STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS Question: My land will not grow tobacco. Can I rent land to grow my allotment? Answer: Under certain conditions, 1 yes. If, for example, your land is infested with a tobacco disease, you may rent land to carry out a five year rotation. In such cases, however, it is necessary that the cash-rented fields or tracts be covered by a writ ten lease of not less than five years. The lease must be on record in the county in which the farm is located. The closing date for accepting appli cations for combinations of cash-rent ed land has passed for 1954. Question: How often should I take soil samples? , Answer: If a good representative sample is taken from a field it should be good for a period of from three to five years. The length of time, of course, will be dependent somewhat upon the nature of the soil and on the cropping system followed. The crop ping system will have an influence because of the fertilization and liming practices followed with different crops. Question: Why is the livestock in dustry so important to the average farm family ? Answer: One reason, and a good one, is that the livestock industry helps furnish the family food supply. Livestock products used on North Car olina farms in 1951 were valued at S9O million and cash sales in 1950 were worth! C 147 million. In other words, the value of home consumption ap proaches the income from cash sales. I'iwiu ,u> tnr mumir i Mini t .t>n m until wctus appear. i mill corn at j MR. FARMER •'-. • - ; .

West Carteret St. Edenton, N. C. ALL SEED RECEIVES OUR PERSONAL A TTENTION. A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE YOU! ’ That S9O million figure brings up two "jother points: (1) Texas is the only state exceeding North Carolina in val ’’ue of livestock products used at home, ; jand (2) in North Carolina livestock products used at home are worth al- I most twice as much as home consump ’ tion of all crops. 1 Question: What is centipede grass? Answer: It’s a low creep lawn 1 grass that does well on almost any kind of soil. Its scientific name is ' Eremochloa ophiuroides. It will grow well in the sun and does reasonably well in the shade. Its main claim is ! ,that it remains close to the ground and requires little mowing. The worst objection to it is that it browns I over at the first frost of winter and '' remains so until spring growth starts. ■ Seed of centipede grass are now be- coming available. If you can get them ( ? seed them in April. However, the us- j ' ual practice is to start centipede | ! grass from roots planted in April and| f May. , t Question: How can I keep crab-1 grass and cockleburs out of my corn ? | Answer: With 2, 4-1) you can con-1 • trbl crabgrass, cockelburs, morning glory pic\v< ' <l. lambsquarter and rag-, weed. Use pre-emergence spray, j ' spraying surface of soil five to seven 1 • day., after planting or jnst before corn ) - emerges. Use 11,l 1 , nounds of 2, 4-R • per acre on sandy soils. 1 1 pounds on ■ clay soils and two pounds on muck ; , soils. Do not cultivate or disturb the I - soil until the corn is 14 inches tall . or until weeds appear. Plant com at least one inch deep. Avoid pre-emer- j gence applications on extremely sandy ( soils. Injury to stand may occur if ( heavy rains follow the application be-1 fore the corn comes up. Poor weed control is likely under dry conditions. Question: What actual value do le gumes have in livestock feeding? Answer: The legumes are rich in high-quality protein, are well supplied with phosphorous and calcium, and are a good source of vitamins, especially A and D. These qualities make le gumes rate as one of man’s beat foods and as almost indispensable for effi cient, economical livestock feeding. The protein in legumes is directly re lated to high nitrogen content, and in this respect they differ greatly from Notice To Voters As a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Chowan County, I am soliciting your vote and support in the Democratic Primary Election Saturday, May 29.
