Baker To Appear On Program During Farm And Home Week: One of the Nation’s foremos authorities on farm life and rur ai population, Dr. O. E. Baker .rtf the U. S. Department of Agri culture, will be one of the chie: speakers at Farm and. Hom< Week at State College, Augus 1-5. He will appear on the join < program for men and worrier Wednesday and Thursday morn- . ing, said John W. Goodman, as sistant director of the State Col- j lege extension service and secre- 1 tary of the convention. “To Rescue for Human Socie ty the Natives of Rural Life,” will be the subject of Dr. Baker’s j address Wednesday, and the next day he will discuss, “The Drive of Farm Youth and Wealth to the Cities.” One of the great drains on farm wealth, he has! found, is caused by rural people moving to town and cities. Trade Agreements At the joint session Tuesday morning, Lynn Ramsay Edmins ter, of the Department of State, will discuss trade agreements with other countries so as to facilitate imports of commodities this county needs to increase United States exports of surplus agricultural and industrial pro ducts. “Other countries cannot buy more from us unless we buy more from them,” Goodman ex plained, “and the trade agree ments that Mr. Edminster will discuss are of vital importance to Southern agriculture.” Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the extension service, has an nounced that, at the request of men and women who attended Farm and Home week last year, the evening programs must be kept free from speech-making and reserved for band music, group singing, and othei* recrea tion and entertainment. An exception is being made for Thursday evening, however, at which time Gov. and Mrs. I Clyde R. Hoey will address a j joint assembly of men and . ‘ women in Riddick Stadium, I weather permitting. o Family Cows Should Receive , Balanced Diet Dairy Specialist Says She De [ serves Best Os Feed And Care. i f The old family cow has taken f a lot of abuse in her time and J kept on producing milk for her | master, but she can do a much J better job when she gets enough , of the right thing to eat. A good cow not only cuts down 3 on the household food bill, but 1 she contributes much to the . health and general well-being of the family, said John A. Arey, extension dairy specialist at State College. She deserves the best of feed and care. A cow has a huge stomach and . a tremendous capacity for con verting feed into milk. On full feed, she will use about half the nutrients in her feed to main tain Her own bodytweighf. The rest she converts into milk and butterfat. When Rations Cat When her rations are cut it down, her milk production falls ■- off, she loses weight, and she r, goes drier sooner than normal i- A cow will often give milk when if she really needs to use the full e amount of a scant feed supply to it supply her own body. In the course of a year, an it average - size farm cow needs n 18 bushels of com, 13 bushels of PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. & oats, 600 pounds of cottonseed meal, two tons of hay, and one to two acres of good pasture. The hay should be of good quali ty, and the pasturage should be a good growth of grasses or le gumes. Winter pastures of rye and crimson clover or of wheat, barley, oats and crimson clover are good for supplementing the dry feed. Three or more different feeds, say 500 pounds of corn meal, 300 pounds of cottonseed meal, and 200 pounds of ground oats or wheat bran will make a good grain ration. Give a cow all the roughage she will eat and allow three quarts of grain per day for each gallon of milk she gives. o DIAL 4501 FOR NEWSPAPER SERVICE <^ s ~~.

Plant diseases are a constant threat to home and commercial flower gardepers, but most of them can be avoided or control led, said Dr. Luther Shaw, ex tension phuft pathologist Wt State College. In roses, for example, the most common diseases are black spot, powdery mildew, brown canker, stem canker, cane blight, an thracnose, and cane gall. To raise disease-free roses, gardeners (need to observe systematic di sease control measures. One of the first steps is to get good foundation stock. Before purchasing plants or cuttings, examine the canes to see wheth er they are infected with any of the common canker diseases. Also look for signs of other di seases, and buy only from re liable persons. Pruning Once canker has broken out on a rose plant, it cannot be cured. The diseased stem can be pruned off the plant, but this does not always give satisfactory control. The leaf diseases such as black spot can often be controll ed by spraying with a 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture or dusting sulphur. A new copper fungicide known as cuprocide 54 has been placed on the market for controlling leaf spot diseases of roses. This material is inexpensive and con venient to use. It is difficult to outline a spraying schedule for roses, as weather conditions each year must be taken into consideration. ’ ‘ 7 „ fWprs and me- J ' H ' Hardy - of Surry County, The aim is to keep the foliage seeses m finds that com on land that was c.taj with fungicide, «d dur. thed,J tor con otag D ' te » "»■ suta <,|led Wo ye.„ „ so y „ ing rainy seasons more frequent be obtain College' Raleigh, least one - third than his applications are necessary.
