Corn-Hog Reduction
Meeting Here
On March 27th
Number 40
There will be a meeting Tuesday,
March.27th, at 3 p. m., in the Com
munity House for those interested
in the corn-hog reduction propo
sition. Mr. J. R. Hawkins, extension
animal husbandman, will be with
me to explain the details.
Those farmers who have sold
feeder pigs or hogs for slaughter
or breeding purposes during the
years 1932 and 1933 will probably
be able to secure substantial pay
ments for complying with the pro
visions of the contract which re
quires a 25 per cent reduction in
the number of litters and pigs
raised for market, together with a
20 per cent to 30 per cent reduction
in corn acreage.
I realize that there is only a
limited number of farmers in the
county who can qualify to sign a
contract of this kind, but they will
be given opportunity to receive
such benefits as they may be en
titled to.

County Agent.

A Milk Control Plan
For Spring Surplus
Social At Sullivan
School House, By
H. D. C., March 23
The Sullivan Home Demonstra-
Clemson College, March 17. —
Since many cows freshen in the
spring about the same time fresh
pastures become available, milk
production increases to burden
some proportions on most retail
milk markets”, says Prof. J. P. La-
Master, head of the dairy depart
ment, suggesting a way out, based
on experience with the college
herds. He says:
! “Those farmers who have taken
the precaution to develop pastures
can solve this problem from their
individual standpoint by drying up
those cows which have been milk
ing nine or ten months and which
are safe in calf for at least six
months. The pasture areas avail
able should be fenced off so that
the dry cows could be carried in a
separate pasture from the milking
cows.
“If reasonably good pastures are
available beginning in April, dry
cows should be able to maintain
themselves without extra feed.
Since they would have about three
months’ dry period before next
calving they could be expected to
milk much better next fall by vir
tue of this rest period than if they
were milked continuously to within
one month or six weeks of calving,
as is the usual practice.
“This procedure has been fol
lowed at Clemson with very satis
factory results and therefore can
be recommended to the commercial
milk producers of the State.
“If the pastures available for dry
cattle are not sufficiently improved
tion Club will sponsor a social at to carry the dry cows in satisfac-
Sullivan School House on Friday tory condition extra feeding of
evening, March 23rd. dry roughage, such as hay or corn
The public is cordially invited to stover, would supplement the pas-
attend. tures satisfactorily.”
