The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-05
BY H. A. STALLINGS

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. A.
Farmers day here is primarily
a great tribute to the keen vi
sion and the inexhaustible ener-
gy of Charlie Clark, Osnlow
County Agricultural agent. For
IL months, Charlie has been
talking about the day to the
farmers and the business men.
For the past week, he has been
at work day and night complet-
ing arrangements for the exhib-
its. Friday morning, the veri-
table ovation that greeted him
when he stepped to the micro
phone showed the people appre-
ciate and understand that he is
the power house for the annual
event.
The crowd overlooked the
street in front of the Agricul-
tural building and filled the
seats on the courthouse lawn.
There were white farmers and
their families. There were Me-
gro farmers and their families.
There were visitors from other
counties. 1t was a great gather
ing and it was an attentive audi
ence.
Mayor John Aman extended
the welcome and the invocation
was by the Rev. L. L. Parrish,
pastor of the First Methodist
church. Allen Horne, member
of the Future Farmers of Amer
lea and a student in the Voca-
tional Agricultural school in
Richards, made an effective
appeal for, the balanced train
ing of the younger generation.
He deplored the failure of the
school to hold the boys and girls
between the seventh and 18th
grades. He told of the loss of
graduates to other sections,
boys and girls who ought to be
returning to the farms as lead
ers. Young Horne is leading the
state in corn production with a
yield of 1876 bushels to the acre.
The morning program closed
with an address by j. Melville
Broughton, former governor of
North Carolina. He emphasized
that only farm prosperity can
absorb farm depressions and he
recommended farm organiZa.

Farming Notes
By III. ID. QueSsenberry
Seeding LadinO Clover

In the past two weeks, many
farmers have asked the question
how to seed their Ladino
clover, 1 will try to answer a few
of those questions in this article
/. Kind of land on which to
seed Ladino clover: Of course
better growth will be made by
Ladino clover on land where the
moisture content and fertility
level are both fairly high. Actual
experience Of farmers show that
any medium textured, we'll drain
ed soil level to billy of medium
to high fertility should be wei
adapted to the physical charac,
teristics Of Ladino clover. The
soil should be tested for acidity
Ladino clover does not require
as much lime as alfalfa.
2. Preparation Of the seed bed
A we'll prepared seed bed is de-
sirable for Ladino clover. II
Ladino is to be used in a per-
manent pasture mixture, it may
be seeded the same way as White
Dutch clover. If the plant is tC
be added to a permanent pasture
that is already established, the
soil or surface soil should be al
least slightly scratched or scarifi-
ed in order to allow for the cover
ing of seed. On this permanent
pasture, would suggest a disk
harrow, weighing the disk and
setting the blades almost straight
not rolling the present sod over
If Ladino clover is to be seeded
alone or in combination with
grass (Orchard grass or dog fOOt
For hay or supplementary grass
a good firm seed bed should be
prepared. Since the plant is a
perennial and stands remain on
the land for several years, the
elimination of all weed seed is
important. Before seeding, it is
we'll to float or roll the land, pre-
ferably with a cultipacker or a
drag so that firm seed bed is
obtained.
3. Fertilization: Soil where
Ladino clover is to be grown
should have good supply OF
calcium and phosphate. Two tons

of ground limestone or its equiVa-
lent per acre will usually meet
the calcium requirements (if the
land has not been lined for the
past four years). Most soil should
have at least 100 pounds of phOs-
phate (P205) 600 pounds of 300
superphosphate) per acre Where
soil is known to be deficient in
potash, growth will be aided if
liberal application of muriate
of potash is made at planting.
All applied fertilizers should be
worked lightly into the surface
soil just before seeding This may
be accomplished by disk harrow
set to cut very shallow.
f. incubation of seed: Inocula-
ton of Ladino clover seed is very
necessary since it aids in giving
better stand survival by more
readily starting the nitrogen fix
ing action of the plants. On land
Ct average fertility, no further
nitrogen need be added if a good
incubation is secured.
5. Rate Of Seeding: Two pounds
per acre with 10 to Is pounds of
orchard grass where new seed
ing is to be established. Three
pounds per acres is sufficient
where Ladino clover is to be seed
ed alone. One to two pounds per
acre will be sufficient on an es-
tablished pasture.
6. Method Of seeding: When
Ladino clover is to be seeded with
permanent pasture mixture or
with grasses, it can be soWn with
a cyclone or any common hand
seeder. 1t is better to SOW half
of the seed in one direction and
the remainder of the seed at
right angles to the first applica-
ton. The seed should be cover
ed lightly. This may be done
by a cultipacker or a brush such
as crab apple brush, if the
cultipacker is not available
Where Ladino clover is seeded
with small grain such as oats, it
is usually sufficient to follow the
grain drill with the seed mixture.
The clover will not grow very
fast until the grain is cut off but
then rapid growth can be ex-
pected.
7, When to seed: Precaution
should be remembered in seed
ing Ladino clover-not to seed
when the weather is hot and dry.
Best results are obtained from
spring or early fall seedings-for
our section-April or August. A
few good stands have been secur-
cd by seeding like we have Grim
son clOVer-in corn after the
last cultivation. We feel sure
that every farm should get I.adino
clover established and it is i'm
Dortant to not cover the seed too
deep.
The best safety rule in handl-
ing bulls is to handle them as
little as possible, says David S.
Weaver, head Of Agricultural En-
cheering department, State Col
lege.
Dahlia roots should be planted
in a horizontal position from four
to seven inches deep, with eye

JIMCROW'S EFFECTS
The same issue came up for
sharp debate in the last convention
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen. There too, the effort to
change the constitution was defeat
ed.
But the fact that this matter
forced it's way on the floor of these
two conventions is indicative Of the
changes to come.
Cause of these slow changes in
side the railroad unions is the grow
ing recognition by thousands of
white workers that discrimination
against minority groups, if contin-
ued, will destroy their unions.
Last week, local officer Of the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen in
the San Francisco Bay Area told
their reporter:
"You can't build a union with
discrimination"
No industry better illustrates the
truth of this remark than railroad.
Instead of a few powerful unions
working together, we find a chaos
