DAIRY HERD IMPROV ED THROUGH D.H.IJV. WORK ■- ■ \ “The proof is in the milk, butterfat, and feed cost,” paraphrased John, A. Arey, Extension dairy specialist of N. C. State College, in citiftg an example of the economic value of proper care and good feeding of the dairy herd. He illus trated with records of im provement made by the Caswell Training School Holstein herd at Kinston since it started Dairy Herd Improvement Association work in 1935. “This herd,” Arey declar ed, “has nearly doubled its milk production and butter fat records, and at the same 1 Qi_. time has reduced its feed cost per 109 pounds of milk by 62 cents. * During the five -years that the Caswell Training School herd has been on test, there has been little change in its make up; There were 44 cows in the herd in 1935; there are 47 cows now. “The cows that have been culled out were replaced by heifers grown on ‘ the farm. Although good bulls have been used, most of the increase in production should be credited to bet ter care and feed rather than to the introduction of better cows.” —...- - • + Four-H- Club boys of Sampson County are being taught to make such use ful articles as anvils, ter racing drags, tables, filing boxes, book cases, book ends, workshop benches, and tool cabinets. .

B. Williams, head of the State College Agronomy Department, ad vises North Carolina far mers. He urges commer cial grtfwers to increase yields per acre this year in, view of the demand for this crop and its products due to the war situation in Europe and the Orient. Recommending the yel low-seeded varieties, which are ip greatest demand by oil millers, Prof. Williams said that Herman, Tokyo, " Wood’s Yellow and Haber landt are adapted to the Coastal Plain; Herman, Wood’s Yellow, Clemson, Haberlandt are best for the Piedmont; and Herman and Haberlandt are adapter to the Moun tain area. “The land selected for soybeans should be , of at least average productivi ty,” the agronomist declar ed. ~ “It should be well drained and, + in proper shape for planting on or about May 1. Although soybeans belong to the le gume family, they require moderate amounts of a pro perly-selected fertilizer. “Ordinarily,” Prof. Will iams continued, “little or na nitrogen is needed in the fertilizer mixture if the soil is in a fairly good state of productivity. How ever, if the soil is poor to medium in fertility, about 2 percent nitrogen should be included in the mix tures.” The fertilizer recommen dations of the College Ag ronomy Department for ; soybeans are; Coastal Plain, 200 to 300 pounds of : a 0-8-4 or a 0-8 _ 6 on fairly | productive soils, and 250 to , 300 pounds of a 2-8-4 or 200 [ pounds of a 3-12-&. on poor . to medium soils;*Piedmont i and Mountains, 200 to 300 pounds of a 210-4 o r r 2-10-6 op fairly productive soils, and 250 to 300 pounds of a 2-10-5 or 200 pounds of a 2-15-6 on poor to. ‘ medium soils. ’ . . » , Because of cold weather, | tobacco plants in Cra'ven co | unty are about three weeks , late, reports Paul M.

These articles,. written by James Hutchins, are published in order that the readers • of-this paper may‘more easily y identify our native birds. It is— suggested that the school children b keep each article, and throughout "v the coming months give some time and thought to this interesting study.) • I- “Its beauty of form and plpmage and its graceful motions place this dainty bird at’the head of our list of Wood Warblers. The bird appears to be the incarna tion of animated motion and fairly dances its way through the forest.” Its average length is five" and one-half inches. The crown, neck, and breast of the male are black; the wings are black and salmon (a shade of orange); the tail is black and salmon; the sides of the breast and the flanks are, reddish. The female is of a dull yellow where the mate is salmon or red; the crown and neck are grayish; the back is' ashy with a greenish tinge. The Redstart is a very valuable bird. It devours great numbers of leaf-hop pers, caterpillars, and many other insects that are in jururious to hedges, orch ards, and forest trees. We should see this bird during the late spring and throughout the suihmer in Yancey county.—(James Hutchins). i. jp jj B. B. Penland & Son Lumber Company Burnsville, N.
