All Dairy Project

The Junior Dairy Production
Awards project of the Mississippi
All Club program is getting some
notable results, and it is encourage
ing to learn that youthful partici-
pants are showing special interest
in learning how to make more
money from their dairy cows. The

Clean Hog Pens Producing Profits
There's no longer truth to the old
expression cas- fat as hog" or the
belief that hogs and mud go to-
gether. Quite the opposite is seen
on modern hog farms such as the
several in southeastern Carroll
County. On these farms, hogs of
the streamlined meat type spend
much of their lives in concrete
floored, cpen-sided barns. AS they
eat from automatic feeders, they
make fast and economical gains
and little feed is lost. Water is
run across these concrete floors
often enough to keep them clean;
and in hot weather, this water
helps to cool the hogs.
Soil Care For Growth of Flowers
Flowers need plant nutrients, and
a mellow, well-drained soil which
can be easily worked. Soil found
in yards around newly constructed
homes isn't always suitable for
growing flowers; however, poor
sells can be built up if enough or
ganic matter and plant nutrients
are added. Of materials that can
be used for improving the soil,
peat moss is one of the most pre-
ferable.
