breed, will be spotlighted at the an
nual session along with Bob Lush,
pasture specialist of the National
Fertilizer association.
Last years meeting was held in
Gastonia and attracted approx
mately 100 Jersey men from all sec.
tons of the state. The Burlington

Money expenditures for food
dropped steadily as the home pro.

lilies produced more than $4OO worth
of food on the farm and spent only
about $3.50 for food. At the other

about 500 worth of food and bought
about 5000 worth.

Treatment OF Cotton
Seed Is Paying Good
Dividends In State

RALEIGH, Feb. 18.-Treating
cotton seed to prevent bacterial
and fungus diseases that attack
young seedlings is paying good
returns in North Carolina, DIR.
Luther Shaw, plant pathologist
of the State college extension
service, sid today.
From experience, every cototn
farmer knows how important 1t
is to get a good stand from the
first planting, DIR. Shaw stated,
and then get the plants off to a
good start. This is one of the
first battles in the war against
the boil weevil.
North Carolina farmers in ill.,
creasing numbers have adopted
the practice of treating their
cotton seed with ethyl mercury
chloride or ethyl mercury phos-
phate dust before planting in the
past several years. Other .dusts
are now on the market for treat
ing cotton seed, but they have
not been tested sufficiently to be
recommended.
The cost of treatment ranges
from IL to rs cents an acre, al
lowing five pecks of seed to the
acre.. In some communities, DIR.
Shaw explained, ginners perform
this service for a small fee. In
others, enterprising individuals
have mounted treating machines
OH trucks and worked from farm
to farm, treating seed at a fixed
price.

DAIRY EXPANSION
FIELD is LARGE
Arey Says State Imports Much
Butter, Cheese And Con-
densed Milk
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor,
n. e.. State College

NJ Y. StdlC OOlltSC
RALEIGH, Feb. 1S.-P-There is
still plenty of room for expansion in
the North Carolina dairy market,
John A. Arey, dairyman of the n. c..
State college extension service, said
today.
In fact, he said, it is estimated that
annually there is imported into this
state 5000, 900 pounds of butter, 49,
600, 900 pounds of cheese, and 3d.
000, 900 pounds Of condensed and
evaporated milk.
This year will see tobacco farm
ers in all sections of the state turn
ing to milk cows to supplement their
cash income. Already a market is
available in most Piedmont and
mountain counties for milk to be
manufactured into ice cream, butter,
cheese, and condensed milk, a limit
ed market of this kind is also avail
able in some eastern counties.
Likewise, Arey said, North Caro-
lina's per capita milk consumption
is far too low. The average person
drinking less than a teacupful daily.
This means that the fluid market
could be expanded in this direction.
From a national standpoint the
State college mar said, dairy in.
come is not only the largest received
from any one agricultural enterprise.
but it has the added advantage of
being a monthly income. This in
come is something needed by cash
crop farmers, because the bulk of
their money comes only one time a
year"
However, Arey warned against
jumping in and out of the dairy bust
ness.
1.-The farmer who goes into the
dairy business one year and out the
next will be a failure as a dairyman,"
Arey said. "But the farmer who
keeps only a sufficient number of
cows to consume the ~by-products of
a well-regulated cropping system,
and year by year builds up the pro-
duction of these animals through
good breeding and proper feeding,
will find himself with a profitable
monthly cash income. And he can
do all this without materially in
creasing the farm labor cost or inter-
fering with the usual farming opera
tions."
Dairying. the State college speciai-
ist pointed out, should be entered
into in order to supplement the in
come from cash crops, not as a sub
stitute nor as an emergency meas
ure when prices are low.

Food Production
Offers Twin ADVANTAGE

RALEIGH, Feb. 1S.-The home
production of food offers a two-way
advantage to farm families with
low cash incomes, DR.. I. o. Schaub,
director Of the State college Exten-
sion Service, declared today.
In the first place, DR.. Schaub
said, the production of dairy and
poultry products, fruits, vegetables,
and meat from animals fed and
butchered on the farm usually i'm
proves the family diet, both in quail
ity and in quantity. Then, too, it re-
leases for other purposes money that
would otherwise be paid out for
food.
The State college extension direc-
tor said in a recent survey food
economists of the U. S. department
of agriculture were able to group
"a farm families on the basis of
how much food was produced on the
farm. Each of the families had about
$500 a year to spend for family liv-
ing, and each consisted of a wife
and husband and one child under
16 years of age.

EEL WORM DRIVE
PLANNED IN N. E.
Concerted Effort To Protect
Bulb Industry Will Be
Started Soon
BY LOUIS HI. WILSON
Editor N. &. Department
or o,.flaro

RALEIGH, Feb. 18.-tP-A cons
certed campaign to protect North
Cardinals flower bulb industry from
the ravages of the eel worn will be
launched next month by the ento.
mology division of the state departs
ment of agriculture.
The eel worm is a nematode, a
microscopic worm that attacks the
bulbs and spreads so rapidly that
entire fields are soon destroyed un'
less control methods are employed"
C. H. Brannon, chief Of the depart'
ment's entomology division, ex.
planned.
Were it not for the painstaking.
constant watch of the entomolo-
gists, the commercial bulb industry
of the state would soon be destroyed
by these death-dealing nematodes,"
he added.
Because the eel worm is a small
pest in size, the inspectors must
examine each plant individually for
signs of leaf discoloration which in
dicates nematode infestation. When
~infestation is found, inspectors i'm
mediately order growers to destroy
the plants.
Brannon estimated that six weeks
will be devoted to nematode inspec-
ton, with weather being favorable.
The entomologist declared that 'the
bulb industry is a comparatively new
agricultural venture in North Caro-.
lima and has become firmly estab.
lished in a large section in the vi.
cinity of Castle Hayne." Scattered
commercial paintings are also locat.
ed in several other counties.
"The bulb industry employs hum
dreds of people and has been a well
coined contribution to a state seek
ing a balanced agricultural pro-
gram" Brannon added.
Bulb inspection is not a new serv-
ice of the entomology division, but
greater emphasis is being placed on
a program to totally eliminate the
eel worm much in the manner that
the division has practically eradicat-
ed the costly bulb fly"

Eleazer comments. Better yields
are all that keep us in the cotton
business. Fewer acres, higher yields
per acre, and cheaper cost per
pound form the basis Of profitable
cotton production, as indicated by
the results of this contest"
DARLINGTON, Jan. 2o.-In an

testants in the office Of County
Agent J. M. Napier it was inter-
esting to observe how the profits

poison averaged 5000 per acre;
two farmers who used two appli-

II farmers used three applications
and made an average of $55.23, and

Richland Farmers Fight to Save
Cotton Cr0n

COLUMBIA, Jan. 20.-Richland
county farmers, fighting under
leadership Of County Agent David
r. Hopkins to save their cotton
crop from seed-borne diseases and
the boil weevil, have shown by
their 1899 experiences that it pays
any cotton growers to protect his
profits by proved methods of pre-
vention.
In telling briefly the results Of
the protection campaign in 1889,
MI. Hopkins says:
EARLY in the spring an intensive
was put on to encourage
the use Of ceresan.treated seed and
Ill poisoning. A summary Of these
records shows that of the 1,493
farms reported, 315 used neither
poison nor ceresan treatment and
made an average yield on 1856
acres of 1858 pounds of lint. Five
hundred and thirty-eight used both
ceresan-treated seed and I'LL pois-
oning on a total of 4,O48.4 acres
which yielded an average Of 341.4
pounds of lint per acre..
"At a value of nine cents per
pound, this means $3.50 per acre in
crease in the value of lint alone.
Ceresan and materials for poison
ing one acre would not exceed
81. 90, therefore these 538 farmers
received $3.50 for each $1.00 ex-
pended.
Three hundred and seventy-nine
farmers on 2,537.5 acres made an
average yield Of 1867 pounds of
lint per acre by the use Of ceresan,
an increase of Al pounds per acre
those farmers who used no
ceresah
1.-TWO hundred and siXty-one
farmers used ILL poisoning but
did not treat seed on 1,442 acres
and made an average yield Of 330.5
pounds Of lint per acre, an increase
of IS pounds per acre over the av.
erage made, by those farmers who
u d neither poison nor ceresan."

Improved Methods Mean Larger
Cotton Profits

WINNSBORO, Jan. 20. - More
Fairfield farmers completed five
acre cotton staple Improvement
demonstrations in 1899 than in any
previous year, according to records
in the office of County Agent r.
H. Lennon. Notwithstanding the
fact that several of the demon
strators made very low yields, the
demonstrations averaged 583 pounds
of lint cotton per acre, at an aver
age cost of SIS cents per pound,
and an average profit Of 1882 per
acre. 81 feel sure that these DEM
o%nstrations conducted from year to
year have been Of great value in
the Improvement of the quality and
quantity of cotton now produced
in the country" says Mr. Lennon.
I'VE made a county average yield
of slightly more than 300 pounds of
lint cotton per acre, which is the
highest average yield we have
made in many years. Important
factors that contributed to u in
creased yield are soil building, thick
spacing, treating seed with Cere-
san, improved varieties, boil weevll,
control, and more intelligent use
of fertilizer"
