Salvaging Of Seed
Urged On Pastures
Of Crimson Clover
Farmers who have crimson clover !
this year should certainly plan to !
harvest the seed crop, according to |
E. Y. Floyd of State College, state
AAA executive officer .who points |
out that larger supplies of seed will
be needed for winter cover crops, 8nd i
? good price is expected.
The crimson clover seed purchase 1
program announced by the 'Jn ted
States Department of Airlco'.uro '
last September provides Mm th Caro- i
Una farmers participating in the AAA
program with a market for seed at !
prices somewhat higher than pr: 1
Vaiicu iusi year ,hc said.
In -tates east of tin- Mississippi
River th basic price fur reclraned
tested seed, delivered in baps to des
ignated hsaffiw*. is ii s c?tV--s j?-v
pound if termination Ls 90 per cent
or more. Provision also is made for a
scale of prices ranging down to 10 5
cents per pound fo rseed germinating
30 per cent. Mr. Floyd pointed out
that prices this fall may range e\en
higher tiia utile level set in iiie pui -
chase program.
In operation, he declared, the pro
gram will be similar to that of last
year when seed growers of Tennes
see and Kentucky delivered more
than fionono pounds of crimsltn
clover seed to the Commodity Credit
Corporation.
The AAA official said saving crim
son clover seed i3 especially mpor
tant ths year if farmers are to have
enough seed to take care of seeding
requirements next fall. In previous
years ,he pointed out. about one-half
of the crimson clover seed used In
this country was imported .but due
t othe war no seed is.availabel from
overseas this year. For this reason,
he said .enough must be grown at
home to supply an expanded need
fo rplanting winter cover crops In
this country.

Culling Of Poultry
Is Necessary Now,
Says State Expert
This is the season of heavy egg
production in farm poultry flocks. C.
P. Parrish, Extension poultry spe
cialist of N. C. State College, says
now is the time to "Cull out, but
don't sell out."
A group of farm cooperatives and
private firms, cooperating with the
State College Extension Service and
the N. C. Department of Agriculture,
have organized an egg-buying pro
gram, to offer an unlimited market
?t standard prices. Parrish says de
tails of the program can be learned
by farm people from their county
farm and home agents. The buying
program is designed to remove sur
plus eggs from the market.

As general it-commendations to
poultry producers for the month of
March, Parrish said: "As we rear a
the spring period of flusli egg pro
rjiir-ii"'!. finn'i wH til? FIik-k. till) nisi .
cull out the low producers and the
hens that have quit laying.
"This gradual culling of non-lay- '
ers will help to prevent a slump in
the poultry meat market," the Ex- !
tension specialist explained, "The |
slump in epg pi-ices is not expeciuu j
to be as severe as in years past The ]
duration of the slump is expected to ]
be comparatively short due to tho
Government, cooperative and privatt
egg-buying programs."
As further suggestions to poultry
farmers, Parrish said that the use of
electric lights in the hen house, to
induce heavier production by arti
ficially lengthening the "daylight"
hours, should be discontinued grad
ually as the days get longer. "Avoid
giving the flock more than a 14-hour
day If morning lights are used," he
advised.
Parrish also recommended that
the use of wet mash be gradually re
duced until the practice is discon
tinued entirely as the days lengthen.
"Wet mash will be needed again
about the last of June to help hold
the flock in production thhrough
hot weather," he said.

Another Cash Crop
Paying "Big" Seen
In Sweet Potatoes
i
?*
Farmers who are looking for a new
"cash" crop might try sweet pota
toes .says H. R. Niswonger, Extension
horticulturist of N. C. State College.
He says that North Carolina yams
are gaining in popularity on Eastern
markets.
The varieties of sweet potatoes in
biggest demand are the Porto Ricos,
either the N. C. Strain 1 or the Lou
isiana strain. Other varieties, such
as the Nancy Hall and the Jersey
type, have limited demand on some
markets.
Niswonger says the best type of
soil for growing sweet potatoes Is
sandy or sandy loam. "Heavy soils
and dark soils? especially rich gar
den soils and places where manure
has been used heavily ? produce poor
quality of potatoes," the horticultur
ist advised. "Also, soils where le
gumes have been turned under have
a tendency to produce over size, dis
colored and cracked potatoes. Such
land should be planted to corn or
cotton for a year or two, and the
nitrogen in the fertilizer reduced."
It is very important to use seed
that are free from disease. Niswonger
declared. It is always best to use
certified seed, or certified slips that
have been produced preferably by a
grower who has been practicing hill
seed selection. Only medium-sized
seed should be bedded. The Extension
specialist says information about the
source of certified seed or certified
sprouts can be obtained from county
farm agents, or by writing direct to
the N. C. Crop Improvement Associa
tion, N. C. State College. Raleigh.
Other recommendations by the
horticulturist Include: Treat the seed
before beddtng. It requires five or
nix bushels of seed to set one acre.
Use plants from vine cuttings.

Red Clover Mixture
With Lespedeza Is
Urged In Pastures
For an excellent forage and soil
building crop. E. C. Blair. Extension
agronomist of N. C Rtnre College,
suggests a combination of led clover
and lespedeza to Piedmont and
Mountain farmers. He lists five ad
vantages from such a combination.
I '11 You get a crop of mixed red
I clover an dlespe<leza hay in Septem
I ber.
I 2) You get a crop of red clover
| hay 'containing no lespedeza' the
? following May.
'3' You harvest a crop of red clo
i ver seed in August. This is combined
and all the crop except th" seed can
' be left on the land for soil improve
i ment.
'4' You can combine a crop of les
pedeza seed in November.
'5> The stalks and leaves of the i
red clover and lespedeza.. combined
' for seed in August and November,
1 can be turned under to build up the
t soil.
Blair said that red clover was a
: favorite crop in the western half of
? the State prior to the 1920's. Prom
j 1920 to 1930 farmers gradually
switched to lespedeza, because red
clover needed lime and lespedeza
grew satisfactorily without lime.
"Now that thousands of tons of
AAA limestone has been applied oy
I Piedmont and Mountain farmers
during the past few years, most soils
are in good condition to grow red
i clover again.'1 the agronomist stated.
"Red clover is generally conceded to
; be a better legume than lespedeza."
Blair says that lespedeza has one
I serious disadvantage : It makes only
one crop per y ear. and usually this
must be cut for hay. Red clover
makes two crops annually. Also, some
farmers who have been growing les
pedeza for years, and cutting most of
it for hay. are becoming aware of the
soil-depleting effects of the crop.
' The combination of red clover and
lespedeza has all the advantages of
each crop, and eliminates most of the
, disadvantages.

German Losses
Conservative estimates place the
number of German casualties in the
Russian campaign to date at more
than one million men. This is more
than half the number of Germans
killed in the whole four years of the
last war.
