Question: Is corn better for cattle
when fed as silage?
Answer: The ailo gives from 25 to
30 per cent more feeding value to the
com crop than when it is harvested
and fed as grain and fodder-. There
is no waste of leaves, stalks and husks
which contain about 40 per cent of
the feeding value of the com plant
when placed in the silo.
Question: What chemical should I
use for weed and nematode control in
my tobacco plant bed and when is the
best time for treatment?
Answer: October is the month for
treating plant beds and one pound of
cyanamid per square yard gives satis
factory weed control and costs less
than most other treatments.
Also, 16-6-2 supplies the fertilizer
needed for plant growth and contains
cyanamid and fertilizer grade urea

Question: How can I prevent weed
( flavors in milk?
. Answer: By eliminating such an
[ nual weeds as garlic, onions, and bit
, terweed, through the development and
, use of better pastures and crops.
> Such feeds as clover, lucerne and
. cabbages also give characteristic fla
vors to milk when fed just before
, milking. Several methods for the re

is what causes the plant to become
diseased. We have two important
groups of nematodes that affect to

12) meadow nematodes. These pests

Where do I obtain information on
! soil testing ?
Answer: Visit your local agricul
ture agencies—the county farm agent,
the soil conservationist, vocational ag
riculture teacher, PMA office, or oth
ers. Ask for soil sample boxes, mail
ing cartons, and information sheets.
Instructions for taking samples are
printed on the back of each informa
tion sheet; follow them closely. Your
only cost is postage to the Soil Test

; Question: What kind of records
■ should I keep of fields that I have
I soil-tested?
• Answer: A rough map or diagram
’ of your farm should be drawn and
1 areas marked where soil samples have
been taken. Aerial photographs or
1 other permanent farm maps could be
used if available. Numbering the
1 samples in consecutive order, as 1,2,
3, etc., is the simplest and helps avoid
confusion. /
Question: I’m a tobacco farmer
and I want to know something about
nematodes and bow they affect me.
Answer: Nematodes are tiny
worm-like creatures. Most forms are
so small you cannot see them. It is
barely possible to see a mature female
of some species. We have many types
of nematodes in North Carolina soils.
Seme are harmless to tobacco while
others are parasites and live by suck
ing juices from the plant roots. This
year to year in the soil and decaying
roots. When you grow tobacco and
other susceptible crops continuously
in infested soil, the nematode popu
lation increases until it is no longer
profitable to grow these crops.
Question: Have agricultural scien
tists developed a tobacco that is re
sistant to nematodes?
Answer: No. While some varieties
of tobacco in commercial use may
withstand nematode attacks some
what better than others, we don’t have
highly resistant varieties yet. Ex
periment Station plant breeders are
striving to develop nematode-resistant
varieties and to add this resistance to
varieties resistant to other diseases
such as black shank and the bacterial
wilts.
Question: What kind of females
should I get to start a beef herd? |
Answer: The difterence in quality
of the various breeds is so little that
the choice should be that of the in
dividual. However, the foundation fe
males should be of high-quality
grades of purebreds. In general, the
inexperienced farmer . should start
with good quality grade females as

Question:/Could you give me some
special hints to good honey produc
tion?
Answer: Honey is a spvicial food
and you should give it special care.
1. Cut only new, fully sealed combs.
1 2. Have jars thoroughly cleaned and
dry. 3. Keep surroundings clean. A
damp cloth can be used to clean up
drops of honey and for wiping your
hands. 4. Store honey in a dry place

Question: Can I expect an increase
in rate-of-gain in my pigs as a result
of cross-breeding?
Answer: Yes. Experiments have
shown that an increase in rate-of
gain can be expected. A purebred
boar of one breed is crossed on a
purebred, or a good grade sow of
another breed. Many commercial hog .
breeders use a system called criss
crossing, where three breeds are used
instead of two.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is often interred with their
