SAVE ON FERTILIZERS; LOSE ON TOBACCO Raleigh, N. C., March22?Fertiliz- [ ers are cheap; lower in price than for ,-cveral years, but tobacco farmers had best consider quality of goods Ix'lore placing their ordes. "Let ine strongly urge the tobacco farmers of North Carolina to consid er the quality of their fertilizers this season," says E. Y. Floyd, extension tobacco specialist at State College. "Fertilizers are lower in price than in several years and the chances are that the quality will also be lower tor no one expects the manufacturers U> produce and sell plant food mix tures below cost. Tobacco is a crop that must have the best plant food_ , materials tq make quality weed. This material must be mixed in the right proportions so that it will feed the plant from the beginning until it is tilled out for ripening under average M-asonal conditions.'* Mr. Floyd states that a few dol lars saved in buying a ton of ferti ' lizer might cause a loss of several hundred dollars in the resulting crop, especially if cheap materials are used in the fertilizer. / Numbers of fertilizer demonstra tions with tobacco conducted by far mers on the sandy loam soils of North Carolina, for the past three years, show that the best results are secured when not over f)0 j>erccnt of the nitrogen comes from quickly so luble goods. Nitrate of soda and sul phate of ammonia arc satisfactory ftr this form of nitrogen. The or *. gaiiic sources that give best results are cottonseed meal, drie{j blood, fish meal, peruvian guano and tankage. It' half of the nitrogen is derived from two or morc of these organic Sources and the other half from the two quickly soluble sources, then good results may bo expected. With potash, best results are se cured when^half'of the material wines from muriate and half from sulphate. A grower should not hesi tate to use 5 or 6 percent potash if: it is mixed half and half, but Mr.j Floyd states that all the potash should not come from muriate of pot-: ash, /?> ? O SUBSCRIBE TO THE JOURNAL MOST COVER CROPS , t TURNBb TOO EARLY! Raleigh, N. C., March 22?For thc winter cover crop to add much nitro gen or hpngp to the soil, it must be allowed to make considerable growth. "To really build up our soiis by turning under winter cover 'crops, the crop should be allowed to make considerable growth," says Enos C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. "Thc crop will help prevent erosion and check leaching of plant food from the land by merely stay-J ing on |khe seal through the winter but then it merely saves what thc soil already contains. Only by making a large growth can the crop gather much nitrogen from the air or supply much humus to the soil." ' 1 Mr, Blair states that in eastern I N, 1 Carolina, it is thc custom to begin grazing fall-sown cover crop3 as aoon as they make some growth. The crops j arc then grazed until March or April and then comes the fever to get to plowing. The little three or four inch cover goes umler and the owner won ders why some folks sav that such a I * ? ? ? ? ? crop is a soil builder. One ifian was observe^ by Mr. Blair last April plowing under a two inch growth of crimson clover for cotton while the greater part of the farm had no such crop at all. It would have been better in Mr. Blair's opinion for this farmer to have plant ed cotton on a part of the land only and to save., the clover until it was in bloom. It could have' been turned j under-'for corn at that time and would have increased the yield at least 15 bushels per acre. All that is necessary to secure a' large quantity of humus from a cover crop is to take the livestock from the field and let the crop grow three or tour weeks before turning it un i der. A legume crop will gather more nitrogen during this time than it did ! all winter. This will also permit time 1 for the planting of corn, tobaeco, 1 soybeans or peanuts by May first to ! fifteenth. ' The proper time to turn, under I ! vetch or crimson clover is when the crops are in full bloom and rye when it is knee high.

' \ Raleigh, N. C., Macrh 22?Wormy peaches are caused by a beetle known as the curculio which lays its eggs <iti the,"fruit. The bt-etlc is slight^ larger than the boll weevil and a close - relative. (' Described by C. H., Brannon, exten sion entomologist at State College, this paacli curculio hibernates thru the winter as an adult under leaves and trash and emerges m spring just J as the poach buds arc opening. It feed. 0:1 the foliage until the yonng fruit is set, then it goes to work. The fruit is damaged in two ways. First the beetle eats a hole in which an ( egg is placed. This hole is sea'.e^ over and a crescent shaped1 *=car is made 1 jujst above the egg puncture. This ! prevents the young worm from being ! crushed when the pencil grows. Sec ond, the beetle damages fruit by ! feeding. These feeding punctures- are 1 not sealed. Mr. Brartnon states that this beetle is known as the million dollar bug among peach growers. It docs serious secondary, injury j also, especially during wet weather when disease spores get into the punctures and brown rot, especially, j is increased this/way. Little damage I is done by the (burcuiip from feeding : on the leaves. - 't There are two generation', of the I i I pest, states Mr. Brannon. Generally | by the time the second brood comes i along, the increase is enormous and j unless controlled by spraying, it may, wipe out an entire crop of late peach-' ! es such as Elbertas. The <gir- of the I insect hatch out in about three days ' in warm weather. Ea h female will | lay from 100 to 500 eggs and the lar vae or worms feed in the fruit for about 20 days.-They then <ro into the soil and emerge i? nbout 28 days as adults. Beetles of the first genera ! tion die during winter but the isec on,| generation enter hibernation and emerge in the spring to attack fruit. Mr. Brannon has publications and other information which toil how this pest is controlled and lie will be glad to send the information on request.
