TIME FOR WORK SHEET
SIGN-UP IS EXTENDED

An extension of time has been
granted North Carolina farmers for
filling out and signing work sheets
under the new farm program.
Over most of the State, said
Dean l. O.. Schaub, of State Col
lege, the time limit for field work
ers to sign up farmers expired May
81, but farmers will be allowed to
sign work sheets in their county
agents office during the first weeks
in June.
In the mountain counties, both
agents and field workers will con-
tinue the sign = up campaign thru
June 20.
Certain misunderstanding re-
garding the new program have
tended to handicap the sign-up, the
dean explained, with the result that
it was not completed on schedule.
The work sheets do not obligate
farmers in any way, Dean Schaub
emphasized. They do not compel
farmers to comply with the pro-
gram, but they must be signed by

NEW FARM
NOW HEARD OVER WBT

l A new series of fran radio pro-
grams, sponsored jointly by the
State College Extension Service and
the Soil Conservation Service, is
now being heard over the Column
bia Broadcasting Systems 10000
watt station WBT in Charlotte
three times a week.
Each Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday at 1915 p. m. these
brbadcasts of timely farm and home
information are aired. For the most
part, uounty and home agents of
the Extension Service and specia-
lists of the Soil Conservation Ser
vice are heard in discussions Of sea-
sonabIe interest to the farm people
of North Carolina.
Forney Rankin, Of the SCS, is
spokesman for the two agricultur-
al agencies and in addition to ar
ranging for speakess, he presents
several news items of general inter-
est on each broadcast.
The farm agent Of Mecklenburs
County, Oicar H. Phillips, and the
home agent. Mrs. Pauline W. Tay-
lor, are heard once each week.
Other county and home agents will
be brought in to appear on the pro-
gram from time to time.
Already reports received indicate
that the new program is gaining
wide favbr with the farm people Of
this State. Many inquiries are re-
ceived after each broadcast. Both
wBT officials and representatives
of the two agricultural agencies are
pleased with the response received.
The new program is not the same
as the Carolina Farm Features
broadcast, a presentation Of the
Extension Service at State College,
and heard over six stations each
week day.

all who wish to secure soil-lonserv-
ing or soil building Payments.
The severe drouth this spring
has undoubtedly hurt crops in
North Carolina, he pointed out,
and most farmers will find these
payments a helpful form of crop
~incurance. When a farmer carries
out the practices for which pay
ments are offered, he will receive
his payments regardless of the ef-
feet of dry weather on his crops.
The work sheets will be used in
checking each growers compliance
with the PROGRAM to determine the
amount of his payments. The work
of checking compliance will start
soon, the dean said, and farmers
who have not signed work sheet.
by that time will not be eligible
for payments.
So far, 100000 or More work
sheets have been signed in North
Carolina. A total sign-up of $780,
900 is expected. Some countie:
have already signed up more thar
80 per cent of their acreage.

EROSION CONTROL Measure
INVITE VALUABLE BIRDS

The value of the robin and blue
bird as the farmers friend has been
proven by experimentation show
ing these birds more than earn the
few fruits they steal from the far
mer's orchard, according to S. z.
Pollock, junior biologist of the Soil
Conservation Service.
Experiments conducted by the
u. S. Bureau of Biological Survey,
using 1886 stomachs of robins show
that AZ percent of the robins food
is animal matter; 16 percent BEETLES
5 percent grasshoppers; 9 percent
caterpillars, and IL percent various
insects.
In the experiment using 244
sdomachs of bluebirds it was found
that the contents were 1881 per-
cent animal matter and 41.49 per-
cent vegetable, demonstrating that
the bluebbird is of economic as
we'll as aesthetic value, said Pol
lock.
Where wild food is not abundant,
a few fruit-bearing shrubs and vines
planted in favorable locations will
serve the triple-purpose of control
ling erosion, providing ornamental
ton, and furnishing food and COW
er for the robin and other valuable
birds fond of purDoining the fruit
of the cherry. wildgrape, green
briar, holly, elder, dogwood, service
berries, and persimmons.

FRIDAY, JUNE II, 1885
SUDAN GRASS AND MILLET
YIELD SUMMER HAY CROPS

Thousands of North Carolina
farmers face a serious shortage of
grazing and early hay crops this
summer as a result of the hot, dry
weather this year.
However, if the drouth is
broken any time soon the situation
can be remedied by planting rapid
growing hay crops, said P. H. Kline,
plant breeding agronbmist at the
N. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station.
Sudan grass and millet grow rap
idly and are usually ready to cut
in As to 50 days after planting.
They give good yields Of palatable
hay, and will grow on a wide range
of soil types, Kline pointed out.
Sudan grass, best adapted to loan
or sandy loan soils, should be seed
ed at the rate of Is to 40 pounds
per acre, drilled in OR broadcast,
and covered to a depth of one-half
to lone inch. The amount of seed
to use depends upon the fertility of
the soil.
When the seed heads begin to
show, the grass is ready to cut.
The hay will be tender, leafy, and
nutritious, and will cure easily.
German millet, or Golden mil
let, gives larger yields than the
other barieties, but the hay is rath-
er course. 1t requires a fertile soil
and plenty Of moister.
Commos millet is more hardy
than German millet, although it
produces a smaller growth. 1t
makes a better quality hay, and is
more suitable for thin, dry soils.
Millet should be seeded like Su-
dan grass. When the heads are
about one-fourth out of the boots
about so to 80 days after plant
ing, it is ready for cutting. I'm
less mixed with other hay, millet
should not be fed continuously to
work animals.

AND GIRLS LIKE TO
HAVE DEFINITE PROJECTS

The farm boy or girl who has
definite projects to look after will
gain a great deal of valuable ex-
%perience, take a greater interest in
farm life, and develop finer traits
of character, said DR.. R. Y. Win
tiers, director of the N. c. Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
Now that schools and colleges
have closed and thousand Of boys
and girls are on the farm for the
summer, he continued, the assign
ment of projects to these young
people will help solve a difficult
problem.
1--WE sometimes lose sight Of the
opportunities afforded on the farm
for training young people and de-
veloping in them a sense of respon-
sibility," DR.. Winters stated.
"Often parents do not have
enaugh patience to train their
children as they should. The chill
dren, in turn, lose interest in the
farm and home, often p%referrine
to work elsewhere, even though the
Jobs are hard and the pay small.
But this summer the possibilities
for outside employment are not SC
good, and the parents have an e1-
cellent opportunity to give thelr
children tasks to do, or projects tc
carry out, that will make them
feel that they are accomplishing
something worth while"
Projects in boys and girls All
club work provide a good medium
for training young people and keep
ing their enthusiasm alive, DR.
Winters continued.
The older the boy or girl, the
greater the responsibility he il
capable of assuming. If the inter
est of older children is to be held
they must be given duties worthy
of their ability, DR.. Winters said
They like to study and make plans
to feel that they are on their own

Q. How soon should one start
to get animals ready for fairs this
fall?
A. Farmers who plan to enter
animals in fairs this fall should be-
gin preparations eight to ten weeks
before the animals are 10 go in the
show ring. Dairy cattle should be
in good flesh, but not too fat or
too lean. Clip the hair about eight
weeks before fair time, then wash
and keep the animal blanketed
constantly. Begin POLISHING the
horns several days before the exhi-
bition date with pumice with sweet
oil. 1t is also important to teach
the animal to stand and walk pro-
perly.

Timely Questions

My cows are eating a weed which
imparts a bitter flavor to the milk.
Is there any way of overcoming
this flavor?
A. 1t is evident that the cows
are consuming bitter weed which is
very prevalent in eastern North
Carolina pastures. This weed i'm
parts a distinctly bitter flavor to
milk-one which is very objection
able and which cannot be removed
by processing. The best remedy
for this trouble is to remove the
weed from the pasture either by
pulling or digging it up. By TAX
ing the COW off the pasture at least
six or seven hours before milking
time and give her some dry feed
may help in eliminating this trou-
Bile, but it will not entirely over
come the flavor.

u. S. Government
Spent Twice Its
Income In 1885

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. (UP)
Expenditures Of the federal gov
ernment during 1885 were APP
proximately double it's income and
S e t another record, year-end
treasury figures showed Friday.
The full year 1885, represent
ing the laft half of the 1885 fls-
cal year and the first half of the
1886 fiscal year. saw the treasury
spend 1852. 467,954 and collect
S3,S57,394.194 in revenues. This
left a deficit for the period of
S3,755.O73,76O, which was met
either by borrowing or by draft
on the treasury's cash and bank
deposit.
On a per capita basis the fed
eral government spent in 1885
approximately $50 for every man,
woman and child in the country;
collected in revenues, mostly from
taxes, $50 per person and Dor
rowed nearly $50 per person to
make up the difference.
For the full 1886 fiscal year
ended June so, next, of which
half already has elapsed, Presi-
dent Roosevelt set expenditures
at S4.47O,349,14O and the deficit
lat S3,281,9S2,S60. On the basis
of results of the first half of the
fiscal year, expenditures are run
ming about as expected but re-
venues are tagging largely be-
cause of the S2OO,000,O00 drop in
processing tax collections.
Because the government in 1885
was forced to borrow large sums
of money to make up the deficit,
the gross public debt was pushed
to another all-time record high of
S3O,557, 324,O6 at the end of De-
cember, 1895, from S28,47S,663,-
925 at the end of December 1884,
gain of more than $4,000, 00O,-
900.
