THE NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE,
OF AGRICULTURE AND ME.
CHANICS ARTS ANNOUNCE
ITS WINTER SHORT
COURSEIN AGRICULTURE.
JAN. 10-FEB. S, 1915.

A few weeks short course in ae-
rlculture is offered the farmers of
North Carolina by the Agricultural
and Mechanical College. A special
invitation is given them to come to
the college and study in the class
rooms and work in the laboratories
Tor four full weeks without anv
charge for the tuition. While at
the College meals may be Oh aimed
at the mess hall for Is cents each.
Rooms may either be obtained in
the city of Raleigh or out at West
Raleigh in some of tie boarding
houses adjacent to the college as
the individual may choose.
Special courses will be given in
Soils, Drainage, Fertilizers. Field
Crops, Fruits, Vegetables, Farm An
lmals, Dairying. Poultry, Plant and
Animal Di 'eases, Marketing and
Farm Management. The college
has a splendid equipment for the
purpo of giving practical instruc
tlon along all the lines mentionet i,
and the opportunity offered the
farmer to improve himself in hi !,
methods has never before been
eQualed. This is due in part to the
many changes in farm conditions
and to the frequent methods which
are discovered from time to time
that are Improvements over old
methods. The new dairy and cream
cry at the college which is now
shipping butter on a commercial
scale will give new points. The inn
proved and pure bred livestock in
the College barns and the methods
of handling same should be of in
terest. The experiments on the col
lege farm and the methods of crop
ping could also be studied with prof
it. So lot of practical good as
we'll as theoretical knowledge can
be gained.
Every farmer in the state is in
vited to come.

COST OF RAISING PIGS TO THE
WEAVING AGE.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
most expensive period of a pigs life
is from time of birth to the wean-
ing age, no careful studies have yet
been made to determine the cost.
This work is now being conducted
on three of the test farms of the
State and some definite results are
being secured from each of the
farms. Some idea as to the cost of
raising litter Of pigs can be seen
by some RESULTS picked at random
from the records of the Animal In
dustry Division.
Sow No. at the Iredell Test
Farm raised six pigs at total cost
of S14.03. Sow No. 2, from the same
farm, raised four pigs at total cost
of $16.23. Sow No. 1 at the Fender
Test Farm raised four pigs at a cost
OF 1888. Sow No. 2 at this same
farm raised nine pigs at cost of
$18.25. Sow No. 1 at the Edge
combe Test Farm raised six pigs at
a cost of $1016. Other records are
being obtained on these different
farms and when the work has been
carried on for two or three more
years some cefinite idea as to meth
DDS OF lowering these costs can he
given. At the present time it
might be wise for the farmers Of
the State to give some consideration
to this phase of their stock farming

VALUABLE Land WASHED BECAUSE OF
IMPROPER METHODS OF HANDLING
The SOIL. EXTENT OF SOIL EROSION.


idea of what a gullieo hillside or q
creek bottom buried in sand means
to the State in decreased crop pro-
duction and loss in soil fertility.
Probably over one-half the soil
washed from our uplands is un-
necessary waste and could be pre-
vented by the addition of humus to
the land, deep ploughing and ter
racing. The removal of timber
from the watersheds of the streams
in the Piedmont section and the
clearing up of the land, followed by
improper means of cultivation, has
contributed in no small degree to
the present filled up conditions of
the rivers and creeks. Considering
the fact that hundreds of years are
required for the formation of one
inch of soil, is it not criminal to al
low its abuse and destruction? One
large rain may remove the soil that
nature has taken centuries to pre-
pare.
The amount of soil removed by
erosion from Piedmont North Caro-
lima is said to amount to three dol
lars per acre yearly in decrease in
crop value alone, and the total loss
in this region is estimated to be
over S2,000,000. The National Con-
servation Commission reported in
1909 that over 100000 acres of
land in the United States have been
actually destroyed by erosion. At
an average original value of $40,
the loss amounts to S40,00O,OOO.
Added to this the loss from non-pro-
duction, the losses to navigation
and water power and in the ex-
pense of keeping open channels, it
is estimated that annually theUnit-
ed States is suffering the loss
of $75.0O0,000 to $100,O0O,OOO
through the agency of erosion.
1t is further estimated that in the
United States over 400 million tons
of soil material which is unnecess-
airy waste is carried to the sea an
more material than was re-
moved in digging the Panama Ca
nal, but this amount does not in
clude all the soil washed from our
hillsides, for but a small portion is
brought to the mouths of the rivers.
An average removal of three inches
from the top of our land means a
loss of over 500 tons per acre.
The tine has come for all to re-
deem their WORKOUT lands, to
make new fields out of old ones.
In the past, it has been cheaper to
move to newer sections, but with
the increased value of lands the
necessity of utilizing that already
in our possession becomes more and
more urgent. Apparently hopeless
ly quilted fields may be reclaimed,
but of course it is better to prevent
erosion in the first place. AS in
the diseases of the body, An
ounce of prevention is worth a Id.
of cure" Every muddy stream
should be warning that valuable
soil is being wasted, much of which
can be prevented. The landowner
should begin to realize the amount
oil this enormous waste, and each
individual should do his part in
checking and preventing the ero-
sion OF our hillside farms, which
can be done at cost that every |
one can afford. AS the Manufact-
urers' Record recently stated, Soil
redemption by Individuals is the !
greatest constructive work Of orr
