ing the past four years.
."The fact that funds for the 1937
program are not yet available should
be pointed out. The Congress, at
the time the Soil Conservation and
Domestic Allotment Act was passed
in ? 1936, authorized an annual ap
propriation of $500,000,000 for carry
ing out a program under . the Act.
The actual appropriation for 1937
remains to be made, . however. The
program we have drafted, therefore,
is dependent upon the action of
Congress.'
The program provides for expen
ditures not to exceed the $500,000,
000 authorized to carry out the Soil
Conservation and Domestic Allotment
Act.
The plan of establishing soil de
pleting bases for farms has been
continued. These bases will be used
as a yardstick to measure diversion
from soil depleting to soil conserv
ing crops.
Payment for shifts from general
depleting crops and cotton, tobacco,
and peanuts will be continued in
1937.
Crops will be classified as soil
conserving and soil depleting. These
classifications follow those establish
ed in 1936 but some changes have
been made in the light of experience
gained in the actual operation of the
program and conditions brought
about by the 1936 drought
Any producer, no matter how small
his farm, will have an opportunity
to earn at least $g0. The minimum
allowance. in the 1936 program was
$10.

Timely Questions On
Farm Answered
Question: How long should I wait
after vaccinating hogs for cholera
before killing them for the home
meat supply?
Answer: Where the animals have
shown no reaction such as fever and
other disorders from the treatment,
they may be killed two weeks after
vaccination is completed. The meat
will then cure out .well with no after
effects from the vaccination. How
ever, if the animals have had any
fever or have shown signs of nervous
disorders, it will be best to wait until
the trouble has disappeared before
killing them. ,
Question: What is a good winter
grain ration for my Jersey cows?
Answer: This, of course, depends
upon the amount of milk produced
and the quality of the hay fed. Under
ordinary conditions each cow should
receive six tenths of one' pound of
gram for each pound of mukproduc
ed in excess of ten pounds. This
means that , a cow giving 20 pounds
of milk would receive six pounds of
grain a day. This feeding is based
on the supposition that the cow is
getting about three pounds of silage
for each. 100 pounds of weight and all
the legume hay she will eat. Where
the hay is of ; poor quality, more
grain will be required.
Question:; How long will it be
after, the males are placed in the
flock -before hatching eggs may be
selected? V
J- Answer: Research work has indi
cated that an egg is fertile within 20
hours after the male is introduced in
the flock, but thiB is - the extreme
case, and impractical from the breed
era', standpoint.?: For general farm
conditions it ia best to wait until the
fifth day after mating' before select
ing -eggs for hatching.; This is especially-
true where ', the male has
been use4 more- than one year.

cars for domestic use are the largest

Company, totaling 35,043 units, it was

and commercial cars as well as to the
general improvement in business and

shell and radiator grille.
Hog Killing Time;
Look Over These Tips
December is hog-killing time in
North Carolina.
A few tips that will help make the
job successful are offered by E. H.
Hostetler, professor of animal hus
bandry at State College.
Be sure that hogs for slaughter are
in a good, healthy condition, and are
carrying plenty of finmh.
Have sufficient equipment, curing
ingredients, and labor on hand.
Make sure that the smokehouse is
clean and in good repair.
Donlt get the hoars hot or excited
just before killing.
Don't try to slaughter hotrs and
put the meat into cure on the same
day.
Kill one day, preferably a cool, drv
afternoon, then allow the carcasses to
cool overnight, but be careful to keep
tne meat irom freezing.
The next day, cut ud the meat and
put it into cure, using either the dry
salt pack or the brine cure.
Don't attempt to do work with dull
tools.
Don't guess at the amount of salt.
sugar, saltpeter, and other curing in
gredients. Weigh the meat, then
weigh out the correct amount of cur
ing ingredients needed.
After the meat is cured, it mav be
smoked over oak, hickory, or other
hardwood, or over corn cobs. t
If the smokehouse is insect proof,
the meat may be left in it until used.
Otherwise, wrap it in heavy paper
and tie in cloth sacks before hanging
it away in the smokehouse.
