(1) If fusarium .wilt is a serious problem, both are . wilt resistant. (2) If a marketing outlet has been arranged for in advance of planting. Thf skin color of the copper skin Goldrush is very similar to Porto Rica Therefore it competes in the ; market place to a higher degree /thap dois Goldrush.

These f grubs emerge over a three-month > period. Therefore, treatments will ; be needed every three or four 1 weeks for at least three treat ments. Question: Which months are the best for hog killing? Answer: December and January. The average temperature is more favorable, and losses due to high temperatures are less. Question: Are there important differences in dairy feeds? Answer: Yes. Look at the feed tag when buying feed and compare it with others. Although all feeds I will not have the total energy value listed as total digestible nutrients (TDN) or terms of net energy, you will find the chemical analysis val uable for comparison of feed val ues. tlive particular attention first to the fiber content of the feed, for the higher it is the lower the amount of available energy for ! milk production. The better feeds I | have six to eight per cent fiber y content, whereas the cheaper mix- Itures may run as high as 12 to 15 ' per cent fiber. For every addition- I al one per cent of fiber in the feed, the available energy drops around one and a half per cent, so watch the fiber. Question: Should house plants be given fresh air? Answer: Yes, but keep the plants out of drafts. Don’t place them in front of fans or over radi ators. »»»»»»^.»»»^^rwvvvvvvvvwwwvyvVVWVWVV\A^WWVWyvWWWV* I I I I § J «H oi(; C e '*LLY SELECTED f«°* p ** Calvert RESERVE $045 SOBS PINT ► t_J 4 /S QT.

Answer: Save those roots one and a half inches in diameter or larger, preferably U. S. No. 1 size or larger. Smooth Jumbos are al so excellent. The use of slips for bedding purposes is a very poor practice. They make small, weak plants. Question: What is one of the j main reasons for ham spoilage ? Answer: Failure to chill the car casses properly. All carcasses should be chilled over night before cutting. If the average tempera ture is above 40 degrees F., the carcasses should be chilled under refrigeration. Question: What varieties of Irish potatoes are recommended for commercial production in Eastern North Carolina? I Answer; Sheradin and Bliss Tri umph are recommended red-skinned varieties. Sebago, Irish Cobbler, and Plymouth are the recommended white-skinned variety. Plymouth is a variety developed and recently released by the North Carolina Ex periment Station. It is a very high yielding, late blight resistant va riety, maturing about the same time as Cobbler. The tubers are white, smooth, ’ blocky, and shal low eyed. Question: How do I get rid of small spiders which seems to be coming into my house? Answer: These small spiders are called clover mites, and they are moving from the lawn or some where close by to your house. These pests can best be controlled by treating an area 10 feet wide around the base of your house with insecticides such as malathion or aramite.

Answer: Now that the plants ' are dormant is the best time to eon- trol these pests. Apply dormant j sprays containing either liquid lime sulphur or oil. Remember, how ever, lime sulphur stains buildings or fences painted with any of the lead containing paints. Question: Does anyone know how much land will be planted to trees under the Conservation Re serve phase of the Soil Bank pro-, gram ? Answer: Recently all the coun ty ASC committees were asked to j submit estimates on this. They re i ported, first of all, that over one half million acres of existing crop land in the state should be planted to treeß. They estimated that near ly 200,000 acres of this would be planted over the next three years if tree planting stock i s available to. do so. Home Meat Budget Is Very Important About one-fourth of the average family budget for food for home use is spent for mlats. This is ac cording to a survey carried out in 1955 by thh U. S. Department .of Agriculture, some of the results | ■ of which are just being released. Fifteen per cent of .the food bud ' get in the average family goes for all dairy products, excluding but ter. This includes such things as milk, cheese, cottage cheese, ice cream and cream for coffee or whipping. About 12 per cent of i the total food expenditures is used | for cereals qnd bakery products, and 11 per cent fqr vegetables. About eight per cent is spent for , poultry_and eggs; and another eight per'cent for fruits. Fata and oils, including ‘ butter, take about five per cent of the food budget, and only three per cent goes for sugars and swe'ets. ' Thg large volume of statistics gathered by the Agricultural Re search Service and the Agricul tural Marketing Service is still be ing compiled and analyzed. When the job is completed, it is expected to give the best picture yet avail able of the dietary habits of Amer ican families, their differences by/ geographical regjons, income levels, and the size of' the community in which they live.
