for the reduction of acreage. They
have been failures, he states, but if
farmers were conscious of the fact
that the acreage intended for cotton
was going to be materially increased
they, could revi/se thei|P
plans and cut down their acreage.
Where the farmer has no idea before
planting just what the acreage
will likely be, he has no basis for
intelligent adjustment of his acreage.
ROTS RUIN POTATOES
LEFT LATE IN SOIL
RALE1KH, N. C. Oct. 14?Sweet
potatoes growing in clay and loam
lands take longer to ripen than those
in sandy soils but even then the
grower should not allow the frost
to push along the natural ripening
process if he wishes to keep his
crop through winter.
"In order to increase ripening, and
sometimes to allow frost to aid the
harbest by killing the vines, some
growers leave their potatoes in the
soil so long that rot producing fun
gus diseases gain entrance through
injured roots and stems," says Dr.
K F. Poole, research worker with
crop diseases at State College. "In

the diseases to enter easily, frosting

also cou^s an undesirable bitterness
and is the cause of many complaints.
When once mold-producing
fungi enter'the potato tissues, only
prompt and effective storage will offset
heavy losses. Slight frosting may
not be feared; but when the vines
are killed, the potatoes should be
harvested immediately. If this cannot
be done, cut off the vines. This
will offset the frosting but will not
prevent freezing."

November in some sections but for

should conte out of the ground by
Oceober 15, Chilling of the soil
causese many injuries to the roots
and opens up the potatoes to diseas- j
es which later develop rapidly in |
banks and storage houses. The high
temperatures used to cure the roots
also favor the development of diseases.
Tt is always advisable before
storing potatoes to clean the storage
houses thoroughly. Destroy all J
rubbish and wash (he walls and floor j
with some disinfecting solution to ]
kill the disease spores( suggests Dr. j
Poole. The first forty-eight hours
in the house is a very critical time |
for the potatoes. In addition to the j
heat, there should be excellent ven-j
tilation which will help to kill the
fungi before they gain entrance to
the potatoes.

TREAT SEED OATS
FOR SMUT CONTROL
RALEIGH, N. C. Oct. 14?The
smut diseases of oats can be largely
[ outrolled by treating the seed before
planting with a weak solution |

clean oats and bigger yields.
There are nine important points to
ibserve when treating the oats and
hose as outlined by G. W. Fantf
xtonsion plant disease specialist at

1. Seed ^ be treated should be

3. The amount of solution needed
1 for treating, the seed is calculated
from the amount of seed to be
! treated.
4. Prepare the colution in the
! proportion of one piqt of commercial
formalin to 40 gallons of water. If,
for instance, ten bushels of seed are
I to be treated, five gallons of treating
solution will be needed. Prepare
' this by adding 1-8 pint of conimerjcial
formalin to five gallons of waj
ter proportion the pint to 40 gallons
i water_
5. The solution should be sprinkled
on th egrain as it is shoveled
(from one pile to another. Use the
; ordinary sprinkling can and scoop
1 shovel for this purpose. See that
| all the grain is wet in the sprink|
'ing.
| 6, After the sprinkling is over,
; ?ur iiie seea wuti a snovel so as
j to insure ail the grain being wet.
7. Cover the pile with sacks for
lone to two hours in order to hold
the fumes. Then spread the seed
out in the air to dry.
[ 8, The treating solution grows
stronger with age because of the
evaporation of water. Do not use a
solution which has been allowed to
stand for several days.
9. Make alolwance for the swelling
of the grain by regulating the
drill so as to sow the proper amount
per acre.

RALEIGH, N. C. Oct. 14? Cooperation
in selling dairy products, when
properly developed and managed
will aid the dairy industry of North
Carolina and will increase its returns,
but efficient production of
milk is the most important factor in
successful dairying.
"Efficient production is still within
the control of the individual
dairyman," says John A. Arey, dairy
extension specialist at State College,
"This factor is not dependent
on group action. If all the dairymen

was costing them to produce milk,
the danger of over-production would
be greatly reduced. There would be
110 surplus at any of our large milk
markets if the unpofitable cows
wee slaughtered."
Mr. Arey states that the benefits
of a cow-testing association in showing
which cows are profitable and
which are unprofitable cannot bo
over-estimated. He states that a
striking example of this was seen
in the case of a Virginia dairynjan
who was milking 36 cows and found
that he was not making money. As
a result of cow-testiug work the
herd was divided into two groups
of IS cows each. The results of
the testing srowed that one groilp
of IS cows was returning a profit
while the other IS animals .were not
paying for the feed consumed.
A. further study of the records
showed that these IS unprofitable
cows produced 71,000 pounds of milk
for a city which already had an
over-supply of market milk and the
price of milk produced by the 18
profitable cows was thus depressed
by the poor producers. The problem
of the dairyman was then simple
but he did not know about it
until the records made it clear,
states Mr, Arey. The remedy was
not merely to put in more efficient
methods of marketing but also to
dispose of the IS unprofitable cows.
