Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION: Can oats be sowed
in cotton anytime before picking?
ANSWER: Yes, oats may be
Bown in cotton at the last cultiva
tion by using a narrow drill or by
sowing broadcast. The growing
cotton will furnish shade for the
oats until the leaves fall when the
oats will be sufficiently large to
make a good growth for grazing
in the late fall or early spring.
The cotton stalks should be cut as
soon as picking is completed as
they will then protect the oats
front wint?r killing. If not grazed
the oats may be cut for hay or
grain or turned under for soil im
provement.
QUESTION: Do laying birds
change appearance when going in
to a molt?
ANSWER: When the laying
bird goes into a molt the comb
and wattles lose t-heir bright red
color and become pale and shriv
elled more and more as the egg
production lessens. This is the on
ly change to the eye, but an ex
animation of the bird will show a
narrow'' spread between the pelvic
bones and the skin on the abdo-1;
men will feel t'hick and hard when
laying ceases. The most accurate |
indication of whether or not ?
hen is laying is the appearance of)
the vent. In the laying bird the ;
vent is large, moist, and dilated1
while in the non-layer io becomes'
small and dry.
QUESTION: Is it necessary to!
use fertilizer on fall crops seeded
after tobacco, corn, or cotton?
ANSWER: In many sections I
the practice has been not to use
fertilizer on such crops in t'he be
lief that enough is left from the
spring application for these crops.
This is true to some extent, but
except on very fertile soils, a spe
cial applicat-ion will more than re
pay the cost of the extra fertili- '
zer. An applfcation of 400 pounds j
of a 10-4-4 mixture is recommen
ded for ihe Piedmont and Moun
tain soils and the same amount of
an 8-4-4 for Coastal Plain soils.
Where a good coat of stable ma
nure is applied during tTie fall or
winter the commercial fertilizer
may be left off.
