DAIRYMEN TOLD
HOW TO PREVENT
MILK FEVER ILLS
Disease Cause Loss Os
Many Good Cows Annually
Raleigh, September 12.—j Milk
fever annually cause the loss of
many good milk cows, especially
in the herds of small dairymen,
says John A. Arey, Extension
dairy specialist of N. C. State Col
lege. “Such losses are usually un
necessary,” he says, “because
milk fever can be prevented
easily by correct feeding and
management.”
Using the methods employed
in one large high-producing Hol
stein herd as an example, Mr.
Arey said that the following
ration should be used for cows
after they are dried off: Wheat
bran, 200 pounds; ground oats.
100 pounds; ground com, corn
meal or hominy, 100 pounds; lin
seed! meal, fOO pounds; and
steamed bone meal, 15 pounds.
“Mature cows should be fed
10 to 12 pounds of this grain mix
ture per day to within two weeks
of calving time,” the dairy speci
alist advised. “Then the following
ration is used for the last two
weeks, or to within one or two
days of calving: Wheat bran, 100
pounds; ground oats, 100 pound!;;
and linseed meal, 45 pounds. The
average amount of this ration fed
should be about 10 pounds daily.
Exceedingly large cows and
heavy producers may be fed as
much as 15 pounds.”
Continuing, Mr. Arey said “The
usual amount of roughage is fed
with these rations, but it has
been found desirable to discon
tinue the silage for the last week
or ten days, increasing the a
mount of hay fed to make up for
the reduction in silage. The aver
age roughage fed should consist
of 10 pounds of alfalfa cr other
good hay and 35 pounds of silage.
When the silage is discontinued,
the hay should be increased to
15 pounds.
“The last couple of days the
cows are given nothing but bran
mashes and hay, and the chill
is removed from the water they
drink. After they have calved,
under no conditions should all
the milk be taken from the ud
der for the first three days. Not
more than half of the milk shou
ld be withdrawn at any time.”

Day Program At High School
By MISS VELMA BEAM,
Home Demonstration Agent
I have never met a more hos
pitable group of people in all of
my experience” was the remark
made by Miss Pauline Gordon, 1
House Furnishings and Home
Management Specialist from State
college after having accompanied
the group on the Farm and Home i
Tour last week.
Miss Mamie Whisnant, assist
ant to Miss Gordon was also onj
the tour and her presence added
even greater interest for she has
been doing a great deal of work
with the major project leaders in
Home Demonstration club work
during the past two years.
A home beautification project
carried on by Mr. and Mrs. R. B.
Brooks of Helena showed pro
gress being made in beauty of
grounds.
The three kitchens visited, Mrs.
J. F. Timberlake’s, Mrs. Hugh
Moore’s and Mrs. Knox Moore’s
brought out many good points on
convenient kitchen arrangement,
inexpensive built-in equipment
and proper finishes for floors.
Two storage basements, one at
Mrs. Tim'berlake’s and one at
Mrs. F. T. Whitfield’s, showed
how easy it is to store an ade
quate food supply for the winter
and know that it is perfectly safe.
Mrs. Whitfield utilized a large
space on her basement stairs as
a storage place for large kitchen
equipment, space that would have
been wasted otherwise.
Out-of-the kitchen work and
storage space was shown effec
tively in the Whitfield’s wash!
house and smoke house both of
which are easily accessible to the
kitchen.

ing. This was true also of the
built-in cabinets in Mrs. Knox
. Moore’s kitchen. However, the
best use noted for the boiled lin
sed oil was for floors, and the
more it is used there, the harder
the pine becomes until eventual
ly they will be very much the
same quality as oak floors.
Several permanent pastures and
a well equipped barn were visit
ed and much interest was in evi
dence.
Following the tour a picnic
supper was spread in the grove
at Roxboro High school, and after
thq supper, those present went
into the high school auditorium
where an Achievement Day pro

PROVISION OF
NEW SEED ACT
ARE EXPLAINED
Seed Shipped In Interstate
Commerce Subject To In
spection
Raleigh, September 12.—De
clarations as to the variety of
seed shipped in interstate com
merce are subject to inspection
by Federal inspection under the
new Federial Seed' Act,A. D
Stuart, State College seed speci
alist, cautions.
The regulations under the act
provide for the issuance by
growers cf declarations as to
variety for seed which cannot be
distinguished from other variet
ies by seed characteristics. It is
usually possible for seed dealers
to sell seed, labeled as to vari
ety, for a higher price than seed
of which the variety is unknown,
Stuart says.
“Seedsmen, in purchasing sup
plies for the coming year, will
no doubt request farmers to sign
declarations of variety,” the S+ate
College specialist continued. “A!
farmer should feel free to sign a
grower’s declaration, if he know?
the variety of the seed. Since the
declarations are subject to in
spection, along with other recor
ds, under the Federal Seed Act.
the grower is advised to retain
any records or other evidence on
which he relied in making the de
claration. If the grower does not
know definitely the variety of the
seed, he should not sign a decla
ration.”

Stuart also called attention to
the new regulations which will |
hereafter prohibit the use of the
term “Affidavit Grimm alfalfa”
wUth which many farmers are
familiar. “The new Federal Actj
will not allow the use of this
name in full because the word (
'auadavit/ is not part of the name
of the seed which the law re-'
quires should be given,” he ex- 1
plained. “From n. -.v or. the word;
'Grimm Alfalfa’ will appear on!
bags of seed of this variety.” [
In conclusion, the specialist]
said that the new law is expected !
to protect farmers against key
ing inferior seed, and by knowingj
the variety of the seed, they will]
receive more money for them.
