Agronomist Explains g Fertilizer‘Change$ Farmers of North (arolma should not be inconveniunced-in tact, they should he benetitted by the restriction in the number of fertilizer grades, says lv K Collins, Extension agronomy lean er of North Carolina State College. The War Production Board will allow only IS fertilizer grades to he sold in the State in 194.‘. ■•In the fertilizer year, 1840 41." said Collins, "there were lbi different grades of fertilize: reg istered and sold in North Caro lina. Many of the grades were so similar in analysis that it v ou i be practically imposnible to show differences wheel they were ap plied side by side in the same field. . . ■ The last Legislature restricted to a maximuc of 50 ant a minimum of the number of fertilize' grad os that could be sold in the State in 1941-42. Actually, only 3*> grad es were registered and sold last year. Therefore," he added, "it is not anticipated that any one \viH suffer a hardship by further re ducing the number of grades to a well selected group of 18.' lie pointed out that South Caro line and Georgia have only l;t grades approved, and Alabama has only 4 grades. The 18 approved grades were selected with the idea of exclud-1 ing filler from the fertilizer. Col-1 lilts explained. This will save transportation faclities and hags. “The farmer must realize," said thu Extension agronomist, "that he will be buying, in most cases. a higher anlaysis tertilizer. II he applies it at the same rate as in 11)41-42, % "ill iost him more to fertilize his crop. But if he de creases the application he will get the same result at aboot the same cost. For instance, a man who u sed 400 pounds of 3-8-3 last year will get the same amount of ni trogen, phohphoric acid and potash by applying 300 pounds of a 4-li. 4 this year.” EX ECUTOR S X OTICE Having qualified as eexcutcr of the estate of Julia F.

The Insurance Companies represented by this Agency have been designated to act as fiduciary agent for the ». riling ul war damage insurance. CALL THIS AGENCY FOR FURTHER DETAILS Treating And Delinti Of Cotton Seed 1)1 Uncle Sam needs linters (short cotton fiber) for the manufact ure of explosives; farmers need better cotton seed to get the max imum efficiency from their labor in 1943. Dr. S. G. Lehman, research plant pathologist, and C. L. AIc C'aslan, Extension agricultural en gineer of North Carolina S*ate College say that both results may be achieved by the treatment -nd mechanical delinting of cotton seed. They recommend that cotton growers immediately have their cotton seed re-ginned and treated with 2 1-2 ounces of 2 percent Oe-1 resan, or 1 ounce of 5 percent Ce resan for each bushel of seed in tended for planting. “Experiments have shown * hat I re-ginning increases the germina tion of cotton seed,” McCaslan stai ed. “This delinting process takes most of the short fibers or fuzz off of the seed. These shoi t fi bers, or linters, are important in the manufacture of explosives.” Dr. Lehman added that treating cotton seed kills disease spores on the surface of the seed and in creases germination in the field. He warned, however, that seed are poisonous after treatment and should be used only for planting purposes.
