T. A. Brawley, assistant agricultural agent, says has been conducting burley demonstrations in cooperation with the N. C. Experiment Station for the past three years.

During 1958, he experimented with spacing burley plants at distances of 10 inches, 14 inchrs, 18 inches and 22 inches. Of these distances, 14 inches proved to he the best. Ten inchrs was second best, while burley plants set at 18 and 22 inches yielded about the same. Automatic Feeding BURNSVILLE Willard Avers of Bald Creek has become the first poultryman in Yancey County to iaslall an automatic feeding system. According to Don Pardue.

assistant agricultural agent, Avers recently constructed a two-story concrete block poultry house, and is now growing out his first batch of 18.000 broilers. Ayers says that with his automatic feeders and watering system he can carry on i usual farming and look after the broilers without hiring additional help. Been Profitable FRANKLIN Fred Morgan of the Nantahala community has found bees to be a profitable addition to his farm. According to Bryan Anders, assistant Macon County agricultural agent, Morgan received about $100 from his bees in 19.58. Anders added that bees do not require much labor and can give a high return per hour if properly cared for.

Feed Goals Set HENDERSONVILLE Hen- derson County dairy and href cattle farmers believe in producing all the roughage needed lo feed their animals. Then if there is land available they'll produoe as much of the grain needed as they possibly can. Dairy farmers have set these goals per animal unit which they hope to reach by 19fi2: One and a half acre.s of improved permanent pasture. A half-acre of winter and summer supplementary pasture. Ten tons of corn or grass legume silage.

A ton of legume grass hay. Thirty bushels of corn. Ten bushels of oats. The goals per animal unit set by the beef cattle farmers, to be reached by 1962 also: One and a half acres of improved permanent pasture. A half acre of winter and summer supplementary pasture.

Three tons of corn silage. A half ton of legume grass hay. Quality, Prices Up BAKERSVILI.E Burley tobacco yields, quality and prices have been on the increase for Mitchell County farmers throughout the 10.18 sales year, according to figures recently compiled by the county agent's oflice in Bakersville.
