It is a legume especially •well adapted to the sandhills sec- ■ lions. But crotalaria is poisonous to, cows and other livestock, warns' Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veterinarian of N. C. State College. “Crotal aria spectabilis is an excellent legume, but its leaves, stems, and seeds are toxic to all livestock and a small quantity of these can kill an animal,” Dr Grinnells declared. Use this plant for cov er or for building the soil, but don’t let your stock get to it, he advises. Crotalaria is not palatable to livestock except when in the blossom stage, and ordinarily is not eaten unless other grazing is scarce, the State College author ity continued. It is very much in blossom in several sections of the State at the present time. “All cases of crotalaria poison ing do not develop in the same length of time,” Dr. Grinnells de clared. “According to scientists of the Florida Agricultural Ex periment Station, where extension work on the poisonous effects of the plant has been done, cases may develop from the second to the sixth month after the animal has eaten the plant.” The veterinarian says that the outstanding symptoms of crota laria poisoning are: Loss of appe tite, weakness and an unsteady gait, a depressed attitude on the part of the animal, diarrhea, and bloody nasal discharge. “We are not trying to discour age the growing of crotalaria in certain sections of the State, but lespedeza usually makes a much better legume and is perfectly safe as a feed for all types of live stock,” the veterinarian conclud ed. o Exports of nearly all • United States farm products, except cot ton, were greatly reduced dur ing the first twelve months of the current European war, reports the U.

Cotton Mattress Program Still Being Expanded Miss Ruth Current, State home demonstration agent, announces that the cotton mattress-making program for low income farm families has been continued and expanded by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Provision has bee made so that more than one mattress may be obtained by a family, and the maximum in come limits have been raised. | “Under the 1940-41 program,”] Miss Current said, One mattress, can be distributed for every two members of a family, up to three j mattresses, except that any mat-: tress previously received shall be deductible. “The new regulations provide that any family, regardless of its place of residence, is eligible for material provided at least one half of the total income is deriv ed from agricultural occupations and its total income last year did not exceed S6OO plus SSO for each member of the family over four persons. Also, any family, regard less of its source of income, is eligible for material provided it lives in the country and its total' income did not exceed SSOO plus SSO for each member of the fam ily over four persons.” Miss Current says that county farm and home agents will con tinue to take applications for material, which will be supplied as in the past by the Surplus Marketing Administration. The Triple-A committees will certify applications. Miss Current and John W. Goodman, assistant di rector of the State College Ex tension Service, are co-directors of the program in North Carolina. “With these new liberal reg ulations, we hope to place from 175,000 to 200,000 mattresses with about 100,000 low income families in North Carolina,” Miss Cur rent declared. o Hillside Test { Shows Value Os Cover Crop i Winter is approaching and that means the loss of soil on farms where the land is not protected with a cover crop. To prove to farmers the value of a winter cover in soil and water conserva tion, a number of county farm agents of the State College Ex tension Service are cooperating with other agencies in conduct ing hillside tests to accurately measure the loss of soil and plant food as a result of erosion. One such test is being conduct ed in Franklin County, on the farm of H. F. Fuller of Louisburg. Route 1. A recent Farm Tour, held cooperatively by the Exten sion Service, Soil Conservation Service, Farm Security Admini stration and other agencies, show ed the following results, accord ing to Farm Agent W. C. Boyce: 1 In two plots where cotton and com have been grown continu-l cusly since 1937, with no winter cover crop, the silt boxes at the bottom of teh hill collected 44 tons of soil per acre per year. In an other plot, where lespedeza has been grown continuously, no soil was lost during the same period. In two other plots, where Corn and cotton have been grown, and crimson clover used as a winter crop, the annual,loss of soil per acre from the 7 percent slope was 38 tons. But where a four-year rotation of cotton, corn and bar ley was planted, with lespedeza, crimson clover and barley as win ter cover crops, the annual loss of soil per acre was only 7 tons. Boyce also reported that in 1939 the "corn yielded 31 bushels per acre on the plot where corn has been grown continuously, 51 bushels per acre where it was — PARDON ME/ jj '■ji x S 5 *vr y - ' Ist SALE MONDAY November 4th FRIDAY November Bth Our house continues to maintain a good average and we are doing all within our power to get top prices.

There’s Winter Work In Plenty To Be Done • Plan now for your next year’s garden, and prepare for planting early vegetable plants in Febu ary and March, advises H. R. Nis wonger and L. P. Watson, horti culturist of the N. C. State Col lege Extension service. They point out that November, December and January are not re garded generally as important for garden and orchard work, but there are many necessary things that can be done to best advant age during the winter months The home garden and orchard do not demand a great amount of time, but they do require system atic planning. The Extension specialists make the following suggestions: Broad cast manure to be turned under in November or disced in early in the spring. If the garden is on clay soil, break it in November to improve the physical condition. Repair fences or build new ones if the garden is in a new location. Provide extra space in tobacco plant beds for growing tender vegetable plants. Although a hot bed is not a necessity, it will prove to be a profitable invest ment for growing early plants to be transplanted later. Prune and spray all fruit trees and grape vines. Peach trees not treated for borers in October should have the borers removed now by hand. Cut posts and stakes and place conveniently to be used next summer to support run ning beans, tomatoes, and small fruits. Write to the Agricultural Ed itor at N. C. State College, Ra leigh for one or more of the fol lowing Extension Circulars: No. 122, “The Farm and Home Gar den Manual;” No. 185, “Spray Calendar for Peaches;” No. 192, “Apple Spray Calendar;” No. 205, “Pruning the Apple Tree;” No. 210, “Fruits and Nuts for Home Use;” No. 231, “Growing Early Vegetable Plants;” and No. 235, “Facing Farm Facts.” They will be sent free. o Soybean poduction this year is indicated to be 81,500,000 bush els, approximately 6,000,000 bush els below the 1939 production, estimates the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. LEGAL NOTICE ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE Having qualified as Admini strator of the estate of Mrs. Anna E.
