One reason for the drop, Lewis
says, may be the slight immediate
gain farmer can see from spread
ing lime Unlike fertilization, it is
long range program which must
be maintained year by year, but
which doesn't show up until you
get negligent and forget it. Lewis
outlined a two-step program for
Virginia farmers to follow to over
come the lime deficit:
Send soil samples from all fields
in production to the VPI Agronomy
Department for a free analysis.
Soil boxes. record sheets, and ship
ping cartons are available without
cost from county agents.
Follow the lime and fertilizer sug-
gestions given by the specialists.
County agents will work with the
farmer in setting up a yearly APP
plcation schedule.
Fields in which specialized crops
such as tobacco and alfalfa are
grown should be sampled each year
Rotation fields should be tested
each rotation, or each three years.

Virginia Tru-To Word Worms is
perhaps the most unique business
venture attempted in Primes Ed
ward county in 1859 There are
others who produce worms for sale.
but it is safe to assume that the
enterprise of Misses H. Leonora
Anderson and Mildred v. Bentz is
the only one planned to provide
complete supporting income for two
persons.
The full-time earthWorm fishing
worm project is SITUATED near
Pamplin on the Cunningham farm.
The proprietors Of the earthWorm
business are as new to the area as
their supporting work is. In April,
the two moved from New Hamp-
shire to Prince Edward to escape
q climate where winter exists
three-fourths of the year The cold
weather didn't agree with their fond
desire to be outside, to plant
flowers and garden. and to grow
things such as worms.
Location in Virginia was not BY
accident. Miss Anderson said she
and her friend had passed through
the section on a vacation in 1858.
Last winter. they decided it was
too cold in New Hampshire Then,
the big decision on where to go in
the South had to be made. North
Carolina was Miss Anderson's ma
tive state. and that was ruled out
because it gets too hot at times.

'7ru To Word Worm Enterprise
Is 4 D01un To Earth Business

Miss Bentz. a native of Nebraska,
couldn't fit her state into the de-
sired climate bill, so Virginia best
met their desires.
Hybrid Immigrants
To Virginia they came. but not
alone. The worm idea had been
tossed about and studied in detail
in New Hampshire. In fact, they
had purchased 200 red ybrid
worms for an experiment. and as
Miss Anderson said, we gave them
place of honor on the back seat
in the car on the way down to Vir-
ginia. The initial worms have not
been sold-they were kept for senti-
mental reasons and for breeding.
How does one pick such a bust
ness. when the field of opportuni-
ties is so great? Simple said
Miss Anderson. I'VE wanted some
thing that would support us and not
tie us down to an eight-hour sched-
ule every day" The worm business
is not providing full support for the
two at the moment. but they are
optimistic that in time it will And
it most likely will at the rate they
are going. along with professional
guidance from organic magazines
The organic magazines which at
tracted their interest through a
passion for gardening actually put
them onto the worm project.
To go into business the big way
it takes quantity and quality to be-
gin with The Prince Edward new
corners launched their industry with

expected
The reason for this. Allen ex-
plains, is that interrelationships be
tween the various factors in milk
ing systems often make it so that
one new item put in piecemeal does
not accomplish the purpose Of low
ering costs To illustrate. if "a bulk
tank is installed, a pipe line is
necessary to realize the fullest
benefit. Without the pipe line. milk
must still be carried to tina tank in
separate containers.
Highlights Of study conducted
by Allen show that.
Total investment in buildings and
equipment per COW dropped off
rather rapidly as COWS per farm
increased
The conversion costs per COW
were directly related to the size Of
herd
The daily labor per COW devoted
to milking and washing and clean
lip varied significantly with differ
ent situations. In addition, the time
per COW was generally reduced as
size Of herd increased
This decrease in daily labor per
COW as herd size increased was
much sharper for the systems hav-
ing milking parlors than for those
with stanchion barns. A smaller
time per day could be reached
with fewer cows with the loose
housing milking parlor arrangement
than with stanchion barns.
TRANSACTIONS into savings" of
labor on an annual basis, with the
size Of herd at the average, the
loose housing milking parlor, pipe
line mixer. and bulk handling sys-
tenn used about % hours less labor
per COW than the conventional sys-
tenn used.
The dairyman who is interested
in installing a completely new sys
tenn, or the newcomer to dairylng,
is advised to consider some modi-
fication of a milking parlor with
both bulk tank and a pipe line.

Porch VS. Range
Question Studied
For Turkey Toms

Turkey toms raised on porches
may have more foot and hook
trouble than those raised on range.
Denver D. Bragg, poultry special
list, says in studies made by the
University of Massachusetts, 1922
per cent Of the birds raised on
porches and ga per cent of those
raised on range had foot and hook
trouble. 1t may be advisable, Bragg
suggests. for Virginia growers, e:;-
peclally those with heavier tyre
birds. to range the toms and keep
only the hens on porches.
II this can't be worked out salts
factorily, at least provide restir g
stations on the porches, such as
the placing Of wide boards arour d
the feeders and waters and at other
points, SO the toms can spend part
OF their time of the stats.
