JZ. ::' CaroU.;a la Dufilln County i. - t - 4 Ucl .lion Vc. Fertiiizersjn Land UtilfccuiDn .GUV, A. card well, In the utilisation of arable land, economist recognize three stages v of development Tha first stage is a,perlod la Which, virgin,! produc ' tlve toll are usually subjected to ' exhaustive cropping and In which Utile or no thought la given to pro-' per cultivation or to returning any thing to the land with a view - to prolonging its productivity. Very often this atage la characterised by the growing of one major crop almost continuously on the aame inT tobacco during the , ,4 1 j J: - y ' 1 Tvurticularly m wumjuwiu aiul , u AuiiM, and la ter on, In other sections, wheat or corn. During this first period . the value of manure la hardly ap preciated, crop rotation is rarely practiced, and, aa one observer has ' stated it with particular reference to colonial farming, new land la constantly brought Into cultivation as soon aa that which , la already under the plow refuses to produce nythlng that la worth harvesting. The second stage is a period in which the farmer realizes that, u he is to succeed In growing any crops at all that would give him sufficient encouragement for his labor, he would have to cultivate )u land more carefully, modify his cropping system and utilize any farm, manure produced for the good of the land, all with a view to preserving, in a manner, the producing qualities of his soils. This period may be called the ex tensive stage. The third atage 1s a period In which the . farmer givea much thought to cultivation and to drain -age, If necessary, to rotation of .crops, and to the use of soll-lm- grovement materials. This Is the itenslve stage, .which ultimately results in a higher yield per acre, but a smaller yield per man. With the average farmer, the sign of his approach to the third stage is the ' increased attention he gives to . these soil-management practices which enable him to produce high yields at the lowest possible cost per acre. - Timely Farm .QUESTION: HoW can I increase egg production in my poutvrjr flock?..:- ,."'.. ' ANSWER: Many poultrymen are getting higher production by feed ing. only a small amount of grain in the morning and the remainder at night The morning grain Is fed in' a clean litter from four to six inches deep and consists of about one pound of grain for each 100 hens. The afternoon feeding la put in troughs. The practice of feeding grain at different intervals of the day, especially during the winter months, increases the activity of the birds, overcomes idleness, and indirectly Increases teed consump tion. The commnanon oi mese tends to give an increase in egg production.. - QUESTION: Where can I secure pUmfor building a modern dairy ANSWER: Plans for building dairy barns that have been appro ved hy the dairy specialists at State College are mailed free up on request to the Agricultural Edi tor at State College.

BRANCH BANKING & TRUST WALLACE, KINSTON, WARSAW Rotation As Qsod Aa Fertiliser .. In the light of the' Study that has been made of . the value o crop rotation, It may well be . as sumed Uiat on naturally produc tive soils a proper rotation may for- many years prove more ef fective h) maintaining yields than farm manure or single, mixed, or even complete commercial fertili sers. In'time, however,, the manure or commercial fertilisers may give more and more positive results un til the approach tne effectiveness of rotation, aa the experiments with corn at Urbana, Hl. eem to Show. ' In the experiments at Urbana the soil treatment consisted in the use of pulverize limestone, farm manure, and phosphate fertilizers (bone meal and rock phosphate): and the rotation consisted of corn, oats and clover. ' Three important points were brought out in the Urbana test (1) The average yield, of corn ob tained without fertilisers and ro tation on this particular prairie sou in Illinois la 23.4 bushels per acre (equivalent uu bushels of shelled corn); (2) the gain effect ed by rotation alone is practically three times that obtained from the use of fertilizers and lime; and (S) the total increase effected by con Joining rotation and the use of fer tilizers is 7.2 bushels greater than the sum of their seperate Increase. It is a well-known fact that when an arable soil is well sup oiled with orsranic matter, nitro gen and the necessary mineral ele ments, it snows out uiue or no response to fertilizer treatments. On the other hand, a particular crop may be grown successfully on the same land only when it is in troduced into a rotation. This Is particularly true In case , the crop is attacked by certain insect pests or crop diseases, in which, case the change of crops aids in the control of such insects or diseases or, pre vents their development Questions ing plans always specify the num ber of animals to' be housed and whether a feed ; loft 'is desired. Plans for other farm buildings may also be had from the same address. QUESTION: When should seed peanuts be selected .for 'planting next vear? ' '' '' v1 '.' '''"' ANSWER: Planting seed should' be handplcked botn berore ana after shelling. Remove all badly mildewed nods and damaged ' ker nels and store the seed peanuts in a dry place. Poor stands are of ten due to planting seed of low.vi- talitv and if there la any question as to the quality of the selected.! seed it is advisable to nave mem tested for germination. Where the peanuts are still in' the field'- it might' also be well to cover the stacks with' canvass hay caps to prevent weather damage. .,.,: i i a. f Removing Pine Straw Retards Tree Growth The fairly wide-spread .custom of. raklnar un nine straw -.from wooded areas appreciably , retards growth of the trees. w tf ; . i When the straw is left beneath the trees it protects tsa sea, an IN KE6PINO , sv ' A i SIX SO I ALSO fc PUKR CAMEtS-L THE MILDEST I CIGARETTE X I EVER SMOKED PHONE OPtlATOR : Betty Griffin TODACCOS V CO.

Jn other words, Page said, rak ing up the straw had cut the trees growth more than 50 per cent. - . Sometimes farmers find it nec essary to gather pine-needles' for mulching; their crops and bedding livestock. The needles are as val uable as the cord wood and saw 'timber on. the wooded area. In such . cases, Page said, the straw should , not bo ,rakod from .the same area year after , year. father it at one place this year, he suggested, and from another next year.t If the straw is not raked away more than once In every four or. Wive years, he said, the damage is not so severe. ... ... ' ii i o Suggestoins For Planting Pecans : Pecan trees may be set out in the' coastal plain and Piedmont section of the State anytime from late November until time for grow th to start In the spring. But where winters are more se vere,, the best transplanting, time is earlv tn. the spring, said Robert Schmidt; - associate horticulturist of the N. C Agricultural Experi ment. Station. . : . Pecans thrive on a great Variety of soils: heavy clay soil, light san day land, river bottoms that are well drained, but they will not do wall on soil underlain, with quick sand or hardpan, or on land that does not have good drainage. . - Schley,' Stuart Success, Pabst and Aley are good varieties for the coastal plains.
