Bayskle (Continued from page one) ernment records look like an ABC book. The records show how much but . ter fat milk from each cow con tains, the amount of feed the cow eats, and the exact cost can be de termined on how much the animal costs to keep. Each month a herd tester comes to the farm to review the records. Mrs. Blair was the only woman in a short course on dairying taught recently at State college. Hanging on the vfall in the Bayside farms office (a small pine-paneled build ing located near the barns) is a picture of the class. Other frames contain pictures of Bayside Holstein prize winners and their blue ribbons. A large "lounging" type barn, 100 by 36 feet, houses the cattle in bad weather and is used for hay storage. Glass windows allow light to shine inside and the barn can be opened to take advantage of the sun and kindly breezes, no matter from which way the good weather may be coming. Another nearby barn serves as maternity ward and sick bay. Should a cow outgrow or lose her ability to produce milk, she's shipped off to a slaughter house, because she becomes a liability in stead of an asset. ' Willing Manages Herd Willing, the manager, was reared on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and came to Bayside in September. He majored in agriculture in high school. In the evening, he goes to the pasture fence, calls the cows, and they readily start toward the barn, go into the yard behind the milking parlor and up the ramp to be milked. In the cooling room the milk is chilled by running water and stored in a cooler preparatory to taking it to the dairy. Bayside recently was granted the prefix "Bayline" for all cattle bred and born there. Their first, since receiving this designation from the Holstein-Friesian Asso ciation of America is "Miss Bay line," a calf born just a week be fore Christmas.

Phone 6-4151 MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORP. Congress to Decide Whether Training Continues After 1954, The trainihg program under which veterans are educated in farming methods at Newport school will end in 1954 unless a bill is passed by Congress making Korean veterans eligible. A bill has al ready beeti enacted giving wounded Korean veterans privilege of en rolling in such training programs, according to C. S. Long, instructor. Of the scores of enrollees which have been in the Newport class since 1946, twenty-five stayed for the entire period to which they were entitled by service in the armed forces. Of those, 12 own their own farms, five are renting farms, and three own farms but work at other jobs parttime. Only five who completed their training are now in work other than agriculture. ? The trainees meet twice a week the year around, working in the shop five months of the year, Octo ber through February. The shop instructor is Walter Roberts atid Floyd Garner is the general farm ing field instructor who makes reg ular visits to the students' farms to help with problems, offer sug gestion for solution, and see how well the student is carrying out the knowledge he gleans in the class room. Few textbooks are used. Most of the information is obtained from bulletins from the extension serv ice and other farm publications which are meticulously catalogued and kept on file by Mr. Long. In the library, a small room where the bulletins are kept, are also stored a 16 mm sound motion picture projector, an opaque pro jector, wire recorder, film strips, and slide projector, all of which are used in the farm training work. In the shop are lathes, saws, all types of tools necessary for wood and metal working, an oxy-acety lene welding outfit, and outdoors a forge room where the men can work in iron or heavy metal parts, a skill frequently necessary for re pairing farm machinery.

For the first time, a national hog sale will be held in North' Carolina next ffril. The National Tamworth Show and Sale will be held in Winston Salem Oet. 3-4, with the State Tamworth Breeders association as the host group, according to Jack Kelley, in charge of animal hus bandry work for the State College Extension service. Kelley says the dates were set Davis lidge Yields I Disease-Free Sweets Toward the end of May last yetr a field on Davis Ridge was planted in disease-free sweet potato plants shipped to North Carolina from California. The purpose was to test a theory of plant pathologists that the internal cork disease in sweet potatoes is transported from one in fested field to another by an insect. R. M. Williams, county farm agent, reports that these potatoes were dug in the fall and the pathol ogists were extremely well pleased with the quality of the potato and yield. The potatoes were taken to the state experiment stations to be used in efforts to develop varieties resistant to the internal cork dis ease. Planting of the sweet potatoes on Davis Ridge was made possible through the cooperation of Mr. and Mrs. Don Nierling and Mrs. E. B. Thorson, owners of the land. In charge of the experiment was Dr. L. W. Nielson, associate plant pathologist, State colJege. Two other test plats were also planted on islands near Onslow and Pamlico counties. Williams said that he has no report on the success of the experiments there. and plans made for the event at a recent meeting of the state asso ciation in Winston-Salem. R. H. Waltz, secretary of the American Tamworth Swine Record associa tion, Hagerstown, Ind., was present to help formulate the plans. Chemicals Kill Cornfield Weeds Cocklebur, morning glory, and other troublesome weeds in corn can be controlled with chemicals, says Glenn C. Klingman, weed con trol scientist with the North Caro lina Experiment station, t Chemical weed control, aays I Klingman, is both easy and econo mical. For example, the cost of treating corn with 2, 4-D after it is 10 to 12 inches tall is less than $1 per acre. "The 2, D-4 material," he adds, "wHl control both cocklebur and morning glory and, if properly used, it woni damage the corn." Klingman explains that when weeds are removed chemically, all the available moisture, soil nutri ents ,and light are made available to the corn. In many tests the ex tra yield of corn on fields treated with 2, D-D is worth more than 10 times the cost of the treatment. "There's no point in buying good seed corn, providing abundant soil fertility, and doing all the neces sary work to grow good corn ? only to have weeds take over the field and reduce your yield," says the experiment station scientist. For more complete information on the use of 2, 4-D in corn, see your county agent or write Kling man in care of the North Carolina Experiment station, Raleigh, and ask for mimeographed sheet on "Cheqiical Weed Control in Corn."
