Livestock Farmers
Faced With Severe
Feed Shortage .
Many North Carolina livestock
farmers are currently faced with
a severe feed shortage and the
only thing left between them and
bankruptcy Is their dwindling
supply of hay and silage.
Cattlemen should begin this
week to make the necessary ad
justments in their feeding pro
grams in order to meet the emer
gency, according to Dr. E. T.
York, head of the department of
agronomy at N. C. State College.

The driest July on record In the
state has caused farmers to use
much of the stored feed, and pas
tures to dry up.
York and other agronomists and
members of the department of
animal industry at the college
surveyed the state-wide feed sit
uation last week and declared that
the poor condition of feed crops
creates a real emergency. York
said that the situation In some
areas is so critical that they could
easily be designated "disaster
areas."
In at least two counties, Yancey
and Madison, the drought has
done more damage than last sum
mer's prolonged dry period. So
far as large areas of the state are
concerned, the upper Piedmont is
suffering most. But in scattered,
smaller areas throughout the state
farmers face equally severe feed
crop shortages. York said.
A three-point program for e
mergency feed crops has been
outlined for Tar Heel farmers In
these areas, York said. The pro
gram Involves feeding, seeding and
fertilization.
Farmers should remove cattle
and other livestock from perm
anent pasture? where they are al
ready short. They can easily be
ruined by close grazing and the
amount of feed animals get from
them when in their present con
dition won't help much.
Any supplementary grazing
such as Kudsu, Sudan grass, mil
let, (Bermuda grass, lespedeza, or
alfalfa, should be used to stretch
inadequate pastures.
Farmers with hay or grass sil
age available should start feeding
these, but York warned that the
hay and silage should be replen
ished. Some farmers are already
cutting drought-parched corn that
will never mature. This can be fed
green or put up as silage for use
during the next few weeks.
Piedmont and Coastal Plain
farmers should seed Sudan grass,
millet, or soybeans this week if
these crops are to make suffici
ent growth to be worthwhile. The
agronomists recommend 10-15
pounds of tift or sweet Sudan
ed per acre, and fertilized with
grass in rows, or 30 pounds drill
400 pounds of 8-8-8. Nitrogen top
dressing should be applied as
needed.
Small grains, which will furn
ish emergency fall and winter
grazing, should be seeded with
crimson clover in the upper Pied'

mont and Mountains. Use two and
a half to three bushels of barley,
plus 15 pounds of crimson clover
per acre. Rye is good to plant In
sandy soils. Use one and a half
bushels of Abruzzi rye, or a 50
50 rye barley mixture, with 15
pounds of crimson clover per
acre.
Rye grass and barley should be
ready for grazing in six to eight
weeks after seeding. In the Coas
tal Plain small grains should be
seeded two or three weeks later
than recommended for the Pied
mont. If Ladino clover-tall fescue pas
tures are not completely gone,
some grazing may be obtained by
putting nitrogen on a portion of
the acreage. An application of 50
pounds of elemental nitrogen in
August and again in October is
recommended, but only if the La
dino is gone. If a fair stand of
clover is still present, it may
thrive. Nitrogen will retard its
recovery. If the Ladino is not
gone, use 400 to 500 pounds of
0-10-20, 0-9-27, or 0-14-14 to stim
ulate its growth.

FACTS ABOUT
PEDESTRIANS
The car was going "straight"
in 214 of the 248 pedestrian death
cases in North Carolina during
1952, a study by the State De
partment of Motor Vehicles re
veals. A directional analysis of last
year's fatal pedestrian accidents
shows that in four cases the ve
hicle was "backing" up and In
three cases the vehicle was "turn
ing left."
In the remaining cases, vehicles
were either turning right or the
movement was not stated.
