By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agent
N. C. Certified Litters: Per
foi.aance tested certified litters
is the place to purchase top
grade boars and gilts to improve
swine .herds. I have just re
ceived Report No. 1, dated March
15, from the N. C. Swine Evalu
ation Station of State College.
What does this mean?
A swine producer makes ap
plication to the Station and en
ters two pigs from the litter to
be tested. The pigs are fed
out at the Station then they are
butchered and evaluated.
In order to qualify for certifi
cation, both pigs must be 29
inches or more in carcass length,
have not more than 1.6 inehe;
backfat, and have loin eyes c.f
4 inches or more. Both pigs
must weigh 200 pounds at 100
days or less of age.
Any swine growers who are
interested in purchasing breed
ing stock from performance cer
tified litters may contact their
County Extension Office. You
miy look over the list, select the
breed and the breeder to con
tact.
Certified Seed Sweet Potatoes:
I have one or more calls about
every day relative to certified
seed sweet potatoes. Interest in
improved sweet potato seed up-;
pears to have mounted. I am
glad, because good seed, proper- j
ly used, is a major step tow "1
improved sweet potato produc
tion.
Your County Agricultural
Agent has a list of the certif e l
seed producers who have seed
for sale. The list shows the
producer’s name, address, tele
phone number, the varieties and
the number of bushels. Wilbert
Hare of Cross Roads Communi
ty in Chowan County, address
Tyner, N. C„ telephone ni n b<T
Edenton 4078, has for sale cer
tified seed of Goldrush and Nug
%et varieties.
For success with sweet pota
toes use good seed and follow
the improved recommended pro
duction practices. If you need
a practice sheet, let me know. ■
Vegetable Market Plans: There
should be a ready market for
fresh vegetables in Chowan
County this season. The Cho
wan Cooperative Produce Ex
change is planning its operation
for the season. There are aNo
several independent- produce
dealers who do a good job of
marketing.
A good volume of quality pro- 1
ducc, properly packed attracts
buyers. The outlook for ve,; ■-
table prices this year looks a
little better. The planting sea- j
son is on us. Consider vege
tables as one source of increased
income for 19(12. |

i This refund covers gasoline
used in tractors and otner en
gines on the farm but not ve
lu'cics used on the highway. The
: tax money belongs to the farm
ers who paid it but the only
; way he can get it is to apply for
it. I am toid that there are a
; lot of farmers in North Carolina
who are not applying for the
i tax refund. I am sure that their
families need the money even if
■ the farmer himself does not.
Tne law provides that farmers
can get the gasoline tax refund
if they will make proper appli
cation for it. It may not amount
to a gteat deal of money in
many cases, but whatever it is.
it is worth the time and trou
ble to fill out the application
and the postage for mailing it.
Just remember, April 15 is the
final date for last year.
