INTERESTING FARM NEWSINTEREST GROWS 1

IN CORN-HOG PLAN

A new interpretation of the corn-hog contracts shows that farmers i?will get sls a head for every hog sby which they reduce their produc- Jtion this year, according to W. W. <Shay, swine specialist at StateCollege, who has charge of the ]corn-hog sign-up in this State. <

? The contracts specify that the |growers will get $5 a head on 75per cent of the number of hogs in 1their base average production if ;they reduce their production by 25 Iper cent.

Thus, a grower who had beenproducing 20 hogs would reducethe number of 16 and get $5 a head

for the 15 hogs, or $75. The $75is the equivalent of a payment of

sls a head on the five hogs hewould fail to produce this year,Shay pointed out.

He reported considerably inter-est in the corn-hog reduction pro-gram and said that postmastersover the State have sent in thenames of 17,000 farmers to whomforms and information regardingthe campaign are being mailed.

Reports on the number of con-tracts signed in the State are notavailable now, but Shay said thut150 contracts have been placed inAlamance county and that thecounty agent has expectations ofplacing at least 100 more.

A meeting was held in Raleigh

Friday by C. L. Chambers, ofWashington, who has charge ofthe southern States' extension serv-ice, to give county agents final in-structions for administering thecorn-hog program.

The county agents in a numberof cases are holding meetings to.stimulate interest in the sign-up,while in other places the contractsand information regarding thecampaign are being distributed by

mail. The expense of a personalcanvass of every grower in NorthCarolina where corn and hog pro-duction is not extensive would betoo great, Shay explained.

FROTEIN NECESSARYIN POULTRY FEED

All poultrymen should have athorough knowledge of' the func-tion of proteins in nourishing birdsand of the way to select proteinfeeds in preparing rations forchickens, says Roy S. Dearstyne,head of the poultry department atN. C. State College.

Protein is second only to wateras the most prominent element inthe body of fowls. Eggs have ahigh protein content, and layinghens need far more protein in theirration than the amount necessaryto supply their body requirements."Young growing birds also needlarge amounts of protein.

Good starting mashes for chickshave at least a ?0 per cent proteincontent to provide for the rapiddevelopment of the frame, flesh,

?and feathers. A similar percentageis in laying rations.

But from the time the birdsweigh two pounds until they reachmaturity, the protein in their feedought to be reduced, as a too gen-erous supply will stimulate layingbefore the birds' bodies havereached maturity.

Soybean oil meal is high in pro-tein. So is cottonseed meal, buteggs produced from the latter areliable to show discoloration and behard to market after being placed

in cold storage. Peanut meal, co-coanut meal, and cowpeas aresometimes incorporated in a ration,but when only vegetable proteinsare used in the feed mixture, amineral supplement is necessary.

Animal proteins, usually marineproducts or by-products of the.slaughter house, are consideredbetter than vegetable proteins.Properly processed fish meal andmeat scraps have been proven sat-isfactory. Only high grade fishmeal which has been vacuum cook-ed should be used as low gradesare liable t0 increase the deathrate of chicks.

Blood meal, tankage, fresh meat,and milk products are often used,but should be fed with carefulplanning. Poultrymen shouldguard against the tendency to sub-stitute cheaper foods for qualitystuff in preparing home-mixedrations.

Barley and oats in CatawbaCounty have been so heavily dam-aged by recent cold that re-seedingis necessary, report many growers.

EDGECOMBE GROWERS j <FOR TOBACCO CONTROL ! 1

I]

Edgecombe county growers of ]flue-cured tobacco have come out istrong for federal legislation to iforce non-signers of the tobaccocontract to reduce their acreage.

Representing practically everygrower in the county, the Edge-combe County Tobacco Control

j Association has sent a resolutionto North Carolina's Senators andCongressmen asking them topush the enactment of such legis-

I lation.The resolution urged laws forc-

ing non-signers to reduce underpenalty of paying a tax of 15 centsa pound on all tobacco they sellabove the amount they would havemarketed under the contract.

Furthermore, non-signers wouldbe required to reduce without get-ting the rental, benefit, and equali-zation payments given to growerswho signed. They would also beprevented from obtaining croploans from the Farm Credit Ad-ministration.

The resolution further requested

the secretary of agriculture to pro-vide for a permanent system ofcrop control after the present con-tract expire, and to place govern-ment graders on the markets tograde all tobacco sold free ofcharge.

Claude T. Hall of Woodsdale,president of the North CarolinaTobacco Advisory Board, is also infavor of governmental action con-trolling the production of thosewho have not signed the contract.Mr. Hall recently made a state-ment urging all cooperating grow-ers to ask their congressional rep-resentatives to support such action.

"To keep quiet at this time is togive support to those who seek towreck the adjustment program,"he declared.

FALL OAT CROPSERIOUSLY DAMAGED

The recent cold weather hascaused severe injury to the oatcrop, considerable damage to bar-ley and some damage to the wheatcrop.

"Indications are that farmerswho depend upon oats or oat hayfor feeding their work stock dur-ing the summer, will probably beshort of hay," says P. H. Kime,associate agronomist at State Col-lege. "The extent of the injurycannot be determined as yet andit is not advisable to plow up theoats and reseed them for the pres-ent. It may be that many fieldswill recover. It is advisable, how-ever, to plant an additional acre-age at once. Some of the land tobe taken out of the production ofcotton and tobacco might be plant-ed to oats and lespedeza."

Mr. Kime recommends seedingthe Fulghum variety. Three or!four bushels of seed to the acre, Jshould be used, he says, sincespring oats do not tiller to the ex-tent that fall-sown ones do. Thequicker the spring oats are plant-ed, the better the yields will be. j

When lespedeza is planted over Ithe oats, sow the seed after the joats are drilled or harrowed in.If the soil is loose, the lespedezamay be broadcasted and either not jcovered at all, or lightly coveredwith a harrow or drag. The oatsitnd lespedeza should not be seededin the same operation, Kime says,because the lespedeza seed mustnot be covered as deeply as thec at seed. The oats may be drilledfirst, and then the lespedeza drill-ed, covering it lightly he suggests.

Small grain damaged by recentcold weather will be aided by atop-dressing of nitrate of soda.The nitrate should be applied justbefore the plants begin to tiller,say extension specialists at State

1 College.
