QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
Question: How much grain
should I feed my dairy animals
each day?
Answer: This depends upon the
individual animal and the amount
of milk normally produced. For
Jersey cows the grain feed is a
bout six-tenths of a pound for
each pound of milk above ten
pounds. Guernseys take about
.55 of a pound of grain for each
pound of milk above 12, and Ayr
shires and Holsteins should re
ceive about .45 of a pound of
grain for each pound of milk
above 14. If each cow, however
is studied as an individual it is
easy to determine the exact a
mount of grain for most profit
able production.
Question: What is the best?
way to inoculate soils for legum
es?
Answer: Soils may be inoculat
ed with a pure culture secured
from the local seed dealer or
with other soils that are already
inoculated. Where a field has al
ready been inoculated by grow
ing some legume this soil may
be used with from 20 to 50 bush
els broadcast or drilled in on the
acre. This soil should be disked
in immediately. If pure culture
is used, this should be prepared
as directed on the container and
the seed planted as soon as pos
sible after treating.
Question: Is it profitable to
carry old hens over as breeders
in the poultry flock?
Answer: Many successful
breeders keep on arv average from
thirty to sixty percent of the old
hens from year to year. Select
old hens usually are superior to
medium pullets, and from a
breeding standpoint are very
desirable to have in the flock.
Under no conditions should hens
with short, shallow, and narrow
bodies be kept in the flock as
such birds have poor laying ca
pacity. It is best, however, not
to keep old hens more than three
years at the most and many farm
flock owners follow the practice
of not keeping them for more
than two laying years.

N. C. Farm Lands
Farmers In Bertie County
Secure 150,000 Pounds
Cover Crop Seed
The greatest single item in the
program to clothe North Caro
lina farm lands with a cover of
green this winter, was the pro
curing last week of 105,000 lbs.
of vetch and Austrian winter
pea seed by 400 farmers of Ber
tie County.
The seed were secured in co
operation with the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration,
whose officials allowed the farm
ers to buy the seed at cost with
payment to be made by dedu
ction from the soil conservation
checks due the growers for 1938
participation in the crop pro
gram. Four eastern Carolina
counties were selected by Ex
tension and Triple-A officers at
State College. Three of these
counties, Hertford, Pender and
Duplin, each ordered 28,000 lbs.
of vetch and 12,000 pounds of
Austrian peas.
In Bertie County, however,
farm agent B. E. Grant put on a
special educational campaign to
promote the use of winter le
gumes in soil improvement, and,
as a result, orders were received
for 88,000 pounds of vetch and
62,000 pounds of pea seed. The
shipment arrived in three solid
cars on October 1 and a special
occasion was made of delivering
the seed on Monday, October 3.
Farmers came in autos, trucks,
