T’was getting cold and very dark— Perhaps they’d hear him if he’d bark! He waited all that livelong day. They never came—they’d—moved— away!—Our Dumb Animals. FARM NEWS BY W. B. COLLINS, County Agent. The beef cattle outlook at present is very discouraging. I would not ad vise farmers to hold back too much and wait for better prices. Any beef cattle you have for sale should be sold as fast as reasonable prices can be had. Grain and feed prices will be comparatively high and there is noth ing in sight that will justify buying feed to carry cattle over another year with the expectation of getting higher prices. Every farmer should read carefully and study the cattle outlook, publish ed in The Alleghany Times this week and next. This Outlook is released by the United States Department of Agriculture and is the most com plete information to be had. We had a very successful farm tour on last Wednesday. About 35 interested farmers made the tour. Visits were made to the following farms: Edd Hawthorne’s, where we looked over his field of certified seed Irish potatoes, which we estimated to yield better than 200 bushels per acre. At this field Mr. H. R. Niswonger, Horticultural Specialist, made a talk on seed selection and growing certi fied seed potatoes. While on this farm we saw a herd of well-bred beef cat tle, Lespedeza being successfully grown, a fine yield of soybeans being grown to plow under in preparation for- next year’s potato crop, a part of the flock of over 300 turkeys which were hatched in an incubator and reared in a brooder. Carl Hampton’s Farm, where we looked over fields of Kobe Lespedeza, Korean Lespedeza, and Common ^s pedeza. Every one was impressed with the fine growth of Lespedeza found on Mr. Hampton’s farm. The Common Lespedeza on his farm was affording a large amount of fine graz ing at that time. W. B. Collins’ Farm, where we saw the Trench Silo which had just been completed. Mr. F. R. Farnham made a talk on the value of silage in win tering livestock and the advantages of a Trench Silo. This Silo was con structed at a cost of $15.00 and it is estimated to hold 35 tons of silage. The farmers present at this meeting were impressed with the small cost of this silo and the most of them think that the Trench silo will prove an economical means of wintering beef cattle. On this farm we also saw a good growth of Common Lespedeza which had been sown on an old pasture last March. DeWitt Bryan’s Farm east of Glade Valley, we saw the finest yield of string beans I have ever seen grow in this county. There is 4 acres in the field of beans and they have been averaging yields of 250 bushels of beans per acre. Mr. Bryan had about 40 people in the field picking beans when we arrived and they had picked about 300 bushels of beans that day. High yields of beans are being made on this farm by plowing under a crop of soybeans and cow peas, sowing the land in rye and turning under the rye and beans. About 800 pounds of high grade fer tilizer and 65 pounds of beans are used to seed an acre. We have visited several merchants in regard to making up our premi um list for the Alleghany Agricul tural Fair. At present it looks as though our premium list will be about the same as it was last year. I would like for the farmers and their wives to begin making preparations for an exhibit at the Fair.
