LESS ROW CROPS
WHEN LABOR SHORT
North Carolina farmers
; who have planted a greiat-j
er acreage to small grains, |
alfalfa, and other legume 1
and sod crops this fall say •
tha'i this is the answer to;
farm labor shortage.
There is a definite trend
I towards the growing of
those crops which may be
! planted, cultivated and har
vested with machinery and.
[even the men who own
! small farms are rearrang
ing their management plans
to meet the emergency. j
An example of this can 1
be seen in the case of V.l
S. Simpson of Monroe, Rt.l
3, who has planted a larger!
than usual acreage to bar
ley, wheat and oats this
fall. He intends for this
grain to replace his need
jfor corn.
T. J. W. Broom, county
i agent in Union county for
1 the State College Extension
: Service, says Mr. Simpson
1 has 400 Barred Rock and
UOO Hampshire Red hens.
These along with a few
'head of beef cattle and
'some dairy cows make it
' necessary for him to grow
a good supply of grain and.
hay. |
As a result, the farmer
had only one acre in cotton
this past season and only
six acres in corn. But with
his disk plow, his combine
and his tractor, he is grow
ing much more small grain.
Last June he harvested 700
bushels of barley in two
days and has an excellent
crop of lespedeza for. hayj
and seed on the same land, j’
Poultry Is the most profi-i
table enterprise on the!
Simpson, farm considering
the labor involved and the j
dairy cow is second. For !
that reason, the production
of feed for these two is be
coming the major effort as
it is on hundreds of other
farms in that part of the
State, Mr. Broom said.
