Kerr Scott, County Agent. Industrialism V ersus Agriculture "A century ago," says Dr. John it Moiiler of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture, "tbe Britieb Isies 1 were prominent in agriculture, per- 1 ticuierly in livestock growing. For many yrara tbia baa been sobordi- 1 nsled to industrial development. 1 The United States is undergoing a 1 similar change. In tbe last 25 years the population has increased I 35,000,000 but there are 11,000,000 I fewer treef cattle, 9,000,000 fewer ' sheep and 2,000,000 fewer ewine. 1 Dairy cattle have increased about I H,000,000 ao there it a net decrease of about 14,000,000 food animals." A bank at Salisbury in Rowan | county is financing tbe purchase of considerabre sweet clover aeed this apring in an effort to help I county agent W. O. Yeager pro- 1 mote tbe growth ef this valuable ; leg tme. I Delayed Donaaat Spray b Fint to Use. The firat spray of the season and the one to apply to both peach and apple trees early in the spring is the delayed dormant spray used to combat aeale insects as well as apbids and plant lice. "In spraying peaches," says C. H. Brannon, extension entomolo gist at State College, "the spray should be applied before the buds swell. This will help to oontrol leaf ourl as well as the scale iu sects. The spray is also effective for apples when applied just as sreen can be seen in the tips of the buds." 11 r. Brannon states that oil sprays have come into wide uae in the dels) ed dormant sprays be cause the oil is very effective in controlling scale and1 is also more pleasant to apply. These oil sprays may be prepared by the growers at home hut unless they have a considerable number of trees, it is best to buy some of the ready-prepared sprays now on the market. It is important, how ever, to get good spray material. The grower should get authorita tive information before buying bis spray material for the season. In case the peach trees are troubled with leaf cnrl, the grow ers should use either limi sulphur alone or add the Bordeaux mix ture to an oil spray aud apply be fore the buds swell. Oils have no value in controlling plant dis eases, they are effective only w tb insects. Mr. Brannon advises against mixing lime sulphur with oils un less the label on the oil container states that Ui is can be done. As a usual tlnng the concentrated lime-sulphur solution wilt give good results a?a*delayed dormant spray but if there is mncb scale, the oils should be used. Those fruit growers who wish detailed information about this spray should write to^either C. U. Brannon, extensiou entomologist, or to O. W. Fant, plant* disease specialist, at State College. Either of these workers will be glad to send publications dealing with the matter. Outlook for Cotton Better than 1927. ir the acreage planted to cotton in the United State* is not in creased over ten percent this sea son, the price outlook is favorable. This is the opinion of Dr. O. W. Fonter, head of the department of agricultural economies at State College, who has made a stndy of the situation with governmental authorities at Washington In nlanuiug the farm outlook for 1928 in late January. He states that the production of 12,789,000 bales last season was a relatively small crop and while the carry over of 7,500,000 bales is rather large, it is not excessive in view of the small crop. Consumption this year will be in excess of 16, 000,000 bales acoording to present indication!. This will make the carry-over on July 31, 1928 amount to about five million bales only. Dr. Forster states that an In crease in acreage of ten percent this season with the normal yield of the past Ave years, will give the South a crop of about 14,000, 000 bales. The foreign and dom estic demand will not be material ly different from last season thongh better conditions are an ticipated in France and ftaly. II* find' that through the period from 1920 to 1926, there has been an increased demand for cotton so as to cause an Increased price of about one cent a pound each yearover the previous season. Farmers should keep in mind, however, that there are some areas where growers will find it hard to get a substitute crop for cotton and this .nay lead to great er increases in acreage; in West Texas and Oklahoma there are still millions of acres of potential cotton land;credit is easy in most of the cotton states and the agi tation for farm relief has led to the belief that Congress may en act legislation to stabilise prices at a higher level than that which would be caused by a free play of supply and demand. This may encourage heavier plantings in nan sections. In North Carolina, the high prices for peanuts and tobacco may cbeca any tendency to in crease the acreage in those coun ties where these two crops are grown. ? ? Bees have wintered wall in North Carolina and the outlook for a good honey crop this season is very good. The yolk of the egg will last in the stomach of the newly-hatched ehick for three days so that the young bird shoald receive bis first light feed on the fourth day. ?? . . ? ? NOTICE.
