Dry Weather Reduces
Columbus Potato Crop

WHITEVILLE, Nov. dry
weather has cut the yield of
sweet potatoes in Columbus more
than half this year, reports Z.
d.. Raper, assistant farm agent
of the State college extension
service.
Farmers who have averaged
from 200 to 800 bushels of U.
S. No. rs during the past few
years have gathered barely more
than 100 bushels of marketable
potatoes.
Many growers are curing their
potatoes in tobacco barns, while
others are selling at the CONNER

county.

Farm Questions
And Answers

Question: How much seed bed
should be provided for planting
ten acres of tobacco?
ANSWER: It generally re-
quires about 100 square yards of
seed bed for each two acres of
tobacco to be planted. However,
due to the prevalence of blue
mold, most growers have been
seeding about one and one-half
times as much bed as is required
in order to be sure of enough
healthy plants. One level tea
spoonful of seed, if evenly sown
over the bed, will be sufficient
for each 100 square yards.
QUESTION: What is the best
method for Kidding my cattle of
lice?
ANSWER: The following re-
needles have proven effective in
controlling cattle lice: CD A four
percent solution of creolin ap-
piled with a spray pump or
brush; CD Cotton seed oil and
kerosene, equal parts; and CD
Ground sabadilla seed and flow
ers of sulphur, equal parts, ap-
piled in powder form. Oils should
be used in very warm or very
cold weather. They should be ap-
piled with a stiff brush and dis
tributed in a thin even layer
over the surface of the body.
When the powder is used, the
hair should be clipped from the
effective parts of the body and
the treatment should be given
within fifteen days to kill lice
which hatch after the first treat
ment
QUESTION: Should vegetable
seed be treated before planting?
ANSWER: While seed treat
ment is not a cure-all for plant
diseases yet it is effective in des-
troying disease-producing organ
isms in and on the seed. It's great
effectiveness becomes apparent
when followed by other methods
such as sanitation, rotation,
spraying and busting, and the use
of disease resistant varieties. Me-
thods for the treatment of var
ious seeds are given in Exten-
sion Circular No. 231, "Growing
Early Vegetable Plants" and CO.
py of this may be had free upon
application to the Agricultural
Editor at State college.

This marks the beginning Of a
new month, new year, and q
new decade. Farming depends
largely on what the individual
makes of it, so now is a good
time to turn over a new leaf and
start improving your agricultural
program, say State College spe-
cialists. And here are sugges-
tions which they offer for the
month of January.
First, DR.. r. F. Poole, plant
pathologist, urges that farmers
prepare their tobacco seed beds
on new sites, locating them
where good soil drainage, good
ventilation, and sunshine are
available during the entire day.
Such precautions will create con-
ditions less favorable to blue
mold than shaded, damp areas.
Then w. H. Rankin, agrono-
mist, says judicious use of ferti-
lizers, proper handling of the soil
and the use of good seed are fac
tors which every grower should
bear in mind when planning his
1910 farming operations. Keeping
the cost of production as low as
possible may mean the difference
between success and failure.
John Arey, extension dairy
man, says let's begin the New
Year right by resolving that the
care and feed which we give our
dairy cattle during 1910 will not
be responsible for any loss that
might occur in conducting our
dairy business. Uncomfortable
COWS, fed on rations deficient
both in quality and quantity, can
not produce efficiently.
And speaking of beginning the
year right, Enos Blair, extension
agronomist, adds that January is
the best time to plan crop rota-
tons and general farm manage
ment systems, and to take an in
ventory so as to keep accurate
records on farming operations.
For the orchardist, H. r. Mis-
Wonger offers these suggestions:
If the ground is not frozen, fruit
trees may be planted during jan

Profit On Beef
Cattle Depends
On Proper Food
Good Mineral Mixture Essen
tiaI. Winter Causes A
Lot Of Anxiety

North Cardinals increasing po-
pulation of good quality beef cat
tie has brought a warning from
Earl H. Hostetler, professor OF
animal husbandry at State Col
lege, that profitable production
depends upon a balanced feeding
program.
Ample feed can be provided in
North Carolina and throughout
the South from May until Dec
ember or January through the
use of pastures and field CLEAN
ings. However, too many farmers
leave their weaned calves. and
COWS that are to freshen the next
spring to shift for themselves
during the winter months. Such
a practice results in stunted year
lings and heavy cow and calf los
ses before grass is ready for graz
| i iag the the f following spring.
| Much of the available winter
feed, such as corn and soybear
field gleanings, corn silage, corn
slower, cottonseed hulls and grass
hay is low in protein and mine
rails. However, Hostetler explain
ed, it is essential that growing
and pregnant animals be sup
piled with these two essentials.
A good mineral mixture COM
posed of equal parts of finely
ground limestone Cor oyster shell
flour), steamed bone meal, ano
salt will give satisfactory results
| if kept before the animals at al
times.
The protein can usually be sup.
piled most economically by fur,
nishing feed that has a high pro
tein content, such as cottonseec
cake or meal, soybean oil meal
or peanut oil meal. When one Of
these feeds, is fed alone rather
than with some carrier such {
cottonseed hulls or corn silage
it will be more economical to feeC
cakes or pellets instead of meal
If a part of the ration shoulc
consist of good legume hay, the
required amount of cottonseec
cake or similar feed may be re.
duced. However, young growing
animals or COWS in calf should be
fed one to two pounds daily tt
facilitate growth.

Farm Mechanics Class Here
MAY Be Model for State

The experimental course here
is one worked out by Mr.. Braker
and Nate H. Bovee, head of the
agriculture department. Similar
courses have been given in
schools in other states for several
years but Minnesota is expert
menting with them for the first
time this year.
Mr.. Braker's report will be
favorable. His class has already
had wide range of practical ex-
perience in use of farm tools. A
handsome hip-roofed chicken
brooder house built by the class
was delivered to the purchaser,
Nels Anderson, this week. A
cattle loading chute, feeders,
waterers, milk stools, tool cabin
cts, berry crates and many other
items have been constructed for
practical experience.
The class studied electricity
learning fundamental things
about its use without endanger-
ing the user; then the mechanics
and care of motors, ignition sys-
TENS and even how to set electric
fence posts.
Elementary work with concrete
was followed by actual construc-
ton of cement fence posts. An
other phase of the course was the
care of tools, including the sharp
ening of saws, chisels, planes and
other implements.
Leather work included the pro-
per method of lacing a belt, care
and repair of harnesses. The class
spent some time learning to splice
rope and make commonly used
knots.
Milk stools and milk pals were
made when the class took up
work with sheet metal, intended
to teach them fundamentals in
the repair of farm equipment.
Some of the students brought
implements to be repaired, clean
ed and painted.
Mr.. Bovee's experience as coun-
ty agent and training in farm work
helped in working out practical
course. Mr.. Braker lived on a
farm until he was II and once
worked as a state dairy inspector
in Wisconsin.
The course was designed for
classes in agriculture, popular
with farm boys, but many city
youngsters also have enrolled for
the work.
