QUESTION: How long does it
take to pot beef cattle on full feed?
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

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.

It's Hands Across
The Nation For
Winter Legume Seed
* __
With a shortage of nitrogen dua
to war, North Carolina ffcrmen, as
well as those of the entire Sooth,
are taming more and more to winter
legumes as a means of storing
nitrogen in their aoQ, according to
the State AAA Committee, with
headquarters at State College. 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

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
