FARM.
QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

QUESTION: My husband ana
1, both 30, work in textile mills
but were brought up in the coun-
try, We want to borrow money
and begin dairy farming. Do you
thing this is a good idea?
ANSWER: The answer depends
on a number of factors, says John
Arey, in charge of dairying for
the State College Extension Serv-
ice. Portions of his reply follow:
ut is very difficult to answer
your question. Dairy farming Is
Ia little more difficult than cror
farming. Unless you have had
experience, T would hesitate adj
vising you to give up a satisfact-
DRY position and borrowing all
the money needed to equip q
dairy farm.
"The cost of entering the dairy
farming business depends on
whether you produce Grade A or
ungraded milk. 1t is not advisable
to enter the Grade A business
with a herd of much less than 10
COWS. These animals will cost
you S3OO-S5OO per head. Your
milking barn, including equip
ment for this number of COWS
will cost you S2,OOOs2.5OO. You
will also need a lounging shed
costing S1,OOO-S1,500.
For this number of COWS you
will need at least Is acres OF
good pasture as we'll as Is tons
of good hay or Is tons of hay
and 80 tons of silage.
81 would not want to start
with a herd of this size with less
than 40 acres of tillable land.
my suggestion would be for
you and your husband to con-
tinue in your same work and use
your income to purchase a farm
of at least so acres and then grad,
ually stock it as your income
would permit, rather than resign
your jobs and borrow all of the
money needed to equip a dairy
farm to make reasonable liv
ing"

With the coming OF the Ian
season, we begin to think s Oh
lawns and lawn grasses ootl tol
temporary winter lawns ana 1or
permanent ones. In most OF North
Carolina the fall months are the
hest time of the year to builo
permanent lawns because the
young grasses get a chance "
become we'll established before
next summers heat and airy
weather. If you are interested IN II
building a new lawn this fall
YOU should write to the Agrlcul-
tural Editor at State College TOR

should like to say a Jew
words here about lawns. MOST
established lawns in this state
are of Bermuda grass, crab grass

ture of these and others. All eX'

" verv desirable to keep our
lawns, !. green the year round. This
is made possible by sowing ltal'
ion rye grass in the established
sod during late September or
early October.
IF YOUR permanent sod is
beavv, it may require 5 pounds
Of rye grass seed per 1000 square
fao+ Of lawn. If the sod is not
heavv. 2 to 3 pounds per- looo
square feet should be suftlclent;
italian rye grass is an annual ia!

that time, the permanent grasses
che. should take over again. Since
h1,,e grass remains fairly gre21
in winter, it is not recommended
that rye grass be planted IN a
good blue grass lawn. The spring
growth of rye grass is often very
heavv and may kill out the blue
Grass. In order to give a gooo
dark green color to the rye grass
II should be fortified before
n1anting. About 2 pounds OF a
5.1O.5 or other good garden tertl
lizer per 100 square feet of lawn
should give good results.

YAM FESTIVAL BIGGER AND BETTER

phase of the festival one that nobody
will want to miss.
To stage such an event takes many
man hours of work. 1t takes lot OF
letter writing, lot of talking and
DAYS of planning, right along with
some ordinary hard work. The event
has proved its worth by bringing to
Tabor City, a better quality of vans,
bv offering wholesome entertainment
to those persons who attend, and by
spreading the name Of Tabor City
throughout the nation.
Past festivals were probably appre-
ciated less by the home folks than any
one else. Yet, it has made great and
progressive strides. All of us owe it
to Tabor City to get right down to
work, pitch in and do our part, get
enthusiastic and make this festival OF
1851 an event unequalled. This can
be our biggest success. The overall
achievement is in the hands of local
citizenry.
Start talking up the festival now.
Tell your friends about it and invite
everyone you see to attend this years
event. It's of no value unless people
see it.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1951-09-12

Plans are rapidly taking shape for
the sta ing of the Fourth Annual Caro-
linas Yam Festival, an event that has
grown from an idea to function OF
mammouth proportions in just three
years.
Upwards of $4,000 people have at
tended the festival during each OF the
past three events and there is every
indication that more than that will be
in Tabor City this October.
The festival has grown better each
year while growing bigger. This year
without any doubt it will have the
most attractive program. ever and will
be the best planned festival.
Work on the 1851 event started
right after the old one and during the
entire year efforts were being put
forth by those persons most actively
involved in staging the fourth festival.
As in the past, North Carolina State
College will have it's experts here to
lecture on the growing and processing
of vans, private booths will be in abun-
dance and at the same time another
parade, concerts, comedy and musical
acts, athletic events and free prizes to
visitors will make the entertainment

Dynamite Seen Ready
To Surprise Smith,
Ring Choice Tonight
By George Huber

round fight against Lightweight
Little Dynamite at Griffith Sta
dium, and this Is difficult to under
stand. Smith hasn't had a bout
for two months because Of lung
ailment and didn't appear a world
beater in that last fight, although
he was the winner.
Smith Is giving away about 6
pounds to a rough, tough mixer
who has been exceptionally active
this year and who has won four
straight by knockouts. Dynamite,
lin fighting trim and weighing 131
to Smiths 125, is picked by this
corner.
/ It makes a good argument, and
Matchmaker Gene Menendez has
come up with a natural" between
two popular District Negroes who
should attract a crowd Of about
S. 900 to the bali park.
Smith Wins FL In Row.
In Smiths favor is a fancy
record of 81 straight victories, 1e
by knockouts including one over
Dynamite. Smiths hackers also
can point to the fact that he is
handled by Irwin Cohen of New
York, who doesn't fool around
with boys who don't show promise
and that Whitley Bimstein, we'll
known trainer. is coming down
from New York to work his corner
Whitley also doesn't waste much
time on a poor cause.
It's difficult to forget Smiths

ago against Proctor Heinhold
That was his first I0-rounder and
he won 1t, but he didn't appear
