QUESTION: What proportions
of minerals should be added to
the ration of laying hens?
ANSWER: The usual mineral
feeds are bone meal, oyster shell
or ground limestone, salt and
grit. Of these, the oyster shell or
ground limestone and girt are
kept before the birds at all
times. The oyster shell supplies
calcium while the grit is an aid
in grinding the feed. The other
minerals are added to the laying
mash. One percent of. steamed
bone meal is added to the mash
as a source of calcium and phos-
phorous. The salt is added at the
rate of one pound to each 100
pounds of mash and is used as a
source of sodium and chlorine.

Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: When should hay
feeding begin with young calf?
ANSWER: Hay should be fed
to the young calf about the same
time as the feeding of grain. On
account of the laxative nature of
alfalfa it is best to use a clean
bright mixture hay for the first
three or four weeks. Feed the hay
sparingly at first and gradually
increase the allowance as the calf
becomes used to it. Be sure that
the hay is not soiled as this kind
of hay often causes scours. It is
best not to feed any grass before
the calf is five months of age, but
after that time a good pasture
will furnish a satisfactory rough
age.
QUESTION: What variety of
soybeans is best for hay?
ANSWER: The fine stemmed
varieties make the best hay and
these include the Otootan for the
coastal plain section, the Lare-
do in the piedmont, and Virginia
for the mountain section. When
other varieties are used, they
should be sown very thickly to
reduce the size of the stems. Do
not cover the seed over one inch
deep when planting. In the Noun
tain and Coastal Plain sections,
soybean hay should be cultivated
in rows or the weeds may choke

This Sunday is Fathers Day, according
to the calendar, but we are little skepti-
cal about any wide or universal observance
of this occasion. Of course there are some
Fathers who do not deserve any special
displays of gratitude and affection, while
there are others who have earned the right
to have every day labelled as Fathers
Day..

A building is just as strong as
the Sturdiness of the foundation
upon which it is built. So it is
with the All Program, it's
strength is determined by the
place it takes, or the part it has
in the every day life habits of
the farm boy and girl, and as has
been said many many times the
club member gets out of the All
Program directly in proportion
to what he puts into it.
The financial independence is
one of the most needed of all hu-
man endeavors and he who has
financial independence is a. bet
ter citizen is one of the first les
sons learned by the Club men,
bers. The project activity is the
economic foundation of the All
program and through it boys and
girls are taught the value and
absolute importance of earning
an honest living and also demon
strate the truth that honest labor
is rewarded and that it is honor
able and absolutely necessary for
success.
In rechecking these detectives
with approximately $4,000 North
Carolina farm boys and girls the
program adjusts or adopts itself
to fit the needs of the members
as may be seen by the All Dem
onstration were walnut bulls
have been made into attractive
and valuable buttons, corn shucks
made into dolls, toys and useable
and valuable hats. The lowly pea
nut into prosperity and land own
ership, turnip greens and toma-
toes to sizeable large cash in
come, pepper, cabbage, cucum-
bers and other articles are just
few of the examples of how a
large program adapts itself to fit
the needs of the club member
and in doing this the program
has not over looked the so called
major activities. In crop demon
STATIONS the members are taught
the practical method of doing
himself Corn Club members for
example have during the past
two years more than doubled the
State average yield and at the
same time better practices in ag-
riculture have been taught, mar
keting and grading have been
given consideration.
A comfortable, convenient
home life is one of the first es-
sentials to good citizenship. The
All program is teaching the farm
girls the essential fundamentals
of home making as it relates to
foods and nutrition, food prepa-
ration, courtesy in the home,
room improvement, clothing,
home management entertainment
In the home and home beautifi-
cation.
All club members are taught
the value of wildlife conserva-
ton, home Identification and
health through state wide activi-
ties. There are many other val
liable phases of All clubs to be
discussed in future issues but the
All Demonstration or Project &C.
tivity is the foundation of the All
program, and the stronger we as
Al Club members build this
foundation the greater will be
our success and the more impor-
tant the All organization.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 3d.
The pitfalls of tradition, mud and

Tennessee's mighty Volunteers, who
crashed through Vanderbilt, 20 to 0,
to complete their third successive
perfect season and shut the lid on
an invitation for post-season game
in the New Orleans Sugar Bowl.
Some 2l,000 rain-drenched spec

the Vols crush their most ancient foe
convincingly and win undisputed
championship of the Southeastern
Conference.
The Commodores, who last de-
feated Tennessee, 13 to 7. in regu-

had, but it wasn't enough to cope
with the most powerful running at

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Even Ford
hams favorite ink couldn't keep the
Rams from leaping into the football
bowl today.
Boosting as powerful a set of
backs, led by stocky Steve Filipowicz,
as they ever have enjoyed, the foot
ballers from Rose Hill mopped up
the Yankee Stadium's muddy grid
iron with their old neighborhood
rival, New York University, rs to 0,
and Immediately accepted a bid to
the Cotton Bowl game at Dallas on
New Year Day.
-Four years ago New York's Vio-
lets grew up to oak tree size, upset
the Rams and kicked them right out
of the Rose Bowl. Today, the Vio-
lets were wilted and the Rams
showed both N. Y. U. and $4,000 Gus
toners they had both barrels loaded
They had been expected to take the
Orange Bowl bid. but Graduate
Manager Jack Coffey announced it
would be Dallas instead.
Three Scores Nullified.
They scored only 26 points, but it
might as well have been Al. The
Rams classy backs, notably barrel
chested Steve Filipowicz, did about
as they pleased all afternoon Not
only did they score four touchdowns.
but they crossed the whiting Violet
goal line on three other occasions
only to have the microscopic" eye
of Referee E. H. Heintz detect q
back in motion illegally and call the
scoring play back.
Although lightning Len" Esh-
mont and Jerry Blumenstock were
the harder runners in Fordham's
crack backfield quartet today, Flip
owicz did everything and did it so
well sports writer's voted him the
most valuable" man in the election
which annually follows the get-to-
gether of Pa Knickerbocker's foot
balling sons.
Sophomore Steve-the first sopho-
more to win the award, incidentally
scored three of the Fordham
touchdOwns and passed for a fourth.
Built close to the ground and about
as solid as cement post, he was
the big man of the afternoon.
Filip0wicz Gets Going.
This was the 22nd renewal of the
series, and it is doubtful if ever be-
fore one team so outclassed the
other in this get-together. Fordham
piled UP Is first downs to seven and
318 yards rushing to IS.
Fordham had its first touchdown
five minutes after the game started
and from there on it was just ques-
tion of how large the score would be
before the IS 900 fans went home
A poor N. Y. U. kick set up the
first Fordham score, with Fordham
taking it on the Violet 81. On fake
pass, play Steve used as his own
personal pet all day, Filipowicz
swept his own right end for 20 yards
and then hit hole in the middle Of
the line for the touchdown.
In the second period, after Ford
ham recovered an N. Y. U. tumble on
the Violet co. Filipowicz scored again
from the S. The three nullif1ed
touchdowns also came in this period.
Two were on passes by Filipowicz
and the third on a buck by Blumen-
