ANSWER: Heaviest commercial shipments are expected to be made frorn July 15 through Aug ust 5, although some varieties be gan ripening early in June. In cidentally, G. C. Klingbeil, ex tension horticultural specialist at State College, says this year’s ’peach crop in the Sandhills is the finest produced in many years. QUESTION: Have antibiotics in swine feed been tested in North Carolina? ANSWER: Yes. Preliminary tests at the Experiment Station in Raleigh have shown that anti biotics are promising. Normal pigs have gained 10 to 15 per cent faster when an antibiotic was included in the feed. Now the scientists are continuing the tests on actual farms. Eleven farmers with a total of 257 pigs are par ticipating in the demonstrations. State College specialists warn, however,, that antibiotics are a supplement and cannot replace normal ration’s. QUESTION: How large is the dairy industry in North Carolina? ANSWER: Tar Heel dairymen produced 1,668,000,000 pounds of milk in 1950 and sold it for $86,- 914,000. Average production per cow has risen from 4,030 pounds in 1945 to 4,510 pounds in 1950. Much progress has been made in dairying in the past few years, but the State still spends millions of dollars for milk brought in from other areas. 0 Circular Published On Grain Diseases The State College Extension Service announces publication of a new circular, intended to help farmers in identifying small grain diseases. The 32-page circular, entitled “Small Grain Diseases in North Carolina,” was prepared by J. C. Wells, extension plant pathologist, and T. T. Hebert, research assist ant plant pathologist for the North Carolina Experiment Stafion. It is illustrated with 20 photographs, including two full-color pictures on the front cover. , Wells and Hebert point out that small grain yields are rather low in North Carolina, although thousands of acres of land are devoted annually to these crops. One reason for the low yields, they say, is that disease often cause heavy losses. These losses can be reduced, say the authors, by following such approved practices as using disease-resiitant varifties, _ treat ing seed before planting, and fol lowing crop rotation and sanita- tfon practices. However, success in using these practices will de pend on correct diagnosis of the various small grain diseases. Leaf rust is listed as the most important disease of heat in North Carolina, with the annual loss from this source estimated at 10 per cent of the total crop. “Small Grain Diseases in North Carolina” is issued as Extension Circular No. 347. Single copies may be obtained from the local county agent or by writing the Agricultural Edifor, State College Station, Raleigh.
