Farmers Can Save
Thousands With
Early Feed Crops
Tom Dean Tells
What To Plant And
When To Plant It
In, a note to the editor, Tom Dean,
Rural Supervisor said: "This article
•will save our farmers thousands of
dollars if they read it and follow it
through. Many of them will if we
can get it to them this week."
The article referred to follows:
I have had a number of recent in-
quiries about how to produce an ear-
ly feed crop. These persons wanted
•to know what to plant, when and how
to plant it, and how soon they could
start feeding these crops.
The feed situation in the county
is bad and getting worse. Half the
corn cribs in the county are empty
now, and many others will be in thir-
ty days. It is certain that 85 per cent
of the farmers in the county will buy
feed before crops are "laid by". Feed
is high now and going up every day.
The thrifty farmer can cut down the
amount of feed he will have to buy
if he will plant the crops suggested
below. Hundreds of Cherokee County
farmers are already growing these
crops successfully1.
Red, .rustproof oats planted im-
mediately in 16 inch rows with 200
pounds of 6-12-6 fertilizer to the ac-
re will harvest thirty to forty bushels
of oats per acre by May 15th. Flat
Bring your Ford "Back
Home" for a complete motor
tune-up for easy starting,
better performance and top
gasoline mileage. Our
trained mechanics, using the
Ford laboratory Test Set will
do the job rig/if.
, break and disc the land, lay off 16
inch rows with 4 inch bull tongue and
16 inch sweep, follow with fertilizer
distributor. Either sow the oats by
hand in this furrow, or plant with
planter, using 4 or 5 hole corn plate
and going twice to the row. Cover by
running the middles with same plow
with which you laid off the rows. Try
to plant 2 bushels to the acre.
Never saw it tried? Sounds crazy,
did you say. It makes sense—and if
planted on average land in the man-
ner suggested you will make oats.
Oats must ibe planted NOW and not
later than February at outside, if you
expect to harvest a crop.
Plant sudan grass by March 1st to
10th. Plant in 3 foot rows and ferti-
lize. It will not grow off planted this
early unless it is fertilized. Use 200
pounds of 4-8-4 or 150 pounds of 6-
126 per acre. Plant 8 to 10 pounds of
seed to the acre. Prepare soil well
before planting. Frost may bite it,
but I have never had it killed.
Usually you can begin cutting this
grass for your work stock by iMiay
10th. Start cutting when 15 inches
high. Work stock like it, do well on it
while working, and you can cut your
grain by half when you start feeding
sudan. It is very high in protein
when cut and fed ^before it gets too
large. It is one of our very best early
feed crops, but a lot of folks don't
use it. You will get only good results
if it is fed right.
Plant early varieties of corn early
in March. I \jouid say first day of
March if possible. Plant it on good
land, in 4 foot rows, and use 200
pounds of fertilizer to the acre.
Truckers Favorite, a white corn, will
give you feed by June 1st to 5th and
lowealth Hybrid, a big producing
yellow corn, can ibe fed by June 5th
to 15th. Plant with 4 hoie plate and
take out every other stalk. Cut stalks
when corn is in hard roasting ear
stage, shock close to feed lot, and
feed stalk and all. Your stock will
eat it and do a days work.
KG-nember, I am talking about an
EARLY feed crop. You can not have
it early by planting it late. Prepare
the land now. Clip this article so you
can check the dates. If these instruc-
tions are iollowed you will not fail.
There may be better ways. If I
knew a better way I would tell you.
The way suggested here will get the
job done.

Farm Machinery
Repair Is Urged
Repair of farm machinery now is j
just one more step toward a solid
farm front, H. W. Walker, chairman
of the Cherokee county USD A War
Board, said this week.
"Food is just as important in total1
war as tanks, guns, planes and ships,
and delivering the goods is our
pledge to help whip Hitler, the Japs
and the Italians," the chairman said.
In connection with the farm ma-
chinery repair program in Cherokee
•county, IMlr. Walker outlined three
reasons why immediate action is im-
portnat.
1. Farmers are being called upon
to produce more food than ever be-
for.
2. Expected shortage of farm la-
bor means more farm work with ma-
chines.
3. Manufacture of new farm ma-
chinery has been restricted by need
for critical Materials in war indus-
tries.
Reconditioning every available
piece of farm machinery and order-
ing all repair parts during the pres-
ent slack period, will off-set short-
age of labor and machinery later, Mr.
Walker said.

H. E. REPORT
The H. E. Club enjoyed a Valen-
tine party Thursday, Feb. 5. The
prize was given to Mary Beth Con-
determination and cheerfulness will
undermine our national strength
more seriously than can the ememy
acting from without.
"It has bees proved in industry
that a gloomy, worried mental state
is conducive to accidents, and the
President has issued a proclamation
declaring the reduction of accident-
al injuries as essential to national
strength," Doctor Cox stated.
"Your State Health Department
stresses a warning against worry
that is carried to the extreme. If
you notice a growing tendency to
worry, try by the exercise of your
own will to stop this futile, devit
alizing habit," he urged.
Dr. Cox pointed ut that these are
troubled times, and it is natural
that we should feel concern about
national affairs. It is one thing, he
pointed out, to feel this concern and
do whatever we can that may be
constructive in solving our diffieul
ties, but it is worse than folly, he
added, to abandon ourselves to the
ravages of worry and fear.
