NEQRO FARM NOTES a - By C. A. Jordan Add Minerals To .. j The Swine's Ration A large number of Jones Coun ty farmers are failing to realize the importance of minerals in the swine’s ration. It is impossible to get the pig to utilize its car bohydrates and protein foods most efficiently without the use of the necessary minerals, and in the proper amount. It has been noted from chem ical composition that from 3 to 6 per cent of the animal’s body is composed of mineral matter. The skeleton, the protein tissue, the blood, and the body fluids all contain a certain amount of mineral matter. However, we find that the elements most like ly to be lacking in your grasses and other feeds, and the ele ments upon which most of your profit from the swine enterprise depends are these: l — Manganese, for healthy growth; 2—Iron, for red blood; 3— Copper, for mineral balance; 4— Cobalt, for mineral deficiency; 5— Sodium, for good appetite; 6— Chlorine, for good digestion; 7— Calcium, for sound teeth and bones; 8—Phosphorus, for fast growth; 9 — Magnesium, for nerves and bones. The following minejal mixture has gained much recognition in many of our swine producing areas: - ' Fine ground limestone or wood ashes, 10 lbs.; steamed bonemeal, 5 lbs.; salt, 2 lbs. The percentage death loss for the 1948 turkey crop was unus ually small, biing by far the smallest on record.. CORN OUTLOOK TOR JONES COUNTY LESS THAN FOR LAST YEAR County Agent A. V. Thomas said this week, “I’m afraid that Jones County’s not going to be much help in the' corn war against Virginia.” The trouble, so the county agent says, stems from the ragged stands that are seen in corn fields over every part of the county. Last year Jones County boost ed its per acre corn yield to more than 31 bushels. “I’m afraid that we’re going to have a drop from that all-time high production,” Thomas admits. “We have some fellows with com projects, who’re shooting at records with the hybrids, and they have pretty corn, but as a whole the crop is a lot more rag ged than it was last year,” Thom as says. The fact that there is a higher percentage of corn planted in hybrids may make the county agent’s pessimism uncalled for, since with less stand it is possible to grow more com with the high producing hybrids. Trentonian Note George E. Monk, of Freder icksburg, Va., has joined the New Holland Machine Company, farm machinery subsidiary of The Sperry Corporation, m a sales representative. A native of Trenton, he attended schoob in Goldsboro, and Mt St. Mary’s College. He was formerly em ployed by toe Reynolds Tobacco Company, of Winston-Salem. Monk represents New Holland in the District of Columbia and Northeastern Virginia.
