Should Fumigate Corn In Storage Small grain in storage ran !•< protected from insect damage b> fumigating the grain with carnoi disulfide, recommends Dr. K. U Collins, in charge of agronomy Extension at State College. As valuable as the corn cro] is tins year, he says, every pre caution to keep it should be used He points out that it may be in fested with weevils when it is taken from the field, and so one of the first precautions should be to rid it of these pests. Use l 1-2 to 11 t-H gallons of carbon disulfide for each lOuu cubic eet of space, 2 1-2 to 2 gal lons per 1000 bushels of shelled corn, or 1-2 teaoupful to the bar rel of seed for the fumigation. Temperature of t'ae grain should . e low d to -o' above 1 ■ Fahrenheit, Dr. Collins says. Lev el the grain in the bin and pour or sprinkle the carbon distillate over the surface. Cl ise the storage tightly im nn.iiuteA after fumigating, leav 18 ■1 . Vft that, open t a- storage and ad»\\ it i > air. He advises inspecting the grain about once a month and if more insect' are noted, repeat the la migation. Caution should be observed m .. a dis d ide. Dr. < 1 ....... says, as it is highly explo s.. e. and lighted matc.ies, pipes, a, ,.s or other lire should not he a.lov.ed near the storage during fumigation. _ State REA Plans Post - War Growth rial 5 are f " a 000,000 post war expansion pro aa* « '-WsMSSfWSSSKiSMBWBEaBMfc •e* Examined G Glasses Fitted ov.- f Sh> Furniture St«r» N ■> in Mondays. . it \KU<M k f omftnst •fc * Ranid* N ( urniin* PHONE No. Ii-698-6 ; (jram by REA borrowers in North | Carolina, say* l*.

If not, the greet turns black and will stain the nut and even the kernel it not remov ed. Halls a Is 1 may be removed b\ rolling the nuts on the gr and with the foot. Once the hulU have been removed, the nuts should ! dumped into a tub of water aim churned about with a broom until lean. Then spread them out on a clean floor in a well ventilated room to dry. Ql'ESTIOX—Should I save the seed from my hydrid corn for use another year ANsWKK — Do not save seed 1V m hydrid corn, says Dr, E. R. Collins, in charge oo Extension agronomy work at .state College, t orn is a hydrid only the first year it is grown after crossing two parent strains. Seed saved from hydrid corn normally pro duces much less than it did the first year, he says. QUESTION -- It it all right to I add me or more ingredients to | ihe poultry mash 1 buy for feod i ing'! ANSWER -No, say poultry spec ial:-'..' with the State College Ex tension Service. This practice is undesirable because mixed mash e.^ sold are balanced from a bio logical standpoint. That is. the prutain level, the mineral balance, and the unitage of essential vita mins have been incorporated into the mash when mixed, and the feed should lie satisfactory for op timum performance of tho birds. When other materials are added, !...- balance is upset and the per formance of the birds usually su. tVrs.

Carolina poultry department. Under the popular system of starting one group of pullets dur ing the spring, it has not been possible to maintain uniform pro duction all the year around. Nat urally, he says .these pullets be gin laying in September and Oct ober. gradually increase until the following spring, and by late sum mer and early fall, drop off in produtcion. To prevent this sudden decline in egg production, some poultry men have resorted to starting pul lets in the fall months or in Jan uary. However, Dr. Bostian says, no accurate records have been kept on the production of these birds, | and the poultry department is! seeking to have actual and con j trolled experiments on which ti base its recommendations. The department is planning to hatch a group of W bite Leghorn and Rhode Island Red chicks^ a round November 15, he says. Next April 15, a second group of chicks will be hatched from the same par-1 cut birds. I The two groups of chicks will be treated in as nearly the same way as possible, and complete records of their weights, produc tion. mortality, and the market value of the eggs laid will be kept Dr. B.istian says.

To help our boys fight all three of these enemies, Sinclair produces great quanti ties of tough, dependable aviation lubri cants. Every day, Sinclair refineries turn out enough aviation oils to lubricate a flight of 3,500 heavy American bombers. Today Sinclair is not only one of the largest producers of aviation lubricants, but its modern refineries also make the ex plosive Toluene, 100-octane gasoline and many other types of fuels and specialized lubricants for war-front and home-front use. Altogether, there are 10 modern Sinclair refineries serving this nation and its allies. ► SINCLAIR DEALERS fight fric tion on the home front. Their Sinclair-ize service helps make cars last longer.
