FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED QUESTION: When should the laying flock be culled? ANSWER: Since efficient production comes through continuous selection j some culling may be needed each: month in the year, but the most rigid culling should be made toward the end of the laying period. This usually occurs from July to No vember and the flock should be watched carefully during July and August for early molters. Hens that molt in June, or August should be taken from the flock and disposed of as soon as molt appears or pro duction ceases. * * • QUESTION: How long does it take to properly cure a barn of to bacco ANSWER: The time required varies from 34 to 96 hours depending upon the rapidity of the various pro cesses. After hanging the , weed maintain a temperature about ten degrees higher than the outside temperature until the leaf is fairly yellow. The heat is then raised 4 to 5 degrees an hour until a tem perature of 120 to 125 degrees is reached. This temperature is held until the tips of the leaves are dry and then raised to 140 degrees. This will dry out the entire leaf. The temperature is again raised to 180 to 190 degrees and held until all parts of the leaf stem is dry in all parts of the barn. * ♦ * QUESTION: Should a dairy cow be given a grain ration during the dry period? ANSWER: If there is plenty of gpod pasture available and the an imal is in good flesh no other feed wil be necessary, but the animal should have free access to a good mineral mixture unless the grazing is legume crops or h'ay is being fed. If the pasture is short or the cow in poor flesh enough concentrate should be fed to put the animal in good flesh before freshening. How ever, all high protein grains and ccrn is usually removed from the grain ration about two weeks be fore freshening. A good grain mix ture to feed during this period is composed of equal parts of wheat bean and ground oats. Yancey County’s cherry crop is the largest in years, reports G. W. Smith, farm agent. Housewives are canning the surplus crop. Tobacco in Forsyth County is making some improvement after flea beetle attacks, (but still pre sents a ragged appearance. The new agricultural building at Graham has just been occupied by extension workers in Alamance County, says W. H. Kimrey, assist ant farm agent. A marketing center for shipping hogs from Washington and Tyr rell counties will be established soon. Farmers of New Hanover County are busy planting soybeans and field peas on land given to truck crops earlier in the year. Practical ly all of these crops will be turned under as green manure.

North Carolina farmers and farm \ women. < Along the lectures and demon- < stratiorts will be plenty of enter- t tainment to provide a good time j for all, said John W. Goodman, as sistant director of the State College i extension service. \ On the more serious side of the ( program, special attention will be ( given the soil conservation program, t dairying and livestock, farm fores- j try problems, farm tenancy, farm organizations and cooperatives, farm 1 finance, poultry iVtoduction, and i other timely subjects. The short course for women will j cover numerous phases of home- . making on the farm, and certificates j will be awarded to those who will ‘ have completed their fourth conse cutive short course. Rural ministers of the State have c been invited to meet at the college ? during the week. Special programs 1 have been arranged for them, and < they will also be invited to attend general meetings for the farm men and women. Among the speakers for Farm . and Home Week are: L. j Brown, assistant secretary of Agri culture; Congressman Harold D. 4 B0 1 : ’ HARRIS & BURNS Roxboro, N- C.

CONSUMPTION LAGGING Washington, July 17.—The com bined 1937 acreage of flue-cured to bacco in China, Manchuria and the Japanese empire is estimated by the Shanghai office of the bureau of ag ricultural economics at 245,000 a cres, compared with a 1936 harvest ed area of 211,0<J0 acres and with the 1931-35 average of 144,000 acres annually. Should growing conditions result! in near average yields, the 1937 crop [ will amount to approximately 300,- 000,000 pounds, compared with .243,- 000,000 pounds last year, and with the 1931-35 average of 180,000,000 pounds. Increased plantings of flue-cured leaf this season were largely the result of high prices paid for the Cooley; Gov. Clyde R. Hoey; J. B.

Encouragement and assistance on the part of gov ernmental and private agencies, however, also were factors of con siderable importance. Should the 1937 crop in these three areas reach the 300,000,000 pounds now estimated, the 1937-38 (October-September) import re quirements of American flue-cured leaf would probably be materially below the 1936-37 imports, which are now expected to total approxi mately 65,000,000 pounds. Total consumption of flue-cured leaf in China, Japan and Manchu ria during the curaent (1936-37) season will amount, on a redried basis, to approxibately 300,000,000 pounds compared with 267,000,000 pounds in 1935-36 and with the av erage of 236,000,000 pounds annual ly for the five years ended with 1034-35. Only a moderate increase in consumption is expected in 1937- 38, the total reaching perhaps 310,- 000,000 pounds of redried leaf and stems. Carryover stocks of flue-cured leaf in these three countries at the end of the current marketing year (September 30) are not expected to exceed 151,000,000 pounds compar ed with 165,000,000 pounds on Sep tember 30, 1936, and with the pre ceding five year average of approxi mately 180,000,000 pounds. The re port pojnts out, however, that dur ing those years consumption was materially lowgr than during the past two years. Lower prices for American flue cured leaf during 1937 might be an incentive for manufacturers to in crease their purchases of American leaf. Purchases of American leaf will tend to be restricted, howev er, by increased cigarette produc tion costs and particularly increased cigarette taxes in China, which is the largest producer, consumer and importer of the three countries un der consideration. GRASSES OR LEGUMES MAKE GOOD ENSILAGE With molasses as a preservative, any green crop that will make hay can be stored in a silo without any appreciable loss of feed value. Corn silage contains substances that act as a preservative, but leg umes and grasses do not have enough sugar to ferment properly, said A. C. Kimrey, extension dairy specialist at State College. By adding molasses to legumes and grasses, the material can be kept in good condition, he pointed out. The crop can be cut at any stage of maturity and in any kind of weather, he pointed out. However, greater feeding value is obtained if the crop is cut early in the season as possible without injuring the stand. Cereal crops should be cut when the grain is in the milk The City of Roxboro Is Very Fortunate Roxboro, in addition to being one of the most pro gressive cities in the state, has been very fortunate in having six very capable doctors to serve the public. Tou can call on any of these physicians and they will give you excellent medical service. We List These As Follows: DR. H. M. BEAM DR. B. A. THAXTON DR. B. E. LOVE DR. A. F. NICHOLS DR. G. W. GENTRY DR. R. A. BRYCE In addition to the above men we now have a new doc tor, Dr. E. M. Hedgepeth, who comes to us with an ex cellent reputation. It is with pleasure that we welcome this new' physician to our totvn. Thomas &• Oakley DRUGGISTS PHONE 63 THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1937 stage. Start cutting early in the morn ing. If the crop is wet with dew or ruin, so much the better. The crop should be put in the silo within a few’ hours after cuttifig. If the crop must remain in the field more than a few hours on a dry day, water should be added as it is blown into the silo, as plenty of moisture is necessary to prevent heating and fermentation. Around 40 to 45 pounds of molass es should be added to each ton of cereal and grass wjiile 75 to 80 pounds should be added to a ton-of legume silage. The molasses can-be added from an elevated barrel by allowing the proper amount to flow through a spigot on to the green material as it is fed into the cutter. If more molasses is used, it will increase the cost, but will not harm the silage, Kimrey added.
