They are learning that success ful farming is a year-round oc cupation, reported W. C. Daven port, Hertford county negro farm ‘agent of the State college exten sion service. “Since _ farming is their only meana of livelihood,” he stated, |.“we are anxious for them to make the most of it by building up their eland and balancing their farming programs." At present, he said, many of the farmers are planting rye, vetch, and Austrian winter peas as wint . er cover crops to protect and build up. the soil. Some of the crops will be har vested for feed, having first served to. hold the soil, in place- during the winter. Others will be plowed under to add nitrogen and organic matter to the soil. U. S. Hargrove, negro farmer in the Manney’s Neck section, re cently purchased his farm with the aid of a government loan. He has decided that the only way he can meet his payments is to build up the soil so that it will be more productive. So he told Davenport that he had set aside a large acreage to be seeded to winter legumes which will be turned under next spring. He expects .this, to increase the soft fertility so that it will produce greater yields of cash crops next summer. “And if he uses good seed, puts on a little fertilizer, and cultivates property, he should find no trouble in making more than enough to meet his payments,” Davenport pointed out. Meanwhile, Hargrove is develop ing his farming program on a self sufficiency basis so he will not have to spend money for things that can be produced on the farm. Sweet Potatoes Harvested With New Method Now College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 5.—file methods used in harvest ing and storing sweet potatoes are all important in determining how well the potatoes will keep in storage until they are ready for market. L. P. Watson, extension horti culturist at State college, has pointed out the following sug gestions for success in digging and handling the potatoes. — First, clean out the storage house and all boxes or baskets in which the potatoes are placed. Then allow fnem to air for several days. Sweet potatoes are sensitive to cold weather and should not be left in the ground until the temp erature approaches freezing. Don’t wait until frost has killed the vines. If frost does kill the vines, cut them off and dig the potatoes at Re careful not to cut or bruise the potatoes in digging or storing, as this decreases their market Value and also increases their sus ceptibility to disease. A large two-horse turn plow with a rolling coulter attached to the beam and adjusted so as not to cut the potatoes is a good im plement for digging. Or the rows may be barred off and a “middle buster*1 used satisfactorily. In gathering up the potatoes, don’t throw them from one row to another. Three rows may be piled together, since potatoes from the two outside rows may be laid over in the middle. row without throwing. Grading can he done more easily it the different grades are placed in separate piles when they are niched up. Leave the culls in the field. Allow the potatoes to remain. m the held long enough for the sur face to dry, as this tends to free the roots from clinging soil and to avoid tarrying excess moistnre into the storage house. Do not fill the hampers or crates too full, a they are too full, tie potatoes will bs bruised and scarred in hauling and in betng Stacked in the house CATAWBA CAW CMJRS WIN 12 PREMIUMS Newton, Oct. 12.—Calf club members of Catawba county won 12 premiums out of. the 24 offered for individuals in the 4-H group at the district ft* last week, and lacked only one dollar of winning half of the money, reports County Agent Earl Brintnajt.

Head Question: How can I keep worms and weevils out of my stored beans and peas? Answer: To prevent these pests, the beans or peas should be treated with carbon disulphid. Fill a water tight barrel or some other con tainer that can be made air tight to within a few inches of the top with the seed. One-half cupful of cnvbo:: disulphid should then he pouted directly on the seed and the container covered with a double thickness of heavy wrapping pap er. l eu tightly around the top. leave the container for at least two days after which examine the seed and, if any insects are still active repeat the treatment. The container must be kept covered with the paper or insects will re infest the seed. The treatment will not injure the seed for planting, feed or food. Each barrel of bears or peas should be given the sane treatment. Question: Will the breeding males 1 used in my poultry- flock last year be suitable for use this year? Answer: This, of course, will depend upon their vigor ar.d vitality. If they are vigorous and in pood vitality they may be usee, but' the number of females Fine Cotton Crop In' California Is Being Developed California’s cotton production, though relatively small in compari son with that of the South, may j liave to be reckoned with in the [future if it continues to increase at its present rate. A conservative estimate places the cotton crop .n California at 427,000 bales this war, nearly double the 1935 yield of 239,000 bales. This jump was caused in the main because mere was planted, but tbe average per acre also show ed a gain,, mounting from 524 to 666 pounds per acre. The average for the United States is 179 pour.is to the acre. California cotton grow ers have doubled their yield per acre in the last ten years. Cot ten grown in California is limited by state statute to the , Acala variety. which is of 1% inch staple, veiy white, with a high uniformity of staple and less than 13 per; cen: wastage; it usually com mands a premium of several cents a pound over ordinary grades. The bulk of it goes into export markets, where, especially in France (and Italy, it is woven into finer grades of cloth competi tive with linen. Virtually all the cotton grown in tho state (most iy in tho San Joaquin valley) is under irrigation, in a region of low humidity whioh prevents tho spread hell wnrll. should be reduced to each male. It must also be remembered that if these birds are mated back on their progeny, in breeding is taking place and this should be carried out only on a carefully planned basis. In either case the birds should have been separated from the females after the last breeding season and, if this practice was not followed it would be well to select new males for breeding. Question: Is it necessary to apply fertilizer to crops seeded for winter hay after com and cotton? Answer: It is customary in many sections to sow fall crops after corn, cotton or tobacco without fertilization under the supposition that there is enough fertilizer left from the spring application for these fall crops. It is true that some of the fertilizer is still in the soil, but it is also true that the crop will respond well to a special application. For Piedmont and Mountain soils an application of 400 pounds o fa 10-4-4 mixutre is recommended and for Coastal Plain soils 400 pounds of an 8-4-4 mixture. However, a good coat of stable manure may be applied dur ing the winter instead of the com I mercial fertilizer. Sweet Potatoes Should Be Dug Before 1st Frost Don’t leave sweet potatoes 5n the ground until frost nips them, warns L. P. Watson, extension horticulturist at State college. They are sensitive to cold and will be damaged by frosty weather, he stated. Cold-damaged potatoes will not keep as well as those which are protected. If an unexpected frost should kill the vines, he added, cut them off and dig the potatoes at once. Watson also urged growers to be careful not to bruise or cut the potatoes in digging, hauling or storing. Blemishes decrease their market value and increase their susceptibility to disease. < A large two-horse turn plow with a rolling coulter attached to the beam and adjusted so as not to cut the potatoes is a good im plement for digging. Or a “middle buster” may be used if the rows are barred off* Don’t throw potatoes from one row to another. Three rows may be piled together, since potatoes from the two outside rows may be laid over in the middle row with out throwing. When picking up the tubers, place the different grades in separate piles. This saves trouble later. Leave the culls in the held. Allow the potatoes to remain in the field long enough for the sur face to dry so that the roots will be freed from clinging, wfl, TWi / also avoids carrying excess mois ture into the storage house. Do not fill hampers or crates too f«4L Overfilled containers' may cause the. potatoes to be mashed or ’^bruised in transportation or storage. Always clean out storage houses and containers before putting in potatoes. It is also good to let the storage room and basket® air for a few days after they are cleaned. President Gives True Picture Of Present Condition (Continued from Page 1) a series of laughs, when he in jected the reference to Janus into his address. Standing bareheaded on the flag shrouded platform, banking his fist and shaking Jiis head in em phasis, the Chief Executive assert ed “when Republican leaders speak out here, they proclaim their sym pathy with all these western pro jects and promise you more and more of theni. They cost money; they cost a lot of money. “But when they speak to audi ences in the East, they proclaim that they are going to cut govern ment expenditures to the bone. “If you will look in your history books, you will find that about 2,000 years ago there was an old Roman god named Janus. Janus had. two faces. He faced both ways. He had two mouths. I need not explain that parable any fur ther.” Immediately he asked whether his listeners were willing to turn America over to those “who in past years shut their eyes to the problems of this nation.” N. C. 4-H Clubs Have Interesting Exhibit At Fair College Station, Raleigh, Oct. 12.—The greater number of 4-H exhibits at the State fair this week reflect the growth of 4-H club work in North Carolina, according to L. R. Harril, 4-H club leader at State college. This department, representing the best efforts of some 30,000 club boys and girls, is by far the largest and best ever displayed at a fair in this state, Harrill point ed out. The county group exhibits of 4-H club calves from 18 counties, together with the individual ex hibits of dairy and beef calves, are attracting a great deal of atten tion. Various phases of the 4-H club program as conducted in different counties are illustrated in booths in the main exhibit halL Wilson county, for example, is showing home beautification as a club pro ject. Cleveland county is showing club work in home improvement, and Stanly county is featuring handicraft and recreation. Other booths display exhibits of club girls competing for prizes offered for the best five jars of canned fruit, the 4-H girl’s com plete costume, furniture for a farm girl’s bedroom! and a club girl’s treatment of windows/' On the other side of the exhibit hall is the largest 4-H com dis play ever presented in the state. The entries came from as far west as Haywood county and as far east as Pasquotank county. The judging contests Friday J morning will give club members a chance to show how well tjfcey have learned to appraise seed, poultry, and livestock. Judging awards will be presented Friday evening at a banquet to be held in the State college dining hall.
