At their home out on the north
edge Of the village Mr.. and Mrs.
John McCauley have established
a mayonnaise plant and are

Kept on mixing and tasting, and
her family and friends helped
her with the tasting, until she
had perfected her product. At
first it was put on sale in the
NJ. store, of which her husband
is a joint proprietor with
Charles w. Shields. 1t became
50 popular that Mr.. McCauley
submitted samples to wholesale
grocers and produce merchants
outside of Chapel Hill, and now
the demand is such that trucks
from Burlington and Greensboro
come and carry away dozens of
cases at a time. One jobber has

Right Care Of Calves
Means Improved Cows

A good starting point toward herd
improvement is the purchase of good
bull. But it is only starting point.
A sire with good producing breeding
behind him will, in all probability, sire
calf that can be made into a good
COW. But lot Of these good calves
are spoiled in the making. A visit is
recalled to dairy section in an east
ern province where pure bred sires of
one breed had been in use for two
decades, says writer in the Montreal
Herald. The cows all showed their
breeding in breed type and refinement
but we saw precious few good cows
from a production standpoint. They
were all understood and stunted. They
had been spoiled in the making. 1t
was sandy country, home grown feed
was scarce and there was little dispo-
sition to buy imported feed. Less
than 60 miles away we visited farm
err with a splendid nerd of the same
breed-grades that looked like pure
breds and looked like big producers.
We mentioned the comparison between
his herd and the cows of the COM
munity we had visited. He laughed.
1t seemed that every COW in his stable
was purchased as a calf or was de-
scended from cows purchased in that
same community. Good feeding from
the start had made the difference. We
need what farmers in the middle west
ern states call the corn crib cross

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture -wNU Service.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture's nationwide campaign
against soil erosion is now taking def
mite form in the practical erosion-pre-
vention work Of the first regional
erosion stations which have been es-
tablished in widely separated areas
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, says
DR.. Henry G. knight, chief of the bu-
reau of chemistry and soils. Doctor
Knight has just returned to Washing
ton from inspection Of the bureaus
work in erosion prevention, soil sur
vey, and soil fertility in the Middle
West, Northwest, and Pacific Coast
states.
Farmers Interested.
Doctor Knight visited the erosion
stations Of the department at Bethany,
Mo-, and at Pullman, Wash, where the
necessary equipment has beeninstalled
and where sheet erosion or run-off Is
being measured on experimental plots.
Plans for field operations are under
way at the station recently established
in Page county, Iowa. He found that
the farmers are keenly interested in
the practical work of the stations, par
tieularly in the terracing Of cultivated
fields, long successful erosion-pre-
vention measure in parts Of the South,
but which is new to the western and
middle western farmers.
The need of soil erosion prevention,
says Doctor Knight, has been forcibly
brought to the attention of Utah farm
ers by recent cloudburst which cut
great canyons in the old lake shore
Of Salt Lake and covered a consider
able acreage of fertile irrigated land
with debris, sand, and powders. This
erosion was result of overgrazing
Of range lands Overgrazing had re-
moved the protective cover from the
soil, he says. The destruction reused
interest in erosion prevention even in
that dry section.
Sugar Beet Yield.
Doctor Knight visited the state agri-
cultural experiment stations in Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Utah, Washington,
Montana, and in North Dakota and
South Dakota. He reports that in
creased yields of sugar beets have re-
suited from the use of phosphate fer
tilizers in Colorado, Nebraska, and the
Dakotas. The bureau of chemistry
and soils initiated this practice few
years ago, and sugar beet companies
now recommend the method generally.
Directors of experiment stations, says
Doctor Knight, are predicting con-
siderable increase in the acreage of
crops next season as the result of the
influx of farm laborers who have re-
turned to the land because of the in
dustrial depression. He cited the case
of single township of North Dakota
in which so men from one factory have
returned to farms.

FARM kCT&'

Keep the weeds down if you wish to
conserve the soil water supply.
Sweet clover will sometimes send its
roots to a depth of four feet within
year Of being planted.
Plant soybeans if the clover or al
falfa fails. This crop may be seeded
ND until late June with good results in
a normal year.
Rape, because of its high protein
content, is desirable crop to be sown
with corn that is to be used for hog
ging-off or sheeping-down.
Weed control is sometimes rendered
difficult because neighbors neglect to
do their share, and the careful farmer
suffers with the rest Cooperation is
needed.
Soybeans require the same seeded
and cultural practices as corn. They
should be planted in rows, like corn
or beans, with hills 20 inches apart
and two plants TO the hill.
An onionlike plant that grows wild
along the Mediterranean coast pro-

ously endanger other animal life.

Substitution of Ground
Wheat for Corn or Milo

Substitution of ground wheat for
ground corn, milo or kafir in the lay
ing mash and of ground or rolled
whole wheat for hominy feed, milo
chop or ground barley in certain dairy
feeds was approved by the Texas col
lege feed conference board in session
at the A. and M. College of Texas re-
Gently. This action was taken by rea-
son of the general interest at this
time in the use of wheat in feeding
rations on account of its relatively
low price as compared with certain
other grains, it was announced.
Substitutions approved for dairy
feeds were listed as follows: Il. Nine
teen per cent protein dairy feed with
limestone ground or rolled whole
wheat may be substituted for hominy
feed, milo chop or ground barley in
amounts not to exceed 20 per cent of
the mixture, provided not more than
one of these ingredients shall be re-
duced to less than per cent. 2. Car
bohydrate supplement with limestone
for cows-ground or rolled whole
wheat may be substituted for finely
ground milo heads, hominy feed or
ground barley in amounts not to ex-
coed 20 per cent of the mixture, pro-
vided not more than one of these in
gradients shall be reduced to less than
8 per cent"

Prevent Scab in Barley
bv Selection of Land

Barley scab is carried over the win
ter in cornstalks, and attacks the bar
ley plant at heading and grows until
the crop is ripe. Rain and damp
weather are necessary during the
heading period for the scab to develop,
according to r, G. Stands, University
of Wisconsin.
Selection of land for the barley crop
is important, as the land that lies near
creeks or rivers seems to have more
disease due to more fogs and heavy
atmosphere than is common on high
land. Lodged barley has more disease
than barley that stands upright. Don't
cut the barley until fully ripened.
Barley should be sown only on land
which has had the stalks plowed under
thoroughly.

New Onion Diseases
Quite Destructive
Ailment Causes Bulbs to Dry
and Rot Eventually.

prepared by. the United States Department
Of Agricultnre,)-WNU Service.
Two new onion diseases, one from
Europe and the other newcomer to
the onion industry, have appeared in
this country in recent years. J. G.
Walker of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture describes these
diseases in a recently revised edition
of Farmers Bulleton 1060-F, Onion
Diseases and their Control, just pub
lished by the department.
Growers in northwestern Oregon and
near Norfolk, Va, and Louisville, KY,
have become familiar with following
and whiting of onion tops in the cool
days of spring or fall as the first signs
of white rot. The disease is known
throughout Europe for its destructive
ness. 1t eventually causes the bulbs
to shrink and dry, so that they are un-
fit for consumption.
Yellow dwarf, the name of the other
disease, In itself describes the effect
it has on an onion crop. This disease
causes greatest damage to crops grown
from sets or seeds. Yellow dwarf oc-
Cured in Pleasant Valley, Iowa, as
early as 1927, when plant disease spe-
cialists first became familiar with it.
Since then the disease has spread to a
few other states.
Among the other diseases described
in this bulletin are smut, mildew, leaf
mold, purple blotch, pink root, fusa-
rum rot, rust, dodder, root knot,
neck rot, soft rot, black mold and
smudge. The last four Of these pri-
marily damage onions in storage and
in transit to market. The other dis
eases appear in the field. Farmers

ANIMALS and Biennials
of Weeds Hard to Kill

An Immense quantity of seed is
produced by some weeds, especially
by ANIMALS and biennials, the result
ing pollution of the soil requiring
years Of cleaning, even if no more
plants are allowed to go to seed.
Many species have vigorous peren-
NAL root systems (thistles, dandelions,
etc., which renew growth until repeat
ed destruction of the tops at every
fresh appearance, starves them.
Very often weeds persist for the
simple reason that farmers will keep
on re-seeding their land with crop
seeds containing weed seeds, rather
than pay little more for pure seed.
