Timely Farm Questions
Q. How should I go about
controlling cow pox?
A Dr. C. D.' Grinnells, vet
erinarian for the Agricultural
Experiment Station at State
College, suggests that you seg
regate the iinfected animals
from the remainder of the herd
and arrange /or a separate care
taker for these animals, if pos
sible. In. mild cases he sug
gests cleanliness in milking by
dipping the teats after each
milking in chlorine solution.
Tincture of iodine in glycerine
of equal parts is also useful.
When cow pox is neglected the 1
disease often becomes a pre- |
disposing cause to mastitis, an
inflammation of the udder,
which is the dairyman's No 1
problem.
Q. What is the best kind of
poultry litter?
A. Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne,
head of the Poultry Department
at State College, says that
ground corn cobs is one of the
best types of litter a-vailable on
the farm and that no poultry- i
man should lose the opportun
ity of building up a supply of I
this type of litter. While not!
the best, wood shavings 'provide
acceptable litter and poultrymen 1
near a sawmill can depend on
this supply, ?it's bad to run
out of litter in mid-winter and
now s the time to provide a full
supply," Dearstyne says.
Farmers Cooperate In
Home Fruit Plan
In all sections of North Car
olina farm families are cooper
ating in home fruit projects on
a community basis, and these
activities are proving very suc
cessful. Mother and father, and
an the 4-H members work to- I
gether to produce an extra sup
ply of small fruits for the fam- 1
uy. Then all the families in the
community follow the standard |
plan, which is agreed upon at
a general meeting.
Everybody grows the same
fruit or fruits, and each swaps
information with the other It's
a community affair.
hvTHP d 6 xr Was first suggested
by H. R. Niswonger, in charge i
of Extension horticulture at I
State College. In the counties
the farm and home agents are 1
cooperating to put it into op
eration in key communities.
Most of the communities are
growing only strawberries; or
strawberries, grapes, and rasp
berries or dewberries; orstraw
bernes with apples, peaches,
sour cherries, and figs (in the
eastern part of the State.. Some
communities are also including
blueberries, where soil condi
tions are suitable.

Larger Supply Of
Corn Hybrid Seed ?
The supply of cafri hybrid
seed will be considerably larg
er next year because 207 farm
ers have produced about 15,
000 bushels of 12 adapted corn
hybrids during the past season
under the direction of the N. C.
Crop Imprivement Association
and the Agricultural Experi
ment Station at State College.
This is enough seed to plant
about 120,000 acres, or 19 per
cent of North Carolina's corn
acreage.
A. D. Stuart, Extension seed
specialist, says that 133 of the
207 farmers are apprentice
growers with one-fourth acre
each, learning the rudiments of
the business. The other 74 farm
ers are certified growers.
The certified growers in many
cases artificially dry the corn
to prevent damage from insects
and disease. The seed are then
cleaned, graded, tested for both
germination and purity, and
sealed in new bags with a cer
tificate tag signed by the grow
er. .
Of the 12 hybrids produced by
the farmers, 8 were yellow and
4 were white. Both top crosses
and double crosses were made.
Top crosses are designated as
"T" hybrids and are produced
by crossing the farmer's own
corn on see obtained from the
breeding program of N. C. State
College and the USDA Bureau
of Plant Industry.
"The use of adapted corn hy
brid seed will provide oNrth
Carolina with more feed for
peace time living," Stuart says.
"A list of the certified corn
growers will be published in
December and a copy of this
list may be obtained by writ
ing the Crop Improvement As
sociation, State College, Ral
eigh."
Plan now to set about 100 to
200 strawberry plants in the
home garden. Raspberries, dew
berries, and grapes can also be
added. -
In many sections of North
Carolina cattle and hogs can
easily graze more than 10
months out of the 12 Grazing
is much easier than harvesting
feed for these animals.
one can understand them," Ni.s
wonger says. "It's family and
community cooperation that
does the job. Generally two
meetings are held each year, ?
the first when the fruits are
planted, and the second along
in Jluly or August when the re
sults of the work may be mea
sured."
Niswonger has suggested that
home demonstration clubs,
neighborhood leaders, and 4-H
club members take the lead in
establishing these home fruit
projects. Cooperation between
all the families in a given com
munity is the key to success.
