Get Cotton Ready
For Smoth Ginning
Cotton picking and ginning art
just around the corner now and it is
a good time to remember that neith
er "green" nor "damp" cotton can
be ginned without lowering the qual
ity of the lint, says C. L. McCaslon,
extension gin specialist at State
College.
Every year North Carolina growr
ers lose many thousands of dollars
early in the season by not allowing
their cotton to "ripen" before it is
carried to the gin. It's a poor policy
to raise good cotton and than have
it damaged in the ginning process;
because it has not been allowed to
thoroughly dry out and get in condi
tion for the best job of ginning.
There will be a shortage of labor
during the cotton picking season and
there will be a tendency to go into
the fields too early in the morntng.
Although many gins are now equip
ped with hullers and dryers, the best
gin in the country cannot produce
high quality lint from dirty, trashy,
and damp cotton.
With cotton at relatively high
prices, the grower has the oppor
rpt.t.inr some mighty good
vu.iavj r o A
Dremiums for cotton of normal toi
high quality. Slight differences in
grade will make big differences in
profits. Cotton should be picked as
early as possible after it opens be
cause the longer it is left in the
field, exposed to the sun and rain,
the lower the quality.
In storing cotton, it is irood policy
to put it just in front of the door of
the cotton house. The next afternoon
the cotton can be moved back just far
enough to make room for the day's
picking. Then on the third day, it
can be moved back still farther.
Turnine the cotton in this way sev- i
eral times allows it to dry out pro-!
perly and get in good condition for
ginning.
Plan Farm Labor
Needs In Advance
On the basis of a farm manpower
survey in North Carolina, the de
partments of Agricultural Economics
and feural' Sociology at' State College
have made nine suggestions to grow
ers for action at the farm level
' lur ttL",u" "i." .:::.. J

eir, as on the neighborhood plan, and
study their joint labor needs and
then plan how the available labor
an be used most effectively.
All farmers, whether or not they
are short of labor, should prepare a
farm labor plan so that they can get
work done on time. A work sche
dule should be prepared, especially
for the critical periods.
Every farmer should study each
farm job carefully and eliminate any
task which is unnecessary and then
do each remaining task more effec
tively. Plans should be made for using the
family labor more completely, espec
ially iobs for bovs and eirls duriner
after school hours, on Saturdays and
holidays.
Make full use of all available
labor-saving equipment. Farmers
who have this machinery can help
win the battle for production by
making their equipment available to
neighbors on a custom or trading
basis. 'C
Keep eauiDment in repair at all
times and workstock in good working
condition.
Wherever nossihle. make .shifts
from heavy to light labor-using en
terprises. Fanners may find it advisable, m
order to keep their best labor, o
devise a profit-sharing scheme,

Production of Pigs
Increase In State
North Carolina sows farrowed
970,000 pigs from December to June
of this year as compared with 628,
000 for the 10-year average for this
period, J. J. Morgan, State Depart
ment of Agriculture statistician, re
ported recently. This is a 19 per
cent increase over 1942. The num
ber of sows farrowing last year was
28 per cent larger than In 1941, and
the number this year is 21 per cent
the June-to-December figure
for 1942
Morgan said that
ndications point
to a 27 per cent increase in the
number of pigs this fall over that of
last fall, and 75 per cent more than
the 10-year average.
Tomato Crop This

YMe-Fringed
Beetle Now In
Seven Counties
The white-fringed beetle enemy of
beans, cotton, corn peanuts, potatoes
and soybeans has been found in
seven counties of North Carolina, v,.
H. Brannon, head of the Entomology
Division of the State Department of
Agriculture, has announced.
The beetle was first discovered m
the United States in Florida in 193&.
"The insect attacks several hun
dred plants and is an extremely se
rious addition to the many insect
nests now in the State."
The entire infested area, pointed
out Brannon, is now under Federal
and State quarantines and there are
around 40 Federal inspectors in the
State enoraered in scouting, quarantine-
enforcement, and control activities.
The adult white-fringed beetle is
about one-half inch in length. It ifl
dull grey or brownish gray in color,
with a lighter band around the side.
Only females are known and though
the insect has rudimentary wings, It
is unable to flv.
Anvnnp findinir an insect similar
to this description first should kill the
specimen by dropping it in alcohol,
and then should put it in a small box
and mail it to the division of Ento
mology, State Department of Agri
culture. SNOW HILL NEWS
