Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION: How long does it
take to cure sweet potatoes?
ANSWER: Proper curing us
ually requires about two weeks
but the individual barns may vary
from one to two days from this
figure. The temperature for cur
ing shouNJ~ftnge from 80 to 85
degrees and the sweets should be
watched for sprouts as when these
appear, the potatoes are cured.
After curing the temperature
should be maintained at 50 de
grees and should never go below
40 degrees during the storage,
period.
QUESTION: What, is the best
grain or scratch feed for poultry?
ANSWER: There are too many
good mixtures that give economi
cal returns to say which is the
best, but the most common grain
mixture used in North Carolina is
composed of sixty per cent' yellow
corn and forty per cent wheat.
However, this grain ration should
be largely governed by what Is
grown on the farm and the cost
of the grains which must be pur
chased to make the desired ration.
Heavy bat-ley or heavy oats may
-
be substituted (or a part o ( the
corn and wheat in the grain ra
tion but rye should not be used
as this is a poor grain (or poultry.
Better to sell the rye and buy
some other grain such as corn,
wheat, oats or barley.
QUESTION: Does it pay to put'
(ertilizer on pasture land?
ANSWER: Recent experiments
have shown a remarkable increase
in grazing (rom the use o( fertili
zers when applied to new pastures.
The (ertilizer mixture is usually
the same as (or "corn in the locali
ty and on new pastures, t'he ap
plication may be harrowed in be
fore seeding or drilled in with the
seed. After the first application,
the pastures should be top dressed
about the first o( March each year.
For very acid soils an application

limestone to the acre will be ben

Gin Your Cotton for Better
Returns and Better Seed
This season I am using my old gin for the ex
clusive purpose of ginning Coker Cotton so the
seed can be saved for next year, without the
possibility of mixing.
This will leave my new gin outfit to handle the
Regular Cotton, and gives me opportunity to give
you the quickest and most satisfactory service.
Both gins have been overhauled and put in
perfect shape to give you better service. My
charges are reasonable and I will look after your v
Cotton and see that it gets best attention. I am
prepared to haul your cotton to gin at reasonable
prices and will deliver it to the cotton yard if
. you wish.
Bring your cotton on to my gin or call me and
I will send for it. .V ?
The best of service is assured ytrn.
