Questions
Answered at State College
Question: What Is the best ma
terial for treating cottonseed to
control dam ping-off?
Answer: The two percent ethyl
mercury chloride is very good.
This chemical is sold under tho
trade uame of 2 per cent Ceresan
and can be procured at any seed,
hardware, or drug store. When
n^ed atthe rate of three ouncas
to the bushel of seed It gives ef
fective control of the disease. Re
sults from 251 farm tests made
within the past few years show
tliat seed treated with Ceresan
produced enough extra lint to
practically pay the fertilizer costs. |
Extension Folder No. 3i? gives
full directions for the use of tills
material and a copy may be had
free upon application to the Agri
cultural Editor at State College.
Question : Should I select eggs
of some definite weight for Ilklch
Jng purposes?
Answer: Best results are al
ways obtained from eggs that
weigh 24 ounces to the dozen, but
in addition to the weight, hatch- 1
]ng eggs should be clean, fresh,
well-formed, of good shell texture,
and of a color conforming to the
requirements of the breed. Eggs
that are round, small, short, thin
shelled, or those that have ridges
around thein should be set aside
for home consumption and not
used for hatching. At this time
of the year, eggs for hatching
i-hould be collected two or thr-je
times a day to prevent chilling.
Question: How much tobacco
seed is required for plant ing a
seed bed?
Answer: One ounce of seed
should be used to each 300 square!
yards of bed. A more practical j
? measure is to use one tablespoon
ful of recleaned seed to each 100
square yards. Mix the seed thor
oughly with cottonseed meal, dry
sand, ashes, or fertilizer before
sowing. For an even stand, half
o' the seed should be sown in One !
direction and the remaining half
acitoss the bed at right angles to'
the first sowing.

some Review readers said were too
poor to fight?

Dear Mr. Editor
As 1 look back over the past ]
year in the agriculture of this .
State, several notable dev^op- j
rnents in better farming cai^ be
seen. Our farmers have made
excellent progress in dairying;
there are more beef cattle; swine
growing has receiveed new im
petus; poultry production is in
creasing and there is a decided
improvement in the growth of
food, feed and soil improving
crops.
^ %Ve grew the largest tobacco
crop ever produced, and this with
the European war and unsettled
conditions generally, helped to"!
hold down prices.
Cotton produced bountifully iu
the piedmont and less well in the
coastal plain, yet our farmers
showed definitely that they will
bring back cotton as au import
ant crop in the State.
We had our greatest enrollment
in the 4-H clubs, with something '
like 50.000 rural youth now mak- i
ing the best better and furnishing !
leadership in our rural communi- ;
ties.
The women went iuto the busi- j
ness of improving their homes and
gave serious study to all ques
tions of food, clothing, balanced 1
diets and home management.
Take it all in all. 1939 has been
a year of accomplishment on
Xorth Carolina farms.
And to you and your paper
must go a measure of credit for j
all this. You have carried infor- .
niative articles telling the latest !
news in Extension and research. j
You have interpreted for our
reading public the beat Informa
tion available here nt the center
of the State's educational facili
ties in agriculture. You have al- '
so told the story of successful men
and women iu your local commu- 1
nities.
Certainly this has helped and I
thank you for it. Were it not'
for thfs line cooperation on your
part, I doubt that our farmers
could ever become fully acquain
ted with the facts, rulings anil
news which they need to know sc
as to keep pace with the fast mov
ing events of present day farm
life. , i
We have worked together for
another 12 months in a construc
tive effort and not only do I thank
you on behalf of all of us here at i
the college but I presume to ,
speak also for the rural people
who are your readers.
At the same time, I wish to ex
tend you our best wishes for i
happy holiday season and all good
luck for 1940.
Yours very truly.
F. H. JETER, Editor.
