S. Royal Air Ride. Although it has not yet been released for sale, you can preview this important development in tihe design at your U. S. Tire Dealer’s today! , The Air Ride is more than a new tire. It repre sents a completely new concept of tire engineer ing. The result is a wholly new kind of tire performance. The Air Ride principle is a simple one: more air where it does the most good. You’ll get all the dramatic advantages of greatly increased dir volume at lower air pressure—for air-cushioned riding and driving ease such a$ you’ve never known before. And because of the Air Ride’s unique tread and dm*, 4 ” 9 mm* t September is an important time in livestock management, says County Agent M. A. Bouknight who lists these reminders for busy farmers. Animal Husbandry 1. Arrange to seed some small grain (barley, rye or oats) for hog grazing. 2. Give the brood sow special attention at farrowing ame. The larger the litters the greater the profit. 3. Place rows and litters on land uninfested with parasites. 4. Start hogging down corn as soon as it is in the glazed stage. 5. Cull the unpro ductive sows. 6. If plans are be ing made to feed steers, get feed on hand before buying the ckttle. Dairying 1. Sow small grain for winter grazing, at least one-fourth acre I per cow. Use four bushels per 'acre of a mixture of oats and bar- jley, with 20 pounds of crimson clover or vetch—substitute rye for barley on lighter lands. 2. Feed 'some grain daily. Dry fall pas tures lack nutrients. 3. Dry up cows due to freshen in October to allow six weeks’ rest. 4 Plan to plant one-half to one acre of oats and vetch for each cow, to be cut for hay next May. 5. Plant Barley on good upland soils to substitute for corn in the grain ration. 6. Use hay-curing racks to help make bright, green-cured, leafy hay. Poultry 1. Give the. laying house a thorough cleaning before moving in the pullets. A lye water, one can of lye to 15 gallons of water, is a cheap and good cleaning a- gent. 2. Place earliest maturing pullets in permanent laying houses. 3. Be sure pullets are free from worms, lice, * and mites before moving them from the range. Turkeys 1. Keep birds on clean range. 2. Mix buttermilk with corn to increase corn consumption for market birds. 3. Select breeders before marketing flock. 4. Make arrangements with a hatchery for keeping a supply flock. 5. Pur- j chase saddles ‘for breeder hens. X—■ Farmers’ Calendar For September Jobs / County Agent M. A. Bouknight reminds farmers that there are many important jobs needing at tention in September. Some of the most important he lists follow: Agronomy 1. Use winter cover crops to grow your next year's fertilizer. 2. Quality in ginned cotton will pay; pick clean, store dry, gin care fully, and top your market. 3. There are phosphorus and potash reserves left in your cotton fields; plant small grains and make use of them. 4. Now is the time to obtain limestone — under AAA grants if possible. 5. Prepare now for a permanent pasture next year. Horticulture 1. Keep strawberry beds free of weeds and grass. Set some selected new plants. 2. Plant spinach seed in late September for winter and spring use. 3. Sow turnips up fa September 20, Shogoin and Seventop for greens, and White Egg and Purple Top for roots. 4. Keep fall garden crops well culti vated and fertilized. 5. Sow seed late in September for “frost proof” cabbage plants. 6. Be sure to have your garden full of various “greens” this fall and winter. Agricultural Engineering 1. It is not too late to build a trench or box silo; see your county agent for plans. 2. Clean, oil and store cultivating machinery. 3. Get mower and rake in good condition for cutting hay err-”. 4. If rat-proof grain storage Hiild- ings are needed, get plans t’ ~ uah county agent's office. 5. Pi' ’ cot ton clean and dry in order to get better prices. Insects and Disease^ 1. Treat all small grain rr " dis ease control — apparently new strains of smut even on r'-'' tant varieties make it necessary t"* ad vise treatment of all seed 2. As soon as cotton is picked, turn stalks under as weevil r mtrol measure in coastal section. 3. Plow under tobacco stalks and other crop refuse to destroy food and immature stages of insects. 4. Re move dead -and dying orchard trees and limbs and burn them to control insects. 5. Knock off and turn under all peach fruits to aid bees. 7. Plant oats to produce feed in disease control. 6. Requeen on wireworm-infested land. U. S. TIRE ittvi/eb ijcu to cc £P / ie / we€& AMERICA’S NEWEST, MOST MODERN • • 4 IIS.
