INSECTS ATTACK

Harvest

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Oct. 3.-Insects attacking fall
gardens must be controlled, if
full crops of late vegetables are to
be produced, ]. Myron Maxwell,
Extension entomologist at State
College, declared here today.
"Tomato hornworms, for exam
pie, which have developed on to-
matoes and tobacco throughout
the season, are now concentrating
on fall tomatoes but they may be
controlled by applications of cryo-
lite dust or spray" Maxwell said.
He recommended the use of ro-
tenone dust for killing of plant lice
on cabbage, collards, mustard,
turnips and related crops. Nico-
tine dust, containing 8 per cent
nicotine, will also be found effec-
tive in killing plant lice but 1t
should be applied in the heat OF
the day when the temperature is
above 70 degrees, according to the
entomologist.

mended for the control of the

The Tar
Heel
Gardener
BY John H. Harris
N. C. State College

Asparagus is one of the b ut OF
the early spring vegetables, and
one-year-old roots may be set dur.
ing the late fall in establishing the
crop. Roots may also be set in
the spring.
The soil should be thoroughly
prepared and supplied with rela-
lively large amount of organic
matter. Experience shows that it
is best to set the roots deep but
not below the surface of the sub
soil. Rows can be put about AZ
feet wide and the roots placed 200
inches apart in the drill. They
should be covered about 3 inches
deep when planted and later the
soil can be worked up into a bed
along the row.
No shoots should be cut the
first spring because the plants
should be allowed to make full
growth and develop just as large
crown as posi- pie in the soil.
The larger and more vigorous the
crown, the larger the crop of
shoots in succeeding years. 1t is
also good Practice to make only
few light cuttings the second
year.
The crop responds to exception
ally large amounts of fertilizer
but it should be thoroughly incor-
porated with the soil. Two or three
generous applications of high
grade fertilizer early in the spring
will pay good dividends.
During the summer the crop
should be kept free of weeds and
grass so that the plants may re-
main at a steady growth in bull
ding up the crowns. When this is
done, the grower not only gets a
much larger number of shoots but
also much larger shoots, which
are more tender.
The MARY Washington has
been found to be one of the best
varieties for North Carolina.

Suggestions for expanded 1914

agricultural officials. The State
War Boards have been asked te
formulate goals for 1914 which
will enable every farmer to make

calls for planting a record break

FARMERS MAKE
MOST OF. LOT
Schaub Reports Two I'm
bothered By Manpower
Shortage

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Oct. 3.-With many farmers be-
moaning the labor shortage and
hurrying to rid themselves of their
livestock, Director I. o. Schaub
of the Extension Service at State
College reports that two farmers
are making the most of the feed
they have and are planning. to keep
and increase their present stocks.
In Granville County, Farm
Agent C. V. Morgan says in a re-
port to Schaub that Henry Carr
has constructed trench silo that
he has filled with corn from an
eight acre field.
Dry weather earlier this year
caught a large portion of his corn
crop. but Carr feels that with the
feed he is cutting and the A tons
of silage he has packed into his
silo, he will be able to keep his
COWS in good shape through the
winter.
With the help of his son, Henry
Carr, Jr., the farmer has filled
his silo, 60 feet long, seven feet
wide and six feet deep at the up
per end, with the use of the labor
he has on his own farm.
Farm Agent J. P. Woodland re-
ports that in Hyde County, A. B.
Harris of Fairfield is making pro-
visions for feeding his hogs this
winter.
Harris planted II acres of oats
and lespedeza as supplement for
his hogs. He let his sows farroW
on this land in the spring and
the pigs grazed the lespedeza I'M
til the corn was ready.
Now he has $50 shoats, ranging

WINTER COVER
CROPS PLANTED
Special Bulletin Now
Available On Soil
Protection

STATE COLLEGE, Raleigh,
Oct. 3.-North Carolina growers
are planting larger than unusual
acreage of winter cover crops this
fall to protect the bare soil dur
ing the winter months, DR.. E. R.
Collins, in charge of Extension
agronomy at State College, an
nounced here today.
He reported that Washington
County, for example, has received
400 bags of vetch and 400 bags
of Austrian winter peas, which
are to be planted as soil protect
ing crops. Northampton County is
planting $4,000 pounds of vetch
seed for winter cover crops.
According to the agronomist,
there is great loss of soil and
fertilizer nutrients through ero-
sion and teaching where the soil is
not protected by cover crop dur
ing the winter This loss can be
prevented when d green cover is
kept on the land and the use of
legumes, which take their nit
rogen from the air, helps to build
up the plant food content of the
soil as well as protect it.
The Extension Service at State
College has prepared special bull
ietin on winter cover crops and it
is free to farmers of North Caro-
lima. DR.. Collins suggested that
growers Interested in protecting
their soil ask their county agent
for a copy of War Series Bulletin
No. "a, entitled Austrian Winter
Peas, Crimson Clover and Vetch, :"
or write the Agricultural Editor,
State College, Raleigh, for it.
