FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED What is a good raticn to feed turkeys in preparing them for market? Answer; A semi-complete growing mash, which must be supplemented with scratch grain and green feed, may be mixed as follows: ground yellow corn, 30 pounds; wheat middlings, 15 pounds; alfalfa leaf meal, 7 pounds; wheat bran, 10 pounds; pulverized cats, 15 pounds; meat scrap (50 percent protein), 12 pounds; dried milk, 10 pounds; and salt, 1 pound. There are a number of substitutions that can be made when the price of any one ingredient gets out of line with other ingredients of the same feeding value. Question; Will farmers vote on quotas for their 1940 cotton crop this year? Answer: E. Y. Floyd, ‘AAA ex ecutive officer at State college, says a referendum on cotton mar keting quotas for the 1940 crop, similar to those which have been in efect for the past two years, will be held December 9. Two thirds of those voting will have to approve the quotas if they are to go into effect next year. Farm ers who plant within their acre age allotment will be able to market all of the cotton they pro duce on their allotted acreage without penalty. Question: Hew would you feed dairy cows during the winter? Answer; Successful winter feeding means imitating early sumer conditions as nearly as possible. The dairy cow is by nature a roughage-consuming animal and never does her best except when supplied an abund ance of roughage. In winter this roughage should be a legume hay and a succulent feed, such as sil age. The better the quality of this hay and succulent feed, the more of the required nutrients will be received from this source and the smaller the amount of grain that will be needed. o BIG INCREASE B. F. Byrd, Swain county farm er, reported t.'at 100 pounds of a 5-7-5 fertilizer applied cn .2 of an acre of potatoes increased his yield 250 percent over that on a check plot.

BEEF CATTLE After nine Hereford beef cattle were brought into Harnett coun ty three weeks ago for demon stration purposes, a large num ber of farmers have indicated a serious interest in beef cattle production. MORE GRAZING Where he applied triple sup ererphosphate to a 16-acre pasture at the rate of 100 pounds to the acre, Jason Spencer, of Ashe county, has secured one-fourth to one-half more grazing than for merly. o REDUCED The interest rate to farmers on all Commodity Credit Corpora tion loans will be reduced from four to three percent effective November 1,- reports the U.

In a letter to Premier Wlady slaw Sikorsky, the famous pian ist-patriot declared he joined in the “common and ardent de sire to serve out our glorious and unhappy country.” One of Gen. Sikorsky’s first acts were to write Paderew ski, who is living quietly at Lau sanne, Switzerland, asking him as the “most brilliant incarnation of the heart, spirit and civic con sciousness of millions cf Poles” to approve the new government. Paderewski, who is forbidden by the Swiss to take part in any political activities, sent the re ply to Paris by a special messen ger.

PERSON COUNTY TIME* ROXBORO. N. C. BETHEL BOOSTER OFF THE PRESS Newspaper-Magazine Is Ed ited By Carol Leigh Hum phries. Under the editorship of Miss Carol Leigh Humphries, the first number of the 1939-1940 “Bethel Booster”, the school newspaper, 1 appeared this week. Looking more like a magazine than a newspaper, the “Bcoster” has a good deal of Bethel Hill and Woodsdale news in it. The sheet is printed in green ink, shows evidence of careful proof reading and has an attrac tive hand drawn yelow cover. Members of the staff in addi It Will Save You Money To Shop In DURHAM, N. C.

The Square Thing to Do \X7'HEN railroads were the.only major form of ’ ’ transportation, regulating interstate commerce meant regulating the railroads and nothing else. But today, when railroads are only part of a transportation industry, there is before Congress a Carefully worked out legislative program designed to correct some of the existing inequalities in that industry. The general attitude of Congress has been con structive. So has the general attitude of railroad employes. One of the nation’s largest farm organi zations has gone on record in favor of these laws. The opposition has come largely from groups with special interests, who contend that the changes proposed would be unfair to other forms of transportation. Now let’s see about that: What is unfair about asking a whole industry to abide by the same rules? The railroads paid for the building of their own "superhighways” of steel—they pay out of their own pockets to maintain them—and they pay taxes on them. ticn to Miss Humphries, are; Lcis Holt and Wiloree Woody, as sistant editors; Francis Davis, Lit erary Editor; Nancy Merritt, as sistant Literary editor; Elsie Whitfield; business manager; Inez Gillis, assistant business manager; Wingate Rogers, sports editor; Lav. rcnce Moore, assistant sports cciitoi; Garnell Wilkins and Mar gc.et Munday, news editors; An ra Nelson, grammar grade editor; Imogene Ramsey, art editor; John Dunkley and John Honeycutt, pioduction editors; Rose Woody, community editor; Miss Charlot te Peebles, faculty sponsor. o APPLES The Federal Surplus Commod ities corporation has announced that because of a prospective lar- ] NORFOLK and WESTERN RAILWAY ge surplus, it will buy apples from growers for distribution a mong relief families. FOREST Three new national forests es tablished since September 6 bring the total number in the United States to 161, reports the U. S. Forest service. <J Wake Forest Governor Clyde R. Hoey, and Miss Isabella Hoey have accepted an invitation from Wake Forest’s Band Director, Professor Don Pfohl, to attend the Western Maryland - Wake Forest football game here next Saturday night, guests of the Deacon band. What other form of transportation does these three things? River barges and boats operate over channels provided for them with taxpayers’ money at a cost of from SIOO,OOO to a quarter of a million dollars per mile —several times what it costs a railroad to build an average mile of line. And these channels are maintained at an annual cost to taxpayers which far exceeds the cost to railroads of maintaining an average mile of rail road. Barges and boats pay nothing for the use of these channels. Commercial carriers on the highways do pay something toward the cost of the roads they use— but they use the same roads as 25,000,000 passenger cars whose owners pay most of the cost of building and maintaining the highways. This is not criticism but facts, which'have a definite bearing on competition the railroads have to meet. So we come back to this basic economic truth: t is not fair to ask part of an industry to work under rules which do npt apply to all parts alike.
