Harris recommends that Ike seed be sow n ut the •rats- of three l.o five pounds per 1,000 square lee'., m about 1JU pound' per ncre. Half ol the seed should be sown in one di rection and half in the other try as sure a uniform disltibutIon. The quickest and most economical way to start Bermuda <wne gross i is by its roots Scalier these routs over the lawn and cover them with soil. It if advisable to sow Italian rye grass w.th tlie Bermuda roots to prov.de n quick lawn and huki the noil until the Bermuda geb started While September and Octobei are the best month* for suwirit grass seed the lawns can be started in the spring, especially in tht mountain sectionos. "Too few people realize that ir order to keep a good turf, especial ly where there are trees, one in us fertilize annually." Harris says "louring the winter or early sprtni of each year give the lawn an appli ration of 300 to 400 pound* per acr< <8 to 10 pounds per 1,000 squnri feet i of a 4-8-4 in the Cousin] Plan and 4-10-4 in the Piedmont anc Mountains." Liberal Winter Feeding Essential Breeding Turkeys Breeding turkeys lose weight dur ing tlie laying reason. They can stand this loss if they are fed lib erally through the winter, says C F Parish, poultry specialist of thr State College Extension Service Nov.- is the time to start feeding turkey hens ma*h. Parish says Some flocks in the State have al ready started laying Too, most poullrymcn select young hera and young toms from the spring floc\f to hold over as breeders. Only by liberal feeding do they reach lull growth by the time they start laying, the specialist added Breeding birds will keep in good condition with green feed such as clover. Italian rye grass or alfalfa plenty of sunshine, a good growing rr.ash, scratch grain, plenty of water and gravel or some other in soluble grit A recommended mash is. Bran. 12 parts; middlings. 12 parts; ground oats, 12 parts; ground yellow com, 33 parts; alfalfa leaf meal, fi parts; meat scrape. 13 parts; dried milk. 10 parts; and salt. 1 part. This ration, together with scratch grain, water, and grit, should be continued until at least one month before the hens are expected to start laying, after which time a lay ing ration should be provided. When winter weather is severe and birds must be confined, the growing mash should contain 2 per cent cod liver oil. To preserve the Vitamin A of the cod liver oil, H should not be mixed with the mash for more than two weeks in ad vance-one week is better. DIVERSIFIES A. M. Frazelle of Richlands. On slow County, has decided to add in comes from poultry, beef cattle and swine to his present income from tobacco. Recently he sold 175 ca pons in Philadelphia for 24 cents a pound. He bought a pure bred An gus bull with the money. He has 325 capons now three months old and will trade his grade cows for Angus heifers. Heretofore. Mr. Frarello has depended upon tobacco alone, but he told his farm agent that such dependence is too risky now. BETTER In contrast with 1038 when the farm family felt the effects of the general decline In business activity 1939 gives promise of being a bet ter year, bcheves Dean I. O Schmub, director of the State College Ex tension Service.
