would be less incentive for in

volve considerable cash outlay.
Even so, it is doubtful if farm
output would be reduced more
than 5 to 10 per cent below what
would be expected with high
level economic activity over the
decade 1965-75.
Further rises in output per
worker, per acre, and per ani-1
mal, together with increased I
mechanization, will mean more j
efficient production as well as a
greater volume of output. For at
least the next two or three dec
ades, progressively fewer num
bers of farm workers should be
able to produce an adequate
supply of farm products for our
increasing population.
Seed Treatment
Gives Insurance
Soybean Planted Before Re
gular Crop Is Sowed Pro
vides Increase In Standi
From 11 To 208 Per Cent j
Soybean seed treatment before
planting has proved to be '.'a
very good form of insurance for
growers to take out," Howard R.
Garriss, Extension plant patholo
gist at State College, said re
cently after inspecting 10 demon
strations in several eastern coun
ties of the State.
"In every demonstration check
ed," Mr. Garriss stated, "there
was an increase in stand as com
pared to adjacent plots planted to
untreated seed from the same lot.
Stands in these 10 demonstra
tions were increased from 11 to
208 per cent, with an average
increase of 62 per cent over the
untreated plots."
D. W. Ballance, Pasquotank
County, obtained a stand Increase
of 208 per cent. On the treated
plot he had 261 plants 'per 25
feet of row as compared with
only 52 plants per 25 feet on
the untreated area.
W. E. Cox, Beaufort County,
obtained a 98 per cent increase
in stand; M- B. Boone, Pasquo
tank, 83 per cent; Gilbert Tunnell,
Hyde, 72 per cent; and W. C.
Waters, Beautfort, 48 per cent.
Mr. Garriss said that seed |
treatment usually is more effec
tive in the earlier plantings, but
the Ballance demonstration, on
which the greatest increase in
stand was shown, was not plan
ted until June 29, later than most
of the soybean crop.
Soybeans on the demonstration
plots checked recently were from
knee to waist high. In nearly
all cases, the pathologist stated,
there was a noticeable difference
in the height, spread, and color
of.beans in treated and untreat
ed plots. The treated rows were
higher and broader, and gener
ally appeared to be a little dark
er green jn color. Plants from
treated seed showed up better;
because they started off more
quickly and developed better root
systems.
