Question:.. What are the ad
vantages of cultivating dotton
shallow?
Answer: 1116 advantages are
(1) less pruning of roots, permit
ting full plant growth; (2) less
loss of soil moisture; (3) cultiva
tion equipment can
at higher speed; (4) less power
required; (5) less grass and weed
seed plowed into germinating
area; and (6) increased yield.
Question: Can irrigation affect
tree growth?
Answer: Irrigation on pines
by pumping water into shallow
surface irrigation ditches can al
most double growth during late
summer dry spells. At the pres
ent, however, the cost of pump
ing water makes it impractical to
use this method. It may well be
that as wood becomes more valu
f able and irrigation methods are
improved, watering of the forest
tree crop will be common.
Question: How does North
Carolina compare with , some of
the nation’s leading fruit and
vegetable states in the number of
cooperatives?
Answer: California has 274
fruit and vegetable cooperatives;-
Florida has 65; Michigan has 32.
NoHh Carolina has only s'x.
Question: Should sweet pota
to growers use a weed killer on
their crop?
Answer: No. Not until furth
er research is conducted. Some
off-flavors have been detected in
sweet potatoes treated with weed
killers.

state.
Question: How is the supply
of quality sweet potato plants?
Answer: The supply is still
good. This means farmers can
be choosy in their selection.. Hor
ticultural specialists suggest that
farmers choose certified seed,
preferably North Carolina certi
fied seed.
Question: How is the best way
to cultivate cotton?
Answer: Cotton should be cul
tivated shallow, flat and fre
quent. Sweeps should not go
deeper than one to two inches.
Even though the cotton plant has
a tap root, food is taken up pri
marily from lateral roots. About
75 per cent of the plant food and
water is absorbed at less than a
four-inch depth.
Question: How are most fruits
and vegetables sold in North
Carolina?
Answer: Most of the state’s
fruits and vegetables are sold
through fresh market channels.
A relatively small amount is fro
zen or canned. For instance in
1957 the total value of vegetables
grown for fresh market was about
sl2 million. For vegetables pro
duced for commercial processing
the value was about $2.5 million.
Cucumbers for pickling and snap
beans are the two important
vegetable crops grown in North
Carolina for processing.

WEED KILLER PAID OFF
FOR COTTON THIS YEAR
Pre - emergence herbicides in
cotton have paid off handsomely
this year.
That’s the report from W. G.
Westmoreland, weeds specialist
for the N. C. Agricultural Exten
sion Service.
About 2,000 acres of cotton
land were treated, Westmoreland
reports. Most of treated 'land
was in Anson, Hoke, Union and
Cleveland Counties. Other coun
ties had a few fields treated.
The rainy weather following
planting put the herbicides to a
real test. Crabgrass became a
problem in untreated fields,
while in the treated fields the
weed killers did an excellent job.
Most farmers who used herbi
cides are pleased, Westmoreland'
