Henderson County Agent

Thursday, April 16, should be
big day for Henderson county
farmers. On that date, at 2 p. m,
at the courthouse, Mr.. Jack Girls
well of State college will explain
the new farm program, and how
we can benefit from it.
Land conservation and soil I'M
provement are essential to a sue
cessful and progressive agricul-
ture, and that is just what this
program proposes to do. By TAX
ing 10 per cent of our soil de-
pleting crops out of production,
and seeding this acreage to le-
gumes and turning it under we
will receive a rental payment OF
from ST to SO per acre. In ad-
dition to the rented acres, we can
get 81 per acre for each addl-
tional acre in soil Improvement
crops turned under. In addition,
we will benefit from soil conserv-
ing crops, to be used in approved
practices, also pasture, meadows,
and woodland are included.
Attend this meeting and find
out Just how the new farm pro-
gram will help you.
Don't forget the date-Thurs-

50 Demonstration
Farms Are Being
Conducted Here
Three Principles Including
Crop Rotation Are
Followed up
Bv WAYNE FERGUSON
Assistant County Agent

We have started in this county
so demonstration farms. which
are using the triple Super-phOS
rhate on their pastures and cover
crops. Each of these farms was
selected by the community COM
mittee.
The important principles Of
these demonstration farms are as
follows:
/. Improving the farm land by
practicir% good crop rotation.
,. Good pasture management.
;. Keeping farm records.
The farmers are using 4 three
year rotation. This gives a cover
crop on the land during the win
ter months when the rainfall is
the heaviest. BY this means each
% these farmers can improve
their land and we trust that this
will Influence their nclghbOrS to
practice good crop rotation.
Many farmers have neglected
their pastures. According to Mr..
Il. \. Hayne, writer from
Hoard'S Dairyman, n carload OF
I,iOO-pounG steers will take from
the farm in their bodies as much
rhosphOric acid as in d ton of 20
per cent super-phosphate, also as
much nitrogen as there is in two
tons of nitrate of soda. When
livestock Craze permanent pas
turc year after year, and no fer
tilitv other than manure is re-
turned. it can readily be seen that
eventually the pasture soil vii! be
depleted.
The good pasture management
which is being practiced by these
farmers will mean more income
TO the farmer.
The farm record is an import
ant item. because it will show just
how the farmer stands at the enc
of the wear. If there should hap
uen to be 4 loss in income he can
readily see BY locking over his
records. where the loss is. This
We hope will influence many 9th.
ers TO keep complete record on
the farm.
We would ike to have others
enter into this program OF better
farm and pasture management.

RESISTANT PLANTS
SEEN AS HELP In
CONTROL OF DISEASE

Disease has always ravaged the
plants upon which man depends
for food and fabric. Research has
developed remedies OF controls for
many of these crop maladies-
such as Bordeaux mixture for
downy mildew Of grapes or a lime
sulphur spray for apple scab. But
the ultimate method of plant dis
ease control is the breeding OF
plants resistant to disease, say sci
entists in the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Controlling crop diseases with
resistant plants dates back to
about 1900, when the control OF
fusarium wilt was undertaken by
breeding wilt-resistant strains OF
cotton, cowpeas, and melons.
Since then disease-resistant wheat,
oats, corn, potatoes, strawberries,
tomatoes, pears and other field,
garden, and orchard plants have
been developed.
Plant breeders must work Tor
more than simple resistance to
disease. A wheat, for example,
which is resistant to rust, may not
have desirable milling and baking
qualities. A sweet corn resistant
to Stewards disease may not yield
a palatable ear. A cotton resist
ant to wilt might be low in yield
or inferior in quality. Often re-
sistant hybrids are sterile.
Agronomists and pathologlstsS
working together have progressed
rapidly in recent years. Among
their accomplishments are wheat
such as Thatcher, highly resistant
to steam rust and yielding grain
of excellent quality; hybrid oats
all but immune from smuts and
rusts, and flax selections that re-
sist rust and wilt and at the same
time yield abundant seed and oil,
or that produce high-quality fiber,
and are resistant to lodging.

EGG CO-0P'S

County Farm Agent

Fifteen poultrymen and poul-
try women in Henderson county
are keeping accurate records for
State college, Raleigh, as to what
they are doing in a poultry way.
For the month of February, these
people had 1922 hens in their
floclls, and these hens laid d.
827 eggs, OF an average Of l4;l
eggs per bird. These eggs sold
for $12G7.70, or a gross income
per pird of sc cents. Figuring on
an average of six pounds of feed
consumed per bird at three cents
a pound, we have a feed cost OF
Is cents per bird. What these
people are doing, others can 40;

licve that in a few years we Will
be the largest poultry county IN
Western North Caroina. This
year we have several farmers 60

the first time. These farmers are
using brick brooders as a source
of heat in brooding their baby
chicks. Plans for these brooders
and brooder houses can be OBJ
tanned at the county agents Of

Most of these eggs are market

SWEET POTATO.
Disc ASE MAY
BE OVERCOME
Luther Shaw of State Ex-
tension Body Tells How
to Control It
By LUTHER SHAW
State Extension Plant Pathoiogist

The sweet potato is subject to
attack by a large number of soil
and seed-borne parasites each of
which is able to produce a de-
structive disease. Among the most
destructive of these diseases are
stem rot or wilt, scurf. black rot,
and root knot or big root. Unfor-
Itunately one or more Of these dis
eases occur in every section of
North Carolina where potatoes
are grown. It is, therefore, adj
visable for all Of the sweet potato
growers in the state to practice
disease control measures. Largely
as a result of the work of DR.. X.
F. Poole at the North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station,
economical and effective control
measures have been developed for
each of the diseases mentioned
above. Results Of this work can
be found in the following bulle-
tins of the North Carolina Agri-
cultural Experiment Station: Big
Root or Nematode," bulletin No.
265; "Wilt or Stem Rot" bulle-
tin No. 273; "Scurf." bulletin No.
274.
SELECTION OF SEED STOCK
The first and one of the most
important disease control meas
ures for both the large and small
grower is to select healthy pota-
toes Tor bedding. Black rot and
scurf are characterized by the
! presence Of brown to coal black
spots which may be as small as 4
dime or involve the entire surf af
| of the potato. Potatoes showM
these symptoms Of disease shouM
mot be used for bedding. Wilt oS
| stem rot may be present in pota:
J toes that look perfectly healthy
on the surface. A good way to
get seed potatoes free from this
disease is to select seed from
healthy plants at digging time.
However. if this is not done, a
representative sample Of from )
Ito j potatoes should be taken
from at least five bushels Of the
seed stock. Cut off the. ends OF
/ the selected potatoes and examine
the flesh. If there is partial OF
/ complete ring of black tissues IN
the flesh Of any of the potatoes
about i of an inch from the sur
face, this is positive evidence that
thew are infected with the wilt or
ganism. and it would not be safe
TO plant the lot of potatoes.
TREATING THE POTATOES
All seed potatoes should be
treated. This should be done even
j though it has been definitely 'es-
Etablished that the potatoes DO not
have any symptoms of the diseases
mentioned above, because 1t Is a
well known fact that perfectly
healthy potatoes frequently carry
the fungi that cause these dis
leases. Soak the potatoes Tor 10
minutes in a mercuric chloride So
luton prepared in the proportion
Eof l ounce Of mercuric chloride
TO s gallons Of water. The treat
ment is most effective if the water
is warm or around 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. ALLOW the potatoes ttc
! dry and bed them without wash
