QUESTION: How much oats
will I have to produce to warrant
my buying a combine?
ANSWER:. Yields of at least 70
bushels per acre should be sought
to give reasonable dollar ret'j' n
if you own a combine and do no
custom work. You would have to
sow at le&st 20 acres to cover
your cash costs alone, paying
nothing for labor. Before buying
such expensive equipment, you
should give careful consideration
to the relative cost of custom
combining. Generally, you need

Electric Appliances
Simplify Day's Work
Various electric appliances
have certainly simplified the dai
ly routine of the average home
makers, but purchasing such
equipment should require care
ful study. After you've decided to
buy a piece of equipment, you
should ask yourself, "What
should we know about this equip
ment before we buy?" Mamie
Whisnant, State College home
management specialist, advises
that you ask questions of neigh
bors and sales people before mak
ing the final decision.
You should consider the relia
bility of the manufacturer and
the dealer. An established reputa
tion, says Miss Whisnant, is a
company's greatest asset and
your best guarantee. You should
know the terms of your guaran
tee. Determine what service is
really available in accordance
with this guarantee.
f See, too, that the piece of equip
ment is listed as having been ap
proved by the National Board of
Fire Underwriters.
Before buying an electrical ap
pliance, you should consider the
initial cost, the cost of operation,
the cost of installation, and the
cost of upkeep. Maintenance and
replacement costs are likely to
be higher for electric equipment
than for equipment using other
fuels, says Miss Whisnant. Study
your guarantee to determine what
servicing you will be furnished by
the particular firm.
' Overall construction is impor
tant too. Examine the product to
determine the rigidity of the
frame and the material of which
it Is made. Be sure the exterior
and interior finishes are durable
and easily cleaned.
Insulation Is another Important
factor to consider. In most elec
trical appliances, Insulation is an
indication of quality.
Private industry spends an es
timated $140 million a year for
research on agricultural products
and on machinery used in agri
culture. Public expenditures total
$107 million.

Rise In Cattle
Maiket Fozecast
With most observers perdicting
a disposal of surplus beef cattle
by late 1954 or early 1955 and a
subsequent rise in the market, a
State College cattle expert today
urged farmers to seriously consi
der establishing beef herds now.
A. V. Allen, animal husbandry
specialist tot the college's Agri
cultural Extension Service, point
ed out that the fall feeder calf
sales, which begin in the state
Wednesday, afford the best op
portunity in several years for en
tering the cattle business. Quality
is expected to be high and prices
low.
Allen said that the market is
bound to go up, whereas two
years ago it was bound to\go
"do\vn. "This is the most favorable
time in two years to buy founda
tion and replacement females," he
said.
"A man buying heifer calves
now could breed in the spring of
?54 so that they would calve in
the spring of '55 ? in time to hit
the expected rising rtiarket," Al
len explained.
The 14 sales are offering 5,000
feeder calves that grade medium
or better. Last year. 71 per cent
of the consignments to the annual
sales placed in the top three
grades. All animals have been
vaccinated for blackleg and ship
ping fever; heifer calves will be
blood-tested for Bang's disease:
all cailves will be dehorned, and
no bull calves will be offered.
Transportation is available at all
sales, which start at 1 p. m.
Allen pointed out that farmers
could purchase feeder calves and
thus utilize their com that has
been damaged by dry weather.
He pointed out that North Car
olina packers prefer slaughter
animals that weigh between 800
and 1,000 pounds and that grade
good or choice.
"The farmer who purchases
feeder calves at the bargain pri
ces expected at these sales "an
get them to the preferred grarie
and weight by one of several met
hods." Allen said.
These are:
1 Dry lot feeding on corn and
cottonseed meal. This takes from
90 to 100 days to get the animals
to market condition.
2. Winter on rough hay, silage,
cover crops, and accumulated
pasture. Finish on dry lot feed
ing, or feed grain while on grass.
3. Winter in the same manner
as in No. 2 and finish on grass
alone. Feeder calves that grade
medium do well when finished on
grass.
Sales, and the number of head
offered, follow: Goldsboro (200),
Sept. 21; Elizabeth City (125),
Sept. 22; Burgaw (150), Sept. 23;
Rocky Mount (600), .Sept. 24;

grasses get a chance to become
well established before next sum
mer's heat and dry weather. If
you are Interested in building a
new lawn this fall yOu should
write to the N. C. Agricultural Ex
tension Division for .John Har
ris' bulletin on "Carolina Lawns".
I should like to say a few words
here about winter lawn's. Most
vvim me coming 01 tne fall
season we begin to think of lawns
and lawn grasses both for tem
porary winter lawns and for per
manent ones. In most of North
Carolina the fall months are the
best time of the year to build per
manent lawns because the young

established lawns in this state arc
of Bermuda grass. crab grass,
Dallis grass, bJuogniss or a mix
ture of these and others. All ex
cept bluegrass will turn brow
at the first hard frost. With the
mild' winters that we are blessed
with oyer most of the state it is
very desirable to Keep our lawns
green the year round. This is
made possible by sowing Italian
ryegrass in the established sod
during late September or early
October. If your permanent sod
is heavy it may . require five
pounds of ryegrass seed per 1.000
square feet of lawn. If the sod
is not heavy, two to three pounds
per 1.000 square feet should be
sufficient. Italian ryegrass is an
annual and. will die out next June.
| By that time the permanent gra &
J ses should lake over again. Since
| liluegra-ss remains fairly green in
winter it is not recommended that
ryegrass be planted in a good
bluegrass lawn. The spring grow
th of ryegrass is often very heav>
and may kill, out the bluegrass.
In order to give a good dark
green color to the ryegrass it
should he fertilized before plant
ing. About two pounds of a 5-10^5
or other good garden fertilizer
jx>r 100 square feet of lawn should
give good results.
