Miss Elizabeth Tucker, of Raleigh, Winter Weather Helps Farmer Till The Soil "In winter, the weather will help cultivate your soil if you give it half a chance. fThe alternate freezing and thaw ing in cold weather will do more to make a good seed bed than all the tilling you can do in the spring. "But if your land is to get the full benefit of this freezing and thawing, it must be broken in the late fall or early winter," said E. C. Blair, exten sion agronomist at State College. Plow now for land to be planted to corn and cotton. This is especially important on red clay soils and on fields where there is vegetation to be turned under, he continued. " A rough, freshly plowed surface also absorbs and retains more mois ture for next spring's crops than does land with a hard compact surface. Blair also pointed out that winter freezes kill insects in great numbers. The killing action is more effective in freshly plowed land, as the insects are more exposed. ' In the coastal plain, 'he added, many farmers do not realize the im? f ortance of turning under early such crops as soybeans, cowpeas, velvet leans, and corn and cotton stalks. If they are turned under early in l'ecember, they will be well rotted in the soil by planting time next spring. This means that the soil will be fill ed with rich organic matter that in creases the amount of plant food in the land ana also helps it absorb more moisture and resist erosion. -. But this will not be the case if plowing is delayed until next spring just before time to plant corn, cotton, and other crops.

Jessup, for the holidays. six to eight weeks before the first killing frost, and if the hives have plenty of honey, there will be a strong bee population at the start of the honey flow next spring, Sams continued. When the honey is taken from the hives for the last time in the fall, care should be exercised not to take too much. Single story colonies should have the combs three-fourths full of honey and two-story colonies should have the food chambers filled completely In case the bees run short of their natural food, feed them a syrup made up of two parts granulated sugar to one part of water. Each colony, should be fed enough to bring the food stores up to 40 or 50 pounds, Sams pointed out Convinced Rotation Of Crops Aid To Farming John A, Harwood, one of the first Stanly County farmers . to adopt a systematic crop rotation now says nothing could make him "go back to the old haphazard way of farming.1 , Crop rotation on a systematic ba sis, he said helps conserve and build up the soil, helps check plant disease, and tends to keep crop production ba lanced according to the needs of his farm. i,v , . " jHls three-year rotation was worked out in -1928 by E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State ? College. v and Oscar H. Phillips, then Stanly Coun ty farm agent ,,,-.-"- The farm has approximately 60 icres in cultivation which are divided into . three, fields . of i practically the same ', jwzft.r--c". The order of rotation' is; -First year, corn and soybeans or cotton, with wheat planted after the com or cotton - is harvested, v Second year, Red -clover and lespedeza followed by wheat' Third year,' lespedeza 1 and Red clover'- , - w , , During" any given year, one field is in -the first' year of the rotation, another field is in' the second year, and the other field is in the third year. , ; ' .

Answer:' No arbitrary age can be set for breeding heifers as this de pends on the maturity of the indi vidual animal and x: also : upon the breed. . If properly grown out, Jer sey and Guernsey heifers should be bred to freshen from 24 to SO months of age. " The Ayrshire -and Holstein heifers should freshen when from ?7 to-312 months 6f -age. "Animals fed a liberal grain ration in addition to the roughage will mature more rapid ly fha''.flloM'mr.u.'ilnited' grain ration and, ! therefore, ' can be bred from four to six months earlier. - ' Question: : Is it advisable to mate purebred cockerels with mongrel fe males I , ; , Answer:-':' This practice is carried out in a great 'many instances, but it is not recommended. The mon grel birds are already of questionable value and, while there may be an in crease in egg production, better and more rapid results would take place if the mongrel females were replac ed with purebred chicks. Where chicks are bought be sure that they come from an accredited hatchery and if eggs are bought for hatching, be sure that they are from a blood tested flock. Question: Can the same tobacco plant bed be used or should a new site be selected? Answer: It is always best to se lect another site unless the old beds have been planted in a four-year ro tation. Locate the new beds in a warm, sunny place with southern or southwestern exposure, if possible. See that the site is .well-drained, has a loamy type of soil and is close to a water supply. If the old bed if used it should be burned over or sterilized with steam. Wallace Says Farm Program Be Better It may be interesting to Chowan farmers to read a statement by Sec retary Wallace at a recent meeting of the American Farm Bureau Fed eration, when he said: "You may have heard the idea ad vanced that the Agricultural Adjust ment Act should be re-enacted that the programs carried out under its provisions were the best programs agriculture ever had. But good as that program was we want to see it improved upon. A better program can and will be built" 1 This pronouncement on the part of Secretary Wallace, gives the Farm Bureau workers in North Carolina, a great deal of encouragement Mr. Wallace went further to say in his speech before the American Farm Bureau in Pasadena that the program would give the farmers an opportu nity to organize effectively. Secretary Wallace has been a mem ber of the Farm Bureau for a num ber of years and realizes: that farm ers can best solve their problems through . organized efforts, ,and throughout the past administration has been a strong advocate of or ganized efforts on the part of the growers. He, in fact has from time to time warned the farmers, that his department would be unable to co operate with them if they did not set up an organization through which the department could work. It is re assuring to the Farm Bureau to hear Mr. Wallace ;. say, "A better farm program than a Triple A can and will foe built during this Administra tion." TO GOTO VIRGINIA Mr. and Mrs. D. S.
