[eight rather than to corn which Is |
mncning in lassei, says m. u. uiair,
xtension agronomist at State College.
When the nitrogen is applied too
ate, more of it goes ot increase stalk
rowth' than to boost ear production.
"With cotton, the best time to make
be second application is immediatey
after the crop has been thinned or
hopped out. This practice will nearv
always result in more seed cotton
elng produced per acre. Bigger
ields are secured in making the aplication
right after chopping than
flhen the same amount of nitrogen is
pplied when the cotton plant Is on
quares or is blooming. A part of this
ifference is due to the fact that a
ite application of nitrogen will tend
3 make the crop mature late."
Mr. Blair states that on very sandy
oils it might be best to divide the
itrogen application and apply part
t planting and the other part as a
ide application. However, he thinks
lat there is no reason why all the
hosphoric acid and potash should not
e applied before planting the crop,
or that reason he recommends the
;cond application to consist of nltroen
carriers like nitrate of soda, sulhate
of ammonia or some other
uickly available ammoniate. Where
>o little phosphate and potash has
Ben originally, more may be applied
ith the side application, of nitrogen.

-1 'get
the soil in proper condition after
the seed has been planted.
"Three things are necessary for the
germination and grawth of all seed,"
says C. R. Hudson of the farm demonstration
divjsion at State College.
"These are moisture, air and sufficient
warmth. The first two are secured
through good preparation of the
seed bed while the warmth may be influenced
by hte same process. If the
soil has been gradually deepened year
after year by careful plowing, breaking
the land should always be followed
by harrowing or disking given, if pos.
sible, with 24 hours after the plow
ing. Then the soil needs to settle so
that the seed bed will be hard after
which another harrowing Is given to
re-establish the mulch."
Cultivation after the seeds are
planted is not only to keep down
weeds and grass which would take
up the moisture and plant food and
shade the crop, but also to keep the
top soil open, to make more plant
food available and to give help in
warming the osil. The time to kill
weeds and grass, according to Mr.
Hudson, Is soon after raina when the
seeds are germinating or just coming
through the soil. Any kind of stirring
at this time destroys them.
Weeds are more difficult to eradicate
after "they Mbve grown an inch or
two above the soil. Mr. Hudson
urgges the use of the weeder or
harrow immediately after rains as one
o| the most effectual and economical
cultivations that may be given.
Maintaining the soil mulch is one
of the important things during the
summer. It the soil crust is kept
loose, very little other cultivation is
needed.
A 12-acre field of alfalfa solved the
feed bill of B. I. Dunlap of Ansonvllle
in Anson county last summer.
In spite of close grazing during ?he,
drouth, the crop came back in good
shape after the fall rains.

INFERTILE EGG BE8T
FOR SUMMER TRADE
Raleigh, N. C., May 36. ? Summer
heat has the same effect on fertile
egggs as the setting hen or incubator.
The germ, in hot weather, will
quickly develop a blood ring which
spoils the egg for food and market
purposes.
"Fresh eggs for table use should
be infertile," says Allen G. Oliver,
poultry extension specialist at State
'College. "Those who keep poultry
should either sell, kill or confine the
male birds as soon as the hatching
season is over. Those males which
are good enough for breeding purposes
should not run with the hens
all the year around. By this method
the males will produce stronger
geriged eggs that in turn will produce
stronger chicks."
Mjr. Oliver states that if the hen
is pt-operly fed, if the nests are clean,
the eggss gathered twice daily, stored
in a cool, dry place and delivered to
the consumer in prime condition, the
consumer will be willing to pay the
highest market price. But if the rooster
is allowed to run with the flock
after hatching season, if the bens are
not properly and regularly fed, if the
nests are dirty and crowded and the
eggs are gathered every few days and
stored in a warm place before delivery
some days later, the consumer
wants a gas mask when the food
comes to him at the table.
Bad eggs are certainly preventable,
according to Mr. Oliver. As a first
step in this direction, he urges the
removal of the rooster from the flock
and then better care and handling or
the eggs until they are sold. The

CLUB BOYS AND GIRLS
WILL ATTEND SHORT COURSE
Raleigh, N. C? May 26.?'Between
400 and 500 boys and girls, members
of the organized agricultural clubs in
North aCrollna, will gather at State
College for the sixth annual short
course to be held during the week of
July 5 to 10.
The short course will be held as a
part of the Summer School and each
organized county will be allowed to
send 10 boys and 10 girls. These
young folks wjll be selected from
among the leaders In club work by
| hte home and farm agents of the e*
tension service, and will be given a
week of intensive training while at
the college.
According to L. R. Harrill, club
leader, the organized clubs are novr
endeavoring to raise money for sending
their representatives. The total
expenses of the course for each member
while at college will be $7.50.
This js a blanket charge which cov|ers
all expenses for board, room rent
and the cost of materials and supplies
used in labboratory or demonstration
work. Mr. Harrill states that the
railroads have offered a round trrp
rate of one and one-half fare on the
certificate plan, and those members
who intend to come by rail can secure
the certificates from Mr. Harrill.
The present enrollment of club ]
members in the state is about 4,000.
These members are in organized
clubs and are studying specific problems.
Instruction is being given by
the home and farm agents and by the
club leaders who have attended former
short courses at the college.
Mr. Harrill states that many of the
clubbs have already secured sufficient
funds to send their representatives
and others are hard at work now on
this project.
Pastures seeded this snrinc have
been held back by lack of rain and
shuold not be grazed too closely, says
Sam J. Kirby, pasture specialist.
Iron and Brabham varieties of cowpeas
are now much In demand for
planting on wilt infested land in Richmond
county. Demonstrations made
last year by County Agent J. L. Dove
proved these varieties to be efficient
producers on such lands.
The commercial peach crop of Scotland
county will be fairly good, reports
County Agent S. E. Evans.
A combination of vetch, barley and
oats is proving a fine hay crop for
Union county farmers.
And now scientists destroy another
illusion by finding that it is
the discontented hen that sings. No
more can we praise the peaceful and
contented singing of the barnyard
bird.
Tom Tarheel says the boll weevil
may be coming.out of his winter bed
a little slowly, but he can make up
for lost time when he gets out.

RADIO REVOLUTION ft ING
FARM ENTERTAINMENT
At the present rate at which radios
are being installed by farmers, it is
only a question of a short time until
they will be morecommon than
the telephone. Not long ago the writer
was on a farm far removed from
the railroad, the' nearest town being
something like fifteen' miles away.
Those on this farm were good peo^ple,
but they 'have worked for a
living and have done without some of
the comforts and most of the luxuries
r\f 1 if n TVl n li a1iua urn n haI aaoaaa a/4
iiuiowiCTiicu,
nor was there any telephone in It,
but in the front room there was installed
one of the latest, most modern
and most powerful radio sets
made. Any station in the United
States could be readily picked up by
this outfit.
Only a few years ago, if one had
talked about sitting in a farm home
and listening to a pipe organ recital
in New York City, grand opera in'
Chicago, dance music in San Francjsco,
and other forms of music and entertainment
throughout the United
States, he would have been thought
crazy. Yet, all of this is now available,
even to the most remote country
home, and with comparatively little
cost, as the only cost in securing
this entertainment is the cost of the
radio outfit. When you buy a radio
set you really buy a perpetual tjcket
to a front seat at the best musical
entertainments in America ? seats
such as cost |2 to $6 in New York
City, Pittsburgh and Chicago ? free
transportation coming and going.?
