continuous cotton, says
cultural Station at State College in
reporting tests near Statesville on a
Cecil, Bandy clay loam with a 10 per
cent slope.
"Thej sod not only provided excel
lent protection while growing on the
land but it also reduced soil loss from
the succeeding row crop," according
to' the soil conservationists. Experi
ment Station Bulletin No. 347 gives
a full report of a large number of
tests.
The tests definitely establish the
fact that a large proportion of the
annual soil loss in this area occurs
during June, July and August. Where ,ast fal
cotton did not follow a winter cover
crop, the tons of soil lost by seasons J
were approximately as follows: De
cember through February, ton;
March through May, 2 tons; June
through August, 24 tons; and Sep
tember through November, 2 tons.
About 90 per cent of the soil was
lost in the three summer months.
Where corn followed rye and vetch,
essentially the same thing happened
but, of course, the soil loss was
much less. A loss of 8 tons out of
a total soil loss of 1 1 tons occurred
during this June, July and August
period. Where there was a complete
sod on the land, the soil loss was re
duced to almost nothing, even at
this period of the year.
Summer legume crops save many
tons of soil per acre every year and, j
when turned under, they add nitrogen
for soil building and help to pre
vent soil loss in row crops the fol
lowing year. In the four-year ro
tation about nine tenths of the soil
loss came from growing- cotton and
corn.
last September and fertilized it with
400 pounds df complete fertilizer,
there would be no call for "cheap
roughage" at this time, milk pro
duction would be mounting, and
there would be a much better chance
for profits, according to the Exten
sion specialists.
A farm agent, faced with a 7,200
ton hay deficit in his county, is
urging that lespedeza be seeded on
every acre of fall sown grain and
that farmers give the lespedeza 300
pounds of complete fertilizer per
acre, after the grain is cut, where
a complete fertilizer was not used
Prevent Cannibalism
In Poultry Flocks
iSerious losses may occur in poultry
flocks if cannibalism is allowed to de
velop. At the very first sign of
feather pulling, hip or back picking,
vent picking or tail picking, the
poultryman must take measures to
control the condition.
It is thought that the trouble may
be due to overcrowding of the birds
open says Farm Forester H. E.
Blanchard of the State College Ex
tension Service.
He explains that fire control is a
simple matter when everyone in the
community works together but acci
dents often happen and everyone is
more or less careless at times. There
fore, it is best to be prepared for
forest fires.
One method of fire line suggested
by Blanchard is the plowing of two
parallel furrows about 20 to 30 feet
apart and the burning of the material
between the furrows. This estab
lishes a good fire break and will usu
ally stop slow burning fires. It is,
of course, necessary to reburn this
area each year.
Another method of preparing fire
breaks is to plow a strip instead of
the parallel furrows, but this method
is often hard to follow and is no
more effective than the burned out
area. All large woodlands should foe
broken into blocks of not more than
40 acres by the use of fire breaks,
according to Blanchard.
He also suggests tools for fighting
fires. These include an axe, long
handled shovel, hoe, and a fire rake
and a swatter. A potato rake and
pinetops can be used in place of the
last two tools.
"Fire lines will not stop all fires,
but one or two men working in a well
established fire line can do as much
to control fire as 20 men who have
to build the fire break ahead of the
fire," Blanchard says.

to the Extension poultry specialists
at State College. They recommend
several changes to help correct the
situation.
First give the flock more room, in
cluding out-of-door range or yarding
if possible. Second, use an anti-pick
salve or paint about 25 percent of
the flock (both picked and non-picked
birds) . with tar. Add additional
salt to the mash at the rate of 1
' pound to each 100 pounds of mash
for several weeks.
As to feeding, the birds may be
given 5 pounds of whole oats in hop
pers per 100 birds for each day, with
i green feed not exceeding an ounce

For Cheap Roughage

feed with $54 cottonseed meal in
producing milk at 40 cents a hun
dred pounds, with trucking deducted,
also $4 a month for cans, and ex
penses for filter discs, disinfectants,
and the like.
The dairyman further pleads that
prices of $45 for poor hay and $55
for other hay are not justified on the
basis of the present milk price.
"Can you tell me where I can get
some cheap roughage?" is the ques
tion which is put to the Extension
Service at State College.
Now that many dairymen and
beef and cattle producers, for that
matter, have let their cows get a-
head of their feed supplies, it's time I
to talk once again about
duction of more feed and cheaD
feeds upon which to build a safe and i
sane livestock industry.

led attention to the yields of about
20 bushels of corn per acre and .9

be discontinued if diarrhea develops
or an increase of blood spots in the
eggs.
Darken the nests by hanging sacks
in front of them. Hang a head of
cabbage, or some salty meat skins,
about a foot above the floor so that
the birds will have something to
pick.
No one seems to know the exact
answer as to just what does cause
cannibalism but there are many re
medies for correcting the condition.
