» THURSDAY, OCTOBER ft, IMS. THE BARgTWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA Sown in Fall l^rgent in Dairying Vx. Large Acreage of Small Grains Has Particular Significance for Dairy Farmer. •v Clemson College,Oct. 1.—Larger acreage of small grains has particu lar significance for the dairy farmer, since the small grain crop ls the key to the natural advantage the south ern dairy farmer has over the north ern and western farmers, thinks C. G. Cu?hman, extension dairyman. Failure to grasp that advantage, he says, is failure ^ to reap maximum pdofits. ^‘The proper feeding of dairy cat tle for maximum production and consequent profit may be viewed from three angles; adequate amount.? of roughage crops, continuous and abun dant grazing, and supplementary grian rations,” Mr. Cushman contin ues. “The western and northern dairy farmer is offered the possibility of but one roughage crop per year- summer-time crop. The South Caro lina farmer has two. Oats and vetch make a/Y’ nter growing roughage crop which is growing in popular favor rapidly. If cut when the oat is in the dough stage and a good cure is ob tained giving a bright green forage, it is one of the best roughages in quality, is well liked by dairy cows, and compares favorably in total food nutrirpents with any of our popular legume roughages. When properly seeded on productive soil£ it is a high yielder and can be followed by another annual legume crop or corn. “The Forage Type Norton oat, de veloped by the Coker Pedigreed Seed Co., which is just being released, of fers promise of an improved oat and vetch roughage both in quality and yield. This type of oat is very leafy, is cold-resistant but net rust-resist ant, anfi, with vetch, --hould yield a superior roughage crop to any of the commonly used oat varieties. Un der field tests covering a period of three years thi.- oat yielded an aver age of 962 pounds more of cqied rcughage annually than the nearest competing oat variety and 1680 pounds more than the third variety compet ing. “The planting of oats and vetch for hay is not recommended because it is .-uperior to the summer legumes but because it minimizes the risk of a failure on the basis of one crop per year, and in using both the win ter and .-ummer forage system, greater use is made of the land. Few farmers ever make sufficient rough- age for their dairy cattle, which re quire two to three tons for each ma ture animal yearly.” ment, hens will return a creditable income; and to keep trap nest records of every individual hen so that at the end of the year each club contestant will know from which hens to breed in order' to increase the egg produc tion in the home flock. All the club members ‘’of the county will be in tensely interested in the monthly contest reports and the competive “egg race” among the pullets sent by club members from every section of the State. A number of the 4-H poultry rais ers are training and pluming their birds preparatory to the State Fair. The poultry club department is al ways filled with fine quality bird? that would compete favorably with those shown by the veteran exhibi tors. The Barnwell County junior exhibitors will have several creditable entries which have chances of being prize winner 1 .?. Poultry club members completing the years’ work in this county are: Annie Rebecca Shuler, Mary Riley Whitaker, Louise Hartzog, Billy Manning, Margaret Black and Mur'- riel Norris.

YOUNG POULTRY RAISERS COMPETE WITH VETERANS The Major 4-H Poultry club mem bers of Barnwell County are prepar ing their flocks to compete with the best standard ^>f the State. Under 1 the supervision of the Home Demon stration Agent, ’ Miss McNab am Miss Juanita Neely, extension spec ialist, these amateur poultry raiSers have folfowed all instructions in brooding, feeding, summer manage ment, and sanitation, which consti tute the main essentials in maturing quality pullets. The next to prominent phases in developing standard flocks are select ing and blood testing the pullets With low grain production this year, it is more necessary than ever for all poultry raisers to closely cull their flocks and keep the best producers that will give the - greatest returns says Miss Neely, who was in the county Monday and Tuesday visiting the club members with Miss McNab These flocks y?ere culled, and a num ber tested for the Pullorum Disease fehich is one of the most destructive diseases among baby chicks, and the only known one transmitted by the parent stock to the chicks.
