Siould Plow Tobacco Every Ten Days After the roots get well fixed in the soil and begin growing, start cultivating the tobacco plants and keep up the cultivation every ten days leaving the row open to se cure good.drainage. Though the season has been unusually dry over most of North Carolina this spring and many formers have had a hard time getting their tobacco plants set, they should not rush cultivation .immediately after setting the plants but should allow them to ; begin growth. [ "This is usually from ten days to two weeks after transplanting," says E. Y. Floyd, extension : specialist in tobacco at State Col | lege. "In dry weather, it is more important for the plants to have time to get a good root system than wheu the season is moro favorable. For the first working *hile the plants are small, a three-tooth barrow may be used. As the plants grow, a sweep and turn plow had best be used.

Poultry Facts For Mid-Summer Days. Young chicks are rapidly de veloping into mature pullets and cockerels during|mid-summer and these, birds should be watched carefully so that best individ uals may be selected f#r breeding. "There is much difference in the rapidity of development of young birds," says Dr. B. F. Kaupp, head of the poultry de partment at State College. "Some of the chickens develop rapidly, some moderately and others slowly. Those that de velop rapidly should be selected for breeding purposes. The pul let that grows fast, with well de veloped head and neck, a blocky body, and strong legs, is the one that will begin to lay early and will lay late into the fall of noxt year. She will be the high pro ducer. Dr. Kaupp states that he re cently visited a farm in North Carolina where the owners were interested in developing a good flock of white leghorms. All the fine, strong, active birds were be ing put on the table because they were troublesome and the less active were saved for breeding. This will resnlt in a weak flock. Another observation was that out of 15 farmers keeping poultry, thirteen did not have comfortably poultry houses nor did they feed a laying mash. "If the farm flocks of North Carolina are ever to be put on a paying basis, the proper birds must be selected and the poor un profitable ont-8 sold for table use," says Dr. Kaupp. "The birds must have a modern house and be kept free from parasites sncli as scaly legs, lice, mites and intesti nal worms. They must also have something to eat besides just corn. A mixed grain ration and mash feed is needed. That these suggestions may bo obtained by poultry growers in a condensed and accurate form, the poultry department has prepared a series of bulletins on the sub ject. These publications may be had free of charge by writing to the collego for them. Drench The Lambs; Breed The Ewes. Stomach worms get in their deadly work with lambs during hot weather. During July, Au gust and September, these young animals should be drenched with the blue stone treatment every few weeks. The treatment, ac cording to Prof. R. S. Curtis of State College, consists of one per cent solution of copper sulphate thoroughly dissolved in water and given at the rate of 2 ounces per dose. This is approximately one third the amonnt in a common bottle of soda water and this can be used as a safe guide in drench ing. The older §heep should re ceive a somewhat larger dose but there is not the same danger of worms in the old sheep as in lambs, states Prof. Curtis. All the lambs for market should be sold early in July leaving only the ewe lambs which will be sav ed for future breeding. "Sheep growers should keep in mind that if they are to have an early lamb crop, the mature ewes mnst be bred in July," says Prof. Curtis. "Late lambs are never profitable. They fail to develop properly in hot weather and fin ish at a time when the market is low. Ewes should be bred now to lamb in Janurary and Febru ary, especially in eatern Carolina. Prof. Curtis states that any breed of sheep will breed early if properly handled. The lamb should be removed in early July and the ewe turned on fresh pasture with little grain fed to her. She will soon gain flesh and will breed easily. A ewe losing in weight will not breed, according to experimental tests. Yellow corn is better for feed than white corn, find the scien tists. It may not look as nice baked for cornbread but the yel low corn will produce larger gains more cheaply when fed to live stock. i _ The old wood stove should be put away for the summer and the oil stove cleaned up for hot weather use.

I j.^ or fh Carolina ia a Slate of great diversity of soil and climate with its vai ied topography from the crest of the Blue Ridge to the tidawpter bor ; dering the Atlantic Ocean. For this reason it is capable of a tremendous diversification of farm crops. It is believed that there are certain areas, particularly in the mountains, which could be made to grow flax profitably, thus furnishing a valuable money crop which would help stabalize the farming inaustry in these sections. Coupled with the water-power possi bilities of this section, factories for the manfacture of this product could be organized which would handle the product from the farms and thus turn out a finished prtduct without the cost of transporting the raw materials. In general, soils which produce a good crop of corn or a good crop of bar'.ey will produce a satisfactory cro>« of flax. This does not hold good for weedy soils, however, for both corn and barley will do better on weedy soils than will flax. Flax is not a crop for poor land and, while it does not require excessively fertile soil, yet reasonably #ood soil is necessary. Fairly heavy clay aijd silt loams are best. Sandy soils are •not suitable. Poorly drained soils are very objectionable. Land in a poor state of fertility,either natural ly so or on account of poor farming, should be avoided, i'car, marshes vary>in suitability. A v.cU drain ed marsh, thut had a good covering of sod just preceding the flax, will likely give good yields. Poorly drained marshes of any kind are uusuited. Even well drained marshes which have been used for cultivated crops are not satisfactory on account of weeds. Keadlly .Marketed There is a read} market for flax. When it is grown in strall amounts and in scattering areas where there are no local buyers, it is necessary for growers to ship either by local freight or combined shipments with their neighbors. Under such cir cumstances, the best method is to grow enough flax in the community to provide a minimum carload; about 1,000 bushels are required, and from 70 to 80 acres of average flax will produce that amount. Communities interested in trying flax should, where possible, work together sufficiently to produce such an acreage. Seed can be shipped to the nearest linseed oil mill. When Bmall quantities are produced, flax can be shipped in bags. Rarely Damaged by Frost Flax will withstand spring frosts practically as well as oats or barley. Only about 95 days are required to mature the crop and, consequently, it is ready to harvest before any dan ger of fall frost occurs, even in the mountain areas. This makes the crop particularly adapted to the western counties, where the seasons are short, and to local areas in other parts of the State where frost damage is like ly to occur. Not a Soil Hobber Flax does not exhaust the fertility of the soil any more than do such crops as oats, barley and rye. It has been thought that flax weaken ed the soil because it could not be grown continuously on the same land; and that in order to be ably certain of a good crop they must grow flax on the same field only once in seven years. The cause of this was not the injury that the flax did to the soil, but the SUFFER SO? (Jet Back Your Healtb As Other C.raliam Folks Have Done.

Weeds Cause Trouble Became flax plants are slender and have few leaves, they will not grow as well in weed infested soils as oats, barley, or-other sipallgrains. Clean soils are, very im portant. Excellent Nurse Crop There is no better nurse crop than flax. The plants are slender; the leaves narrow and small; and the branches are few and short. They shade the ground very little BO that the sunlight and air circulate freely. Consequently clovers, alfalfa, and timothy can be seeded with flax to good advantage. Commercial Fertilizers Karely Used While a productive soil, in a good state of fertility, is required for satisfactory yields of flax.yet it is not necessary to apply commercial fertilizers directly. It is best to use commercial fertilizers on other crops in the rotation and allow flax to benefit by the residual effect rather than by direct treatment. Good farming, involving proper ro tation, the growing of clovers or al falfa, and the liberal use of farm yard manure is the best way to maintain a soil capable of produc ing profitable yields of flax. But after all neither natural i advantages nor wise leadership! accounts for North Carolina's growth. Tho credit must go largely to the "get together" spirit of a people 99 percent native bom. The average Tar Heel owns his little farm, "lives at home and boards at the same place." North Carolina's devel opment is the triumph of a vigor ous middle class. The State never had the aristocratic tradi tion of either Virginia or South Carolina. To be sure, it had its planter class, the members of which cherishedltheir escutcheons and family^trees astthe Virginia and South Carolina grandees cherished theirs; but this favored 'company never established itself so firmly in a holy of holies as its blood bretheru to tho north and south. It was closer to the ground, and when the big cniash came.,tho aura which had sur rounded it was dissipated more quickly. The more complete domiuance of an upper class in Virgiuia had its advantages. It was favorable to leisure for the privileged few, and that leisure in turn was fav orable to the growth of culture. No unbiased observer of the life of these two neighbors, no stud ent of their history, can fail to find that North Carolina has beeu behind Virgiuia in polish, in the amenities of intercourse, iu de votion to things literary and artistic. The lesser N gap between high and low iu North Carolina iu ante-belluin days has beeu reflect ed in a greater readinessyto wel come new ideaw, a lack of rever ence for old allegiances and pro conceptions. True, the dead hand of the past seemed to have as firm a grip here as elsewhere in the first quarter of a century after AppoinattoT, but more re cent events havo proven that this was not so While South Carolina and Geor gia have been worshipping at the alter of such gods as blease and Tom Watson, .North Carolina has been heeding tho advice of Ay cock, Mclver, Alderman, and others with a passion for real de mocracy and democratic educa tion. Uses Since man first cultivated the soil, he has grown flax. Krom the stems of the plant he obtained fiber for fish lines and nets, for rop?s and twines, for threads and garments. From the seed he obtained oil for his house hold and feed for his cattle. Time has brought greater and more di verse uses cf flax so that its cultiva tion has continually increased. Although flax is still important as a source of fiber, yet it is now much more extensively used for its seed. The fifteen million acres grown in 1925 was the world's largest crop, and from it was obtained 150 million bushels of seed and one-half million tons of fiber. Nearly all of the flax which is grown for fiber U cultivated in Eu rope, although many countries grow for seed. In addition to being a large producer, the United States is the world's largest consumer of flax seed. Over sixteen million bushels are now annually imported to supple ment the twenty to thirty million bushels produced. Two distinct types of flax are grown: One is seed-flax and the other is fiber-flax The teed type has short stems and many branches; and is cultivated for seed only. The fiber type has long, slender stems, few branches, produces but little seed, and is grown primarily for fiber. Over 80 per cent of the ! world's crop is Beed flax.

Fertilizers and Drought Combine to Kill Cotton In a normal season whon spring showers distribute the lertilizers applied to field crops evenly throughout the soil, no trouble from the use of easily soluble ma terials occurs; but iu a year like this wheu the spring has been ex ceedingly dry, capillary water seems to concentrate the fertil izers near the surface of the soil and some damage has resulted. This is the result of a study made of cotton dying ou the Up per Coastal Plain Branch Station near Tarboro, reports L. G. Wil-, lis, soil chemist for the North Carolina Experiment Station. Mr.! Willis states that the liberal use of quickly available fertilizers on sandy soils has in many cases re suited iu loss of plants in seedling 1 stage so that the stand of crops is below normal. "From the evidence at hand," says Prof. Willis, "it appears that the use of nitrate of soda, kainit and muriate of potash has been responsible for the greater part of the damage, which acid phosphate, sulphate of potash, cottonseed meal and fish scrap have done little or no harm. An investigation of the cause of cot ton dying out at the Edgecombe farm has shown that the trouble has been due to the concentration of soluble nitrogeu in the surface soil." Prof. Willis states that it does not seem wise to recommend less fertilizer or lower grade materials Imeause of spring drouth, similar to the one this year, will probably ngl be repeated in some years. 11* believes, however, that the wrapping up of a heavy applica tion of fertilizer in a uartow strip directly under ibe seed is not safe It might be better too, he states, to use the nitrogenas a side application. Little damage was done in fields well supplied with organic matter. Better mix ing of the fertilizer in the soil aud a more constant effort to keep up the supply of organic matter will do much to overcome such trouble as cotton farmers have experienc ed this spring. If nitrate-of-soda in to give best retnrns as aside dresser, it should be applied early to both cotton and corn. Notice!
