ANSWER: Cattle should be put on full feed as rapidly as possible, says L. I. Case, Extension animal husbandman of N. C. State College. As a general rule three to four weeks is ample time to get cattle <m to full feed. To start with, they should be fed all the roughage they will eat, together with three to four pounds of concentrated feed. This concentrated feed is increased from day to day until the animals are getting all they will eat • QUESTION: What types of firm machinery are now rationed? ANSWER: It will he necessary for farmers to get certificates from their special Farm Machinery Rationing Committee for tractors, combines, fertilizer spreaders, grain drills, hay balers, lime spreaders manure spreaders, milk coolers, milking machines, pick'up balers, potato diggers, shredders, disc harrows, fee^ grinders, and corn pickers^ Information about rationing may be obtained from the oi'fice of the County Farm Agent. 4 QUESTION: What are some of the beat varieties of grapes to grew? ANSWER: Some of the better varieties at grapes recommended by James G. Weaver, State College horticulturist, are: Scuppernong, Mish, Memory, Thomas and James. The Scuppernong is a white or goldeitcolored variety, and the Mish, Memory and James are very popular black varieties. Thomas is an extra good red variety. . - , _ Farmers Urged To Save Thei|y. Lespedeza Seed Lespedeza is the favorite aoflbuilding crop, and one of the principal grazing and hay crops, of Tar Heel fanners. Enos C, Blair, Exten, skm agTommiiat of N. C. State Ooflege, reminds North Carolina farmers that the season for saving lespedeza seed Is at hand. , "Daring the War, when nitrogen fertilizers are exteremely scarce and likely to become even harder to obtain, it is the patriotic doty of every fanner to grow legumes," said the Extension Servce specalist. "We also need more feed and pasture to meet oar livestock production goals in the Food-for Freedom program." The Com men, Tennessee 76 and Kobe varieties of lespedeza ripen seed about November 1 in the Coastal Plain, and a little earlier in the upper Piedmont and Mountains. The time depends on the first killing fleet The Med should be harvest' ed as soon as possible after meturi Blair advised. This is especially true of Common and Tennessee 76. Seed of the Korean variety of leaped esa will remain an the stalk until five or six weeks after they mature. In fact, they do not loosen enough to permit the use of a seed pan in harvesting until three or four weeks after ripening. Combines" are rapidly displacing other methods of harvesting lespedexa seed,* the Extension worker said. The seed pan, long the principal means of harvest, is a metal pan attached to the cbtter bar of a mower. A number of different lespedeza harvesters are manufactnred or distributed in North Carolina. Most of them are essentally seqd pans with some kind at attachment to rake the stalks over the pan and beat out the seed. Korean and Kobe lespedeaa am sometimes mown, stacked and later threshed, but this has the serious fault of removing all roughage from the land. With * shortage of nitrogen fertiliser* resulting from tha war. Southern farmers more and more an toning to winter legumes, which not only return nitrogen to the soil bat also protect the land fro® winter winds and rains.

Most of this seed is produced on the West Coast when farmers this yew produced about 220,000,000 poundsenough to plant 7,000,000 acres. Already more than 6,500,000 pounds of seed have been shipped to North Carolina from the West Coast Hie upper left-hand photo shows Austrian winter paaa being harvested in Oregon.

Wheat Recommended ij For Part of Ho? Ratios Surplus wheat has been made available through the Commodity Credit Corporation for feeding livestock. Ellis V. Veetal, Extension swine specialist of N. C. State College, says wheat can be substituted for 30 to SO percent of the grain nation in feeding hogs. The Government wheat is being made available in North Carolina at 11.00 per bushel daring October. The shortage of com is saute In some sections of the State, and the CCC distribution of wheat for feed wiH help flarmern reach their meat-pro* auction goals in the Feod-for-Frtedom program. -?T- : -v&S "Gwmd wheat is about 10 parent better than shelled corn," said Vestal, "bat the cost of grinding usually increases its cost by 10 percent Corn can be fed on the ear or shelled, bat wheat should be ground because bogs do not chew it sufficiently when they are hungry " Vestal also explained that pigs ~ vfed wheat have more of k tenderey to go "aft feed" than do pigs fed corn 88 the only grain. On the other hand, hog* fed ground wheat and supplements gain 10 percent faster titan pigs fed corn and supplements. i. like coin,' wheat is deficient in vitamins A and D, as well As ample proteijkB and minerals. Therefore, wheat should be fed with a protein supplement, and minerals and green pasture. "If wheat and torn are about the same price," said the swine specialist, "a combination of theHwo (or wheat and barley), fed with a protein supplement, minerals and grass* pasture, will generally make fester and more economical gains thfcn when either ground wheat or shelled com are fed as the only grain." Cotton Aids In Rubber Shortage Memphis, Term.—'The research division of the Hercules Powder Goespany is developing processes which open extensive new fields to the' utilization of cotton in meeting certain phases of the rubber shortage, officials of the company have advised the National Cotton Council. Using cotton in the redaction of' ethyl cellulose, the company has discovered a material which will serve as a substitute for rubber in many uses, and as the base for many types of articles. Its product -is expected to .be called "ethyl rubber." I Such products will serve as garden hose, footwear, gloves, electrical tape, gaskets and washers seal tops for containers, water proof fabrics, hospital sheeting, and insuliation. In. many instances,; they will replace brass, copper or iron piping. Many types of containers and plastic parts of furniture and other household articles will be made of the new products. The Council points oat, however, that the "rubber from cotton" will not make adequate autom-bile tine or tabes it the present time or in its present fcjrm. But technical and chemical research probably,wHl not have to go much farther to adapt tiie material even to this argent requirement for robber. Th® process is relatively simple, with ethyl cellulose being produced (Continued from nn tt' .|j the levels prevailing' last March 1 in all the areas except one—Orlando, Pis.—where the maximum rent dote Is being1 moved back to October t, Um * * - lutalwiJ-Lii TTaml iMif. nn mcc Avmixiscrwor nenaeiwm anEff^tive*(>rt^er 15, ^ II H II ■■■■ M ... ■»■■■■ >./ ■!
