SUGGESTIONS AS TO
STORAGE PROBLEMS
in THE HOME MADE

Adequate storage facilities for
clothes, cooking utensils, cleaning
supplies, medicines, and other
household articles add to the con-
venience of a home.
The fundamental principles for
good storage, according to Paul
inc Gordon, home management
specialist of the State college eX-
tension service, are:
Articles should be stored at OF
close to the places where they
are used. Articles should be Stor-
ed i'm such a way that each may
be removed without handling any
other article.
The storage space should fit
the size and shape of the articles
to be stored, and should also be
in keeping with the size of the
person who uses the articles most.
Closets, wardrobeS, pantries,
porches, atticS. and cellars are
among the storage places that can
be put to good use, Miss Gordon
said. Only seldom used articles. of
course, should be put in the attic.
Shelves, book cases, shoe racks,
window-seat storage units, chests
of drawers, are u decided help in
storing things conveniently and
attractively.
Some of these things that can
be made at home are well suited
for Christmas presents, Miss. Cor
don added as suggestion for
those who are puzzhng over their
Christmas lists.

Are Usually Confined and
Lack of Certain Foods

Assistant County Agent

OF all the classes of livestock
on the farm. :he"" are none so
improperly fed as swine. Farmers
i'm general think that corn or
shorts alone are sufficient for
hogs, but they are badly mis-
taken in the idea. Since hogs are
usually confined 10 very small!
area. they do not have access to
pasture which would materially
help to balance the ration. Corn
and ordinary kitchen Slop alone
do not have the proper kind OF
protcinS. Ii is true that corn has
about 20 percent protein, but this
is not composed Of the proper
kinds of amino acids. Neither
does corn alone have the proper
amount of mineral matter. Many
brood sows and pigs with broken
down backs are caused by not
getting enough calcium, phoS-
phoruS and salt.
The most economical method OF
feeding hogs is by use of the
selffeeder. This is built with
two compartments. Shelled corn
is placed in one compartment

TERRACING AND SUBSOILING
SAVE SOIL, PRESERVE WATER

crops.
Most Of the terraces built by
the average farmer are laid out
by cycSight and lose too much
fall. As Il result, the flow lines
soon form small gullicS showing
that Il large amount of soil is still
being washed from the field. In
experiments conducted at the
StateSvillc experiment station il
was found that terraces with open
outlets and no fall lost 2jj tons
Of soil per acre annually, while
terraces with four icnhcs fall in
100 feet lost four and onr-half
tons per acre, and those with SiN
inches fall per 100 feet lost 10
tons annually. This data proves
that terraces should never have
more than six inches fal lin 100
feet.
Some farmers do not like ter
racing because il makes the land
harder to get over with machln-
cry. For these farmers SubSoiling
is good alternate, but il should
be- remembered that properly
built terraces that are well cared
for are a permanent improve
mcnt. while SubSoiling should be-
done every four or five years.
However, Subsoiling is one OF the
best means known in helping To
store up water in the soil for
drOuthS and at the same time pre-
venting large amount of GRO
sion.
Land SubSoilcd i'm Guilford
county last year produced 10
bushels more wheat per acre than
the plotd that was not SUBSIDIZED.
Farmers who bear in mind that
tcrracing and Subsoilng have two
advantages. First, they prevent
soil erosion. and. second. they
aid in conserving soil water that
is SO vital to good crop produc-
ton.
Farmers wishing to have either
of the above two methods of cro-
sion control may apply at the

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Nov. SO.-Rcscarch work to help
Brushy Mountain fruit growers
produce a better and more profit
able crop of apples Is soon to be
started by the y. c. Agricultural

This area. said VI. +. Gardner,
of State College. is capable of pro-
ducing some of the finest apples
that can DC grown anywhere in
the United States, land we want
10 help growers there make the
most of their splendid opportuni-
ties"
Among the main problems to
be attached are; Finding a Solu-
ton for controlling insects and
disease prevalent in the region,
determining what cultural prac-
tees will give the best results, and
finding what apple varieties are
best suited 20 that section.
Land has been decided 10 State

apple research in the Brushy
Mountains during the 1878 BIZ
ennium. Plans for the laboratory
have been completed, and con-

In charge of the field work will
be Carl +. Van Deman. who has

Stabilized Farm
Prices Help To
Balance Crops

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh.
Nov. 30.-StabilizinC agricultural
prices at a fair level makes 1t
possible for the farmer to follow
a balanced cropping system that
conserves the soil.
There is a direct relation be-
tween the up and down price of
farm commodities and the care
that is given the soil, said +. Y.
Floyd, of State College.
When prices are ruinously low,
he said, farmers tend to grow all
the cash they can in an effort 70
wrest a living from the land. They
are virtually forced TO keep every
possible acre in cash crops.
And under the pinch of low
income, few farmers are able to
carry out the good practices nee
essary 10 enrich the soil and con-
serve il for future years.
Thus low prices work IN two
WAYS to force a type of farming
that rapidly depletes the soil, Mr..
FLOYD pointed out.
On the other hand, high prices
induce farmers to raise all the
cash crops they can IN their desire
TO make money while the making
is good. And farmers tend to neg
lect their soil.
In places. the custom Of grow
ing cash crops year after year
with few soil-building crops IN ro-
tation or as a cover crop has so
reduced the fertility OF the land
that il is impossible to make a
decent living farming this land,
he continued.
The 1888 agricultural conserva-
ton program. he said, is intended
10 stabilize prices ut a level that
will encourage farmers 70 carry
out good soil-conserving practices
and check the wastegul depletion
Of the land.

BY d. w. BENNETT
Assistant County Agent

OF all the mechanical means OF
soil erosion control and water
conservation there are none so
important as terracing and sub
Soiling the land.
Of the two mentioned, prob
ably tcrracing is the most popu-
lar. Among the different kinds
of water diversion bitches built,
the broad base mangum terrace
is the most important. This type
Of terrace is about 20 feet wide
and 20 inches high. The height.
of course, means the vertical
height from the bottom Of the
flow line to the crown Of the ter
race.
There are two types of mangum
terraces. One is called the uni
form grade terrace and the other
a variable grade terrace. The
uniform grade terrace has the
same fall the entire length Of
the terrace. while the variable
grade terrace starts ut the head
with practically no fail in the
flow line for the first 100 feet TO
as much as five inches in 1000
feet if it is IL or Is hundred feet
in length. OF the two types, the
variable grade terrace is most de-
Sirablc because il carries tn"
water off at Il more uniform
rate. allowing the water To soak
into the soil. and does not allow
the water to break across the
terrace as badly aS when the
water is allowed to flow at Il uni
form rate.
The distance Of spacing the
terraces apart depends on the
slope of the land. The vertical
drop between the terraces ranges
from two and on"-half feet on
gentle slopes to as much as seven
feet on slopes with Ii feet drops
in 100 feet. however, land should
not be terlaccd with more than
Is feet drop in 100 feet. Land
with more fall than this should
not be cultivated but put in sod
