Yours very sincerely, Rachel Everett Home Demonstration Tl.MELY FARM QUESTION ANSWERED STATE COLLEGE Q. My cotton has stopped growing and seems to be at a standstill. The plants are yellow and wilter- ed in many parts of the field. What can I do to correct this? .■kns. A side application of some readily soluble form of nitrogen such as sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda, should be made just after chopping and. before the first cultivation. Use from 50 to 100 pounds to the acre and apply along the rows from 2 to 3 inches from the plants. This application will tend to produce good stems, leaves, roots and limbs and will start the plant to growing satis- facorily. Offers Services In Canning This Summer Q. The leaves of my burning bush are covered with small white scales and the twigs with brown chaff. Some of the leaves have turned yellow. What is the trouble and what can I do? Ans. The bush is affected with euonymous scale which is common to this plant. It may be controlled however, by repeated sprays with one of the summer emulsions such as Volk, applied thoroughly so a.s to cover all leaves and branches. Applications must be repeated‘due to the dense growth of the plant. During the dormant season the shrub should be sprayed twice with a soluble oil. Both the oil and emulsion can be secured from seedmen, implement dealers, or wholesale druggists but should be used as dii-ected by manufactur ers. Q. My oats and barley have a large number of black heads this year. What is this disease and how can 1 prevent it? Ans. The black heads are caused by smut which comes from a para-itic fungi entering the plant- either at the time the seed is ber ing formed or at the time the seed is sprouting after planting. There is no control for the disease after the plants are effected but it may be prevented by treating the seed grain with formaldehyde. This treatment should be made be fore planting time. Miss Rachel Everett, Home De monstration Agentyoffers her ser vices in aranging for special de monstration meetings in cannihg and drying in every community so de siring it. She wishes to call the attention of all committees on Public Wel fare and relief, of the need of special work along this line, for the needy cases who were in need of charity last year, as well as those who are unemployed. Food will go to waste this sumer, just as it has every summer, if people are not taught to conserve it. Any community not having a Home Demonstration club and wish ing a meeting on this subject, can secure help from' this department. Twenty-four meetings have already been planned for June, however, by having some more night meetings,' work night be done near Smithfield. Howevei^ please send request in early, if agent cannot take charge caning leaders will be asked to go from variou.s' clubs. A special canning demonstration was given on Thursday, May 24, and the fourth Thursday of each month will be reserved for this Public de- mon-;tration. However, it will be held at 10 a. m. Everybody is invited. Last meeting there were twenty- four present. Four different vege tables and stra'wberry preserves were prepared. Next meeting- can ning of summer fruits and vege tables and drying will be demon strated. Every club woman ed to teach some one else can and dry products for shelves next winter. Cotton Stanxls Fairly Good In North Ca:rolina Cotton stands are reported “fair ly good” in North Carolina with re cent beneficial rains supplying suf ficient moisture in late planted fields to insure germination. Chopping is well under way in the southern half of the State, but cool weather has somewhat retarded .germination in the higher altitude sections. Indications are that cotton is re placing both tobacco and peanut acreage in some of the eastern coun ties. Reports received from all sec tions of the cotton belt indicate that all planting in the South will not be completed until probably about July 1 in the extreme northern edge of the belt. Cotton is up in the lower two thirds of the belt ,and has already started to “squaring” in the lower third. ■ Chopping is about completed in the lower half of the belt and fields are relatively free of grass and weeds. About 90 per cent of the entire crop has been planted. In the upper half, planting - is being completed rapidly and there appears to be ample moisture for germination. E-timates of acreage reduction throughout the entire belt continue to range from five to not exceed- in.g 10 per cent.—N; C.

MAY TOP-DRESS TOBACCO IF CONDITIONS WARRANT If the tobacco has started to grow off slowly with large plants and small plants, weak plants and vigor ous plants in the same portion of a field, it might pay this season to side-dress the crop with an appli cation of some quick-acting nitrogen material in an attempt to get plants of uniform growth and quality. Usually the department of agron omy at State College does not re commend side-dressing tobacco but it may be safe to do so this year where the plants are all mixed as to sizes and conditions of growth and where not so much fertilizer was used at planting time. Particul arly is this true on the lighter sandy soils. E. Y. Floyd, extension tobacco specialist at State College, has been Tresieged with inquiries about this subject this season. Some growers did not use all the fertilizer pur chased early in the spring for the, reason that they did not have enough plants. Many wanted in formation about using this fertilizer around the tobacco. “Where growers have used from ■600 to 800 pounds . an acre of an S-3-3 fertilizer at planting, it would be safe on the lighter, sandy soils, where too much growth has not been had in the past, to mix up some quick-acting nitrogen material with some sulphate of potash or sulphate of potash-magnesia and use this at the rate of about 75 pounds an acre around the tobacco,” says Mr. Floyd. '“A mixture made of 50 pounds of The preponderance of the acreage to cash crops and the comparatively small amount of livestock .g:rown -dn North Carolina constitutes the most serious handicap to a successful and permanent agriculture in the State. “North Carolina has a land area of approximately 31,000,000 acres,” says I. 0. Schaub, dean of agricul ture at State college. “Eighteen mil lion acres of this total are farm lands; however, only about seven million acres are planted to culti vated crops. The major acreage is to corn with about one-fourth of the cultivated farm land being in this crop. Then about 400,000 acres are planted to small .grain; 500,000 to hay; 1,600,000 to cotton; 700,000 to tobacco; 120,000 to potatoes and about 40,000 to ve.getables harve.sted for sale. This means that too much of our land is given to the growth of the so-called cash crops.” Good farmers are demonstrationg that feed and forage crops needed by livestock can be grown in all parts of the State and if North Carolina farmers will change their system pf croping so as to produce feed, then increase their poultry, hogs, sheep and cattle to a point where they may supply all family needs with some for market, they will see an improvement. This will aid in maintaining the fertility of the soil, will help to utilize the labor throughout the year, will provide a constant income and will bring about a better day in agriculture. Dean Schaub says some are doing this but not enough. The- strength of North Carolina lies in the soil and a fertile soil with livestock will bring about new conditions ■which will be favorable to all the people in the State, he believes. Early gardens are thriving and the first alfalfa cuttings have been made in Burke county. Recent rains have permitted the setting of a good acreage to cabbage, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and other food crops. nitrate of soda or 40 pounds of sul phate of ammonia with 100 pounds of the potash material -would be good for this purpose.” After the tobacco plants have reached a height of from 12 to 15 inches, it K dangerous to use any kind or amount of side applications of fertilizer, Floyd says. If top- dresing is to be done, it should be made at the first cultivation, and certainly not later than the second plowing. The third Sunday in this month, June 19th is Father-’ Day. Regard less of conditions and situations we wish to appeal to every inmate not to let this day pass without some recognition. If he is living write him a- letter of love and make him feel that his boy has not forgotten. Just remember that beneath any relations of the past there exists a fatherly love for his boy and a letter from you at this time will touch that spark into action that will help you on in your fight to regain your place among loved ones on the out side. Many of us wait until it is too late to appreciate the virtures of our fathers. Most fathers 'do not care much that a noise be made over them, but in the quite moments after business hours are over and while possibly enjoying a good cigar or reclining at rest in the old arm chair, his j-eflections center around his boy. It doesn’t make any dif ference where you are, one great fact is that you are his son and his heart secretely goes out to you. He may have reprimanded you in the past and stood rigid in his belief, feeling that all was for yoqr .good. He may have been wrong, yet all of- it meant to him the good of his boy. If you have gone against his instructions and wishes, now is a good time to tell him so. Close up any old hanging difference with a good clever letter. You can’t do any harm. You may make a father love you more and loud your good quali ties even though you’re , down for the present. On the other hand if he has laid down his weary burden and sleeps the sleep of peace and rest, stop for a few moments on this selected day and think of him. Let pass through your mind the many happy times of the past that you enjoyed his love and affection. You’re bound to get a kick out qf it that will do your heart .good. Don’t forget.—The Prison News. For the four-months period from .January to April fertilizer tag sales in the thirteen Southern states were 40 per cent below sales for the cor- respo'nding period a year ago, ac cording to a release from the econ omics division of the Federal Farm Board. Fertilizer sales during the period were 58 percent below those of 1930 inAhis territory. “The best showin.g,” the release said, “was made in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Missouri and Texas “The largest decline was hown in Arkansas. “Tag ^ales during April for Texas and Oklahoma were more than 100 per cent of last April, 1931. April sales in South Carolina showed a decline of only 3 per cent, Georgia 7 per cent, North Carolina 12 per cent, from April a year a.go.”—N .C. Cotton Grower.
