LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Dairying in North Carolina 
On page 339 you refer to inquiries 
about dairying in North Carolina, and I 
would like to add a little to what Prof. 
Massey wrote. I was born on a Broome 
County, New York, dairy farm, did a lit¬ 
tle dairying in the Maryland hills, and 
have been knocking about North Caro¬ 
lina for 16 years, and I know that milk 
can he produced here at much less cost 
than in the North. While the Piedmont 
and lowlands are not so fertile as most 
of the New York soils, wo can make 
them even more productive, owing to our 
longer growing season. While the aver¬ 
age corn crop of the State is low, it is so 
solely because of bad farming. By using 
lime and acid phosphate we can grow more 
Red clover and Alfalfa per acre than any 
New York farm can grow. We cut Red 
clover three times on good land, and Al¬ 
falfa four to six times. We can cut 
Sudan grass four times and get from six 
to 10 tons of dry hay jier acre, and hay. 
too, equal to the best Timothy. One of 
the Corn Club boys produced over 240 bu. 
of corn on one acre. The Corn Club boys 
that I had To look after for a while pro¬ 
duced from 50 to 100 bu. per acre at a 
cost of from 16 to 30c per bu. In fact, 
one of them raised about 135 bu. on his 
acre at a cost of less than 15c per bu. 
One farmer in this county who is a real 
farmer, told me that he measured a little 
over 1.400 bu. from 12 acres last year. 
Lots of his neighbors got less than 300 bu. 
from fields of the same size. 
Silage keeps as well here as farther 
north. I saw one farmer feeding silage 
that was two years old and still in good 
condition. A silo made of 2x4’s is suffi¬ 
cient to protect from frost, at least east of 
the Blue Ridge. Milk sells here at 1 He 
per qt.. I think it is still higher in the 
larger towns. Permanent pastures can be 
made on most of the Piedmont and moun¬ 
tain lands, and temporary pastures can 
be had on any of the soils, and all the 
year around, except for the few days that 
snow lies on the ground. Probably your 
readers will wonder why. with such ad¬ 
vantages. this section buys most of its 
flour, some of its corn, much of its hay 
and about all it uses of dairy products; 
well, the answer is—tobaeeoitis. When 
a farmer acquires this disease lie is sel¬ 
dom good for anything as a farmer. He 
usually prefers to raise tobacco, only. 
Now, if anyone gets it into his head 
chat he can buy lots of cheap land here he 
would better got that notion out of his 
head at once. The lowest priced lamK 
especially the cut-over lands, are apt to 
prove the most expensive in the long run. 
A stranger will seldom have a chance at a 
really productive farm at a reasonable 
price. Most of the farms that are offered 
for sale are pretty well run down. How¬ 
ever, these are the on/'s to buy, for most 
of the soils can be made very productive 
in two or three years by the intelligent 
use of lime, legumes and acid phosphate. 
Many of the farms,’ though, have fields 
which will produce paying crops, even 
the first year, by using a good “complete” 
fertilizer, -or nitrate of soda and acid 
phosphate. Nearly all the Piedmont soils 
have an abundance of postash for all 
crops except potatoes, but they are all 
deficient in phosphorus and nitrogen, and 
about all the cultivated lands have had 
the humus worked out of them. When 
these are supplied, splendid crops are 
raised. If the dairyman wishes to sell his 
milk to a creamery or cheese factory, the 
mountain section described by Prof. Mas¬ 
sey will suit him bo-;t. If he prefers to 
sell his milk directly to the consumer, 
perhaps making some butter at the same 
time, he will be likely to do best in the 
vicinity of a large town or city. If he 
decides to get out of dairying, ho has a 
home market for his hay. potatoes, etc. If 
he gets the cotton or tobacco fever. (Tod 
help his family, for they will soon need 
help, and lots of it. These two crops are, 
however, very profitable to the men who 
handle them after they leave the hand s of 
the farmers, but they keep the country, as 
a whole, very poor. F. A. BROWN. 
R. N.-Y.—Even with these advantages, 
it would seem that New York and New 
Jersey, with their nearby markets and 
transportation system, offer a superior 
chance.
