tant 6.00-16. 750-20, and the

Worst war problem involving

aspect OF this worst problem,

loss Of thousands Of tires, yet
nothing can be done about II.
Synthetic rubber has gen.
orally done a very successful
job in its great test in combat"

crop of hay or seed. Mr.. Moses
says his seed are clear profit and
he is recommending to all farmers
in this section that they follow the
Piedmont Carolina plan of over
seeding lespedeza on their small
grain next February. He says il
is safe and sound farming and
provides ample feed. If the crop
is properly handled, it also builds
up the land.
N. J. Wicks also on Spring Hope,
Route 2, a neighbor, tried out grain
sorghum this season and says his
Weld per acre is right at 40 to so
bushels of grain an acre. The
grain sorghum has about the same
feeding value as corn and Mr..
Wicks is considering expanding his
acreage next season. His two sons,
Jack and Harold, will use grain
sorghum in their All club projects
for 1916. The grain produced will
be used to feed pigs which the two
boys are now growing.

Farm Leaders Advise
Planning For 1916 Now

Kill the hogs for home use in after
noon, let the carcasses hang up
over night to chill, and drain and
cut UP the meat the next morning.
Q3) After meat is produced, cure
correctly; two days per pound per
piece is usually time enough to
cure. For 100 pounds of meat, use
eight pounds Of salt, pounds Of
brown sugar, and ounces salt
peter. (14) If a green grazing is
not available, keep little green
colored cured legume hay in hog
feeding rack.
Poultry
ID Watch laying flock carefully
for drop in egg production. If this
occurs, feed some wet mash during
noon hour. 90 Provide the laying
flock with warm drinking water.
90 Gather eggs often in cold
weather and store in an unheated
place. If necessary, cover wltH
quilt to prevent freezing. a. Keep
poultry houses clean and dry. 90
Gull and sell Improbable layers.
60 Turkeys not sold during
Thanksgiving market should be fin
ished out for Christmas market.
Around The Home
% Any dead limbs or ndesir'
able trees in the yard should be

needed repairs on house and barn.
60 Make arrangements for NOV
ing shrubs from the woods to the
farmstead. "a Repair roa d S
around the house and barn. 60 I'm.
derpin that house you have plan
