C., March 14?Wild plants, unknown weeds and diseases of crops and f'owers will" be identic J fied for fanners of North Carolina by the Department of Botany at 'State College. "This is one of the important ser vices that we try to give to the far mers of this state," says S. G. Leh man, plant pathologist of the North Carolina Experiment Station. "Many of these diseases and weed plants are active enemies which can be fought most effectively by knowing some thing of their habits and natures as shown by their life histories. We identify hundreds of specimens each year and give suggestions for control but we feci that ( there arc many folks who could make more extensive use of this service," Dr. Lehman states that his depart ment is not so keen for more work because the correct identification of I a plant or disease often takes con siderable time and efforts; yet in ad-j dition to rendering the service to farmers, the members of the depart-! ment also get some value from it be cause they arc given a wider acquain tance and a fuller knowledge of the, plants and diseases occurring in the State. 1 In sending in specimens, Dr. Leh- J man suggests that leaves be sent in smoothed out flat between the pages of a paper an(| with card board toi keep the leaves from being wrinkled. | Never wad them up in a; crumpled mass. Stems should be folded and wrapped or cut into convenient lengths and wrapped securely. Fruits like apples, cucumbers or cotton bolls, should be wrapped separately j and packed together in a box that will not be crushed in shipment. Roots should be washed free of dirtj an(j shipped wrapped in moist cloili or absorbent paper and then wrapped airain in dry paper or .sent to the college in a box. When whole plants are sent in, they should have the flowers or seeds if possible. .? | The specimens should be sent by mail with a letter explaining all con ditions and giving information that j may have a bearing on the in forma-j tion wanted. < i INTEREST IN DAIRYING INCREASES IN STATE; Raleigh, N. C., March, 14?North Carolina is more interested in the dairy cow than ever before. This fact is established through the report of dairy extension workers at State College covering activities of the year 1926. During that period 2,722 cows representing 108 herds were in cow testing associations an,} complete records were kept on the feed, production and profits of the cows. "The average production of those eows on test for as long as nine months was 6,632 pounds of milk. Some of the cows, 279 to be exact, were found to be unprofitable and were sold to the butcher," says John A. Arey, in charge of dairy extension work. "Members of the cow-testing organizations bought about 800 tons of grain feed cooperatively. One of| our greatest accomplishments, how-j ever, was the placing of 350 pure bred' ?bulls in the campaign put on by couu-1 ty agents last summer. Thirty six of the agents took part in this cam paign, and, in addition to placing 350 blooded animals, they caused 223 bulls to be butchered or otherwise removed from the herds." Mr. Arey states that three new creameries were opened 'n the State in 1926. These were the Randolph Creamery at Asheboro, the Franklin Creamery at Franklin and the Ben son Creamery at Benson. Production of milk for^sale at Greensboro and) Wilson was increased 300 gallons per day as a direct result of the activi ties of the specialists and the county t agents. For this milk, the producers! received $78 per day. Approximately 2,000,000 pounds of butter were man ufactured by the creameries of the State last year which was an increase of 19 percent over 1925. Other facts shown by Mr. Arey ?n his report were that 676,000 'pounds of milk was made into cheese,} 160 feed schools were held over the com mercial dairy section and 260 pure bred cows were placed by the dairy specialists. Many other cows were sold by breed associations and private dealers. Mr. Arey is of the opinion that more interest was shown in dairying during 1926 than in any previous year and that certain sec tions of the State are definitely head ed towards developing a large dairy industry. ? ? , I Some progressive poultry growers are relieving the local situation by disposing of their surplus eggs thru express and cooperative carlot ship wemtg. MORE FORAGE NEEDED FOR LIVESTOCK FEED Raleigh, N. C., March 14?An in creasing interest in livestock growing ?has developer a demand for more pastures and forage production in North Carolina. "While this livestock development has been largely in the form of a sideline to crop farming, still there i?. an . increasing interest note^" says Sam J. Kirby, pasture specialist at State College. "A result has been the steady and continual demand for larger quantities of home grown, nu ' tritious and inexpensive forage. Pas tures help to supply tfhis forage. In! fait, they serve a three fold purpose \ of food production, utilization of idle land an(] boil conseivation. We have found that pastures may be grown easily in all sections of the State. Much land now idle and not producing any revenue may be made to grow a t>ood supply of cheap for age through pasture seeding." In the piedmont and mountain re gions, Mr. Kirby finds that pastures are practical in stopping the erosion of land. Frequently, he states, there are areas which are too rough, too steep or too poorly drained to be used j for clean cultivated crops. Such areas i give good returns when planted to pastures. Then one should not forget i the beauty of the; farmstead which is I so greatly enhanced when a rough, bare hillside is covered with a green growing sod. ' )) Mr. Kirby finds that carpet grass, dallis grass and lespedeza are still the regulation mixtures lor the moist, fine sandy loam of the coastal reg ion. On the drier soils, Bermuda grass may be substituted for carpet grass. The carpet grass, dallis grass, and lespedeza mixtures, however, have high grazing capacity and not i withstanding the j>oor conditions for | growth last year, each acre of such | pasture carried two animals through the season. I For the fertile clays and silt loam | soils of the .piedmont region, >Mr. 1 Kirby finds that Kentucky blue grass ' (jrchard grass, meadow fescue, red | top, dallis grass^ tall meadow oat j grass, lespedeza, white and alsike cohers are all fine for pasture pur poses. On the less fertile soils of this section, Bermuda grass may be mixed with lespedeza for a dependable sod. COUNTY EXTENSION AGENTS SPEND ACTIVE YEAR Raleigh, X. C., Marcli 15?A sum mary of the reports made by the 170 farm and home agents employed in North Carolina under the supervision of State College show that these workers, both white and colored, spent a nio^t active year. ? The reports cover nearly every phase of home and farm activity and show that the agents have had an active part in promoting better fann ing methods an,] better rural life throughout the State. "We carried on extension pro grams of work in 2,207 communities in North Carolina last year says Dean i I. 0. Schanb. "It was impossible fori i our agents to do all of this work ; alone, however, and we owe a debt of gratitude to the 1,442 boys and girls and the 3,862 men and women, who acted as local leaders in this ac | tivitv. Our agents worked with the se I leaders and through them to get some of the excellent results secured. A large amount of extension work was done through 1,010 organized clubs among the young people and 1,071 elubs among the grown people. In these clubs were 4.948 hoys, 16,930 girls, 9,185v men and 18,159 women. An excellent proportion of the club members completed the work outlin ed for them and made final reports." Dean Schaub states that 401 bovs! j and 1,391 girls have been active club, members for four years or more. Last year 572 former club members enter ed college. In earning on the extension pro gram 65,975 visits to individual farms were made by the agents. In this 25, 179 different farms were visited. The home agents made 17,757 visits to 13, 243 different homes during the year. The agents made 182 exhibits at Community fairs and 159 exhibits at county fairs.
