Timely Farm Questions
Answered At N. C. State
Question: What causes chickens
to pull out their feathers and how
can this be corrected?
Answer: This trouble is caused
by what is known as the depluming
mite. The parasite burrows into
the skin of the birds and causes
considerable irritation with the re
sult that the birds pull out the
feathers. To destroy this mite the
birds should be dipped in a solution
containing 12 ounces of flowers of
sulphur and 6 ounces of well-dis
solved laundry soap to each five gal
lons water. Give the treat*
ment on a warm day and be sure
the solution reaches the skin.
Question: How much silage will
one cow consume during the winter
feeding?
Answer: This depends upon the
length of time the animal is to be
fed. Ordinarily a cow will eat
about three pounds of silage a day
for each 100 pounds of live weight.
The weight of the cow in hundred
pounds multiplied by three will give
the amount of silage consumed in
one day. This amount multiplied
by the number of days the animal
is to be fed will give the amount
of silage-*# be stored for each cow.
Question: Is it t%o late to dust
cabbages and collards with calcium
arsenate for Worm control?
Answer: If the cabbages are
well advanced it would be better
to apply the Pyrethrum dust rather
than the arsenate but, i! the arse
nate is applied, there would be no
daMfeer from the poison. Either
dust can also be applied to collards
but, as the collard is not headed as
much as the cabbage, the calcium
arsenate should be used.

Tobacco Reduction w
Seems Unanimous
With the number of growers sign
ing contracts reaching the 60,000
mark when the campaign closed on
Wednesday night, September 20, the
effort to reduce North Carolina's
tobacco acreage In 1934 and 1935
seems to be an almost unanimous
proposition.
Final figures were not available
during the latter part of the week,
but it is estiamated that about
550,000 acres#were Included in the
60,000 contracts. The state planted
only 662,000 acres to flue cured to
bacco in 1933 and the average for
the past three years amounts 'to
607,000 acres. This means that but
little of the flue-cured acreage is
left out of the tentative agree
ments signed during the ten day
campaign.
Approximately 90 percent of the
acreage for the past three years is
involved In the amount of acreage
now under contract for reduction
and this means that the Agricultur
al Adjustment Administration is
safe in going ahead with its plans
for securing benefit payments for
those farmers who did sign the
contracts.
Dean I. O. Schaub, director of ex
tension at State College and head
of the reduction effort, says he ia
greatly pleased with the fin« res
ponse made by the growers. He
also expressed deep satisfaction
with the work of the county com
mittees who aided the farm agents
in the sign-up campaign.
"I wajit to remind all growers
again to keep their dated sales
slips," he said. "This will be Im
portant in helping to figure the
benefit payments coming to «ach
grower. I also want to remind
those growers who did not sign that
they will not share in the benefit
payments."
