Solution Offered For Feed
Shortage In Ashe County

it is ready to harvest, the damage
will be small compared to that
suffered by corn after it reaches
the proper stage of maturity. Sor-
ghum should not be cut until the
seed is thoroughly ripe, or earlier
harvesting is necessary on ac-
count of frost.
Amount of SiIage Needed
The average cow needs about
IL ton of silage per month for
as many months as it is necessary
to feed. It is better to have too
much than too little, for if it is
not needed it can be kept until
next year. The amount required
also depends on the amount of
No. 1 hay that can be produced
economically per each animal, as
more silage is used where there
is scarcity of such hay. It must
be recognized, however, that
much of the hay saved at pre-
sent in Ashe county is inferior
in quality due in most cases to:
CD being too coarse and woody
when cut; (2) to improper curing;
and, 90 unfavorable weather
conditions. The amount of silage
needed also depends upon the
kind of pasture, and whether the
pasture will furnish good graz
ing through the summer and fall
months. If not, sufficient silage
should be grown to feed the COWS
during such pasture shortage. Ev-
cry farmer knows that once milk
cows fall off in milk production
it is mighty hard to bring back
their milk flow during that lac
tation period.
Many types of silos are avail
able all of which keep the silage
equally well when they are in
good condition, and proper care
should be taken at the time of
filling. For details in regard to
kind, size and construction of the
silo, see your county agent or
Kraft representative.
We have already called your at
tention to the economy of silage
through Professor Moore's report
as to the amount of total digest
ible nutrients that it is pssible to
produce from an acre of land.
Further study of this report
shows that one can raise 80 times
as much bulk per acre in silage
containing 7 times as much total
digestible nutrients as that in
oats threshed as grain. In other
words, we can produce 100 lbs.
of nutrients in silage for around
80c, while the same amount OF
nutrients produced in oats at the
present market prices would cost
$3.50.
Accurate ten year RECORDS snow
the average net return above the
cost of labor and seed per acre
were: for corn, $12.61; grain, 500
IS; hay, $23.66 and silage $41.37.
With silage offering so many
advantages as a feed and show
ing such returns every farmer
with as many as five cows should
try to build at least temporary
silo, such as a trench or box type,
either of which can be built at a
very small cost. This program
should be the slogan of every
farmer, business man and civic
organization in Ashe county.

Regardless OF Dry Fall And
Severe Winter, SilOs Can
Prevent Problems.
Bv LEVERN JOHNSON

Real development in the dairy
industry in Ashe County will de-
pend on the ability of oul
cows to produce and the provi
sion of an ECONOMICAL, HIGH
QUALITY, SUCCULENT feed fol
!! all seasons of the year.
| With the memory of dry sea-
son LIST fall which made it neces.
sary to commence dry lot feed.
much earlier than usual, com.
bined with a long severe winter
it is very easy for us to agree that
the BIG problem in front of Ashe
County farmers is the production
of winter feed.
Since spring is late arriving
with no prospect of good pasture
for at least another two weeks
or more, we should take time out
for serious thinking and plan our
farm operations so that we might
not be in the same circumstances
next year at this time. Let's turn
our attention to the use of the
silo.
Some of the advantages of 81
1age are: CD It yields more total
digestible nutrients per acre than
any other forage crop; (2) Due
to the large yields per acre, it is
economical and makes a high
succulent feed for any season of
the year equalled only by good
pasture; 60 Crops may be en-
SLED when weather conditions
will not permit saving a high
quality hay; and, az the filling
of the silo makes it possible to
replant the same acreage into a
winter cover crop much earlier
than otherwise, thus making
available some fall and early
spring grazing land, plus green
manure crop to turn under to
help rebuild the soil.
Professor P. S: Moore, Dairy
Specialist at the Mississippi State
College, recently wrote an arti-
Gle giving the results obtained in
the state of Mississippi over a
period of Is years showing the
comparative yields in total diges-
tible nutrients produced on an
acre of land which will grow 80
bushels of corn, one and a half
tons of hay or Is bushels of oats.
The nutrients from these crops
per acre are shown as follows:
Blu. Lbs. Dig. To. Dig.
Corn 80 1740 1910 1855
Oats Is 800 1872 $40
Hay 5000 1880 1880
Silage, sorg. 10000 240.0 4530.0
Silage, corn 10000 $500 3740.0
While corn silage has slight
ly higher feeding value than sor-
ghum silage, we recommend sor-
ghum silage for the following rea-
sons:
1. The yield as rule is larger
from l 1-2 to 2 times as much.
2. The cost of growing is much
less.
3. It withstands drought better.
4. It may be planted later.

BEAUTY GlorUying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

Whatever you hear and read to the contrary, it just isn't true that, come Easter, practically every wo- man in the country will dash out and buy a complete new wardrobe.
 The majority of us will content ourselves with one new outfit and the hope that q dress or two will be forthcoming shortly after Easter. Meanwhile, we'll try to figure out what to do with leftovers from last summer and spring.
 It's a great mistake, of course, to wait until spring actually arrives before getting last summers clothes out of the attic and juggling the budget to allow for necessary alter ations, dye jobs and the like. HERE'S HOW ON
 A SMALL BUDGET
 Last summers navy dress won't look like last summers navy dress if 1t has been shortened to this years length, taken in g trifle through the waistline and had its buttons changed or its lingerie col lar replaced with a new, entirely different one.
 The black silk suit you were too weary of in August may have fresh glamor for you if you get new blouses for it now instead of later on after you have worn 1t several times with old blouses. It's no sin to wear a dress season after season, year after year, provid- ing 1t fits perfectly. But any dress. old or new, isn't worth much to you if it sags and droops.
 The truly chic woman whose budget is limited never has trouble deciding whether to buy one new dress or to take money equivalent to the price of it and pay for hav- ing her entire wardrobe gone over by a good tailor.

Claire Tilden has de- signed Pattern 995 in such easy needle n thread terms that 8 wise mother will want to stitch up both the party-time and play-time ver- sions. The Sewing Guide makes a speedy job too! For the .dress-up style, why not use a crisp lowered organdy or batiste with .wispy cap sleeves, a square neckline, and lace- and-bow trim? Then, for the plainer style, wouldn't cotton or spun rayon be smart, with puffed sleeves and a small, rounded collar? You might add abolero for extra style, making 1t with or without sleeves. See how breezily the bias, circular skirt flares. And don't miss the novelty of the waist girdle that forms two points in front. The bodice, sleeves and collar of the dress may effec- tievlly contrast the skirt, girdle and boelro.
 Pattern 995 is cut in children's sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. Size 6, dress, requires 2 3-8 yaE'ds 35 inch fabric: bodice, 3-4 yard 35 inch fabric, and sleeveless bolero and skirt, 2 1-a yards contrast.

Herpes is an eruption of visicles or little blisters on 8 red irritated base of skin or mucous membrane. Common situation is on or near the lip. Sometimes it involves one eye and the associated irritation or per- haps ulceration of the cornea is inc tensely painful and damaging to the sight.
