FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Question: When should I put my
pullets in the laying house?
Answer: Prof. Roy Dearstyne of
State college says that during the
extremely hot weather it is best
to keep the pullets on range until
ten per cent production is reached,
unless the laying house is cool and
well ventilated. He also suggests
that the laying house and all
equipment be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected before the move is
made. The house should also be
well littered and ample feeding
space and water containers be pro
vided. For several days it may be
necessary to visit the house in the
evening and place the pulltes on
the roosts.
Question: When is the best time
to plant oats?
Answer: Oats and barley in the
Piedmont should be planted be
tween October 1 and 25 for best
yields; in the Mountains, Septem
ber 20 to October 10; and in the
Coastal Plain, October 10 to 30.
Experiments at Statesville show an
average gain of 38.4 more bushels
of oats per acre and 13.6 more
bushels of barley when the crops
are seeded on October 1 as com
pared with November 15, with
the fertilization the same in both
cases. North Carolina farmers are
making a special effort to seed all
small grains at the right time. Oat
and barley yields this year are al
most one-third better than the ten
year average. The same is true of
wheat.
Question: What are the best im
plements for cultivating corn?
Answer: Barring off corn with a
turn plow, 4 to 5 inches deep and
close to the plant, destroys the
surface roots of the corn. State
college agronomists suggest shal
low cultivation of the crop until '
the plants are 2li> feet tall, and
then no more cultivation. The best (
implements to use are weeders, (
spike-tooth section harrows, spring ,
tooth harrows, the spike tooth cul
tivator, and other such implements
for shallow cultivation. ,

Timely Hints For
Farm Homemakers
By RUTH CURRENT
Although there are many types
of hair and scalp conditfons, cer
tain hair grooming habits are help
ful to anyone. Most important of
all, and perhaps the most neglect
ed, is a daily brushing. Five min
utes at night is all that is needed.
Use a stiff brush to make long
rigorous strokes. Don’t be afraid
of disturbing a wave or rearrang
ing a part.
Brushing is important for sev
eral reasons. First, it helps to re
move dirt and dust accumulated in
he hair during the day. Second,
t stimulates the nerves and
jlands. If the oil glands are undcr
octive. the stimulation to greater
octivity helps to keep the hair
’rom becoming too dry. If the
?lands are overactive and dis
charging too much oil, brushing
oelps to distribute the oil more
'venly over the hair and prevents
oil from becoming clogged at the
oots.
To some persons, voice is a great
isset—to others it is a definite
landicap. But in most cases, an
unpleasant speaking voice is the
result of bad habits, such as speak
ing from the throat in a high, thin
voice, rather than from the dia
phragm. Effort spent in breathing
control and in keeping the voice
pitched low, will often bring all
the improvement which is needed.
Another common mistake, espe
cially for teen-agers, is the tenden
cy to slur words together and to be
lazy about enunciating properly.
Speaking slowly, and being con
scious of enunciating properly, is
probably the only practice neces
sary for correction of this bad
habit.
Many persons have a tendency to
speak with a nasal quality which
is very unpleasant to the ears. Just
as in changing the pitch of the
speaking tone, the best way to im
prove a nasal voice is to practice
breathing from the diaphragm in
order to bring the more natural
voice out rich and full.

iature rubber life raft one of these
days. Between times, the design

goes out driving. In a pinch it
will serve as his bed. It can be de

package when not in use.
