EXTE^IONSCEPJE IAGRICULTURAL IhHMhJP seRVICE10N Jon fBSjSL On the way to the office last Friday morning, 1 was think ing about what can 1 do my column on this week, since I normally write this column on Friday before it is published the following week. As the thought crossed my mind. I thought, well I can make some comments about the many agribusiness firms and their representatives that stop bv the Extension Office and who cooperate so well in our educational programs. Also, mention could be made about the number of educational meetings that they hold in Robeson County and that they extend special invitations to the farmers and to the appro priate Extension agents. A good example was last week when Everett Davis and I attended a special get ac quainted and fact finding meeting that Rohm and Haas was conducting at Johnny McArthur's farm at Wakulla. The very next night Larry Locklear. who is a regular through the Extension Office, held a special cotton produc tion meeting in his role as representative for Ciba Geigy Corporation. But I thought, well that won't really make a column, so 1 refelected upon some of the problems that had been encountered during the past week. Well, they were just simply too numerous to give any detail on. So 1 thought, well, lots of our hog producers have been experiencing prob lems with leg weakness and general skeletal weakness and these problems have been coming from an improper calcium-phosphorus balance in the rations that they are using. But, that problem is so specific that it would hardly apply to enough readers who would be interested in the calcium-phosphorus ratios in swine feeds and the effect that it has on the reproduction performance and overall effi ciency of a swine operation. So on to something else. Then the thought arose that there was a tremendous re iu a rewiu cuiuiiui regarding fertilizing fish ponds and folks needing additional information relat ing to fish ponds. Thus, I said, since we had gotten such a response and a fairly large number of people seem to need to know where to obtain fish from, that I need to tell all the folks that they can make application for bream and bass at the local Soil Conservation Service Office or the Extension Office. Then the bream will be delivered in the fall with the bass being delivered in the spring. Also, it seemed appropriate to share that we recommend for fertilized ponds, the stocking of 1,000 bream per surface acre plus an additional 100 large mouth bass for the same surface acre. Well, that information seems quite appropriate, but that in itself will not fill the space of a column. So as I walked into the office, I saw a brand new arrival of bullet ins entitled Carofina Lawns. Then I knew I had it. Since a daily course of calls regard ing lawns, lawn improvement, and selection of appropriate grasses for quality lawns, 1 knew that 1 had the answer to filling a column this week. However, as I walked to my office, I found on my desk a group of brand new publica tions that had just come from the Extension printing press es at N.C. State. Then I thought, just a minute, let me look through these and see if there's not even somethng that would be better to put in the column than some com ments about lawn care. Sure enough, there was enough 1 information in those bulletin* to provide resource informa tion for 25 columns. Well, the problem began all over again. What am 1 really going to do this column on? Then, I reviewed a new pamphlet entitled Petpsuwf of Hams Car* Ideas. This little pamphlet gave some excellent information on rust being the number one enemy of iron and how to control rust on iron cook ware. It suggested that to remove light rust, one would need to scrub with number one naught (0) or two naught (00) steel wool or wire brush. Most rust buildup can be removed with persistent scrubbing. It also said that there are a number of com mercial rust removers avail able. These can be applied according to the product directions and to be sure and check the action of the cleaner on the metal itself. It caution ed that extensive etching or pitting can occur if the solution stays on too long. It further stated that to deter rust buildup on decora tive pieces use a rust retard ant paint. These paints come in a variety of colors as many people are well aware. Also, for best results, be sure the item is dry and rust free before painting. A clear, flat acrylic spray can also serve as a rust retard ant finish. It again suggested that one apply these according to product directions. Well, I knew that we were going to order 100 copies of this little bulletin for anyone who would like to use it, so the thought of doing an entire column from this resource information re lating to the care of alumi num, brass and copper, butcher blocks, ceramic tile, chromium, et cetera just didn't seem evitable, since anyone could receive a copy at the Extension Office. "Then, 1 glanced at another piece of information that we will be mailing to all of the individuals who participated in the Farmers Market last year, and it is entitled Insect Control for Vegetable Gar deners. This pamphlet con tains control information on more than 25 major insect pests as well as ways to deal with 75 or more insect forms that can exist in one's garden. Thus, again 1 knew that the information contained in that pamphlet was simply too voluminous to provide any recommendations in a column yet, it will be available without charge at the Exten sion Office. Then, finally I knew that I had hit on a.beautiful column id?a when I reviewed some information on the pollination of vine crops. But following all of these comments and some of the recommendations that 1 have already given, this co lumn is already getting too long. So be sure to read this column next week when I share with you information on pollination and its importance to food production. Tim iijuuu j~a~s~n~a~ ft PEMBROKE NEWS * MRS. BAZIE HARDIN The American National In surance Company sadly an nounces the disability of thier District Manager, I. L. Tes eniar effective May 3, 1962. We are temporarily losing a friend, as well as a strong sucessful district manager.
