Tlie b( seed can be drilled by loosening a the springs which force the disks p] into the ground. Without pres.- ol sure on the disks, they go about ti n V2 inch deep which is enough c( k to keep the seed from washing) into low places during rains, o Where a drill is not available, the ^ land should be harrowed to cover 1 a: some of the seed -and prevent ex- fe cess movement of the seeds to it low places. 1? y The lespedeza hay should be cut p le before the stems get too woody p and the lower leaves shed ex- 1( >e cessively. This is usually in the 51 y early bloom stage or when the t, v. growth is about 12 inches high. Q The hay is very easily cured, j o: re Where the lespedeza is cut early it for hay and a few green leaves u :h left on the stubble, it will usual- w 5s ly make enough seed to reseed n >f, the land. b ?-1 The fine stemmed varieties of v, o soybeans such as Laredo and p lr otootan make very good hay. n J- When the coarser stemmed varie-1 j 181 ties are used, they should be!0 r planted thickly to reduce the | c, size of the stems. They can be p, re planted in the Coastal Plain from a: r- April 15 to June 15. The seed f ls should be inoculated each year g id on sandy soils and on all soils ie r- where soybeans have not been i- grown recently. Soybeans have a jf high potash requirement and ly should be sidedressed with 75 lc ly pounds of muriate of potash when j. the beans are 6. to 12 inches high. n ly Cowpeas are handled about the h le same as soybeans. The stems r. are less woody than soybean v stems, but contain more sap. ^ 3f This makes the hay harder to ^ le cure. Iron and Brabham varieties a are resistant to wilt and nema- hi todes. Other good varieties are T ,e the Groit, Whippoorwill, Taylor b j8 and Clay.

Alfalfa produces one of the ist quality hays where deep, i irtile, moderately heavy, and; ell-drained soils are available.: [ any of the past failures have, ;en due to insufficient lime, fer-! lizer, or borax. Alfalfa has ;en proving satisfactory under wider set of conditions than reviously recognized. North Carma Extension War Series Bullen No. 21 gives complete re-j immendations on alfalfa. Oats, barley, and wheat are J ood hay crops when cut not' iter than the milk stage. They| re non-legumes and do best when j rtilized with around 300 pounds j F a 4-10-6 or 4-8-8 at seeding! nd top-dressed with 16 to 32 ounds of nitrogen (100-200 ounds of nitrate of soda; 8050 pounds of Cal-nitro or ANL; 5-100 pounds of ammonium ni*atet. Top-dressing should be pplied not later than the middle f March. The quality of small grain hay i materially increased by seeding ith the winter legumes. A good lixture is 1U bushels of oats, 1 ushel of wheat, 15 pounds 'of etch, and 10 pounds of Austrian eas per acre Another good lixture is 1V2 bushels of oats, bushel of barley, and 20 pounds f crimson clover per acre. Other ombinations can be used deending on the type of soil availble. Combination hays of this t'pe should be cut when the rain is in the milk stage regard;ss of the legume. witn tne wiae variety 01 crops vailable for hay, the harvest lason can be spread over a nger period. This will over)me the weather hazard which lay be present when the entire ay crop is harvested from one rop at one time.

There are many other projects! which, when completed, will make Whiteville a better place to live but they are in the preliminary stages and can not be made public at this time. , Cotton will get keen competition from synthetic fibe.s after! the war. Join the one-variety j program to keep seed stocks pure and produce only uniform, highquality cotton. CHEMICALS KILL 95 PER CENT OF x (Continued from page 1) Uramon has given outstanding control of such soil-borne diseases as root knot, black root rot, and Granville wilt. This permits permanent plant bed sides at convenient locations where the soil type is suitable and there is a good supply of running water. Cyanamid does not control soilborne diseases. It should be used on the dark colored, low-lowing soils of the Coastal Plain because Uramon has not been too satisfactory on this type of soil. Cyanamid is also preferred on the j clay soils of the Old Belt area j where Uramon has given some ALE j, Augui 1 a k | unsatisfactory results, i Time is required to kill the weed seed and for the poisonous materials to be leached from the soil or changed to a harmless material. Therefore, the treatment should be applied at least 90 days before seeding. Clean all weeds and trash from the area to be used for the bed. Prepare a fine, clod-free bed by breaking, discing, harrowing, and raking until smooth. Clods larger than a garden cherry will prevent weed seeds inside from being killed. Broadcast three-fourths of a pound of Uramon or Cyanamid per square yard of plant bed. This should be done immediately after preparing the bed and before the soil has had time to dry out. HOW TO APPLY Mix the Uramon or granular Cyanamid thoroughly with the top 4 inches of soil and no deeper. Disk once or twice with the disk set up at a sharp angle, or work once or twice with a 3 or 4-topth, one-horse cultivator or similar implement. The cultivator should be used when the soil is variable, as a disk will go too / R PAST BUJ t LOAD OF r 4G S Aiesdcii <L I 0 ? f ' WIW/WWW Welcome TO WHI < And To Make Trading Hea FARM SUPPLIES, SOUTHfORT.- N C. deep in some spots and not deep enough in others. Then harrow repeatedly with a spike-tooth harrow or rake thoroughly. For hand operations, use a hoe for mixing with the soil and finish by thoroughly naking. Broadcast one-fourth pound more of granular Cyanamid or Uramon per square yard on the smooth surface. Rake in lightly | and leave it in that condition until time to seed. In time of extreme drought, water the bed after applying Cyanamid or Uramon. AT SEEDING | Apply the suual amount of {plant bed fertilizer at seeding [ time and work it into the top two inches of soil. Working the ' soil deeper may bring live weed 1 seeds to the surface. When directions are followed carefully, good weed control is usually obtained.? Ask your county agent for the names of farmers who have used these chemijcals for weed control and plan on a trial for next year. Remember | that the material should be applied 90 days before seeding. Make arrangements for the Cyanamid or Uramon now, so that you will have it when needed. AGENT OUTLINES FOUR MUSTS FOR COUNTY FARMERS (Continued from page 1) : bagers, radish, and onions can be grown abundantly through the fall and spring months In addlj tion to the various greens that can be planted most arty time. The season to plant fall vegetables starts with the first of j August and extends through September. Carrots should be planted between August 1 and 15. Lettuce and snap beans and beets should be planted in August, mustard and turnips around September 1. Onion sets should be put out in September and rutabagers planted around September 1. Collard seed may be planted in hills fifteen inches apart with five or six seed per hill, and the plants thin and large enough to use for greens. ; In addition to the gardens, every landlord and tenant in Columbus County is urged to make his plans now to make his own garden and might fatten his own hogs during the next few months. I It is possible for every landlord and tenant to secure two or three pigs and fatten them this fall in order that we might eat. If we expect to eat we'd better plan to grow our eats. 5INESS ANL rnRAfCO fo PURINA FE1 ROYSTER'S POULTRY SUPPLI! ROOFING, SHU We cater to the farmer to carry as complete stoeL every requirement ...
