Top Dressing Of Small
Grain Should Begin Now
Results of demonstrations conducted
in this county by farmers last
yea- show that for every' dollar spent
on top dressing, three to four dollars
was returned in increased yields.
To the farmers who have small grain
this year it is now time to make side
applications of Nitrate of Soda or
Sulphate of Ammonia. This application
should be made when small grain
is about five or six inches high of just
before renewed spring growth starts.
It has been found that most farmers
wait too late to top dress their small
grain, therefore they do not get the
desired results. This application
should be at least one hundred pounds
to the acre.
Also where the farmers used only
Acid Phosphate in the fall, an additional
application of 20 to 50
pounds to the acre of Muriate or
suipnate oi Potash will be found
beneficial.
Says Newspapers Are
Big Help To Farmers
X->rth Carolina farmers find
their newspaners a valuable source
of agricultural news and helpful inrorm-Ltion,
according to a statement
by Dean I. O. Schaub, of State
College.
Papers in both the weekly and the
daily groups carry numerous stories
keeping the fainter and his family
posted on wihai is going on in the
field of agr .hare and home economies,
he pointed out.
Other stories give helpful suggestions
regarding better ways of doing
things on the farm and in the country
home, the dean continued.
A number of county farm and
home agents over the State have
reported that with few exceptions,
the farm family getting ahead and
making the most of its opportunities
is a family that reads newspapers
regularly.
There are nearly 200 county newspapers
in the state published weekly,
semi-weekly, or tri-weekly, and practically
all of them have a regular
policy of earring timley farm news
Dean Schaub mid.
He added that much of the agricultural
progress of the State car.
be attributed to the constructive
efforts of newspaper in keeping
their rural readers well informed.
And the State College extnsion
service, of which Dean Schaub is
director, is firmly convinced that
anything it can do to help the news
papers supplv their readers with
word i while agricultural news is a
service to farm people of the State.

Bermuda Grass Helps
Save Terrace Outlet?
] Good Bermuda grass sod gives
j iust as effective protection as masor
,ry for terrace outlet channels and is
I more practical and economical, ii
Ithe opinion of W. C. Wooten, States
, ville farmer who cooperates wit!
Roil Conservation Service and Statt
College Extension Service.
Construction of terrace outlel
channels to control water emptier
from terraces is just one of the
erosion-control practices that Mr
Woorten is following on his 262 acre
farm. Outlet channels are emptcd
into pasture of woods where the
water is spread out and absorbed
into the ground.
A three year rotation, consisting
of cotton and corn, small grain and
lespedeza, has been established on
160 acres under cultivation. Approximately
120 acres have been
terraced. 25 acres of which are
strip cropped.
Wooten improved his pasture sod
by planting a mixture of legumes and
grasses. He has a soil improvement
demonstration plot on the farm.
Vinos and shrubs have been set
out on a severely gullied area of
five acres. These plants will provide
food and cover for wildlife as well
