CIVIC AUDITORIUM
HERE IS SPROPOSED
Board of Trade Committee
Believes Convention BuSi-
, ness Would Double.

Efforts will be made to secure for
Washington a civic auditorium which
would about double the city's con-
vention business, it was decided late
yesterday at an organization meeting
Of the Washington Board of Trades
Public and Private Buildings Com
mtttee.
Committee members estimated an
auditorium with seating capacity of
10000 would make 1t possible to OBJ
tain for the Capital more than 80 ad-
ditional large conventions and that q
minimum of 175,000 more delegates
could be attracted. The increased con-
vention business would produce ex-
penditure in the city of an additional
Sl400O,000 annually, it was estimated.
Melvin c. Sharpe was named chair
man of an auditorium subcommittee
with instructions to report to the full
committee on how such building
may be obtained. Constitution Hall,
now used for the larger convention,
seats only about 1000, Arthur B.
Heaton, committee chairman, pointed
out.
The National Christian Endeavor
Society and the American Medical
Association were mentioned among
the large groups which might hold
conventions here if big municipal
auditorium were constructed.
Robert Beresford was appointed
chairman of a subcommittee to work
for alley clearance. John Ihlders,
Alley Authority director, outlined to
the committee the status of alley
improvement projects.

water it can absorb and feed into

terials for making this woods mold
and thereby lessons spring flow.
Questions:-Should cows be MIXED
before freshening?
Answer:-In the majority of cases
no milk should be taken before the
animal freshens. However, there are
some cases where this is necessary.
When the. udder becomes inflamed or
where the animal shows signs of
heavy milk production and seems to
re in pain it is we'll to remove a
small amount of milk so as to relieve
this condition. Calves need this colos-
rum or first milk and, where posi-
bic, it should not be removed unless
there is another cow freshening at
the same time from which the calf
may secure this first milk.

Prepare Now for Spring

Temporary grazing crops, sown
this fall, will provide cattle with good
economical feed next spring at time
when the permanent pasture is not in
condition for grazing.
On many farms over the State, the
supply of silage and hay gets low in
March, with the result that cows are
turned into the permanent pasture
around April /.
At this season the grass is short,
watery, and low in nutritional value,
sal ohm A. Arey, extension dairy
spe> ;st at State College. The sod
is also vet from winter rains and is
easily cut by the hoofs of cattle.
For this reason, Arey pointed out,
cows should be kept off the perma-
nent pasture until it has made good
growth and the sod has become firm.
Hence, the need for temporary graz
ing crops or an adequate supply of
silage.
On farms where the soil is mostly
clay, he added, the fields are easily
damaged by early grazing and silage
should be, fed the cattle until the sod
is firm and the permanent pasture
grasses are more mature.
For an early grazing crop, Arey
said there are several seed mixtures
that are good. He recommended q
half-and-half mixture of abruzzi rye
and lariey sown at the rate of four
bushels to the acre.
By adding 10 pounds of crimson
clover seed to each acre, he contin-
ued, the quality of this grazing will
be improved great deal.
Seeding should he done about the
middle of September on fertile soil
to which 400 pounds of a good ferti-
lizer has been applied to the acre.
One acre of pasture will be enough
for two cows.

Fertilizing Grain Pays
Good Profits

Fertilizer applied to small grains
will return a good profit to the
farmer ,,hen the crop sells for any
thing like a fair price.
Experiments conducted with wheat
at the Piedmont branch station near
Statesville have definitely proved the
casN value of good fertilizer, said C.
B. Williams, head of the State Col
lege agronomy department.
Over a period of II years it was
found that when 200 pounds of good
fertilizer were applied to the acre,
the increased yield over the non-fer-
tilted fields paid for the fertilizer
and gave an average extra profit Of
$3.50 per acre.
When 400 pounds were applied, the
extra profit was $14.32 above fer
tilizet costs. A Compounds application
produced a gain of $15.42, and an
SO0-pound application gave profit
OIL p1 LOO du acre dUOEC Tile COSG VI
the fertilizer.
The exact amount of the gain to
be derived from fertilization depends,
of course, upon the individual farm
er's soil, weather conditions, cost Of
production, and price of grain on the
market, Professor Williams pointed
out.
On average Cecile clay or clay loan
soils o. the Piedmont area, he recon-
mended a fertilizer mixture contain
ing 10 percent available phosphroic
acid, percent nitrogen, and 4 per-
cent potash. From 800 to 400 pounds
per acre should be applied when the
crops are seeded. @
Where the soil is good, or where
it has been fortified with manure, or
where legumes have been plowed I'M
der, tie percentage Of nitrogen in the
mixture may be reduced or even left
out. Piedmont soils in average con-
dition need at least percent nitro
gen. he added.

with good prices prevailing, bank de-

Leinbach.
"By the end of 1885 believe there
will be at least $15O,OOO,OOO that
could properly be used in making
additional loans. A few of our banks
are experiencing a satisfactory de-
mand for additional local loans in
moving crops and for other purposes,
but this is not the case with the
great majority of institutions whose
greatest problem continues to be the
profitable employment of their
funds"

Timely Farm Questions Answered
at State College


at State College
Question:-How can | renew my
old, rundown pasture?
Answer:-All weeds and shrubbery
should be cut out and the soil scratch
ed to a depth of 2 or 3 inches. This
may be done with a heavy spike-tooth
harrow or with a disc set almost
straight so as not to destroy the old
sod. Fertilizer and seed are then
sown. However, if the pasture is bad
ly infesv led with obnoxious weeds it
is advisable to break the land and
grow some crop before reseeding for
pasture. Recommendation for ferti-
lie and seed mixtures for various
soils are containing in Extension Cir
cular No. 202 and copies may be
obtained free upon application to

Question:-Will burning off woods
increase the flow of water in

practice will decrease the spring flow.
