Questions
Answered at State College
| QUESTION : Is it nriTwarj lo
j apply any fertilizer lo ?? l?l?
| crops after plant ing'.'
ANSWER: The quality of suc
culent vegetables is dependent
upon rapid growth and it is often
necessary to make a side applica
tion of quickly available nitrogen
! in order to maintaiu vigorous
j growth. The time of applying the
? side dressing will depend upon
i the vigor and maturity of the!
i crop and upon seasonal condi
tions. The grower must use his |
I own judgment as to when to ap
ply t-he side dressing.
! QUESTION: How soon after
| freshening should a rim In' given |
j a full ration?
' ANSWEK: It usually takes;
about three weeks for an animal
to be brought to full feed, but!
| this should be regulated by the
I physical condition of the cow.
j The first day after freshening the;
grain feed should be restricted to
bran mash. The .next four days, j
j the cow should be giveu a mixture |
| of wheat bran and ground oats.i
I equal parts. The animal may then,
' be started on the regular milking
ration and gradually brought to
full feed in three weeks. A rea
sonable amount of legume bay
and a small amount of silage may
be fed at> all times.
QUESTION : What is the right
j amount of cotton seed to plant
on one acre?
ANSWER: Do uot use less than
one and one-half bushels to the
acre of seed that germinates 80
per cent or better. With a lower
germination a higher rate of seed
should be used. Where the seed
have been treated wlt'h ehyl mer-'
cury chloride from four t<> live
pecks of seed is sufficient. In all
cases, the seed should be treated,
j before planting to prevent damp-'
' ing-off diseases and the saving in1
[ planting seed will more than pay
j for the cost of treating. See your
County Agent about t-hls treat-.

Spring work is in full swing on i
the farm, and April ushers in onej
of the busiest months of Wie ag-j
ricultural calendar. As reminders.
State College specialists offer the;
following suggestions, which, if!
accepted, should result in a more
bountiful harvest season.
H. R. Niswonger. Extension
horticulturist), advises the plant-j
ing of all types of home garden
crops. He lists the following 1
vegetables to be planted this j
month, and the number of days
after planting when they should'
be ready for use: Beets. 60 days; ;
beans. 40; carrots. 75; sweet!
corn. 60; cucumbers. 6 o ; canta-.

J. O. Kowell. Extension ento-i
molugist tells farmers to delay
planting corn unt'il May if they;
have been troubled in the past I
with stalk borers. However, he'
says that doubling the amount of
seed when planting corn in low
ground will usually allow for a
good stand despite root worms,
drill worms, and bud worms. In .
addition, Rowell advises that' in-!
jury by flea beetles that some- 1
times eat small round boles in|
vegetable seedlings and potato
leaves can be prevented by a Bor-:
deaux spray, or by dusting with
rotenone dust.
? The suggestion of E. Y. Floyd. i
AAA executive officer, is: Seel
your AAA committeeman or coun-i
ty farm agent immediately and
sign a farm plan before April 15
to qualify for Triple-A payments)
in 1940, if you have not already'
done so. The 15th Is the final i
date for signing Farm Plans forj
1940, and a grower must sign one.
of these plans if he wishes to re
ceive a payment at t-he end of the'
year.
F. M. Haig. professor of animal ?
husbandry, calls attention to the
need for care of young animals
born on the (arm. Sanitary quur
1 ters are doubly important tor the
young, and control of lice and
other parasite* will result' in more
profit from the dairy, beef cattle,
or swine herd, and the sheep
flock, he says.
John A. Arey, Extension dairy
man emphasizes the need for
roughage to carry the cows over
the winter period. He suggests
the growing of four tons of silage
and two tons of good hay for each
mature cow in the dairy herd.
Also, Mr. Arey advises that cows
should be kept off the permanent
pasture until the ground is firm
and the grass has made a good
growth.
H. VV. Taylor. Extension swine
specialist, says spring pigs should
be castrated when t?hey are about
five weeks of age. Soybeans plant
ed in rows and cultivated twice
will furnish excellent grazing for
swine from the time "the plants
are about la inches high until
frost, he says. One acre of beans
on good land will carry 15 to 20
shoats. provided t>hey are on a
full feed of corn and a good pro
tein supplement.
Lewis P. Watson, Extension
horticulturist, recommends that
sweet potatoes be bedded the first
week in April in order to have
plants tor setting about June 1.
Instead of selling the best pota
toes, lie continues, and using the
scrubs and culls for seed, build
up your own seed stock by saving
the best for seed. Select smooth,
well-shaped potatoes of desirable
color and free from disease.
Look for the blue tag of the
North Carolina Crop Improvement
Association if you are offered cer
tified cotton seed produced In this
State, says A. t). Stuart, seed spec
ialist. Many dealers have sold out
of certified cotton seed at this
time of the year, and farmers
should exercise caution in buying
any but the best slock available.
Where germination of seed is low.
enough extra seed should be plan
ted to allow for the failure of the
poor seed to come up.
