SUGGESTIONS
AREOUTLINED
Early Planted Small Grains
Have Advantage Over
Later Plantings
OTHER POINTERS GIVEN'
Here are timely suggestions
from State College specialists for
the month of October;
A. D. Stuart, seed specialist,
says early planted small grains
have a distinct advantage over
later plantings in the matter of
yield, a fact on which growers
should capitalize. If Jhe Wheat,
oatp, and barley sown are not re
sistant to smut, the seed should
be treated. Then, » too, all seed
planted should have germination
and purify tests.
Robert Schmidt, associate hor
ticulturist of the experiment sta
tion, reminds growers to harvest
their sweet potatoes before the
heavy frosts which come first
during the last days of October.
Careful harvesting will prevent

much bruising, which, in turn,
will reduce storage losses. The
potatoes should be graded in the
field, packed in crates or baskets,
and placed in storage with as lit
tle handling as possible. Farm
ers who are interested in better
seed could improve their own
stock by selecting seed potatoes
in the field at digging time.
Lloyd Weeks, extension tobac
co specialist, says tobacco grow
ers can make substantial savings
by taking apart their tobacco
flues and treating them with
waste motor oil. After receiving
a coat of oil, the. flues should be
placed on tier poles in the barn.
Such treatment will cause them
to last three to four times as
long.
John Arey, extension dairy
man, passes along a couple of
sugestions. First, he says, dairy
herds should be culled this
month. Medium to low producing
cows which' paid only a small
profit on pasture this past sum
mer will not pay when placed on
high-priced winter feed. Second,
he urges farmers to attend coun
ty and state dairy cattle shows
this fall. The show ring, he says,
is the place where breed type
standards are fixed. It is also a
splendid place for breeders to
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
compare their animals and to ad
vertise their surplus stock.
E. C. Blair, extension agrono
mist, adds a good word for win
ter cover crops. "Farmers who
have not seeded winter cover
crops and annual legumes, such
as Austrian winter peas and
hairy vetch, should do so by all
means this month," he says.
"Also, if you haven't already cut
your tobacco and cotton stalks,
get the job done as soon as pos
sible. Stalks standing through
the winter afford an ideal hiding
place for insect pests that will
attack your crop next year."
Paul Kime, experiment station
agronomist, advises growers to
keep their cotton picked out so
as to prevent weather damage in
the field. Planting seed should
be saved from cotton that has
had but little rain on it.
October is a busy month for
poultrymen because the old
poultry year overlaps the new,
says T. T. Brown, extension poul
tryman. Some of the things the
poultry grower should do now
are: Select next year's breeding
pen or mark the birds to be se
lected later; keep the hens and
the pullets separated; house the
pullets; make a gradual change
from a growing mash to a laying
mash; check for drafts in the
laying house; and don't over
crowd birds.
HEIFER STOLEN FROM
STATE ROAD FARMER
A calf, described as a Blue Jer
sey heifer about 18 months, was
reported as having been stolen
last Thursday night from the
barn of G. W. Wilcox, of State
Road.
It was said that the heifer was
locked in her stall Thursday ev
ening. Next morning she was
gone. No trace has been found
of the thief.

SIOOO
Almost any community can
raise SIOOO. And that amount
of money can make possible the
beginning of a small industry in
almost any rural center. Pew
people realize
that most of the pn
largest Indus
tries of '.nis na
tion had their
beginnings on
less than this
amount.
Taking indus
try to the woods"
can be accom- Kyes
plished only
through the foresight and deter
mination of persons living in ru
ral areas of the nation.
Small capital is no handicap if
a group of people have the will
to join together in a common ef
fort to have a little industry in
their community. The corner
stone of any successful business
is sinere and concentrated effort.
This element of success depends
entirely upon determination of
neighborhood groups.
There are three concrete ap
proaches to a small industry for
a rural community:
The first is that of processing
crops from the field either for
consumption or for further pro
ductive use in the manufacture
of finished articles. The canning
of vegetables and fruit for con
sumption is an example of the
former method. Processing of soy
beans is an illustration of both
types of by-products.
A second type of beginning is
marked by discovering what it
ems are used by the local com
munity as well as surrounding
areas. When such a survey has
been made, begin manufacture of
the product. An example of this
type of industrial beginning is
making of andirons and other
fireplace accessories for sale lo
cally and in nearby towns.
The third method is to make
parts for larger manufacturing
plants in small cities and metro
politan areas. The winding of ar
matures for electric motors would
fall under this category.
There are other obvious meth
ods of starting from a small be
ginning in an endeavor to secure
industry for your community.
But these three have been the
most universally successful.
Further, the added demand for
production facilities and labor, as
a result of the defense program,
make this an opportune time to
take immediate action.
There is no reason for delay in
getting a little industry started
in the rural community. No com
munity is forced to wait for some
outsider or an act of fortune to
act in its behalf. Neighborhoods
that pass up opportunities for
self betterment will remain in
the same economic condition
while the world moves onward.
Thus, the town lacking foresight
will eventually become the "ghost
town," symbollic of a community
without determination.
Those who want to help their
communities and themselves
should remember that there is a
large supply of labor available
locally though the capital is
small. Therefore, items chosen
for the manufacturing venture
should be those with a higher
percentage of labor cost (payroll
dollars) as compared to the over
head expenses of machinery.
Thus, more labor will be employ
ed, thereby balancing available
resources in such a way that
their combination will fit locfcil
and at the same time be
more effective for sound enduring
enterprise.
When such an industrial move
has been decided upon by a com
munity, the question of "who
shall head it" invariably arises.
There are men in every com
munity, no matter how small,
who can supply needed leadership
for such enterprises.
Look for the man who manages
his own affairs well or the young
man who shows promise. In that
individual will usually be found
natural ability to which experi
ence and knowledge can be added
as needed during progress of the
joint venture.
A little capital and a lot of
labor wisely managed will bring
undreamed of returns to any ru
ral community possessing the de
termination to have a small in
dustry of its own.
