GRAIN CROP
URGED FOR PENDER
Would Provide Balanced
System OF Cash Crops,
Livestock Farming

Pender county farmers should
plant more small grain in an effort
to bring about a better balanced
system Of cash crops and livestock
farming, says B, j. Grady. teacher
of agriculture at Long Creek school.
The small grains, wheat, rye, oats.
and barley, grow and yield abund-
antly in Eastern North Carolina,
Grady says, usually making higher
yields than in other sections Of the
state.
1.-The level and gently rolling lands
of Fender county are well suited for
machinery needed in harvesting the
grains, and with combines being
placed in many sections of the coun-
ty, even the smaller farmers can
grow a few acres of small grain.
"Then, too small grain promotes
the growing of lespedeza, as these
crops may be grown together on
the same land. This combination can
do much to bring about a well bal.
anced system of cash crop and live
stock farming" he says.
Any information needed for this
production of small grain crops in
Pender county can be obtained from
the county agents office or from
any of the four vocational asricul-
ture departments in the county.
