Leo Strickland Assistant County Agent Any fanner who plans to parti cipate in the 1958 Soil Bank Acre age Reserve must establish a soil bank base at the County ASC of fice. This should be done as soon as possible and must be done be fore you can put cotton and to bacco in the Acreage Reserve. The tobacco payment rate will be the same as it was for 1957. The cotton payment rate has not been established yet but it will probably be equal to or slightly a- bove the 1957 payments. If you have already placed your wheat in the 1958 Acreage Re serve, you have already establish ed your soil bank base. Since you have already received your cotton acreage allotment for next year, you are in a good posi tion to start planning your next year’s operations. In planning your soil bank par ticipation remember that, as far as anyone knows, the Soil Bank Acre age Reserve is a temporary pro gram.

There has never been a time jvhen farm ers needed to plan their opera tions on a long time basis as much as they need to now. Recent USDA information re leases indicate that livestock pros pects for the coming year are on the bright side for a change. There is a big surplus of feed grain now and the cheap feed will be a big help to livestock production. Beef cattle prospects are very encouraging. For the past year there has been a decline in num bers of cows. With the cheap feed supply, the demand for feeder calves will increase and prices should go up. There might be a slight drop in prices in early spring when all the fat steers are sold, but this should only be tem porary and the prices should be up for the year. Hog prices are not as promising over the long run. The fall pig crop was up only about 3%, so the price should continue to be good for the first half of the year. The spring pig crop is expected to be a large one and the prices may drop in the latter part of the year, when the big swine crop hits the market. With the large feed grain sup ply making cheap feed available, the ratio of both cows and hogs compared to feed cost seem to be favorable to farmers'for the next year. Guests Snacks Another encouraging note from the USDA in this recent release of information is that laying hen numbers in the U.S. is still de creasing. In view of the fact that Hoke County is increasing its lay ing hen enterprises at a very rapid rate, we find great satisfaction in this repart. Any farmer who is i f erested in getting in the laying hen business should first establish a market through a farmer’s coop, a private enterprise, or selected retail out lets. After the market for eggs has been established, plan the size of your flock to fit your market out lets. Please contact us if you are interested in laying hen produc tion. spoil. Hog killing should be done only when the weather man predicts the temperature will be in the low thirties. A good plan is to kill the hogs and chill the carcasses over night before cutting and curing is started. A meat saw is a very ne cessary and inexpensive item and it adds about as much convenience and time saving as any other piece of equipment.

Since such a large part of farm slaughtered meat was lost last year, the following facts should be helpful. Hogs weighing from 225 to 250 pounds are the best size for farm killing and curing. Cuts from smaller hogs than this often lack flavor and quality after storage and cuts from larger hogs often Three bulletins are available in this office that gives you excellent information on killing, cutting, curing and storing pork on the farm. If you have had trouble with your meat in the past, I sug gest you read these bulletins be fore your next hog killing. They are as follows: Extension Circular No. 262 entitled “Farm Pork Supply”, Extension Circular No. 405 entitled “Curing Hams CoUntry Style” and Extension Folder No. 134 entitled “Cutting, Carving, Cooking Country Style Hams.” Mrs. P.
