DAHLIA GROWING IS
TOPIC OF BULLETIN
The gardener who chooses a
suitable variety of dahlias and
gives them a little extra care dur
ing the growing season can have
success with them in any part of i
the state, says Robert Schmidt,
associate professor of Horticulture
at State College.
Mr. Schmidt is author of the
bulletin, "Dahlias for the Gar
den," which has recently been re
vised and is now ready for dis
tribution by the State College Ex
tension Service.
A moderately cool season with
sufficient rainfall is most desir
able for dahlia culture, the bulle
tin states. The mountain section
of North Carolina is well suited
for the purpose, but dahlia grow
ing in the piedmont and coastal
sections is more difficult because
these areas often have hot, dry
summers.
Answers to many questions of
the dahlia fancier may be found
in the new 12-page publication,
which may be obtained free by ad
dressing a request for Circular No.
230, "Dahlias for the Garden", to
Agricultural Editor, State College
Station, Raleigh.

FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION ? Should hybrid
seed corn tee saved from fields
producing feecNcorn?
ANSWER?"Yok cannot always
believe what youXsee" certainly
applies to seed corn, says Dr. R.
P. Moore, head of the N. C. Crop
Inprovement Association. Many
farmers may wish to save for seed
the good looking ears of corn from
their undetasseled hybrid corn
field in which feed corn was pro
duced. It may be true that these
ears look as if they are good seed
ears but the inheritance is not
suitable because of close breeding
that occurred at time of pollina
tion. Farmers who are not will
ing to accept this point of view
should answer the. question for
themselves by planting most of
their field to the right kind of j
seed from special seed fields and j
a few short rows of the second
generation seed from their own
crop. If all conditions are the
same and the first generation
seed produces a crop of approxi
mately 60 bushels per acre, the
crop from the second generation
seed of the same hybrid will like
ly yield about 50 bushels per acre.
The loss of approximately 10
bushels per acre could rightly be
attributed to poor judgment and
false economy in failing to use Jthe
right kind of seed. It should be

a drama here will make reports.
Harry Davis, associate director
of the Playmakers at UNC, will
confer with the group, it was
learned. Ross Caldwell of Chero
kee is chairman of the drama com
mittee.
remembered that it is the little
plant within the seed and not the
seed itself in which the farmer
should be most interested.
QUESTION?When should baby
chicks be started to .be raised for
layers?
ANSWER ? February, March,
and April are the best months for
starting chicks for layers. The
peak of egg prices is in the fall.
For the producer to cash m on
them, chicks should be started
early enough to begin to lay in
September.
QUESTION?How do eggs com
pare in cost with other protein
foods when compared pound for
pound?
ANSWER?Eight large eggs wiU
furnish a. pound food and 12
large eggs a pound and a half. At
60 cents a dozen, eggs supply good
protein food at 40 cents a pound.
Eggs have less waste, only the
shells, while meats have bones and
other waste.
