Herbert Hoover is now deAnlte ly In the race for the Republican nomination for president, sailing hie hat in just in time to be voted for in the Ohio primaries. North Carolina bids fair to be "first" in another item thla year It's tobacco this time. Up to February the 9G sales warehouses had sold 408,030,000 pounds of leaf at an average price of 23 cents. The production in 1927 was about 90,000,000pounds more than the previous year. Kentucky is North Carolina's only close competitor in tobacco production. Col. Charles A. Liudberg bop ped off early Monday morning from Havana, Cuba, on the last leg of hie return trip for St. Lonis, covering 12U0 miles in a non-stop flight in 15 hours and six minutes. Slnoe leaving Washington on Dec. IS for Mexico, he has flown abont 9,000 miles withont a mishap and has visited 15 governments in Central and South America and the West Indies. His performance as an aviator will be a marvel for the years to come. James A.

To give tiuiely sugges tions about how this had best, be done, C. F. Parrish, poultry ex tension specialist at State College has prepared a few condensed suggestions which will be of inter est to all growers. In batching, he suggests: 1. Select large well-formed eggs that are uuifonn in shape, size and color. 2. Collect hatching eggs often i n cold weather. 3. Store where temperature will stay around 40 to 60 degrees. 4. Do not incubate eggs over ten days old. 5. Locate incnbator in cellar, basement or some dark place where the sunlight is not directly on the machine. Have no draft on the machine. <. 6. Provide plenty of good venti lation. 7. Level the machine after thoroughly disinfecting the trays aud the machine iu general. 8. Regulate at the desired temperature before placing eggs in machine. 9. Operate the ineubator ac cording to the manufacturer's di rections. 10. Keep an eye, on the temp erature. Do not let it vary. 11. A greater percent of the hatch depends on the operator rather than on the machine, other things being equal. 12. Turn the eggs at least three times each day, beginning on the third day and ending on the morning of the 18th day. 18. Candle the eggs on the ?tb and 14th days, using the infertile eggs for feed but boil for 20 min utes before feeding to prevent the spread of bacillary white diar rhea. In brooding, Mr. Parish sng geata: 1. Harden the chicks by be rely crsoking the door of the incubator before moving to the brooder. 2. Leave chicks in the incubator one day after batch ia over if pos sible. 3. Have brooder started one day previous to arrival of chicks. Get it so regulated that the temp erature under the canopy will be 100 degrees at sis inches froui the ontaide. 4. Do not feed chicks too early ?not before 60 or 72 hours. The abdomen moat be flabby or soft before feeding or bad results will follow. 5. Do .not crowd the chicks; 350 is enough for any brooder except the hot water equipment. 6. Sharp, eoarse sand should bo and or the canopy as grit bot not fine sand. 7. Supply plenty of sour milk ia a oontainer where the chicks cannot get wet. Do not use a tin reeepUmte. / 8. retd sparingly the flint week bat toed often Ire times a day. 9. Leave mash before the ekleks after the fleet weak.

Va le of Lime Depends on Magnesia Tho value of ground limestone : used on land to be planted to tobacco depends largely on the uiaguesia which the lime con tains. "When magnesia is deficient in the soil and is not supplied by the fertilizer or by liming, the yield of flue-cured tobacco may be greatly lowered," says E. G. Moss, director in charge of the tobacco branch station at Oxford. "The symptoms of magnesia deficiency are readily recognized ou the growing plant. The ma terial can be supplied by potash salts containing magnesia and by ground limestone. Onr results do not show any great benefit from liming other than from the magnesia supplied by tho lime stone used." Mr. Moss states that results at IheOxforl station shows that a characteristic chlorosis which lowered the yield and quality of the tobacco produced could be corrected by using the dolomilic limestone: This limestone also increased the yield and improved the quality. The trouble.was also remedied by using potash salts and carrying mngnesia. The value of dolomitic limestone as a remedy for this chlorosis or sand drown does not depend on its sc tion in correcting soil acidity. A clear distinct ion is to be made between tho use of lime, as such, for tobacco and the use of dolo mitic limestone as a remedy for sand-drown on magnesia defi ciency. In the tests at Oxford, Mr. Moss has compared calciteand dolomit ic limestone and finds that the use of ground limestone on these soils is not likely to give marked increase in the yield of tobacco unles- the dolomitic form which carries a considerable quantity of magnesia is used. Where no lime has been used previously be advo cates a heavy application of 1.00Q pounds pec acre of the dolomitic limestone applied broadcast. He states that the use of calcite lime stone apparently does not give any permanent beneficial results. Where used continuously, it has a tendeucyto. decrease the yield and itajure the quality. Oats Badly Rilled by Winter Freeze. 11 may be better to plant some ap: Mg oats this year than to de pi 1 on buying high priced hay. Fa -sown oats were badly killed fay : lie recent winter freezes and many farmers in North Carolina who were depending on this crop for iheir hay supply will need hay before tbey can grow a summer crop. "Oat hay is one of the best roughage feeds for work stock that we have in North Carolina," says 1', H. Kiine, plant breeder for the North Carolina Experiment Station. "It is possible to reduce the corn ration whet good oat hay is available aud while many farm ers are opposed to planting spring oats because of the uncertainty of getting a good yield, conditions are such now, that they must take a chance on spriug-sown oats or have no hay for feed in early summer. It is true that fall-sowu oats, when not winter-killed, usually, make better yields but au emergenoy condition exists this year and more spring oats should be planted." Failure with spring oats usually comes from planting too late, use of unadopted seed, poor prepara tion of the seed bed, no fertilizer and planting on poor soils, states Mr. Kime. Oats do better on heavy soils than on the light, san dy soils. Those fields where cot ton grows too , rank under boll weevil conditions might well be plaulcd to oats. In the eastern part of the State the oats should be planted between February first and March first and one to two weeks later in the piedmont re gion. A good role is to plant 'atom six weeks before the aver age dale of the last killing frost. When planted in the spring, the oat* must be heavily seeded. About three bushels to the acre needs to lie used. The beet varie ties are the Fulghum and Appier, with the Fulghum usually giving beet returns. If planting is de layed, it may be wise to nee the Burt variety. These three varie ties sre better than northern grown seed which are late matur ing and seldom make good yields aader North Carolina conditions. North Carolina is committed to Mexleas Big Boll and improved straiee Of the Cleveland Big Boll pa the two varieties of cotton best ?sited to* this Stats. Good well bred seed of these varieties give i better rdtbrns than nearly any otl. r tried by the North Carolina Kxperi meat Station. ' Soybeans Poor Feed For Fattening Hogs. ' While the soybean is one of the moot valuable summer legume crops for North Carolina, it is a poor feed lor fattening hogs. "Experiments conducted by our workers have shown conclusively that soy bean seeds are unsatisfac tory for pork production because they are lacking in palatibility, pro duce a soft carcass and give a low amount of pork per acre wheu com pared with other standard feeds used for fattening swine," says Earl II. Hoetetler, in charge of swine in vestigations at State College. "On the other band, soybean meal has been fonnd very palatable and when used as a supplement to corn, rapid and uniform gains are secured." Prof. Hostetler conducted one ?test in three different trials, us ing 188 pigs, compariug soybean meal with A8h meal. He found that the pigs made alwut the same daily gain in weight, but that the cost of the gain was greater where the animals were fed the soybean ineal and that both lots paid about the same price for each bushel of corn consumed. The pigs used were high grade Poland China animals raised at the Blackland Experiment Station near W'enona. Th-? pigs were sold on the Rich mond market aud there was no dockage because of soft or oily carcasses. la another test where he used 235 pigs in four trials, ho compar ed Ash meal with one-half soybean meal and the other half Ash meal. In these trials, the total feed re quired to produce 100 pounds of gain was about the same. How ever the pigs consumed about twice as much of the soybean meal and Ash meal mixed and therefore brought down the value of tue soybean meal to about $30 a ton instead of $50 which was the price actually paid. The corn used in these feeding trials was for the most parr grown on the Station farm. The sup 'ploments of soybean meal, Ash meal and mineral were purchased at Washington, N. C. For the purpose of comparison, all feeds used were charged at the follow ing prices: corn, $1^00 a bushel! Ash meal, $70 a ton; soybean meal, $50 a ton and mineral at $20 a ton. To Protect Meats From Skipper Flies Much meat cured on the farm is subject to the attacks of the ham skipper which is a small fly resembling a winged ant. Msg ttols from eggs laid by this fly may cause considerable damage and it is a wise plan to wrap the meat or screen the smokehouse so that the fly cannot enter. "This skipper is mncli smaller than the common bouse fly," says C. H. Brannon, extension entom ologist at State College. "The maggots produced from these flies attack mostly the pork hams and shoulders which have been cured and smoked. The fresher the meat, the more rapid the injury. Old pieces of meat which have be come hard and dry and which are sometimes covered with a coating of blue mold or a salvelike layer of fat, seem to be immune from attack. Very fat meat, like ba con, is not extensively injured. The insect apparently prefers lean meat." The best control method is to prevent the adult flies from enter ing the storage room, states Mr. Brannon. This can be done by screening with a 30-mesh wire cloth and by seeing that flies do not enter the room when the door is opened. Where the flies can enter this room, the usual method of preventing infestation, is to wrap each piece of meat with pa per and then enclose it in a tight sack. If the screen mesh wire is used, wrapping is not needed. Mr. Ilraunon states that the smokehouses should be well screened also. Meats >tored iu a well screened farm smokehouse should need no further protec tion. Where infested meat can not be re-conditioned - by trim ming, the meat should te destroy ed. Bones should not be allowed near the meat as the skippers breed within these old bones. There Is an excellent market for well cored hams and such meat is too valuable to permit it to be ruined by the attacks of these flies. The outlook for cotton is better this sissou than last, if the.acreage is not increased over tefi percent. Farmers of 8tanly County find that grading and reel owning cot ton seed will give an extra bale yield on each eight acres.

Farmers of the Askewville com- , muuity of Bertie county recently ordered 36 tons of magnesium ' limestone for use on their tobacco land. Growers of early May peas in Halifax county have cooperated to order 18,600 pounds of seed which were bought at a saving of 3 cents a pound. Strawberry growers will experi ence about the same prices this year as last. Mortgagee's Sale of Real Property.
