- ? fill ?? rrotrr"svJ'? The Mountaineer's "T^T" State College Answers Timely Farm Questions QUESTION: What's the best way to handle the first cutting of alfal fa? ANSWER: Put It in silage. The first cutting of alfalfa is hard to cure for hay, especially if a dryer is not available. It takes far less labor to harvest a ton of silage, using modern equipment, than it does to harvest a ton of hay, QUESTION; The needles of pine trees in my woods are turning yel low. What is wrong with them? ANSWER: At this time of year, it is likely that pine bark beetles are attacking your trees. This changing of color is the first sign of infestation. There are many re ports of pine bark beetles in North Carolina now. you should see your county agent or state forester; speedy action is essential to con trol these beetles. QUESTION: In face of the short forage that will be available for livestock in North Carolina this year, is it possible to use the growth from winter cover seeded last year under ACP. ANSWER: Yes. The Agricultur al Stabilization and Conservation committee sought and received permission to allow North Carolina farmers to harvest, for hay or sil age, this growth. COMMERCIAL SHRUBBERY PRODUCTION has been suggested as an excellent means of addition al income for Haywood County farmers. The plot pictured is at Clyde. In Swain County, boxwood tree producer are s&aid to be reaUainx a hi*her income pe racre from their trees than from to bacco. (Soil Consevation Service .Photo). New Chemical Is Effective On Bermuda, Johnson Grass A new chemical shows promise in the control of Bermuda and Johnson grass, according to Bill Westmoreland, extension weed con trol specialist at State College. The herbicide is called dalapon. State College first tested it in 1953, and in 1955 farmers used some of the material. Westmoreland reports that it will do a satisfactory control job if the manufacturer's directions are followed. Dalapon is somewhat different than most other killers of grassy weeds. Twenty pounds of the chemical is dissolved in 100 gallons of water and the solution is spray ed on growing plants. The best re sults have been where the spray was used on plants when they were growing rapidly. This stage of growth is usually in June in North Carolina. Spraying should be done before the grasses begin to flower and seed. At times, a thorough, shallow disking in late May gives an even and uniform growth, which improv ed conditions for mid-June spray ing. Under most soil conditions, the chemical will be gone in a maxi mum of eight weeks, and often slightly sooner. At present, any lo cal crop will be severely injured by dalapon rates that give grass control, Westmoreland feels that older control measures should not be completely abandoned in favor of dalapon. ; The family "chauffeurs* are going for Ford in a big way for some mighty big reasons That's why the lady loves a Ford She loves the performance that makes Ford tho world's largest-selling V-81 Who wouldn't thrill to the extra "GO" that Ford knows so well how to pack into a V-8?

' 1 Soil Tests Show Farmer Erred On Fertilizer Needs A farmer of Wake County ran short of fertilizer on his tobacco last year, and profited by it. C. L. Boone, assistant county agent, relates that John Mangum of Wendell, Route 2, could put "only" 1,000 pounds on the last acre. 1 That acre sold higher than the rest of the crop. This started Mangum to thinking that perhaps he had been a little off in his estimate of fertilizer needs. This year he had his soil tested, and the test showed that he was indeed wrong. In the past, his fertilizer bill for six acres ran $230.20. This year, based on the results of the .toll tests, he will buy only $86.60 worth. His tobacco should improve in quality, too, says Boone.
