Farmers Urged
To Raise Work
Stock In Near
Farmers Spend About Million
Dollars Yearly For Work
Stock. Big Decrease.

Commercially-bred horses anc
mules cost more now than at any
time since the World War, anc
their cost will probably continue
to rise for the next ten years
says Fred M. Haig, professor Of
enimal husbandry at State Col
lege. This is because the death
losses of horses and mules each
year in the United States is more
than one million head, and for
the past five years the production
of colts has been only 100000 a
year.
In North Carolina the number
of horses and mules has decreased
from 421, 900 in 1925 to $4,000 at
the present time. This is a seri-
Gus situation, but there is a solu-
ton to it, Haig says. His sugges-
ton is this:
Estimating the cost of animals
at 5000 per head, our farmers
must spend $1,000,0O0 each year
to buy work stock requirements.
This drain upon the agriculture
of the state can be avoided by
raising work stock on our farms.
Much land has been released
from cultivation by reduction OF
acreage heretofore planted in
cotton and tobacco. This land
could be proftably utilized in the
production of feed crops for work
animals. 1t requires approx
mately four acres to produce the
necessary feed for a horse or
mule for one year.
The production of one or two
colts on the farm is strictly a
non-cash cost, provided the ami
mails are raised as sidellne to
the general system of farming.
No farmer can afford to keep
mares in idleness solely for the
production of horse or mule colts.
The mare must be required to do
her share of the work on the
farm and in addition, produce a
colt each year.

Farm Questions
A n q Answers

QUESTION: How long must a
hog be kept from feed before
killing?
ANSWER: Do not give the an
imals any feed at all for "a hours
before killing, but they should
have plenty of water at all times.
It is easier to get a good bleed
when the system is not gorged
with food and the meat always
cures better when the small blood
vessels are free from food par
ticles and blood. The animals
should not be excited or over
heated before killing as this pro-
duces a feverish condition and
GAUGES the meat to sour while in
cure.

The city of Sidney, Australia,
is enjoying a building boom. Over
8 million dollars are involved in
major building projects in Sid
ney proper, while more than half
as much is going into suburban
construction. Back in the days of
the depression Australia decided
upon a plan of rigid economy as
a means of ending the country's
building slump. At the about
same time another great Anglo
Saxon nation began a spending
program to gain the same end,
calling it, Pump printing. 1t
It would be interesting to COM

Deaths from traffic accidents in
the United States have been sub
stantially reduced for the first
nine months of 1888 as compared
with corresponding months of
1887. Chicago stood first among
the cities for safety improvement
with Detroit second. America
has sustained more deaths from
traffic accidents than from wars
Railroad safety men have almost
eliminated danger in travelling by
train; highway authorities can
follow the example of the rail-
roads and save human lives.

they are so cured as to retain
their green color. Alfalfa leaf
meal, if a bright green color,
makes a satisfactory green feed,
but should not constitute more
than ten per cent of the mash.
Where the hays are used, they
should be fed in racks as the
birds will eat only the leaves and
the stems can then be thrown in
the litter. Of the feed mentioned,
green alfalfa hay is the most sat-
isfactory.

QUESTION: Is too late to cut
lespedeza for seed?
ANSWER: No. The Common,
Tennessee rs, and Kobe varieties
may be cut just after the first
hard frost, but the Korean varie-
ty should be cut as soon after o.
tober l as possible. After cutting
the Korean is left in the barn or
stacks for a few weeks and the
seed are then threshed out with
a grain separator. Seed from all
other varieties are harvested with

straw is very valuable as a rough
age, it should be left on the land
for soil improvement where pos

SASSCER EYES
GAMBR|LL POST

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Dec.
21.-Lansdale SaSscer, president
of the Maryland State senate, may
run in the special election for the
congressional seat vacated by the
death Of Representative Stephen
w. Gambrill. according to reports
here.
Nomination of Senator Sasscer
by the Democratic party is vir-
tually certain if he desires to ac-
cept 1t, political observers believe
not only because Of his power in
Southern Maryland but also be-
cause he is more than likely to be
backed by the State machine
which elected Herbert OConnor as
governor in November.
Governor-elect O'Conor's nomina-
ton was clinched when Senator
SasScer threw his seven Prince
Georges county votes the right
way" in the State convention.
Senator SaSscer is reported to
be weighing his decision. If he
believes the Congressional seat will
improve his political chances in
1940, friends say, he may run.
Otherwise he may be reluctant to
take a position that might inter
fere with his large law practice.
