Present Weather
Ideal For 1941
Peanut Crop
Heavy rains 10 days ago re
tarded the movement of peanuts
in Northeastern North Carolina
Counties, but for the most part
the weather has been ideal for
picking and curing, B. Troy Fer
guson, district farm agent of the
N. C. State College Extension
Service, said today.
Farmers are busy threshing,
and considerable stock is moving
to market. The wide range in
quality of stock offered is result
ing in a wide range in the prices
offered by buyers, Ferguson said
in quoting a special report of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The November crop report of
the department indicated a
slightly larger production than
the report issued October 1. For
North Carolina, the November
report showed 285,000,000 pounds,
a drop of 86,000,000 pounds from
last year’s revised figures.
The market for shelled goods
in the southeastern area is
stronger and prices higher than
earlier in the month. Both offer
ings and trading are light.

GREATEST DAIRY
NATION IS U. S.
DECLARES HAIG
Milk Largest Source Os
Cash Income For Farmers
Os America
Raleigh, Nov. 19.—Within less
than 50 years, the production and
utilization of milk have so in
creased in this country that now
the United Staates is the greatest
of the dairy nations, Fred M.
Haig, Professor of Dairying at
N. C. State College, said today.
Not only is milk the nation’s
most widely used food, but it is
also the farmers’ largest source
of cash income and the basis of
an industry which for service and
volume has few equals.
Approximately 25,000,000 dai
ry cows are milked daily on
three-quarters of the tounjtry’s
6,000,000 farms, creating an an
nual income of $3,500,000,000.
“In North Carolina,” Haig
said, we have made steady pro
gress in dairying, especially dur
ing the past 15 years. Still, there
are far too, many farms in the
State without a single milch cow.
The lack is most general on to
bacco and cotton farms.”
While these farmers should
continue to produce their main
money crop, the State College
professor pointed out, they should
add a few dairy cows as a side
line. On thousands of these
farms, sufficient feed for five to
ten cows could be grown with
out interfering with the produc
tion of regular cash crops.
Haig explained that an aver
age farm 'cow will produce 600
gallons of milk annually con
taining 232 pounds of butterfat.
At 25 cents a gallon, this milk
would be worth $l5O yearly. The
manure from the cow is worth
S2O, making a total income per
cow of $l7O.
Where a market for milk is
not available, either sweet or
sour cream may be sold to cream
eries. If sold in this manner, the
butterfat is worth 30 cents a
pound or $69.50 annually. To this
must be added the value of the
skim milk left on the farm for
use as calf, chicken and pig feed.
Valuing this at $25 and adding)
the S2O worth of manure would
mean a total income of $114.60
from the cow where crea mis sold
instead of milk.
