SEED TREATMENT HELD
ESSENTIAL FOR WHEAT
Scab Or Head Blight, Which
Treating Controls, Caused
By Fungus On Stalks

RALEIGH, Sept. 15.-Dr. Luther
Shaw, plant pathologist of the State
college experiment station, warned
today that seed treatment is es-
sential before the fall seeding OF
wheat, barley, and rye.
Scab or head blight, which treat
ing controls, is caused by a fungus
that overwinters on corn stalks and
old wheat stubble and spreads to
the grain about blooming time.
DR.. Shaw said blowing under or
removal of these corn stalks will
aid greatly in reducing losses re-
sulting from the blight if it is i'm
possible to plant grain on other
land so as not to interrupt the ro'
tation schedule.
1t is always better, the plant
pathologist said, to get seed from
disease-free fields. Seed treatment
before the grain is planted is a
good insurance against losses, es-
recially where grain from inject
ed fields must be used for seed.
For the seed treatment, one-haH
ounce of ethyl mercury chloride
dust is used to each bushel of seed.
County agents will furnish instruc-
tons for applying the dust.
DR.. Shaw pointed out that barley
is increasing in Importance in
Moth Carolina now, largely be-
cause of the development OF oil
sease-reSistant varieties.

EGG PRODUCTION
IS Low in STATE
interpretation Noted In
Poultry Industry In
North Carolina

RALEIGH, Sept. 15.-North Caro-
lima markets are still far from being
amply supplied with home-produced
quality eggs on a ye%ar-around basis
T. T. Brown, extension poultrymar
of State College, said today.
Pointing out further defects, hi
said also that the supply of rea.
high.quality fryers is not steady anc
ample in many sections of the state
This proves, ne continued, that al
though the poultry industry of North
Carolina has grown by leaps ant
bounds in recent years, there is still
a bad case of underproduction.
Other than their lower grain prices
large poultry-producing areas in the
Midwest and in California are ne
more favorably situated for econo
mical poultry production than Ii
North Carolina. These two areas o
furnish eastern cities with large sup
plies of poultry and eggs.
An expanded production in NORTH
Carolina, with emphasis on quality
could capture much Of this prize
market as we'll as furnishing a stead
Ter supply to home markets, the
State college poultryman said.
"Records kept on demonstration
flocks throughout the state prove
that poultry can be raised profit
ably in North Carolina" Brown said
"Of curse, these flocks were fec
and managed properly and were
selected from high-producing stock
Yet any farmer could repeat the sue
cess that demonstration poultrymer
have enjoyed.

continued, "pays the doctor, pays the
taxes. and feeds the preacher. she
scratches her way through life ane

when she's dead. Yes, the old her
is entitled to more respect in NORTH
Carolina than she actually receives.
