10 Points Given For Handling Beef Cattle L. L Case, Extension animal husbandman of N. C. State Col lege, says there are 10 funda mental points in beef cattle pro duction. He lists them as follows: 1. Beef cattle cannot be pro duced economically without util izing pastures to the maximum. 2. Make use of the less sale able roughage as much as possi ble, especially with the breeding herd during the winter months 3. Use a purebred bull, pre ferably a proven sire.

Provide a balanced ration, including proteins, necessary min erals, and vitamins. 5. Do not construct or main tain costly quarters for beef cat tle. Overhead cost must be kept low. 6. Keep animals free from parasites, both internal and ex ternal. Feeding parasites is al ways too expensive. 7. Make an effort to secure a high percentage of calves. The main causes for the low percent age of calf crops are contagious abortion, and lack of attention at breeding and calving time. 8. Conserve the manure. Since the maintenance of soil fertility is a much greater problem than can be satisfactorily met by the use of commerciol fertiliers, tto proper conservation of manure is an important consideration. 9. Have pigs to follow fatten ing cattle. One pig to two or three steers will add profit to the en terprise. 10. Guard against disease, es pecially Bang’s disease and tub erculosis. o SELL YOUR TOBACCO IN ROXBORO. PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C.

FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED QUESTION: What is a good control for peach tree borers? ANSWER: J. O. Rowell, Ex tension entomologist of State Col lege, says that the ethylene dicli loride emulsion is especially ad vantageous at this season of the year. It can be applied in the late fall, or even in the winter. It is well, however, to use the treat ment in November when the lar vae are still small and easily killed. Ethylene dichloride emul \Wm ■- PEEBLES DuFT. STORE sion has many advantages over ’ the P. D. B. method. QUESTION: What varieties of strawiberry plants are recom mended for a home garden? ANSWER: For Eastern North Carolina, H. R. Niswonger, Ex tension horticulturist, recom mends the Blakemore, Massey and Fairmore. For Western North Carolina he suggests the Premier, Fairfax, Massey or Fairmore. Not less than 10 plants and not more! than 300 plants are desirable for! a home planting. The strawberry plants may be set in January or j February in Eastern Carolina, and 1 in March or April and after per-| iods of soil freezing and thawing have passed in Western Carolina.* QUESTION: How should stom ach worms in dairy calves be controlled? ANSWER: John A. Arey, Ex-j tension dairyman, says that poorly drained pastures is the chief cause! of the infestation of calves with; stomach worms in the fall and' early winter. Salt acts as a pre ventive and should be accessible to the calves at all times Medical treatment consists of drenching .the infested animals with a solu tion of copper sulphate made up by dissolving one-fourth pound of clear blue crystals of copper sul phate in one pint of boiling wa ter, and then add cold water to make three gallons of the solu tion. Calves should have 3 to 4 fluid ounces at a dose. I Supply, War Called Major Cotton Factors Cotton farmers, who jvill vote December 7 on a marketing quota for their 1941 crop, should give serious consideration to the Eu ropean War and its effect on cot ton, declares E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of N. C. State College. Quotas will be in effect if approved by two-thirds of the farmers voting in the Nation. “Regardless of the outcome of the war,” Floyd said, “cotton farmers face difficulties ahead. If Germany and her allies win, the United States may be faced with unfavorable trade policies and economic blockades. If Great Britain wins, it will be extreme ly difficult to carry on normal trade in the markets of the world because a great part of the world’s resources and purchasing power will have been dissipat ed.” Already the war has caused a severe reduction in cotton ex ports. During the first three months of the 1940-41 marketing season, the United States sold less than 300,000 bales of cotton a broad as compared with about 1,750,000 bales during the same period last year. Domestic consumption of cot ton, Floyd stated, continues at a high level. Estimates are that about eight million bales, a new record for domestic consumption, will be used in this country in the 1940-41 season. “However,” Floyd warned, “loss in exports will more ihan offset the prospective gain in domestic consumption. “Clearly," he continued, “cot ton farmers must use every provi sion of their farm program to meet this situation. They must work together to keep supply in line with demand. Only in this way can they hope eventually to solve the problems affecting cot ton which have been further ag gravated by the war. Consider ing the situation which confronts cotton farmers, they have need for marketing quotas in 1941 more than ever before.” o TO CHARLOTTE The Cotton Stamp Plan, de signed to remove cotton surpluses from the market, has been ex tended to Charlotte and Meck lenburg County, announces the U. S. Department of Agriculture. HOLLY Oregon Experiment Station workers have found that defolia tion of holly sprays and wreaths during shipment at Christmas' time may be prevented by dip ping the holly in a napthalene accetic acid.
