State College specialists recom
mend the following good farming
practices for the month of May.
Agronomy
Enos Blair, agronomist of the State

is the best month to plant soybeans.
If planted during this month, they

until June or July. Blair also re
minds farmers that small grain which
is to be used as hay should be cut
during this month. Best time to cut
is when the grain is in milk stage.
Finally, Blair suggests that if you
have turned under a crop of crimson
clover, Vetch, or Austrian winter
peas, wait at least two weeks before
planting another crop on the land.

flood Seed
A. 1). Smart, seed specialist of the
North Carolina Crop -.'Improvement
Association, states that the oppor
tunity of the seuson for producing
small grain seed of purity and quali
ty will be on hand in May. Farmers
producing small grain seed for sale
should rouge seed pints and
fields of noxious and . common weeds.
With due respect to the -'modern im
proved seed cleaning equipment,
Stuart says, rogueing the fields still
offers growers their greatest oppor
tunity to put clean seed on the mark
et und at the samp time benefit the
farm in keeping down and destroying
noxious and common weeds.
Dines Control
l)r. H. F. Poole, plant pathologist
of the Experiment Station, reminds
farmers not to plant watermelons,
sweet potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, cot
ton, and other crops on the same land
where wilt diseases caused severe
losses last year, . Plant Mai-globe,
Pritchard, and other resistant tomato
varieties on soil .-'where the fusurial
wilt is common. And in peach or
chards, especially those with, early
varieties, where brown rot has caused
heavy losses in other years, add one
of the writable or colloidal Sulphur
materials to the shuck fall spray.
Livestock
May is a busy month for the live
stock grower, says Earl Hottetler,
professor of animal husbandry at
State College, because several changes
in feed and management are nec
essary. For example, permanent pas
tures are about ready for grazing
throughout the state. Ihis vneins
that beef cattle will go out of Winter
quarters to the summer range where
less labor and no feed except grass
are required. However, regular in
spection and salting should not be
overlooked. Then too, the bull should
be turned with the held so that the
next calf crop will be early and uni
form. May is also the month, Hos
tetler says, when the earlier Uwibs
should be sold arid the balance of
the llock sheared and dipped.
Keen
C. L. Sams, extension apiarist at
State College, gives North Carolina
beekeepers these four suggestions:
( 1 ) Cheek on the food supply in the
hives (2) Ascertain whether the col
ony has a laying ijueen; (H Seo if
queen is failing; and (41 Look for
disease in brood. If ally defects are
found, they should be corrected at
once.
Poultry
Koy IVarstyne, head nt" the State
College poultry department, says
chick eoccidiosis will probably reach
its worst stage during this month.
The disease does it worst damage
among birds 4 to lil weeks old, al
though older birds may be infected
if they eat enough of the roccodiosis
parasite eggs. Th(. most effective
means of controlling thin disease is
rigid sanitation. Chick that seems
undersized or sick should be killed
and burned or buried deeply. Ordi
nary .disinfectant don't help n great
deal in' controlling this dwasc, but
it's a good idea to clean, the fVod und
water containers every few days
with boiling -water.
