GRAzES DAIRY COWS
AT ABOUT HALF OF
THE AVERAGE COST

COLLEGE STATION, RA-
LEIGH, April 2l.--The cost of
producing milk at IverShiel, the
farm of Hugh McRae near Rocky
Point, is much lower than the av-
cragc for all good dairy herds in
the state.
This is due largely to the sue
ccssful system Of grazing that
McRac has developed, said John
A. Arey, extension dairy special
list at State college, .
Soybeans, Sudan grass, cereals,
and cloverS arc the principal crops
used. BY II succession of plant
ings, grazing: is supplied most of
the year, thereby making it un-
necessary to harvest and store
the large quantity Of feed that
| otherwise would be needed for
winter. -. .... @.
The result is that McRae's feed
costs per 100 pounds of milk are
about half the average for the
dairy herd Improvement associa-
ton herds over the state.

Tells Best Use OF
.Superph
Provided By IVA

COLLEGE STATION, RAJ
LEIGH, April 21.-The triple su-
perphosphate manufactured by the
iva will give better results when
mixed with ground dolomitic
limestone, said l.. G.. Willis, soil
chemist Of the N. G. Agricultural
Experiment Station.
This highly concentrated super
phosphate is hard to distribute
evenly. ne said, but when diluted
with limestone it can be applied
with the desired uniformity.
The dolomitic limestone also in
crcascS the efficiency Of the Dhos-
phatc ,neutraliZcS soil acidity,
and supplies the calcium and
magnesium that are so generally
deficient IN some North Carolina
soils, Willis pointed out.
He advised that usually three
parts of limestone should be used
to one part Of triple superphos.
phatc, but the proportions should
vary according to the condition
Of the soil on which the mixture
is to be applied.
If a wet grade of limestone is
used, some Jumps will form in the
miturc, but they ca nbe broken
easily, especially if the pile of SUI
pcrphosphatc and limestone is
shovcled over occasionally, Willis
stated.
The chemical reaction will take
up the water in the lime, leaving
dry product in excellent me-
chanical condition from which the
limestone and phosphate will not
separate.
Dry ground limestone may be
used as well as the wet, but it
will make a better product if the
mixture is dampencd with water.
There is no reason to believe
that the limestone causes any re-
action that makes the phosphate
less available To plants. Willis
stated.

SAY HORTICULTURAL CROPS
PROVIDE STATES GROWERS
WITH OVER $4,000, 600 INCOME

COLLEGE STATION, RA,
LEIGH, April 2l.-The annual
income from horticultural crops
in North Carolina is more than
s5O,00O,0OO.
According to Prof. NJ. E. Gard
ner, head of the horticultural de-
partment at State college, avail
able statistics show this amount IS
divided as follows:
Vegetables, $42,38G, 900; fruits.
$7,042,000; floral crops, $54l,-
900; and nuts. $4,000.
These figures do not include
the local sale of products, or truck
shipments of certain commodities,
on which no figures are available,
Professor Gardner said.
The natural advantages for
producing horticultural crops in
North Carolina are almost unlinl-
tied, he continued, and the COM
plex topography, varying climate,
and numerous soil types make
possible the production of a wide
range Of fruits and vegetables.
a recent survey of native fruit
bearing plants in the state listed
more than $50 different species.
Eve are greatly endowed with
natural advantages. the profess
sOr pointed out, "but we need
more cooperation in building q
great and sound horticultural in
dustry.
Fruit and produce must be
merchandised rather than dump
ed on the market. This calls for
greater attention to grades and
standards, pest control, and in
tensivc cultural and soil manage
ment methods.
CLOSER cooperation would solve
many marketing poblems and at
the same time save growers mon
ey by the purchase of seed, fed
containers, implements,
and othes necessities in volume.
1T would also mean that stand
ard brands could be placed on To-
cal and distant markets and this
would lead to repeat orders, and
establish a reputation for quality
products. -
