville. Dr. Schaub explained that the : meetings will be held to coordinate county farm and home educational programs with the work at State College. Subject matter specialists of the Extension Service will con sult with each of the agents and make arrangements for visits to the counties to give method demonstra tions. The type and number of re sult demonstrations to be placed with farmers and farm women also will be discussed with each agent.

Growers Now Seeding Winter Cover Crops With tobacco moving to market and cotton being picked for ginning* North Carolina farmers are devoting many of their few spare momenta to the seeding of winter coyer crops, says E. C. Blair, extension agronom ist of State College. Largely through the AAA grant of-aid program which enables grow ers to secure certain seed without cost at planting time, the acreage .de voted to these winter legumes and grasses has increased steadily during the past few years, One of the main objectives in growing winter cover crops is to in crease soil fertility, Blair explained. To get the maximum benefit^ soil improvement, the whole crop should be turned under at such a time and in such a. manner as to allow the crop to decay in time to do the most good for the crop that follows. However, Blair said, many ' cover crops may be grazed to a limited ex tent, but grazing must be discontinu ed in time for the crop to mature for grain or Beed. If the crop is to I be used for grazing, it ia essential I that it be planted early enough in I the fall to a satisfactory I growth before cold weather. I On the average farm, the State I College agronomist pointed out, there v is usually a need for whiter feed and I an early crop of hay or grain tc I supplement the hay and grain crop? I of the fall just past. There is alsc I a need for green feed during the win I ter to increase the supply of mill I for the family and to graze othei | livestock. || Winter dover crops may be usee H*i leur ways: turned under for soi I improvement; grazed for a limitee ?(time, allowed to reach the hay liand cut for hay; grazed for a limhw IItime, allowed to mature,: and use< ||fer grain and seed; and grazed t< |j their full capacity as a part of th J J I MIRACLE WHIP I SALAD ? 10 J I Dressing Jar ????
