ANSWER: This legume can be seeded any time during Sep tember, October, or November, but early sowing gives best re sults. Use about 20 pounds of seed to the acre and cover from two to three inches deep when sowing. Do not use rye with vetch where the crop is to be turned under as, the rye will reach the proper stage for turning about one month earlier than vetch. Oats or wheat may be used for this mixture. Hairy vetch also makes good hay in combination with small grains, increasing both the yield and pro tein content of the hay. QUESTION: What are the symptoms of birds infested with worms? ANSWER: In young birds there is an emaciated condition, the birds are lazy and inactive, and the face parts appear drawn. Where there is a severe infesta tion of tapeworms leg weaknesses may appear. The symptoms are relatively similar in adult birds. There is usually a noticeable de cline in egg production. The only sure way. however, of determin ing the presence of worms is to examine the intestinal tract of the birds. Control measures for the various interna.l parasites are con tained in Extension Circular No. 160 and copies of t-hls may be ob taiped free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State College. QUESTION: What is the best fertilizer to use for lawns? ANSWER: If the soil is defic ient- in organic matter liberal quantities of farm-yard manure or woods-mold should be added and thoroughly worked into the top two or three inches of soil be fore seeding. From five to six hundred pounds per acre of fertil izer containing 5 to 6 per cent ni trogen, 10 to 12 per cent' available phosphoric acid, and 4 to 6 per cent potash should then be broad cast and worked in the soil for Piedmont and Mountain sections. In the Coastal Plain section the fertilizer should be a 4-8-4 mix ture. FRAN K LINTON'S LIONS CELEBRATE WEDNESDAY Franklinton, Sept'. 14. ?
