Farmers Demanding
Better Seed Stock
Tar Hed farmers are demanding
more certified seed with each pass
ing seastm.
J; C. Rice, director of the N.
C. Crop Imprctvement association,
reports that each year growers of
certified small grain seed exhaust
their available seed supply.
I^ing the past season, an ad
ditional 1,OOP acres of certified
small grain were planted to help
meet the increasing demand. There
were increases in the certified ac
reages of wheat and barley, while
the amount of oats decreased be
cause of the adverse weather.
Rice says Norths Carolina , farm
ers will have approximately 65,000
bushels of Atlas 66 wheat certified

By E. H, SIMS
What is an occluded fropt? What
causes them to form?
An occluded front is almost al
ways formed when a cold front
(which travels up to 35 mph or
sometimes even faster) overtakes
the slower-moving warm front.
The cold moist mass pushes the
Warm, often moist, air upward and
there is a mixing process which
may confuse the observer, on tbe
ground and even the professional
in his forecasting office.
A characteristic of an occluded
front is heavy rain and often
strong winds. Often, however, the
cold front which overtakes the
cold front which overtakes the
warm will sp.eed up the egistwmd
movement of weather and clearing
will come sooner than had the
warm front passed overhead in a
normal manner.
There will also be 20,000 bushels
of the Anderson variety available.
The G. Crop rmprovemenf
association certifies only two vari
eties of barley; Colonial 2 and
Davie. During the past season 1,-
000 acres of these varieties have
been inspected for certification.
Rice reminds farmers that both
of these varieties are susceptible
to smut, but by planting certified
seed they are assured of a mini-
mrum of smut damage.
Due to adverse weather, the
production of certified oats drop
ped from 3,5P0 to 2,600 acres.
About 2,000 of these acres were
planted in Victorgrain 48-93, the
leading oats variety.
The farmers will still have about
100,000 bushels of certified seed
of Victorgrain 48-93 for seeding
this fall. Rice said.
Demands for certified rye seed
caused the production of N. C.
Abruzzi rye to increase from 200
to 400 acres.

Select a-slack tin** diiring the
summer months to get your sweet
potato storage house ready for
curing and storing when harvest
time comes. Used baskets and
crates should be cleaned and dis
infected as well as the wails and
floor of the storage house. You
may either spray or fumigate.
For houses that eannot be made
air-tight, spraying with copper is
best. Use one pound of
sulfate (Bluestpne) to 10 eaUons of
water. Spray the walls thoroughly
and all containers, inside and rout-
side. The containers may be dip
ped in the ' copper solution but
spraying is less trouble.
Copper sulphate has a very de
cided corrosive effect on metal
parts of the sprayer. Wash the
sprayer thoroughly with lime wa
ter to neutralize this effect
If your house can be made air
tight, you can use either chloropi-
crin (tear gas) or sulphur for fum
igation. Chloropicrln should be
used at the rate of one-half pound
for each one thousand cubic feet
of space. Finely grdund sulphur
can be burned at the rate of one
pound per one thousand cubic feet
of space. The burning of sulphur
may create a fire hazard, so take
precautions.
When either, fumigant is used,
close the house for 24 hours 'and
then air out well before entering.
A relatively higb humidity must
be maintained during fumigation
in order to do an effecfive job.
Thoroughly wet the floor and side
W,alls .6 to. 12 hours before fumiga
ting.
Both chloropicrln and sulphur
are very irritating to the respira
tory passages and should not be
breathed even in low concentra
tions. Be careful!
What about the growing crop?
Since the weather has been so un
usual this spring and summer, you
may run into a nitrogen deficiency
if heavy and prolonged rains have
been the rule in your community.
Watch out for this.
If you observe a nitrogen defi
ciency, top dress with just enough
nitrogen to overcome it. Better
have your eounty agent look over
the situation with you if you are
in doubt. Nitrogen deficiency is
most likely to occur in the j^ht-
er sandy soils.
