County Farmers Have
Number Fine Projects
- Tommy Wood of the Crabtree
Iron Duff Community and his
neighbor* are beginning to believe
in 'nematode control. This year
.Tommy Is 'jonductlng a demonstra
tion to determine how effective
Chemicals are in controlling nema
todes in Burlcy tobacco. Three
Chemicals have been used, and
from field observation all three are
effective; however, final results
will be determined when the Bur
ley tobacco Is marketed The plot
where chemical* were used hasj
."iade much better growth and larg-1
er tobacco than the cheek-plot
where no chemical control for
nematodes was used It Is going to
be interesting to see the final
market results
The Western District 4-H
Leadership COnferenee was the
highlight of the week for three
boys and three girls from ilay- I
wood County. Jennings Plcm
mons, Ronnie Rollln*. and Gene
WrGaha were the bovs who at
tended the conference. They re
ceived some valuable experience,
and are enthusiastic about put
ting It to work to improve the
county 4-11 Club Program. In ad
dition to the training the boys
and girls rereived. the agents
who attended rereived some
helpful hints for help in their
county program.

Tommy Boyd on Jonathan Creek
has started a sucker control experi
ment on his tobacco plot. He is us-;
ing two chemical agents, one a
spray MH 30 and the other an
emulsion TSC 350 applied by a
teaspoon to the 'op of the topped
stalk One third of his plot is treat
ed with MH 30 spray. One third
is treated with the TSC 350 pfnul
i sion and one third is UK-d as a con
trol with no treatment whatsoever.
The results will show whether the
j treating of tobacco with chemical
agents to control sucker growth
on hurley tobacco will be profit
able.
$5,000 Grant Is
Made To N. C. For
Tobacco Research
The North Carolina State College
tobacco research program has re
ceived a $5,000 grant from Philip
Morris, Ine
j Dean D. W. Colvard of the School
of Agriculture, former director of j
the Mountain Experiment Station
here, rec "ived the check in Rich
mond, Va., commenting that the
Philip Morris research department
; has cooperated with the experiment
program for several years.
"The money," Dean Colvarl said,
"will implement basic studies now
envisioned to further strengthen]
the position of tobacco in the na
tion's economy."

Farmers To
Take Part In
Farm Bank
There are growing indication*
that North Carolina landowners
will take part in large measure this j
year in the tree planting provisions I
of the Federal Soil Bank program '
recently enacted into law
I* A Griffiths, assistant State i
Forester in charge of forest man- j
agement and nurseries, made this;
clear today in revealing that orders
have already been received for"]
more than 20 million of the 45 to'
50 million forest tree seedlings ex
pected to bo produced for 1956-57
plantings
State Forester Fred II Claridge
and Griffiths said that in anticipa
tion of passage of the Soil Bank
legislation by the last Congress
they mad- plans several months
ago to step up forest tree seedling
produetion at the three nurserl-s
owned and operated by the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment's forestry division.
The nurseries, located near
Goldsboro. Hendersonville, and
Clayton, produced about 36 mil-:
lion seedlings for 1955-56 planting.
As a result of the stepped-up prep
arations, the throe nurseries will j
produce upwards of 50 million
seedlings for 1956-57 planting un
less production is curtailed by
weather or other causes, Crifflths
said.
Under the Conservation re* >rve
part of the Soil Bank program, a
landowner can plant a minimum of
one acre to trees. The tree plant
ing contract he signs must run!
from 10 to 15 years
No Christmas trees, ornament
als, or Christmas greens may be
harvested during the contract
period, but the landowner can
harvest other forest products un
der approved forestry practices
within the life of the contract he
signs to participate in the Soil
Bank program, Griffiths explained
In this State, Griffiths added, a.-.|
landowner will receive an average
of $10 per acre per year for the
acreage he plants to trees.
Claridge and Griffiths empha
sized that farmers should not take
action to participate in the Soil
Batik until they have consulted
with ASC committees in their re
spective counties or the State ASC
office at State'College in Raicigh.
Whore Hies are I)I)T-resistant.
the most effective sprays for kill
ing flies on the wing contain pyre
thrum as an active ingredient.
EXTRA FINE HURLEY is proven by this Held
here with /emery Caldwell holding one of the
leaves which measured 18 inches wide and 37
inches long. In place of using soda as a side
dressing oil the crop. Caldwell used chicken litter
from his poultry house which has 15,000 birds.
He and his father, Fred Caldwell, have 2.7 acres
of fine tobacco, and believe they will get a bet
ter than average yield this fall.

C. N. Leigh Finishes Work
On Farm Pond At Maggie
By ROY R. BECK
Soil Conservation Service
? )
Construction work has iust been completed on a farm pond
built by C. N. Leigh of Maggie. Leigh, a former Soil Conserva- j
tion Service employee, has constructed the pond exactlv as de
signed for meeting health and engineering specifications A cut- ,
off core seal holds leakage under the dam to a minimum. Normal
water flow passes under the dam through a six inch trickle tube.
Mater level can be fluctuated with this trickle tube installation in t
case mosquito control is needed. Yet most important for soil and
water conservation, Leigh is seeding all the open land on the
watershed to sod crops and the pond has been designed for flood
storage. This means that Mr. Leigh's small watershed is not expect
ed to contribute to a downtream flood more frequently than on a
25 year storm, and even then, the amount of water coming off
the watershed will be greatly reduced. This is the principle on
which the new Federal Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention
Program is based.
Leigh is going all out for erosion control on the watershed
above his pond. All burrow areas, as well as the dam itself, have
been seeded to fescue grass and clover after a heavy lime and
fertilizer application. In addition, the land which has been farmed
in corn is to be seeded to sod crops next spring.
The District Supervisors are quite fortunate to have Leigh's
cooperation in a trial of cutting steps on the cut bank of his barrow
pit which has now been seeded to fescue. Leaving small steps on a
cut bank may be the answer to obtaining stands of grass. Leigh
is doing this work in connection with the District Supervisor's
Highway stabilization and beaut ideation program.
Wear, Tear Reduces Life
Of Portable Range Shelters
North Carolina poultrymen use
thousands of portable range shel
ters each year. Roy S. Dearstyne.
State College Poultry Specialist
says that the life of these shelters
is relatively short. This is due to
the heavy wear and tear the shel-,
ters have to take during the year
Dearstyfte says that this is es
pecially true of the shelter run
ners which are subject to lots of
stress and strain if they are mov
ed as often as they should be dur
ing the period of use Then too
adds Dearstyne. not many poultry
men raise th? runners off the
ground during off seasons when the
shelters are not in use. Because
of this constant contact with the
ground, over a long period of time
decay and rot may result, especial
ly if the wood has not been prop
erly treated by a wood preserver.
Whether you use wire or slatted
floors in the shelters, says Dear
styne, they too may deteriorate
rapidly if not properly cared for.
It may well be that poultrymen can
save themselves the cost of high
repair and replacement bill* it they
plan now to property tcao r and
store their range shelters when
they have finished using- them this
year.
Dearstyne adds that if the roof
is not aluminum, it might b? ad
visable to slap a coat of aluminum
paint on that roof and help ward
off some of the intense summer
heat. A poultryman. he says, is |
always dealing in futures. And his >
success Is definitely related to how j
tar he looks ahead and how well
he prepares for the things to
come.
Farm Housing Loans
Still Available Here
The Farmers Home Administra
tion here has received authoriza
tion from the U. S. Department of
Agriculture to continue farm hous
ing loans in Haywood county, it
was reported today by John B. Col
lins, County Supervisor.
Such loans are to provido safe
and sanitary farm dwellings and
other essential farm buildings to
farm owners who cannot obtain
credit they need from other
sources.
Put a coating of wax on paiutod
shelves before covering them with
paper or oilcloth. This will prevent
the cover from sticking to the
wood.

MINUTES SPENT CLEANING
FARROWING CRATE PAY OFF
A good farrowinR crate will do
only part of its life-saving Job
unless it's thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected well in advance of
farrowing.
Better get out the scrub brush
ind mix up a solution of Purina
Disinfectant and water. Rake out
all debris. Then scrub crate, far
rowing house, feeding and water
ing equipment.
Be sure to do the job early so
wood has time to dry out before
you put in litter and move the
sow.
Another suggestion ? clean and
scrub sow with Purina Disinfect
ant solution before she goes into
the farrowing house. These man
agement practices should pay off
with healthier, more thrifty pigs
and higher livability.
LET CATTLE KILL FLIES
BY THEIR OWN EFFORTS
Here's the new, labor-saving way
to control flies ou cattle. Let cat
tle do the job for themselves. Just
put a solution of Purina Back
Scratch Concentrate in the Back
ftcratcher and away go the flies.
Back Scratch concentrate is a
combination of 5 active, proven
killers including DDT. the Crag
repellent. Rotenone and Lindane.
Costs only about lc per head per
week to control most flies that
bother range and feedlot cattle.
In tests beef cattle protected
from horn flies gained 15 to 30 lbs.
more than unprotected cattle dur
ing one grazing Season. That's an
extra income of from $3 to $6 per
head . . . worth a penny a week
isti's it?
SEND US THE WORD ...
. . , if you want to add "Wood Life" to your Mill work.
Exposed Millwork such as window screens, window
frames and sills can decay and rot . . . fall prey to
termites.
Add years of wood-life to them by having them dipped
treated with "Wood Life" here at Haywood Builders
Supply. Insect and moisture damage will he sealed out.
You save $$$ when you use "Wood Life."
