Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College QUESTION: How soon aftnr plowing in tobacco stalks can seed for the succeeding crop he planted? ANSWER: Any green .material, I such as cowpeas, crimson clover, j tobacco stalks, or almost any other crop will ferment the soil j for abput two weeks after being! turned under. This fermentation j ?will affect the germination of any seed planted during that time. j However, after this period there ?will be no further ill effects. The turning under of this organic ! matter will, in most cases, give I an increase in yield of the lol- ! lowing crop, especially where the. crop turned is a legume. QUESTION': What can I do to cure my young laying hens of 1 colds? ANSWER: This condition is usually caused by poor ventila tion. overcrowding, . improper feeding, or parasitic infestation which weakens the birds and makes them susceptible to colds. All birds showing sumptonfs of colds should be isolated and the. cause found and corrected. The house should be cleaned and dis infected and the entire flock giv en Epsom salts at the rate of one pound to each four gallons of drinking water. Keep a good germicide in the drinking water while th?ye is evidence of the trouble. Cod liver tfii or other fish oil with a high vitamin A content should be added to one j of the daily grain feedings. Where the disease is well estab lished it is not economical to treat individuals and these should be destroyed. QUESTION: Should pea vinos be turned when they are green or is it best to wait until they are dead? ANSWER: Contraryto popu lar belief, there is practically no difference in the ultimate value of a legume crop whether it is turned under green or after it is dead. However, a crop turned un- j der green will decay more quick ly and therefore become avail able as plant food iu less time than one that Is allowed to ripen. Where the peas are to be follow ed by corn or cotton next year, they should be allowed to mature and die and then be turned in the late fall. Otherwise the vin- , es may be turned under when green, provided the following crop is not seeded too early. After 12 years of experiments on developing varieties of toma toes resistant to fusarlum wilt, the Illinois Experiment Station , has released four resistant varie ties for field use.

SAVE LESPEDEZA SEED Increase in the acreage of erosion-resisting crops can be as- i sured by farmers in this section if they will begin making plans for harvesting lespedeza seed ! aow, according to William E. Adams, Assistant Agronomist of the Soil Conservation Service in the Tar River Soil Conservation District, Franklin County Work Unit, near Franklinton. Some farmers already have made arrangements, its is point 3d out, for harvesting lespedeza seed upon a share basis with nearby owners of combines. Oth 3rs possessing sm?U lespedeza seed patches are planning to use seed pans or making arrange ments to mow and thresh their ] lespedeza when matured. While Korean lespedeza is the only species of this legume which matures before the first frost, the importance of gathering every possible ounce of seed in arder to Increase acreages of this soil-conserving crop should be stressed and farmers should not Jelay in completing plans for harvesting their lespedeza seed, according to Adams. By sowing lespedeza seed on plantings of small grain next spring, it is further pointed out, acreages of the legume will be materially increased. World wheat supplies in 1914 totaled 3,500,000,000 bushels, as compared with an estimated 3, 300,000,000 bushels this year* according to a Triple-A announ cement.
