J)r. ft. P. Moore, director In cbargc of ilie North Carolina Crop I m provciiuMit Association. ■Members of the association who are specialising In the production of high quality certified hybrid seed corn realize the importance of good idantln/c seed on North Carolina farms, Dr. .Moore said. Those seed producers are now busy in their ef forts to see tlial hlgh quality seed are produced and proces.ssod under eertification regulations. But. he continued the seed pro ducers realize that good seed alone will not produce a good crop. They know that the seed must bo planted in a properly j)repared and fertilized seed aed, and that the resulting crop must be properly side-dressed and cultivated, if tlie true production jiower of I lie seed Is to be realized.

Approxi mately 25,000 of these tags are to ho used this year.

By saving the tag the buyer may use the factors for converting yield of corn produced from 50 feet of row into yields per acre. Electrical Safety Important On Farm "'rhe ‘killers’ and ‘firebugs’biding In electric wires must be kept under control," according to C. R. Ammons, Harnett county agent for the State ! Collogo Extension Service. "They , .nay strike without warning. When ' used safely electricity brings happl- j ness to the entire family and helps ' lake the backache out of routine I farm chores." j The National Safety Gouncll rec ommends three stops for electrical I safety. ! The first stop is a safe wiring Job. ■Ml wiring should bo inspeotod by a qualified liiopector certified by the power supplier. Circuits, outlets and j wire sizes should bo planned to meet j the needs without overloading. Tem- luirary wiring, unnecessary extension cords and other amateurish installa tions should be avoided. The entire wiring system is no safer than Its weakest link. The second step is good electrical appliances safely Installed. W hen you buy electrical appliances look for the "UD” label signifying that the equip ment has boon tested and approved as safe by the Underwriters Labora tory. Stationery equipment should be grounded and may require special circuits for safe use. Portable equip ment used in damp places should also he grounded. The third stop Is safe use and maintenance of the electrical system and appliances. The best wiring and equipment needs some attention now and then. Watch for broken Insula tors, frayed cords, loose outlets or switches and damaged or worn fix tures. Don't delay repair—It ntay cost a life. Bo sure the electric cur rent Is turned off before any repair work Is attempted.

General Contractors are notified that "An Act to Regulate the Prac- TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS Answered at State Collofie Question: What processes are used to obtain maximum quality for North Carolina certified hybrid corn seed? Answer: Dr, R. P. Moore, head of the Crop Improvement Association, says many of the small 'producers Inspect each seed ear individually and remove by band the diseased or damaged kernels prior to shelling. But the larger growers resort to spe cial equipment known us a gravity .separator to perform the task on a mechanical 'basis. The gravity separ- rator makes separation on the basis of density of kernels. A flow or regu lated forced air from beneath an ad justed vibrating tilted screen causes the kernels to float closely to the screen and to become arranged in or der of their density. Since the dlseas- e(^ or damaged kernels are usually lighter in weight, /they ibeeome group ed at one edge of the screen or "apron,” where separation Is made. Question: What fertilization should bo used on vines of bunch grapes? Answer; Apply 1-2 pint of C-8-6 fertilizer or two level tablespoonsfuJ of nitrate of soda to newly set pUnts. Make the application in early spring before growth starts. Vines two and three years old may need twice the above amount of fertilizer. For an established vineyard three years of age and older, apply two to three pints of 6-8-6 fertilizer or 1-4 to 1-2 pint of nitrate of soda. A liberal ap plication of stable manure mixed with superphosphate may be applied In the fall as a substitute for the above fertilizer. Question:, What percentage of the nation's corn acreage Is planted with hybrid seed? . Answer: The acreage of hybrid corn has Increased from 0-1 per cent of the total In t93'3 to 21.7 per cent of the total in 1947—or from 143,- 000 to more than 61 million acres. Over i92 per cent of the corn in the North Central region is planted with hybrid seed. The use of hybrid seed, plus more liberal fertilization and Improved cultural practices, has in creased corn yields 2 per cent In the past 20 years. SmaH Farms Can Be Operated Profitably Small farms can be made to yield larger returns by the use of land- build Ing and soil-conserving prac tices, says C. G. Fisher, Transylvania L'ounly demonstration fanner. A report of Mr. Fisher's accom- pU.shmeuts was given by T, K. Jones, farm management analyst at State College. Since 1935 Mr. Fisher has co operated with TVA and the North Carolina Extension Service in testing high analysis fertilizers, conserving *he soil, an'd following approved practices on his 56-acre farm In the Lake Toxaway community. He had been using 16 acres for cropland and eight acres for 'pasture, A larger acreage of better quality pasture was needed to support more livestock for a larger income. Five acres of the steeper cropland were shifted to pasture and seven acres more added by clearing woodland. Liberal applications of lime, phos phate, and other fertilizers have re sulted In much larger yields of both crops and pasture. Corn yields have risen from 40 to 85 bushels per acre and hay yields liave doubled. A Ihroo-year rotation la followed In which two-thirds of the cropland Is kept In soll-conserivlng crops each year. To utilize best his limited crop land and pasture acreage, Mr, Fisher turned to the production of purebred polled Herefords. In addition, seven brood sows were kept In'1947. Hogs were raised mostly on the range, with grain feeding Just 'before mar ket, 'By conserviug the soil, bulldhig up the land, and practicing sourid management principles, members >f the Fisher family have made tli ^ mrnmimmmammmmmmmmm farm pay and us a rosuH are enjoy ing a high standard of living.
