July 22?There \ la disease of tobacco in North Carolina about which no one knows, I much, yet which causes heavy losses in the crop each year. This is tobbaco mosaic and many growers fail to realise the extent of the reduction in crop value that this trouble causes. "We don't know much about n."*saic," says Dr. S. G. Lehan, plant ' pathologist for the North Carolina Experiment Station. "It causes a marked stunting of affected plants j and a corresponding reduction in the size of the leaves. Stunting is more pronounced whfcn the plants are attacked as seedlings and from such plants there are few leaves worth gathering. When the plants, are half grown, the stunting is less perceptible aid the grower is frequently unaware of any loss from I It. However, the money value of his tobacco may be reduced from 10 to 20 percent even then. The Infected leaves 'are of poor quality, fall to cure properly and are subject to a lower grade than the healthy leaves. Generally, the grower will attribute this to the weather,' to fertilizer or to improper curing and wonder why his neighbor did so much better." Dr. Lehman states that mosaic is caused by a virus. This is transferable to certain other cultivated plants like the tomato, pepper or eggplant where it produces the same symptoms as in tobacco. Then too it is known that the diseases passes the winter in such nlants as the horse nettle or ground cherry, which are perennials. The cause of the trouble Is not definitely known but It may be a good Idea to clean up Injected fields very carefully this yettr and to cut down and kill all weeds adjacent to such a field. PUSH COTTON GROWTH WITH NITROGEN FERTILIZER RALEIGH, N. C.. July 22?Sidedress the cotton with a good application of quick acting nitorgen fertilizer as soon as possible after chopping and win back some of the growth lost by the continued dToughlt. Cotton, in most sections three weeks of erowth. To reealn tills, the side application should be made before the first plowing after j chopping and then the regular fer-' tllizers added at planting will carry the crop through to maturity. "In some sections there has not been enough moisture to germinate or even soften the seeds," says Prof. C. B. Wiiams, head of the department of agronomy at State College. "Cotton has lost about three weeks of growth and the logical thing to do, especially where only a medium application of fertilzer was made when the cotton was planted, is to make an aDDlication of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia after I chpoping. This will start the young plants to growing rapidly. The applicalon should be made alongside the rows, three or four inches from the plants and applied before the cultivation after chopping the cotton." Prof. Williams states that this is one year when side applications of quickly soluble ammonia should, be very profitable and such applications are needed more this year than In most seasons. Unless the cotton is pushed into early growth by such applications, it is probable that acre yields will be cit severe ly. thinks Prof. Williams. Weeds ruin pastures and ope or two c'ippings during mid-summer will pirmlt the pasture sod to get ahead of these pests. It's not too early to be preparing the livestock tor the fairs this fall. e and There Which th the Progressive F ted By "A Dirt Farme f an Older ) that "Pataj"' Dobbin la the oUiea , n"? u*** ^nii'aH liinih^r A years rawy iim uau.w - s iow Do yon know of a horse^oldt INCREASE VEGETABLE YIELD ' BY IRRIGATING GARDEN RALEIGH. X C. July 2S-The < garden is a paying farm spot and it i may bo wise this year not to watt : until the whims of Nature bestow a i rain but to work oijt some way of | irrigating the garden to increase veg< sable production. The dry s spring of this year and the dry ( summer of last year indicate that s this farm practice might pay. ] ,-Ilome gardeners should keep in t mind that vegetables are about 90 J | percent water." says E. B. Morrow, < extension horticulturist at State 1 College. "This is in itself evidence | that irrigation may pay. The gar- i den may he irrigated by running j water down the furrows, by use of , the horse or by putting in an over-j; he'd system. Of the three, furrow L irrigation is the least costly andji quite effective where there is aunlfornt slope or the land is level, i Some garden rs last year used the hose to distribute water down several furrows at once and others installed overhead systems with profit." Prof. Morrow states that a fall i | of 3 Fo 6 indues per hundred feet |. can be used to advantage in furrow i irrigation. A greater fall can be used to advantage if the flow is not too great. In ma Ay localities, the I water may be conducted by gravity | from nearby ponds or streams. I Where one wishes to water several furrows at one time, hose connec llUiln iuu> m* uiiiut* iui mis puipuatr. (| Enough water to equal one inch of 11 rainfall should be sufficient fori] quite effective where there is a uni- ' equal one inch of rainfall should be '] sufficient for each application. : ] Fifty-four gallons will be needed to 11 irrigate 100 square feet, one inch i deep. i An overhead system might be 1n- s stalled at a cost of about $150 which ; would take care of a garden one- f half acre in size. Figuring all ex- j penses, the cost per 1,000 gallons | would be about "0 cents where six < applications of one inch each are i needed in a season This would re- i quire about 7,5000 gallons of water pe rseason for the half-acre garden and would cost $22.50 at 30 cents per thousand gallons. Such irrigation will increase the value of the j gnrden by 50 percent. I : ( WILL GRADE BEEF SAYS PROF. CURTIS , ? 1 RALEIGH, N. C., July 22?Dress- < eci beef may soon be graded accord- ( ing to grades wolted out and ap- | proved by the United States Depart- < ment of Agriculture and thus sold j along the same plans as now pre- i vail for the lowly spud, the sue- ; culent peach, or the crisp, fresh vegetable. "This movement for the grading of beef similar to the manner in which other commodities are gradfed is one of importance," says Prof. R. S. Curtis, of the animal husbandry department at State College. "The i Department of Agriculture at Wash tngton nas Degun me movement and Secretary Jardine has tendered to all packers operating undey federal supervision a grading of dressed beef from their plants which he has suggested that they accept." Prof. Curtis states that few people really know high grade beef, only a small amount ever reaches the consumer's table as the larger hotels and restaurants buy most of the high class meat. The only time the general public has an opj portnnitv of seeing such beef Is ; i when a cut is secured from some tuns young animal thnt has been f'nl'hed yrrp tyl in the neighbor-' hood. | It ef should bo grsd.d as are oth<;. commidiiles placed on the market, thinks Prof. Curtis. Most of the > / ' ' *" ITY FARMERS Has a Local Angle aimer's Attention ' ' >eef produced and sold locally lacks hose good qualities which make neat the appetizing morsel which nfliience the quality of meat. The \'orlh Carolina Carolina Station unler the Purnell fund is making this iludy and only recently some 4? toad of sters and heifers were fed ut and sold for slaughter as a part >f this test. Cuts of meat form all f the animals were examined ana Un tied both physical! and chemical-1 y after they were slaughtered to ind the effects of the feeds used 11 fattening. Prof. Curtis states that when this tudy has been finnaly completed, here seeins to be more hope of dating the beef cattle industry on a atisfactory and profitable basis. "ARMERS FIGURE COST OF GROWING PEANUTS RALEIGH, N. C,. July &2?It osts a little over six cents per KHind to grow an acre of peanuts in Morth Carolina according to the ecords of some good farmers In ialifax County. "Growers in North Carolina need some protection form the flood of heap peanuts grown' In China and hipped to this country," states C. 5. Littlejohn Agent of Halifax couny. "The business men of Scotland S'eck and some of our leading farm rs in Halifax County feel that the Tariff Commission should make a twp-cent increase in the peresent tariff to protecvt our growers. This is necessary because of the high trost of production and the average yield per acre in the peanut sections ;>f Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia." ? The average acre yield of peanuts for North Carolina is twelve hags weighing 8S pounds per bag, states Mr. Littlejohn. The cost of raising an acre, as worked out by good farmers who keep records, is placed at $70.39 per acre. This includes rent of land, use of lime, landplaster. fertilizers and seed, the preparation of the land for seeding, cultivation of the crop, personal supervision of the grower and the depreciation in farm implements and teams. The value of the hay will be about $2.50-per acre, leaving the net cost at $67.S9. When this net cost is divided by the average yield of 1056 pounds of peanuts per acre, the average cost of production per pound will be nearly 6 1-2 cents. Mr. Littlejohn states that some growers may think this cost is a little too high but if they will figure in all items. Including the persona' supervision of the owner, and nak > the peanuts bear a rightful share of every item of depreciation ind repairs, the cost will not be 'ound excessive. Recently Mr. Littlelohn mailed a cost sheet to all of he peanut growers in Halifax r"ounty so that they might aid in the novement to secure more adequate [)rotectiot\^ NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION Notice is hereby given that the jai itici Duip ircreiuiure exisuig oeween T.

C., July 22?Cows do not like weeds, and newly planted pastures, particularly where the ( (tand of grass and clover Is poor, should be mowed to destroy these Dasture pests. "Weeds do considerable harm to pastures," says S. J. Kirby, extension agronomist at State College and student of pastures in North Carolina. "As a rule, we find more weeds in those pastures where there is a poor stand of grass and clover ) but even where there is a good I stand in one and two-year old pas- I tures, it is not uncommon for weeds j to give trouble. Where the weeds are mown once or twice after seed-! ing the pastures, the sod gets ahead and the weed gives little or 1 no trouble there after." Mr. Kiby point out that probaby , the greatest injury to pastures from M Q n rl 1 I Wed comes rrom uie ?.r shading done to the grasses. However. the pests also use up the moisture and plant food and if all of these Influenles are not checued I by mowing, the weeds take the pasture and little grazing is obtained. Midsummer is the time to get rid of the weeds. Those grasses and clovers which were Retarded by the late spring and subsequent drought will quickly come Into their | own if the weeds are clipped. Mowing either with a machine or by hand will permit the pasture sod ?o get a permanent lead, states Mr. Klrby. Sometimes, he states, newly , ceared land, the pastures are frei quently injured by bushes, dhade - trees are god in the pasture and r most grasses and clovers make good . growth in the shade of trees, but no erass or clover can stand the r dense, shade of low bushes. Mr. - Klrby states that the bushes should 1 be cut out as soon as they appear, t Where the pastures are properly t protected from these two enemies, 1 wjeeds and bushes, they will give - heavy production of pasturage for 1 many years. r Good pure bred rams may be se1 cured at reasonable prices from * Norts Carolina sseep growers, states f Prof. R. S. Curtis of State College. a " NOTICE OF MORTGAGE SALE. By virtue of the power of sale contained in a certain mortgage deed executed by G. B.
