student was suited for.
All the tests have been sent to

Proper Fertilization
Of Grains Important
Prof. C. B. Williams, head, of
the Agronomy Department of State
college, says that farmers should
pay particular attention to the fer
tilization Of small grains this fall,
since it will be necessary to pro
duce the highest yields possible of
wheat, rye, barley and oats to off
set higher prices of food and feed
products due to war conditions.
. For. soils' in the average state of
productiveness, Prof. Williams rec
ommends the following fertilizer
applications'' per acre for small
grains at seeding time or just be
fore : ' . '. .
For Piedmont and Mountain
soils: 250 to 300 pounds of a 4-10-4
mixture. . '''
F'or Coastal Plain soils: 250 to
300 pounds of a 4-8-4 mixture.
"However,"' the State college man
declared, "the nitrogen content in
the mixture can be reduced from
one-fourth to one-half if small
grains are planted on ' land where
a heavy growth of legumes was
turned under. In some cases the
nitrogen can be left out of the
complete fertilizer entirely.
"Somali grain, usually do best
when grown on the heavier, well
drained soils in good tilth. The
sandy soils are not very well adapt
ed to oats, wheat and barley, bat
rye. usually will do . well on the
light, open soils.
"On most soils of -the state, ad
dition of lime is not usually re
quired for' the growth .of small
grains, except where the soil has
been allowed to get in a very acid
condition. To the,se, limestone at
the rate of about one ton per acre,
or its equivalent of half of this
amount of burnt lime, should be
added."
Prof. Williams also pointed out
that legumes from which hay has
been cut will not add nitrogen to
the soil, and the regular formula
for small grains should be used.
Sod-Mulch System
Improves Orchards
A system of permanent cover
crop and mulching of trees with
cuttings of legumes and straw will
reduce erosion in orchards, and im
prove the bearing, qualities of fruil
trees, advises H. R. . Niswonger,
extension horticulturist of State
college.
Joe E. Miller of Marion,, in Mc
Dowell county, has had much suc
cess with this system of orchard
management, Niswonger reported.
Mr. Miller has a 25-acre apple
orchard on U. S. Highway No. 70,
near . Nebo, on a site where the
land is subject to soil erosion. He
uses Korean lespedeza as a PcTt
manent soil cover, and . the trees
are mulched with the cuttings of
lespedeza and straw.
The horticulturist said that Mr.
Miller's trees' were planted in the
spring of 1937, with a distance of
35 feet between each tree. The
orchard site was terraced and the
trees set with the contour of the
land. Lespedeza was sown in
March and a cultivated - area of
several feet around each tree was
maintained the first growing sea
son. A cultural area of a foot or
more was left at the base of each
tree when mulching was done in
1938 and 1939.
Each tree was fertilized the first
year with one-fourth pound of ni
trate of soda, and one-half pound
the second year, with the applica
tion made in the spring. The ni
trate of .soda was omitted for the
third growing season since the
trees were making too much
growth, due, no doubt, to the
preservation of moisture and the
available nitrogen secured by ,the
mulch. The slowing down of the
vegetative growth has resulted in
the formation of the fruit bud,
while at-the same time the vigor
of the tree has been maintained.

SHOULD ORDER
LIME AT ONCE
October 10th Is Closing
Date For Taking
Orders
By S. W. MENDENHALL
. County Agent
During August demonstration'
farm tours were conducted by
townships. The object of these
tours was to give demonstration
farmers and other interested farm
ers an opportunity' to study the
different farming methods, to ex
change ideas and to note the re
sults of the use of triple super
phosphate and lime. The results
seen on these tours proved con
clusively that lime and phosphate
does pay. Even where lime "was
applied as late as the beginning of
this year a better growth was not
ed on the crops where it was ap
plied as compared to the same
crops where no lime had been ap
plied. Similar results from lime has
been noted on farms of the county
other than demonstration farms.
During the year nearly three
thousand tons of lime has already
been ordered through the county
agent's office besides approximately
one thousand tons that hav.t been
trucked in from nearby quarries.
This goes to prove that the use of
lime is getting results. We do not
know whether the present low
jirice of $2.00 per ton will be con
tinued through next year or not.
We have been informed that Oc
tober 10 will be the closing date
for taking orders for lime through
the soil conservation association at
the present low price. We are anx
ious for every farmer in the coun
ty to know of this wonderful op
portunity and take advantage of it.
The prici of $2.00 per ton is tak
en out of the maximum payment
set up for your farm therefore it
is not necessary for you to have
the cash in order for you to place
an order for lime. If you are short
of your building goal by not hav
ing done enough soil building prac
tices to make all your units you
will not receive all the money
that is set up for 'your farm. In
this case it is particularly good
business as well as a good farming
practice to at least take up what
you will be short in lime rather
than lo.se part of your payment.
l-'armers desiring to secure lime
should place their order' as soon
as possible - so that these orders
may be included for shipment be
fore the closing date which now
is near at hand.
