He reported a shortage of har.
vesting machinery in several sec
tons where especially large in
creases in acreage had been made
This fact, combined with the

Hoke Growers Cooperate
To Pick Cotton Acreage

RAEFORD. Sept. 5. - All or
CARNATIONS in Hoke county are
cooperating in the effort to get
cotton picked before it suffers
weather damage and the quality
of the crop is much better than
usual, reports County Agent p. S.
Knowles of the Extension Service.
He says that the pickers are CO.
operating by harvesting the crop
with less trash and by spreading
the fleecy staple on the sheets so
that it will dry thoroughly before
it is taken to the gin.
The industries producing war
materials need good cotton and
the supply is relatively short, the
county agent said.

MADISON PLANS
ALFALFA DRIVE
IS Farmers III County
Have Successfully Grown
The Crop

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Sept. 5.-Madison county is put
ting on special drive for an in
creased acreage of alfalfa and at
recent meetings more than 400
farmers discussed problems con-
nected with the growing OF the
crop, Farm Agent PPhilip R. Elan
reported to the Extension Service
st State college here today.
He said that about rs Madison
county farmers have successfully
grown alfalfa and that the yields
are around four tons per acre as
compared with average yields OF
about two tons for the state.
He pointed out that growers are
able to carry through the winter
only about half as many livestock
as they are able to pasture dur,
ing the summer. Increased
amounts of feed are needed tor
the winter months and alfalfa is
the best solution to the problem
because this crop produces larger
yields of higher quality hay than
any other leguminous crop which
we can grow" Etam said.
He pointed 20 a large number
of demonstrations which snow
that Madison county soils are par
tlcularly wei adapted TO the
growing of alfalfa. He SAID thal
by proper fertilization with lime,
phosphate, potash and borax, the
crop can be made to last Tor
long number Of years with large
crops each year.
He especially recommended sys,
tematic cutting of the crop and
the leaving of high stubble,
when the crop is harvested.
These two points are very I'M.
portant in prolonging the lite OF
The alfalfa plant" Elan said.

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
BY John H. Harris
N. C. State College

A friend of mine told me recent
ly how he kept his family supplied
with fresh green's all winter. Here
is his story:
Last year around September l.,
I prepared a seed bed 10 feet by
20 feet. This bed resembled to-
bacco bed with sides built up
about feet high with slabs. Dirt
was thrown up against the slabs
on the outside to keep out the cold
wind.
After fertilizing at the rate of
IS to 20 pounds per 1000 square
feet, l broadcast mixture of the
following seeds: Siberian .kale.
tendergreen, Bloolnsdale Savoy
spinach, and Southern Seventop
turnip. After sowing the seed, l
sprinklec the bed with water, be-
cause of the dry weather, and
placed sawmill strips across the
top for shade. The strips were
placed about one inch apart which
allowed some sunlight to reach the
bed.
After the seeds began to grow
and the weather became cool,
removed the strips to allow full
sunlight to reach the plants. The
bed furnished me greens in this
manner until the last of Novem-
Der. At that time l replaced the
strips and added several thickness
of burlap sack across the strips
This protection was used during
cold days and nights, but during
moderate weather no protection
was given"
In concluding his story, my
friends face beamed when he told
me how he had opened corner OF
his bed when it was covered with
snow, and had gathered enough
greens for the family table that
day.

PRODUCTION GOAL
MEETING PLANNED
Extension Service Director
Says Meet Set For
October |

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh,
Sept. S. - A meeting to determine
farm production goals for North
Carolina in 1914 will be held
about October l, DR.. l. O. Schaub,
director of the Extension Service
at State College, announced here
today.
He said that representatives of
the Extension Service and the N.
c. Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton would meet with the War
Board and the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration. Repre-
sentatives of the Farm Security
Administration, the Soil Conser-
walton Service, the Forest Service
and other agents will also be pres
ent.
Basic national figures for war
goals have already been prepared
in Washington and officials of the
USDA will be prepared to offer
suggestions when North Carolina
goals are worked out.
Schaub said that emphasis would
continue to be placed on food, feed
and oil bearing crops. He pointed
out that the existing feed shortage
and its continuation into next year
when an even more serious situa.
ton may have to be faced, would
call for changes in livestock goals
and management.
Extra production and conser.
walton will be stressed all along
the line and we must all work to-
gether to make the best use of
available labor, fertilizer, machin.
cry, and land" the director said.

Closer Spacing Gives
More Tobacco Poundage

WINDSOR, Sept. 5. - w. J. Per-
ry of BERTHE county, is producing
about 1,500 to LOO pounds of to-
bacco per acre where he formerly
grew about LOO pounds by using
additional fertilizer and spacing
his tobacco closer in the row,

State College Extension Service
reports.
He says that Perry has changed
his fertilizer from $50 pounds to
LOO pounds of 1876 per acre. His
spacing is "a inches insted of &c
inches in the drill. In addition to
making more pounds per acre, the
tobacco is also brighter.

GULL CAREFULLY.
EXPERT ADVISES
Feed Supply Is Short For
Poultry And Flocks
Are Up

COLLEGE STATION. Ralelgn,
Sept. S. - Poultry flocks should be
culled more carefully than usual
this fall because North Carolina
farms have about 10000 more
laying hens this year than last
and because the feed supply, espe-
cially proteins, is short, Prof. Roy
S. Dearstyne of the poultry de-
partment at State College said
here today.
He pointed out that the best thing
to do under present conditions is
for poultrymen to plan for the
greatest possible number of eggs
from the feed which is available.
To achieve this result, he advis-
ed closely culled laying flocks
with no waste of feed for old hens
and poor performers in the laying
line. Since there are now large
number of young birds on farms,
poultrymen will have better op-
portunity for close culling and
still be able to maintain a good
supply of eggs.
Last year at this time, the en-
phasis was placed on producing
more eggs and growers were adj
vised to keep a relatively large
number of hens, not all first-qual-
ity producers. Dearstyne pointed
out that the picture has now
changed and that the feed supply
il the governing factor.
MANY growers Gull their laying
focks only once or twice year
but present conditions call for con-
tinuous culling," Dearstyne COM
mented.

Capon To Gust Turkey
AS Thanksgiving Bird
Editor Says Profit OF 81
To $3.50 Per Capon
For Farmer
BY THOMPSON GREENWOOD
Editor of N. c. Dept. of Agriculture

Editor of N. C. Dept. of Agriculture
RALEIGH, Sept. 5-(P)-The ca
pom will eventually replace the tur-
key as the North Carolina Thanks
giving Day bird.
That is the opinion of Carl Tower,
poultry marketing specialist with
the State Department of Agricul-
ure, and he bases his assertion on
the phenomenal growth of the ca
pom industry in this state in the
past three years. He said Satur-
day that the approximately Is tons
of capons which will be produced
on the farms of the state this year
will offset the estimated five per
cent drop in the production of tur-
keys.
Since last April Tower has ca
ponized 1000 cockerels in Eastern
North Carolina and he is already
laying definite plans for carrying
the popularity of capons into the
western counties of the state next
year.
That there is an increased de-
mand for capon meat throughout
the country is shown by the fact
that one Raleigh produce house
last week declared t would pur-
chase up to 5000 capons in the
state this year if they were avail
able
In pushing the production of ca
pons, Tower has travelled thous-
ands of miles in the three years he
has been handling this project
often putting in -2-hour days j.
caponizing the birds; and then get
ting back into Raleigh during the
night and preparing for more work
in another section of the state on
the following day.
His work schedule follows some
what the following plan: He re-
ceives a card from a farmer in
New Hanover county asking when
he viii be available for work at
that place; the card is answered
anc Tower reports two days later
and caponlzes throughout the day,
eating a good lunch with the farm
er; after completing this project,
he interests others in the COM
munlty in growing capons; and
then he returns to Raleigh in time
to gra few hours sleep before
moving TO another farm on the fol-
lowing day.
Tower has assisted white. color
ed, poor an dWealthy farmers in
their capon-producing projects-a
renter family in Chatham. a wom-
an who is pioneer in capon work
in BERTHE, a -tudent getting his
doc:orate at the University Of
North Carolina. He has helped
them all-and the service is free Of
charge.
The poultry specialist usually
pays three visits to the various
capon projects. After caponizing
the birds, he makes a return visit
to the farm to inspect them and to
advice on proper feeding procedure
housing and the like. When the pro-
Queer is ready to market his ca
pons, Tower assists him in dressing
them and in getting them to the
produce house.
Best grade, feather-picked ca
pons have a ceiling of 1871 cents
per pound on the wholesale market
IN Raleigh, as compared with 81. !
cents per pound for feather picked
hers and 26.6 cents for ROSTERS.
Tower always advises capon
growers to sell their birds clean,
that is, free of feathers, but other.
wise whole.
If capons are handled proper.
ly, it is possible to make a clear
profit of from 81 to $3.50 per bird"
