Fagg, assistant county agent, has reported the following items regarding two unit demon stration farms in Macon county: . Bill Pressley, farmer in Cartooge township, has an outstahdirfg dem onstratkm on the use of agricul tural ground limestone on volun teer soybeans. Mr. Presley turned under a growth of Black Loreado soybeans in the fall of 1940. In the spring of 1941 he limed about, half of this-field at on'e' ton per acre. Such a- good stand of volunteer beans came up that Mr. Pressley decided to leave them as a soil im proving crop. The portion of this field that "was limed has produced a growth of beans well over knee high and the beans have an excel lent color. On the unlimited por tion the bean.s are not over three inches , high and are very yellow in color. Both the limed and the. unlimed areas are very poor hill side land. C. W. Henderson, unit demon stration farmer of Sugarfork town ship is improving his home as well as ' his farm. Mr. , Henderson lias recently remodeled his home, paint ed and screened it. He has also in stalled a new gravity water system, including sink in kitchen, on porch and concrete cooling tank on back porch for milk and food. He also plans to build a bath room. Mr. Henderson says that it is very im portant that a farmer improve his home' and home convenience as his farm improves. J. B. Gantry of the Baldwin com munity, Ashe county, says that top- dressing his corn at second culti vation! with 100 pounds of nitrate of .soda to the acre paid him double the cost of the fertilizer. of Statewide Interest 4 endorsement of our wor nr ' .y.-y-.w new grille treatment, wiui integral yamiug ..&...... FERTILIZER CONSUMP TION HITS HEW HIGH Washington, D. C An all-time record fertilizer consumption was established when farmers used 8,311,000 tons of commercial fer tilizer on their land during the past crop year, according to the annual consumption report of The Nation al Fertilizer Association. This is an increase of more than one-half million tons over prior years. "Tonnage figures in themselves do not tell a complete story of plantfood consumption in this ban ner vear. since there has been a significant increase' in the amount of plantfood contained in a ton of fertilizer," said Charles J. Brand, Executive Secretary and Treasurer of the Association. "This years tonnage figure was 16 per cent above 1920, but the amount of plantfood contained and used was 64 per cent greater." It seems iiirt.lv that, another tonnaee in crease is in store for next year. Tag sale figures for the first six months of 1941 are 6 per cent over 1940. Harri$ Gives Hints For Seeding Lawns The greatest cause of lawn fail ure is not the kind of seed sown but the poor fertility and physical condition! of the soil, says John H. Harris, extension landscape special ist of ' N. C. State college. If the seed bed is poor and especially if it is lacking in hu mus, a crop of peas, or beans should be grown and turned under 'to improve 'the fertility of the soil. Unless the land is: very fer tile, a one to two-ir.ch layer of well-rotted manure should be work ed into the soil. Harris pointed out that no amount of commercial fertilizer will take the place of manure and cover crops, since the : latter add humus which collects and holds moisture for grass during hot dry summers. . Where top soil has eroded, it should be replaced. To stimulate quick growth, from 500 ' to 600 pounds per acre of some commer cial fertilizer such' as 6-8-6 should be added. The soil should be 'al lowed to settle and only the top layer, pulverized for sowmig the seed. hor home owners who want to have a winter lawn, the State eol lege 'indscape specialist says noth ing equals Italian . rye grass. This should be sown on top of the other grass in September. Better results are obtaised if the lawn is raked vigorously or a small amount of top soil used to cover the seed Most people wait too late to sow their lawn seed, Harris says, ex plaining that September and Oc tober are the better months ex cept in extreme mountain sections.

Weaver, head of the Agricultural Engineering De partment, says farmers should take adequate steps to protect and house their machinery and implements this winter. More equipment rusts and rots away than actually wears away through use. Paint up ma chines, grease all exposed metal surfaces, and store them " under a shelter. Such a practice will pay handsome dividends. Q. Do young laying pullets lose efficiency whein ' too many are crowded into one house? A. T. T. Brown, extension potil trymari, says this is one of tlve commonest faults in North Caro lina's poultry industry today. At least 34 to 4 square feet of floor space should be allowed for each bird to be housed. If less than this amount is furnished, the re sult will be more disease and a higher mortality rate, a higher percentage of cull birds, and more cull eggs. Q. Can electricity be used to cure sweet potatoes? A. A growing number of farm ers in North Carolina and neigh boring states are using electricity for curing and storing sweet, po tatoes and finding iit quite eco nomical and satisfactory. It pro vides a more even distribution! of heat which results in a better and more uniform cure. Fewer pota toes are .lost through over-heating or underheating, and the space formerly required by the stove is utilized for storage. "World Day Of Prayer" On February 20, 1942 The National Committee of Church Women, an interdenomina tional organization of women of the Protestant churches of the United States, has designated Fri day, February 20, 1942, as the "World Day of Prayer.'? It will be commemorated in all countries of Europe and in the mission fields as well as in America. The theme of the observance will be "I am the Way," and it will be developed under various titles: "the Way men have lost, the Way back to God, the Way of self-surrender, the Way of- peace, the Way of love, the Way of light, the Way of power." ... An interesting com ment on the 1941 celebration is that some Korean Christians are still 'in Japanese jails because of the World Day of Prayer the verse "Fear not, little flock, it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom, being interpret ed by the military authorities as subversive. The most spectacular and in e poriant lur-anrmai enterprise m the United States is silver-fox farming, which yielded 6,000 pelts in 1913 and increased the output to 150,000 pelts by 1940.
