Since our public schools will not advance
beyond the leadership of our national and local
leaders, I believe the character of the candidate
should be considered. My public activities are not
as numerous as some, however, I believe; my age

The Farming Guide
(By A. S. KNOWLES, County Agent)
More than one-third of the
usual Brunswick County corn
acres have been diverted to the
grain program for 1962. Those
planting corn can realize much
more by fertilizing and managing
those acres in a manner that will
produce 100 bushels per acre or
more.
It will take 30 bushels per acre
to break even with com valued
at $1.12 per bushel. Using this
same value, a 75 bushel yield will
return a net of $38 a 100 bushel
yield will net $59.50, and a 125
bushel yield will net $81. An ad
ditional amount of money can be
earned when the com is stored on
the farm in metal bins.
Brunswick County farmers need
corn to feed hogs and beef cat
tle. Big yields can be produced
by planting one of the adopted
hybrids, applying 350 pounds of
fertilizer at planting time, side
dressing with 100 to 125 pounds
of nitrogen at lay-by time, and
control weeds and insects by soil
treatment. Vrey little cultivation

is needed when weeds and grass
are controlled.
If wireworms are a problem,
and you have to reset, put in
transplanting water 4 ounces of
25 percent Diazinon E. C. to 50
gallons water. This is a new ma
terial, but is giving good control
so far.
Do you need quick grazing? If
you do, the answer may be met
by planting millet or sudangrass.
You can plant either Starr or
Gahi I variety at the rate of 6
to 10 pounds of seed per acre in
rows. It will require 20 to 25
pounds if broadcast. Fertilize with
400 pounds of 8-8-8 at planting
time, and at lay-by time use 30
to 60 pounds of nitrogen when 6
inches high and again after each
grazing. Rotate grazing from field
to field.

as N. C. State College in Raleigh.
had its beginning when President
Lincoln signed a bill creating the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
on May 15, 1862. During the past
100 years American Agriculture
has experienced unusual and out
standing growth. When the bill
was signed one farmer was able
to produce enough food and fiber
for five people. Now one worker
can produce enough for 26 people.
The farm efficiency is still surg

Spraying or dusting to protect
plants from the ravages of insect
and disease pests is the best in
surance you have against dam
age.
A good slogan: use the right
materials, at the right time, prop
erly mixed; and do a thorough
job of covering all parts of the
plant, especially the undersides of
the leaves to control sucking in
sects such as aphids, red spiders
and lace bugs.
All insects have a life history
or cycle. That is, they undergo
changes which may occur in four
stages: Egg, larva, pupa and
adult. Or, in three stages: Egg,
nymph and adult. The larva and

KINDNESS
The habit of saying kind words reacts
on the heart and makes it kinder. It
crowds out, steadily and surely, bit
terness and sarcasm, slander and
cynicism, and substitutes graciousness
and charm. There is a great power
in kind words, and there is bound
less opportunity for their use in each
life. “And be ye kind one to anoth
er, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ’s
sake hath forgiven you." (Eph. 4:32)

the nymph stages are usually the
most destructive although the
adult stage may also be destruc
tive.
In the case of fungus diseases,
it is necessary to keep the plants
protected at all times. These dis
eases, represented by various leaf
spots of roses, apples and many
other plants, produce spores.
These spores germinate and at
tack the plant tissues. If the leaf
is protected by a fungicide the
spores are killed before they have
a chance to enter the tissues.
Once the diseases gain entrance,
they are more difficult to con
trol.
These simple examples should
serve to show how important it
is to keep your plants protected
at all times. Many people seem to
think that one or two spraying
during the growing season are all
that are necessary. On the con
trary, this battle against insects
and diseases is never-ending. For
this reason, it is best to follow a
regular spray program for all of
your ornamentals, fruits and
vegetables.
There are many effective spray
chemicals available—some for
sucking insects, other for insects
that chew food and some com
bination materials which are ef
fective against both types.
Your county agent will have a
supply of spray calendars for the
different crops or can get them
for you.
