THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER If. 1946 MATTERS of INTEREST to Don’t Plant Wheat For Early Grazing Wheat la a good grazing crop all right, but It should not be planted In .September or early October bc eause of damage by the Hessian fly and the fact that such planting will dovelope a heavy lufesiatlon of fllos to attack the wheat crop for grain next spring. “By all means leave wheat out of the early seedlngs for grazing,’’ says James T. Conner, Jr.; of State Col lege, Extension entomologist. “Plant wheat only after the fly-freo dates for grain and these dates will eary for the different sections of the State.” He points out that while a recent survey shows that the Infestation of Hessian fly is rolativoly light so far this year, the only w(iy to keep this infestation small is by not planting wheat early. The best dates for seeding wheat in North Carolina are: Coastal Plain, November 1 to 10; Piedmont, Octo ber 10 to 31; and Mountains, Sep tember 20 to October 20'. The earlier dates apply to the northern section of each holt. Conner says that some Hessian fly damage can be expected next spring a.s a result of volnnteor wheat, but that the fly population should not ho increased by early seeding of wheat for grain or In pasture inlxlures. Some fanners have thought that the grazing of Iht' grain will hold down the Hessian fly damage to a mini mum but this does not hold true, Seeding of all small grains at the proper time Is one ^if the most Im portant points In product Ion. The Extension agronomists point out that whc'at seeded at the Plediuimt Test Farm at Statesville produced an aver age of 25.2 bushels, when planted on Oeloher 15, as compared with IS.I bushels for November 15 seeding. Corn Borer Parasite Putting On A Blitz A saving of thousands of dollars a year in Tarheel farmers future corn crops is evident ns the result of one of the most Interesting and valuable biological studies to bo released for many years with the recent an nouncement by C. H. Brannon, En tomology Chief of the N. C. Depart ment of Agriculture, that an import ed insect parasite found by 'the U. S. Bureau of Entomology will destroy the larvae of the European corn borer before they have had time to develop Into the destructive and voracious adult stage.

Montgomery, chair man of tho board of the American Colton Manufactu-rers Association and prt'aident of Spartan Mills, said recently. “Rofloarcb by the National Indus trial Conference Board, recently pub lished as ‘Economics of the Cotton Textile Industr/,' clearly tracesthe relationship between the two,” he said. “There is a close relationship between the disposable Incomes of Individuals (money remaining after taxes are paid) and the volume of cotton goods available for domestic consumption.” This demand Increases rapidly as incomes go higher, he added. In 1935-36, families with an annual in come of less than $500 spent about $1S per year oh cotton goods, Mont gomery said, while those In the $1,- 600-$2,000 Income group spent $44. Families in the >$5,000 group and above spent about $112 each year for cotton products. “It Is estimated that if the buy ing power of the families whose an nual income is $1,000 or less were raised to the $1,000' ,'to $1,600 level, cotton purchases would Increase 12.1 per cent and mills would use an addi tional 696,000 bales of cotton,” Montgomery said. Don’t Use DDT Over Com Fed To Animals which would prey upon and destroy Insect pests and at the same time be harmless In themselves and capable of economic good. Some Insects were found which would do this work. Many of these, however, have been economically unprofitable as the per centage of the pest destroyed has been too low. Many others were Dr, Jekylls and Mr. Hydes with dual per sonalities—or appetites as the case may be. They would grow tired of the Insects which they were supposed to destroy and eat beneficial species instead. Not so, however, with these im ported insects which have made such a record for ithemselvcs In Camden county this year. They have estab lished the astonishing economic rec ord of killing from 26 to 60. per cent of the larvae of the European corn borer and It Is expected that they will bo able to save thousands of corn dollars for Tarheel farmers In the immediate future. The Camden county experiments were conducted by D. W. Jones of the Moorestown, New Jersey, labor atory of the Agricultural Research Administration of the U. S. D. A., who says, according to Mr. Bran non, that the new and beneficial parasite is now well established in Camden county and will continue to prove economically effective. While It is advisable to do every thing possible to control pests in stored grain, still no feed'or food treated with DDT should be used for any animal. Seed treated with DDT should carry the POISON label. However, State College entomolo gists suggest that DDT can be used to advantage, lor example, in pre venting insect damage to co^rn used tor seed. The. crop should be harvested promptly before It becomes infested In the field. Prior to storage, the old grain should he removed from the bins and tlie walls, ceilings, and floors sprayed with 6 per cent DDT spray at the rate of 1 gallon to each 1,000 square feet. This spray is made by adding four-fifths of a pound of 60 per cent wettable DDT powder to 1 gallon of water. It the corn Is not to be cleaned, graded, and sacked within a, week after harvest, the pathologists sug gests that 2 ounces of 6 per cent DDT dust be added to each 100 pounds of corn as it goes Into storage. If the corn is to be processed with in the week, 1 ounce of the dust may be thoroughly mixed with the seed. The corn should not be Tiandled much after treating because of the dust settling to the bottom of the sack. "Avoid breathing the DDT dust,” say the entomologists. "A respirator is a good Investment.”' Hybrid Corn Greatly Increases Acre Yield RICHMOND. vrRCiNtA I N C E Tho News is well equipped to do nil klud.s of Job Printing. Give ns your orders now. A NEW COTTON GIN has been needed in this community for a long time. We have it no'w and are ready to offer our customers the finest, most mod ern ginning service obtainable in this territory. We have the equipment, but in order to obtain the best results from it, we must ask the cooperation of our customers on the following points: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Don’t pick your cotton too green, but wait until the sun has ^^flushed it out” so that the giin will handle it better. If you want to get it out of the field before it has opened fully store it in a house for a iFew days. The natural heat in the seed will cause the fibre to loosen and flush out. If the cotton is rained on after being picked, or is picked too soon after a rain, spread it out in a dry place in the sun or in a building where air can circulate over and through it until dry. Pick your cotton as free from trash as possible. Keep good cotton sepsirate from off-grade cotton. If our customers will cooperate on these points we can give them a service which will put money into their pockets. The best gin made cannot satisfactorily handle cotton which is too green or wet. Let us serve you this season. We will haul your cotton to the gin for a reasonable price, and buy your cotton and seed at the highest market price. Farmers Cotton Oil Co. S. G. HOWELL, Mgr. LILLINGTON, N. C. Hybrid corn played an important part In winning the war. By changing to hybrid the Cale donia Farm cut Us feed corn acreage from about 600 to 360 acres without reducing the livestock to be fed. Hybrid corn enabled U. S. farm ers to raise 1 1-3 billion bushels more corn annually on 30,000,000 less acres in World War II than World War I. This released hundreds of thousands of farmers for -the war ef fort and released land for war crops. Yet enough extra corn was raised to feed enough livestock to feed the- allies and have about' 40' per cent more meat ration per person In the U. S. than in World War I. About 64 per cent of the total U. S. corn acreage Is now hybrid. In 1946, only enough adapted hy brid seed was available to plant about 10 per cent of the 2,600,000 acres of corn in North Carolina. By 1960 N. C. State College anticipates that practically all corn In North Carolina will be hybrid, as the pro duction of hybrid seed is N. C. Is increasing rapidly. It takes many years to breed an adapted hybrid. ■w Capt. Tolar,' Superintendent of the 7,000 acre Caledonia, N. C.
