Answers To Timely
Farm Questions

tures are r. darted to diffi rent sec
tions of th . Slate?
AXSWEIi: For tiie coastal
plain, c mixture of 2.0 pounds of
Italian rye g"a.-s, ".3 of a pound of
white clove -, and Bermu ia gross
root cuttings is recommended. For
the piedmont and mountain sec
tions, a mixture of 1.3 pounds of
Kentucky blue grass, 0.7 pounds
of redtop, and 1.3 pounds of Ital
ian rye grass is recommended.

l.ili." feet of lawn.
QUESTION: What is the na
ture of, and the control for, the
I list which often attacks leaves and
fruit of apples?
ANSWER: Rust is one of the
o:idest diseases affecting tiie ap
ple. The parasite which causes
this disease spends part of its life
cycle on the apple pa:t on the com
mon ri d cedar tree. The presence
of both of these plants is essen
tial to the exi.-tence of the rust pit
irsit'.j. Elimination of the red ce
dar trees for a distance of one
half mile or more from the orchard
is the only practical method of
controlling apple rust.

QUESTION: When should beef!
cattle be bread?
ANSWER: It h advisable to j
allow the bull to run with the cow I
ner.i in .May, June ana .July, am:
the calves will all arrive in Febru
aiy, March, and April the follow
ing year. There arc several ad
vantages for having the calves
at this time of the year. Dry cows
can be much more easily and chea
ply wintered than cows nursing
calves. Winter and early sprins
calves usually grow off faster and
make better animals than calves
dropped in the summer and fall.
Calves dropped close together in
the spring of the year can all be
weaned at the same time. Their
uniform ages makes it possible to
pasture, house, and feed them together.
