- . fl6W F66Q1I10 Plan 9 | s Animal Husbandry specialists ol " the State College Extension Service have come up with i plan to save more than five tons of grain per car load of beef cattle. Here's the way to do It?Limit the amount of grain feed tq god yearling steers to two-thirds of full deeding. The result ? satisfactory beer I carcasses and a saving of more than 500 pounds of grain per animal! The experiments that showed the possibilities of such savings provided data on feed requirements oficat tie of various ages and their sujfbequeot fattening form arket. Normally there are wide difference^7 in needs for concentrate feeds in# the ' fatenlng of beef cattle.

This is partly because of the greater efflcle?\cy of a young animal In using feed, partly because of te ! greater maintenance requirements i of the heavier animal, and partly be i cause of higher proportion of the grain increment is In the form of fat. Limitation of grain in the ration slows down somewhat the rate of , fat formation and permits the-building up of more lean tissue in more immature animals. In this process the grade of carcass while not so i high, weight for weight, as in heavy feeding is still very satisfactory to ; most consumers. Nsuallyythe llmita tlon of concentrate is made up by , feeding more hay and silage. In the production of cattle on two( thirds the full level of graiq fed, the investigators used barley as the i grain and medium-grade legume hay as the roughage, together with -v was a real pleasi] to install modem, long-weai ialt Tiie Floo * > in V lonk Brothers ?

Schaub of the State College Extension Service, and he points out that rats with plenty to eat are hard to trap or poison. Thousands of bushels of grain de stroyed by rats each is not the only damage these pests cause. They are carriers of Bubonic plague, typhus, and other deadly diseases. Rats never take vacations. *They may raise 6 or more Jitters per year tfith from 0 to 22 In each litter. Ignoring the death rate, the offsprings from one pair of rats could exceed 350,000,000 in 3 years. The population can be quickly re duced, however, by using improved modern control methods, and rtow Is the time tolput those control methods Into effect. Rats cannoil be eliminated If they have places to hide. Piles of rubbish stacks of luniber or other materia and wooden flors close to the ground are'tyvorite hiding places lorrats. many larms nave several such hiding places close to granariies or other food supplies. Sudh a combination is & perfect "rat hoteL" Do not let yduVjfarm become k "rat hotel". Remove rat shelters (rubblshplles), especially those near buildings. Pile lumber and other ma terlal on racks' at least a foot above the ground. Replace wooden feeding floors with concrete, wherever possi ble. Otherwise, raise them a foot or more above the ground, or prevent rats burrowing under them by surrounding with an underground barrier of concrete, sheet metal, or hard ! ware cloth. ? - ? DlreotOT -Schaub urges every Nor* I th Carolina resident to join in the state-wide rat control ' campaign which is scheduled to be held the first week in December. In cooperation with the Predator andI Rodent Control Division of the U. S. Department of Interior fish and Wildlife Service, the Extension Service will sponsor the program In the rural a-' tea, while the State Board of Health .supervises the work in urban centers.

The growing Importance of the milk Industry to the State's Economy is further evidenced by the new peak value of $39,856,000 set on North Carolina's 361,000 milk cows which produced a total of 693,000,000 quarts of milk in 1946.
