Dual Planning
Helps The Farm
Joint Plans Of Man And
Wife Used As Basis For
Making Improvements On
The Farm Home And
Grounds
Eighty pei- cent of all the home
demonstration work planned in
the South is done in the farm
home.
With the assistance the farm
family of the South is getting
from home and farm agents,
there is an excellent opportunity
to develop plans for the whole
farmstead, including the home
grounds front and back as well
as the field crops, pastures and
other farm operations.
If women as partners with
their husbands in all plans for a
better farmstead, could roughly
sketch the house, its base
plantings, other shrubs, walks
and trees could also show where
the poultry yard, cow lot, pig
pen and bam are now placed in
regard to sanitary procedure; the
garden for convenience to the
hell so wile, and wfiat cnangos
should be made, they would help
give a picture of what the farm
really is. This picture might
speak very satisfactory and also
very loudly of what that
farmstead lacks in its provisions
for satisfactory living.
Two spinisters were discussing
men
"Which would you desire most
in a husband brains, wealth or
appearance ?" asked one.
"Appearance," snapped the other,
" and the sooner the better."

ASSISTANT |f
SPECIALIST :
I l ^y. ^ ^ I
New Assistant
Knows Tobacco
Lloyd T. Weeks, Assistant j
Tobacco Specialist At IN.
C. State College, Grew Up
On Tobacco Farm In
Wake County
Lloyd T. Weeks, who grew up
on a tobacco farm near Varina
in Wake county, has been assistant
tobacco specialist for the
State College extension service.
On his father's 165-acre farm
where tobacco was the main cash
crop, he early became familiar
with the problems of the tobacco
grower, said Dean, I. O. Schaub,
diiector of the extension service.
Then ho studied agriculture at
Slate College, from which he was
graduated in 1934. After teaching
vocational agriculture for 18
months, he returned to the farm
for a year.
In January of this year he
was appointed assistant farm
agent in Martin county, where he j
did outstanding work, the dean1
continued.
Since E. Y. Floyd, extension to-i
bacco specialist, has been placed
in charge <? the State's agricultural
conservation program, he
has been unable to give full time
to his tobacco work, and the ser- j
vices of an assistant specialist
were found imperative.
So Weeks was secured to take
over the work, the dean said, as \
lie is particularly well qualified
to ssisl growers with their big- !
gest cash crop which is also the >
most difficult to raise and har- '
. vet. '
Tobacco Suffers j

This Condition Has Prevail- j
ed In Some Sections Of "

son; Little In This Reg- ~
ion :
Sun blister damage to North
Carolina tobacco fields this sum- :
J mer is "the worst in some sec- i
tions I've ever seen", Dr. R. F. J
Poole, of Slate College, said recently.
r
( This trouble, sometimes called ?
sun scald, is usually the result of }
hot sunshine on young plants that
have been affected with various ?
root rot diseases, he added.
In some fields, five to six per- !
cent, of the leaves will be lost
as a result of blistering, it is seli- t
mated. i
Young leaves sometimes droop )
and lake on a blackened appear- 1
ance. Other leaves may develop t
blistered, irregular spots near the i
mid rib and between the veins. }
These spots, tan to brown in '
color, are composed of dead tis- T
sue. Sometimes the dead tissue i
ir blown out, Dr. Poole said, and '
deformed. IT.
However, he continued, he has |
not seen any case where sun i
l scald has been responsible for the i
death of a whole plant.
This trouble occurs every year, v
he said, but heretofore it has J
been of a minor nature, as was J
the case when first reported dur- Ti
ing a hot spell about the middle ~
of June. 4
But during the past ten days or j
so Dr. Poole has received reports '
from over the State that indicate "S
the disease is worse than ever i
before.
While there is no cure known 1
for sun blister, early planting i
and crop rotation to avoid di- i
seases in infected soil will reduce .1
the amount of sun injury.
| Dr. Poole expressed belief that
the serious extent of sun blister i
this summer is due largely to the j
fact that a good part of the crop ;
was planted later than usual. i.
