GRAIN PLANTERS
ARE CAUTIONED

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
June 2.-Many thousands Of dol
lars will be lost this year by North
Carolina grain growers unless they
are particularly careful in the haf-
vesting, curing, and storing the
crop, says Extension agronomy
specialists at State College.
The grain should not be COM
bined until it is thoroughly ripe
until the heads droop and the straw
is rather dark in color, according
to the agronomists. Also, it should
not be cut too soon after rains.
The grain may appear to be dry
while it actually contains re-
latively large amount of moisture
and is in no condition for har-
vesting.~ .-. ... "
Then, after the grain is COM
bined, it must be thoroughly dried
out before it is taken to the miller
or offered for sale. Grain cannot
be put into elevators wnen even
slightly damp because it will quick
ly heat and cause large losses.
The agronomists suggest that the
farmer try the following test to
determine when his wheat, for ex-
ample, is dry enough for market.
Spread the fingers of the hand and
reach down into the ga Of wheat.
If the grain is dry enough for mar
ket, the hand can easily reach
down into the middle of the bag
without forcing. If the wheat is
SLIGHTLY damp, it sticks to the hand,
and one cannot easily reach down
into the middle of the bag.
ANY small grain that is to be
saved for seed should be quick
ly dried after harvesting or it will
heat and the termination of the
grain will be lowered.
The agronomists also suggest
that the grains be projected from
weevil damage during the summer.
County agents can supply the lat
est recommendations of the Elk.

the grain.

BURBERRY LOOMS
AS new INDUSTRY

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
1,,ne 3.-One of the coming new
Industries on the poor soils of the
low country of Eastern Carolina
/ is the production of blueberrieS,
according to farm agents from ten
counties and State College Exten-
sion specialists, who have just re-
turned from a trip to the BURBERRY
fields of Fender and Sampson coun-
ties.
The tour was conducted by Exten-
sion Horticulturist j. Y. Lassiter,
and E. B. Morrow, small fruits ex-
pert of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station. Conferences were
held with DR.. G. M. barrow, DR..
w. W. Aldridge, and J. B. Dema-
rec of the USDA; with L. G. Willis
of the Soil Research Laboratory of
Wilmington; and with others. Di-
sease and insect damage to the
BURBERRY crop were discussed and
the visitors were shown the devel-
opment of new varieties by cross
ing, and the grading and packing of
the fruit On the farm of Gale Har-
rison near Ivanhoe.
There are about $50 acres of
blueberries in the section and the
yields run from 200 to $50 flats
of "a pints each to the acre on the
better farms.
It takes about five years to get
into full scale BURBERRY produc-
ton and the costs per acre were
estimated at from $500 to 1855 per
acre, depending on whether the
grower propagated his own plants
or purchased them.
Highblush blueberries are grown
in New Jersey, North Carolina, and
Michigan, principally, with smaller
paintings in Massachusetts, New
York and Washington State. The
cultivated berries are much SUI
perior to the wild types and the
Agricultural Experiment Station is
developing superior new berries
for the industry.

All Better Hogs Under

Previously, the floor did not ap-

On April II, the $3.50 support

Plans also are under way to put

Except for cotton the season has
been excellent for farming in
North Carolina this spring and
people have been working harder
han l have ever seen them be-
fore. During the past two weeks,
l have Travelled over much Of the
state and everywhere, men and
women along with the young folks
are in the fields, out in the lots,
or in the gardens and truck fields
hard at work attempting to get
their crops started or TO harvest
and sell those which are ready
for the market. Throughout east
ern Carolina, tobacco is growing
well and corn while not up to a
perfect stand, is dark green and
pushing along at splendid rate.
One can go along the road in one
county and see the owners reset
ting tobacco in one field, chop
ping it in another, and blowing in
a third. There is not SO much cot
ton as last year and it is growing
slowly. Some people have replant-
ed as many as three times in the
effort to get. a stand. The cool
weather has retarded the crop and
some of it is getting grassy be-
cause of the frequent showers.
But l don't believe | have ever
seen SO many good farm gardens.
This is true for the whole state
Not only does one see these gar
dens around the farmstead where
all kinds Of early vegetables, in
GLIDING snap5eans, squash and all
kinds of greens are being gathered
but they can be found in fertile
spots in fields. There are probably
more Irish potatoes planted o r
home use this. season than normal
ly. Citizens of North Carolina are
responding to the call for more
food. This is also indicated in the
effort made to grow feed for the
dairy cattle, poultry and beef cat
tie. The demand for fencing ma
terial is Increasing steadily indicat-
ing an increased popularity f +
chickens and cows. The one-strand
electrical fences are to be seen
wherever there ar e rural power
lines and farmers seem to be learn
ing that it is more economical 10
let the animals harvest their feed
than it is more economical to
let the animals harvest their feed
than it is to haul it to them at
the barns.
One encouraging sign noted in all
of this farm work is that operators
are employing all the farm ma
chinery that they can get and are
otherwise saving labor through in
creased skill in performing the va
rious jobs. The idea seems to be
to make every lock count. A

city when they fed battle areas,

by the AMG. The one thing they
