The largest of the 17-year locust
broods is due to swarm over the
eastern United States this spring.
Millions of the winged insects
will fill the woods with their steady
droning the later part aof May and
the first of June, said DR.. L. Z.
Metcalf, head of the State College
entomology department.
In North Carolina they will aP-
pea most in the mountain and
Piedmont counties, though the
brood has been recorded as far east
as Wake county.
Eggs Of the brood which will
mer this year were laid in the
summer of 1919. After Matching,
the grubs burrowed into the ground
and attached themselves to tree
roots from which they have been
sucking sap ever since.
In a few weeks they will crawl
up on trees, shed their skins, and

The biggest payments under the
new farm program will be for di-
verting land from soil-depleting
crops into the production of soil
conserving or improving crops.
For taking land out of cotton the
rate of payment will be around $12
an acre, while the rate for tobacco
will be around $40 an acre, depend
ing upon the average productivity
of the land.
The ate of payment for wheat,
corn, and other soil-depleters will
be determined in the near future,
and will probably vary with each
farm according to its fertility, said
Dean |. O. Schaub, of State Col
lege.
The maximum diversions on
which payments will be made are
IS per cent of the cotton base, 80
per cent of the tobacco base, 20
per cent of the peanut base, and IS
per cent of the base acreage of
other soil-depleters.
A smaller payment will also be
made for growing soil-buildins

be delivered on Saturday, April 4,
by P. H. Kline, plant breeding
agronomist at State College.
One of the recommendations
which DR.. Kline makes is the plant
ing Of fewer acres He declared
that on this reduced acreage,
farmers can produce more cotton
per acre of better quality at a
lower cost per pound of lint.
He will also discuss soil types
best adapted for the growing of
cotton, fertilizers, the necessity for
using good seed of an adapted vari-
ETY., and the proper methods of cul-
tivation.
Also included in the weeks sche-
dule is a discussion of coccidiosis in
baby chicks, which will be pre-
sented by H. C. Gauger, poultry
disease specialist.
The full program for the week
Iof March 30-April 4 includes:
Monday, Fred M. Haig, THE Op-

The next in the series of talks
on cotton marketing will be pre-
sented Wednesday. April 8. by
Glenn R. Smith, associate agricul-
tural economist. The subject of
his talk will be methods Used in
Buying Cotton in Local Markets.

The new soil improvement pro-

different set-up than that of the
old AAA.
Instead of commodity divisions
for the various basic crops, there
are five regions into which the
United States has been divided.
Each region will handle all crops
in its territory.

the old AAA are particularly graft
fled over his appointment as di-
rector of this REGION commented
Dean l. o. Schaub, of State College.
"He is thoroughly familiar with
the situation in this State, he has
our interest at heart, and he has
demonstrated his ability to get
things done" .
The new program is like the old
AAA in some respects, however,
the dean pointed out. 1t will be
administered by the State College
agricultural extension service and
its corps of county agents. AT
the same time, much of the pro-
gram will be handled by communi-
ty, county, and state committees
composed of farmers.
The state committee, to be made
up of representative farmers from
each section of the State, will have
a voice in determining many mat
tiers of policy.
The county committees will be
in charge of local administrative
work, including the checking of
growers compliance with the pro-
gram. Community commmittee-
will aid the county commit
tees.

Chicago-Blind Thomas How
ard Overton, 81, and armless Stan
ley A. Kaspryzk, 81, are headed
for a career in lew on a coopera-
tive basis.
How they pooled their physical
resources was disclosed when
Overton announced by the Chica-
go-Kent college of law as the high
ranking scholar in the freshman
class of 175, insisted that Kaspryzk
deserved some of the credit.
Kaspryzk, he said was his "eyes"
and he was Kaspryzk's arms"
They met by chance their first
day in school when the armless
student guided his blind classmate
down a flight of steps. When they
reached the door at the bottom
Kaspryzk couldn't turn the knob
to open it. But Overton could.
Overton could carry books, but
not read them. Kaspryzk could

logical association developed by mu-

punch on a braille form board" he
said. "Out of class Stanley reads
to me and I transcribe my notes on
a typewriter for him. For each of
us it is just a matter of working
harder to overcome a physical
handicap"
When written examinations are
required, Kaspryzk is forced to
call upon one Of his brothers to
write for him. Otherwise the two
handicapped students are "co-suf-
ficient," they agreed.
Overton, whose home is in
Swanwick, ILL.,, lost his sight when
he was 20. Two accidents de-
prived Kaspryzk, a C~hicagoian, of
his arms. He lost one under a train
in a railroad yard when he was IA
and the other four years ago in an
automobile wreck.

17-Year Locusts To
Appear This Spring

change into adults with fully de-
veloped wings. The locust is a
form of July fly rather than a
grasshopper, d.. Metcalf stated.
Usually they do little damage;
occasionally they injure young
orchard trees which have been set
out on new ground. These trees
may be protected by covering them
with mosquito netting Or tobacco
cloth until the locusts disappear.
The department of entomology
at State College is anxious to get a
complete record of this brood, and
has asked that interested persons in
the State keep a lookout for the
insects.
The department will appreciate
any reports received, also speclm-
ems that may be emit in, DIR. Met
calf said. The locusts may be
mailed safely in a strong pasteboard
box.

What spacing should
be given a new planting of dew
berries?
The plants should be
set from four to five feet apart
in rows six feet apart. Press the
soil firmly against the roots and
cut back two or three buds. The
canes should be allowed to
sprawl on the ground during the
first growing season, but should
be tied to stakes or trained on a
two-wire trellis before growth
starts the following spring.
Newly set plants should be fer
tilted with stable manure of a
tablespoonful of nitrate of soda.

New Program Designed
To Reduce Cash Crops

improvement practices such as ter
racing for erosion control or plant
ing forest trees, the dean said.
There are two things a grower
must do to earn this soil building
payment.
First, he must put in soll-con-
serving crops, or devote to soil con-
serving practices, an amount OF
land equal to at least 20 per cent
of his base acreage of depicting
crops.
Each are devoted to soil-con-
serving crops or practices will make
the grower eligible for 81 in a soil
building payment, unless the rate is
changed later, but it will not au-
to~matically earn this payment.
Second, to earn the payment, the
grower must raise soil-buildng crops
or carry out certain soil-buildng
practices.
Under the program. certain
crops and practices have been clas-
sified as soil-conserving, while GER
tain others are known as soil-build-
ing.

When dogwoods and apple trees
are in bloom it is time for the first
planting of tender garden vege-
tables.
This usually means early April
in eastern North Carolina and two
to four weeks later in the foothills
and mountains, depending on the
location and elevation.
Some gardeners take a chance on
earlier paintings, especially with
beans and corn. They say that if
they escape frost, they are that
much ahead of the conservative
gardner.
Why not try some real sweet
corn in 1886? ask H. R. Mis-
winger and E. B. Morrow, extern
sion horticulturists at State College.
Top Gross Bantam and Golden Ban
tam are good varieties that produce
full, rich ears.
Tomatoes for the main summer
crop should be started in April.
Plant the seeds in a protected plant
bed or a shallow box placed in a
sunny window. As soon as the
seedlings are big enough to handle,
set them four inches apart in an
outdoor bed. After they have
been toughened, they can be set in
the field or garden.
Make succession paintings of the
more hardy crops such as beets,
cabbage, carrott, mustard, garden
peas, Irish potatoes, and radishes.
Radishes should be planted every
two weeks until hot weather ar
rives.

available nitrogen fertilizer to slim
ulate their growth.
For an early crop Of sweet pota-
toes, set the plants as soon as
danger from frost has passed.
For the main crop, bed the potatoes
six or seven weeks before time to

seed for IS minutes in a solution
of four ounces of bichloride of
mercury to 81 gallons of water.

Timely Advice
To Farmers

May flowers but they also increase
the worries Of the erosion control
experts in the Soil Conservation
Service. For it is in this period of
heavy and frequent Spring rains
that the menace of active outlying
is at its worst.
Gullies that have not been put
under control but are still active
have their greatest period of growth
at this time when the rain lashes at
the top soil and sends the soil down
the line of least resistence-the
gully channels that have already
been formed-off the fertile fields
and down into the creeks and
rivers, where the soil is lost to the
farmer forever.
As a rsult, the Service recon-
mends that the farmer take advan-
tage of this period, just before the
Spring storms reach their height, to
check up on the condition of their
gullies.
1t is a dangerous policy to leave
a field barren that has been rem
dered unfit for production by
heavy Outlying. These gullies, un-
less treated, will spread and take
in more and more of the fertile
fields, giving the farmer less land
all the time upon which to grow
his crops.
'In case of deeply erosive gulllies
with wide channels" says c. F.
Rowland, assistant forester in
charge Of gully control, "mechani-
cal checks such as log and wire
basket dams are recommended,
They are simple to construct and
are economical. Examples of the
most efficient types of dams may
be seen at any of the State expert
ment stations and have also been
placed where needed on the farms

ject areas in the State.

"In addition to this structural

Farm Questions
Answered At
A COLLEGE

QUESTION: How should sexes
be separated in growing chicks?
ANSWER: The separation should
be made as soon as the males and
females can be determined.
With the Leghorns this can be
determined in from four to six
weeks and from seven to nine
weeks with the American breeds.
As the chicks grow. more floor
space is required and unless this
is provided the chicks will begin
toe picking and feather pulling.
When the chicks are overcrowd-
ed they are much more subject
to disease and develop more
slowly.

will also prevent any further
trouble from contaminated
