Indians lost the first game of their

team is coached by Jimmv Johnson.

After four quarters of scrappy

' - short end of a 19-0 score. However,
', , the -game was more interesting than

will be no easy mark for the teams

The'-leading backs were Wallace

.Dillard and White played a steady
game. Chappell pleased the Hert-
ford people with his smashing line

John Wood was putting them in the
ball game, with his perfect passes.

Here are timely suggestions from
State College specialists for the
month of October:
A. D. Stuart, seed specialist, says
early planted small grains have a
distinct advantage over later plant
ings in the matter of yield, a fact on
which growers should capitalize. If
the wheat, oats, and barley sown are
not resistant to smut, the seed should
be treated. Then, too, all seed plant
ed should have germination and pur
ity tests.
Robert Schmidt, associate horti
culturist of the Experiment Station,
reminds growers to harvest theii
sweet potatoes before the heavy
frosts which come first during the
last days of October. Careful har
vesting will prevent much bruising,
which, in turn, will reduce storage
losses. The potatoes should be
graded in the field, packed in crates
or baskets, and placed in storage
with as little handling as possible.
Farmers who are interested 'in bet
ter seed could improve their own
siock dv selecting seed Dotatoes in
the fields at digging time.
Lloyd Weeks, extension tobacco
specialist, says tobacco growers can
make substantial savings by taking
apart their tobacco flues and treat
ing them with waste motor oil. Af
ter receiving a coat of oil. the flues
should be placed on tier poles in tho
barn. Such treatment will cause
them to last three to four times as
long.
John Arey, extension dairyman,
passes along a couple of suggestions
First, he says dairy herds should be
lulled this month. Medium to low
producing cows which paid only a
small profit on pasture this Dast
summer will not pay when placed on
Second, he

October is a busy month for poul
trymen, because the .old poultry year
overlaps the new, says T. T. Brown,
extension poultryman. Some of the
things the poultry grower should do
now are: Select next year's breeding
pen or mark the birds to be selected
later; keep the hens and pullets sep
arated; house the pullets; make a
gradual change from urn-win tr mash
to a laying mash; check for drafts
in the laying house; and don't over
crowd birds.
Dairy Records Show
Feed Needs Of State
urges farmers to attend county and
State dairy cattle shows this fall.
The show ring, he says, is the place
where breed type standards are fix
ed. It is also a splendid place for
breeders to compare their animals
and to advertise their surplus stock.
E. C. Blair, extension agronomist,
adds a good word for winter cover
crops. "Farmers who have not seed
ed winter cover crops and annual le
gumes, such as Austrian winter Deas
consisted of a plaid sport coat, a' and hairy vetch, should do so by all
dress of light wool, and matching ac- means this month," he says. "Also,

Dairy farming has made remark
able progress in North Carolina dur
ing the past 20 years, especially a
mong herds producing milk for the
fluid market. "But we need more
feed low cost, home-grown roup-h-
age before North Carolina can ex
pect to take its rightful place as a
major dairying State." savs John A.
Arey, veteran Extension specialist of
N. C. State College. " '
Arey has been promoting thisort
of a dairy program for many years;
now, through the Dairy Herd Im
provement Associations, he has facta
and figures to back up his arguments.
Records just released by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture show that
the average butterfat production for
all cows on D. H. I. A. test in the
country reached a new high of 323
pounds in 1939, with the average
milk production being 7,977 pounds
per cow. The average production of
D. H. I. A. cows in North Carolina
for 1939 was 298 pounds of butter
fat and 6,822 pounds of milk.
The average feed, cost of producing
100 pounds of milk for the cow which
gave 7,977 pounds of milk (the Na
tional D. H. I. A. average) was only
79 cents; the average feed cost per
100 pounds of milk for the North
Carolina D. H. I. A. cows which aver
aged 6,882 pounds of milk was $1.22.
In commenting on these figures,
Arey said: "An analysis of the
average production of D. H. I. A.
cows by states shows a close relation
between feed production and milk
production. The average butterfat
production in 1939 for 10 Southern
states, a deficient feed producing
area, was 278 pounds, as compared
to that of 329 pounds for 10 Central
I Western states which grow ample
quantities ol teed."
I Chickens, Like Humans,
Catch Colds During Pall
The advice that C. F. Parrish, Ex
tension poultryman of N. C. State j
College, hands out to poultry-raisers '
at this season of the year sounds
like that of the family doctor to a
mother with a brood of children, j
"At the first signs of colds or
bronchitis, give the poultry flock a I
dose of epsom salts in the drinking
water," Parrish advises. "Also keep
a supply of oil handy to use in case j
of an outbreak of disease," he adds.
The Extension specialist stresses
the advisability of Quarantining all
birds returned from fairs and shows
for at least ten days before returning
them to the flock. He says this is
one of the most frequent causes of
outbreaks of colds in the poultry
house; the show birds are often ill-
housed at fairs and they develon
bronchitis there, or enroutee to and
from the fair.
Parrish recommends the use of about
three-fourths of a pound of epsom
salts in the drinking water for each
ivv Drus. "jjo not leave the salts
water before the flock longer than
three hours, preferably the first
thing in the morning," he says.
"Then start feeding a good grade of
fish oil, such as cod liver oil or sar
dine oil, on the scratch grain. This
oil, which is rich in Vitamin A,
should be mixed fresh each day ac
cording to directions.
"Put the grain in a bucket or tub
and pour the oil over the grain and
stir. Feed the grain in a trough.
Mix it just before feeding each day.
Feed the extra oil at last a week or
ten days. A few days' delay in start
ing such a treatment lessens the re
suits obtained."

When you spend a dollar for any of the
modern nov gasolines, you get just about
the same quantity wherever you buy.

thing extra that doesn't show up in the
quantity or in the price either.
It's Pure Oil's bonus the exclusive
chemical combination that helps reduce
excess carbon formation as you drive. It's
something you don't get in other gaso
lines. It's something you donH pay extra to
