Farm Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: Is poultry expan-
sion advisable during the present
period?
ANSWER: C.. F. Parrish, ex-
tension poultry specialist, says
North Carolina poultrymen may
expand their flocks if they do 1T
safely and sanely, not attempting
to "bite off more than they can
chew" Before new construction
begins, empty houses should be
pressed into service and suitable
outbuildings converted into poul-
try houses. Parrish also urges
greater efficiency from present
flocks through better feeding and
management practices.
QUESTION: When should Win
ter grazing crops be seeded?
ANSWER: For best results,
temporary grazing crops for this
winter and next spring should be
seeded during September or the
early part of October. Farmers
have found a mixture of Italian
rye grass and crimson clover to
be a good mixture. Recommended
rate Of seeding is Is pounds of the
rye grass and Is pounds of the
clover per acre. Another good
combination is three bushels of
winter oats or two bushels of
wheat, Is pounds of crimson cIo-
yer, and Is pounds of Italian rye
grass.
QUESTION: What is a good fat
tening ration for hogs?
ANSWER: E. V. Vestal, extern
sion swine specialist, says corn
is too expensive to be fed alone,
so it should be supplemented with
a mixture of fishmeal or tank
age and cotton-seed meal. The
proteins should be mixed in equal
proportions by weight. One hun
dred pounds of the fish meal-cot-
tonseed meal combination will
save about IL bushels of corn if
the self-feeder method of fatten-
ing the hogs is used.

Electricity Aids
Farm Efficiency

Electricity, a powerful and re-
latively new tool on the farm, is
speeding the efficiency of North
Carolina farmers in the current
drive to strengthen national de-
ense, says D. E. Jones, rural cleo
trification specialist of N. G. State
college.
Some farmers, have been using
this servant in their work for the
past five or six years, but with
greater emphasis on increased
production and efficiency, they
are now broadening their use of
this power.
In addition, others who have
used it in only a small way for
household purposes are applying
it to farm jobs and finding it the
easiest, quickest and cheapest
way of doing their larger chores,
the State College specialist point
ed out.
In dairying, it milks the cows,
cools the milk, pumps the water,
grinds the feed, heats the water,
and sterlizes the utensils. On the
poultry farm. it broods the chicks,
heats the drinking fountain, lights
the laying house, grinds the feed,
pumps the water, and, in a few
cases, matches the chicks.
For the truck grower, it heats
the plant bed, pumps water for
irrigation, operates a spray pump,
provides refrigeration and ice at
marketing time, operates grad
er, a washer, a sacker and a load
ing machine, and in the case of

Each of these operations brings
