Timely Farm Questions
Answered at State
College
QUSTION: How can I cure colds
in my young chicks ?

id by overcrowding, chilling, over,
heating, an unbalanced diet, or a
drafty house and the first step should,
be to find the cause and co?*1

and Epsom Salts given to the re
maining birds at the rate
Pound to each two and o^half gal
Ions of drinking water. This should
be kept before the birds for one day
and a suitable germicide kept in the
drinking water while there is e*i-j
dence of the trouble. Usually an out
break of colds runs its course and if
?rood management and sanitation is
practiced only a few birds are lost.
QUESTION: In topping tobacco,
how many leaves should be left on
:he stalk? .
A.NSWER: This depends to a great)
extent upon soil conditions*^ the
amount of fertilizer used. On the
average soils of the State, tobacco
*111 mature when fifteen to eighteen
leaves are left on the stalk. On
poorer soils the plant should be top
oed lower and on the richer soils it
should be topped higher. Be sure and
begin topping just as :soon .as the
seed parts of the plant begin to show.
The tobacco will run up enough to
op every three days and shou d be
topped as uniformly as possible so
that the plants will mature more
evenly.
QUESTION: Should silage be
used for feeding dairy animals in the
iummer? . .
ANSWER: Silage has its place in
summer feeding only as a supplement
to short pasture. Where the silage
?rops yield well they furnish a cheap
er and more convenient supplement
to the short pasture than do soiling
crops. Where it is available, it is
also well to feed a reasonable amount
in the morning for the first several
days after cows ar^ turned on pas
ture. This is advisable even with
an abundance of grazing as it pre
sents the animals from gorging on
the tender, watery grass which tends
to scour them.
Treated Seed Checks
Damping-Off Disease
Destftp unfavorable weather, failly
good stands of cotton are- growing
on some 250,000 North Carolina acres
which were planted with seed that ha
been treated to control dampmg-off
iiscasG.
This disease, which has been a
menace to the cotton crop, is being
brought under control as more far
mers treat their seed, said Dr. Luther
Shaw, extension plant pathologist a
State College.
Last year, he said, good results
were obtained on some 20,000 acres,
and this year 1222 times as much land
has been planted with treated seed_
A recent survey of 47 farms in 16
-ounties representative of all-.stne
cotton-growing sections of the State
showed that an average of 452 plants
were found in 100 feet of row where
treated seed was planted, whereas
inly 307 plants per 100 feet were pro
iuced by untreated seed.
Moreover, Dr. Shaw said, the treat
ad seed will produce-healthier, more
vigorous plants that will make bigger
yields of better quality lint.
The treatment costs about 27 cents
oer acre and increased the value of
the crop by $13.35, per acre in demon
strations conducted last year.
Similar benefits are expected this
vear, he added. ? ^
The treatment - recommended is

Convention To Stress
Richer Life On Farins
Farm and Home Week at State
College, August 2-6, will focus at
tention on the theme, "Building a
richer farm life."
The program will cover most of
the things that make agriculture and
rural life more fruitful and satisfy
ing, said John W. Goodman, aseist
and director of the State College ex
tension service.
"Since the farmstead is a coopera
tive enterprise in which both hus
band and wife share the responaibili
ties and the benefits," he continned,
"we are arranging a program that
will appeal to farm men and farm
women.
"We are also desious of having a
large number of husbands and wives
come to spend the entire week, as
every day will be something worth
while on the program."
Rooms will be furnished free in
the college dormitories. Other rooms
close by will be available at a very
low price, Goodman added. Inex
pensive meals will be provided in the
college cafeteria, and no charge will
be made for the classes, demonstra
tions, and lectures.
Rural ministers of the State have
been invited to meet with the farm
people, and to hold meetings of their
own during the week.
"We are particularly interested in
cooperating with ministers to help
the church reach more country peo
ple and to help them render a broader
service in the rural community,'
Goodman stated.
The various agricultural organiza
tions of the State have been invited
to iheet at the conference. The
Junior Orphanage at Lexington will
send a 25-piece band.
Recreation, band music, and other
entertainment will be offered to help
make the week "a real vacation as
well as an educational event," Good
mn pointed out.
Crotalaria Is Good
Soil-Building Crop
Crotalaria, a legume which has
been used for several years by far
mers in Florida and in the Carolina
sandhills to build up poor, thin soil,
has been introduced on several farms
in the Huntersville erosion control
area, according to agronomist H. 0.
Beck of the Soil Conservation Service.
Agronomists of the Service recom
mend that crotalaria be seeded on
sandy soils which are low in,fertility
and deficient in organic matter and
which are unsuited to the production
of lespedeza.
It is not advisable to seed crotala
ria near a barn, pasture or poultry
range, Beck warned, as the seed of
certain strains (such of Crotalaria
spectabilis) are poisonous. This
should not worry fanners, however,
since livestock will not eat the foli
age.
Radio Talks Help
Poultry Growers
' :
Rural listeners continue to find
helpful information in the wocVly
radio talks. presented b# specialists
of the State College Poultry Depart
ment on the Carolina Farm Features
program.
Friday a representative of the
department prepares timely informa
tion for those who take part in one
of the State's largest agriculture en
deavors.
Poultry is not confined to the farm,
as many town people keep chickens
in their back yards. These growers,
too are receiving the suggestions of
the State College specalists.
Culling layers is an important topic
at this season of the year. Dr. Roy
S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry
department, will give, advice on cull
ing in a radio talk Friday, June 18.
Keeping unprofitable layers In the
flock eats into profits, and is an un
wise practice, Dr. Dearstyne say*, t
The quicker a grower gets rid of
these birds,; the better wiH be his
-hancftsfor profit. Reduced produc
tion costs raise -' annual income.
Recommends Cowpeas
In Tobacco Middles
Cowpeas make a good crop to plant
between tobacco rows at the time of
the last cultivation.
The peas will not hurt the tobacco,
said E. C. Blair, extension agronomist
at State College, and they will pro
duce a big crop for soil-conservation
purposes.
He suggested that the cowpeas be
planted in each tobacco "middle"
wits a corn planter.
While growing they will help con
serve moisture and hold the soil in
place. After the tobacco is harvest
ed, they may be left on the land or
turned under to add organic matter
and nitrogen to the field.
Blair also pointed out that cow
peas or soybeans may be sown in
corn at the time of the last cultiva
tion, in the coastal plain area, unless
they have been already planted in
alternate rows with the corn.
Corn should be cultivated shallow
until it is four feet high, as cultiva
tion maintains a mulch that conserves
moisture. Too deep a cultivation in
jure the roots, however.
Frequent, shallow cultivations
through the month of July are good
for cotton, Blair continued.
He advised against planting corn
and soybeans in July expecting to
make a full crop of corn planted at
that time, and said that it is more
profitable to get ready for an early
crop of small grain.
