Farmers Os State Will Again Vote On ■ Nickels Program RefUKndum Is Schedul ed to Be Held Friday, October 15 North Carolina fanners will vote Friday, October 18, on whether or not to continue the Nickels for Know-How program, initiated in November, 1951. The impending vote was authorized April 7 by the State Board of Agri culture, acting upon a request by the State Grange, the Farm Bureau, and the Agricultural Foundation. E. Y. Floyd was unanimously nam ed chairman of the referendum com mittee. According to an enabling act passed by the 1951 General Assembly, a ref erendum must be held each three years if the Nickels for Know-How program is to continue. The present program will expire December 31 un less approved in a referendum by farmers and other users of feed and fertilizer by a two-thirds majority of those voting. During the first two years since farmers agreed to contribute a nickel for every ton of feed and fertilizer they purchased, the State Department of Agriculture has collected and turn ed over to the Agricultural Founda tion $286,025.80 to be used for agri cultural research and in getting re search results to the farmer. This money has hired experts to I seek the answers to problems in crop stands, poultry nutrition, poultry di sease; cotton variety evaluation, weed control, peanuts, tobacco, farm mar keting, pesticides, nematodes, forage crops, and horticulture. Three per sons have been employed to work ex clusively with the Challenge; a radio- TV specialist and a home economics editor have been hired to help put re search results in the hands of farm ers and home makers.

Soapsuds must be out. Soap causes white gar ments to yellow, as well as to become dingy and blue. Serve broiled tomato halves and rounds of onions with broiled lamb chops. Dribble melted margarine over both vegetables. Then sprinkle the tomatoes with a little crushed basil and the onions with a bit of brown sugar. Homemakers can recover kitchen chairs and other casual furniture col orfully and economically with ordinary both towels. 'Bowdwn 11 I ’2l° lMi '*'• JSW CASCADE i GEO. A. DICKEL DISTILLING COMPANY.

Growth starts in the j fall and continues through the winter; ] the plants mature in early summer. 1 On poor land it makes little growth, 1 but on rich soils it produces a good j amount of forage which is relished by livestock. Very little work has ; been done with Rescue grass in North i Carolina and at present it occupies : a very insignificant place in the for age program of this state. Question: How do insects infest stored grain? Answer: Insects in stored grain , come from eggs laid on or in the grain, depending upon the species of insect. The rice weevil, for exam ple, lays its eggs in the grain, while the angoumois grain moth lays its eggs outside the grain. The larvae hatching from rice weevil eggs start boring through the grain while the larvae that hatch from angoumois moth eggs first have to bore into the grain. Either of these pests may lay its eggs in grain standing in the field. In North Carolina the rice weevil or the angoumois grain moth may attack and infest com in the field if it has 25 per cent moisture or less. A primary source of field infestation is by spread from infest ed grain in nearby storage places. Question: How acid should my soy bean soils be?
