Farm Questions
And Answers
Question: How much fertilizer
should I use on my tobacco plant g
bed?
Answer: An application of 200
pounds of a 4-8-3 mixture should ?
be applied to each 100 square yards I
of bed. If a lower grade of fertili- J
zer is used it can be supplemented,
with, from 50 to 100 pounds of cot- |
ton seed meal provided the lneal'j
is thorourhly mixed with the soil.'
All fertilizer should be broadcast
and mixed thoroughly with the top

Question: Should the grain ratn
of my daiiy cows be increased
lrmg the winter months?
Answer: This depends upon the
lauty of hay and the present milk
oduction. Each animal should
ive about tsoree pounds of silage
icn day for each 100 pounds of
*e weight and all the legume hay
ie will consume in two feedings,
nen the quality of hay is poor,
ore grain will be required. Hower,
no matter what amount is
;ing fed, if the milk production
mains normal then the feeding
lould not be increased. Extension
irciaar 193 gives the grain ratns
fcr different breeds and
nounts of production. This cirdar

adjusting Contracts
Big Aid To Soil
In 1936 the agricultural adjustent
programs will retire close to
0,000 acres of land from the proiction
of cotton, tobacco, corn,
leat, rye, peanuts, and Irish potoes
in North Carolina.
This will give the farmers a good
iportunity to improve their land
th soil-building legumes, said
ios C. Blair, extension agronom;
at State College.
A great many farmers have been
ntent, year after year, to cultt,te
large areas of poor land and
cure distressingly poor yields i
den they could double or even
eble their production by adopt- 1
g a better system of farm ad- I
stment. Blair stated.
For instance, he pointed out, the
erage corn yield per acre in tins ir
ate in 1934 was only 20 bushels.
Almost any farmer can increase
is yield to 30 bushels by plowing P
ider one good crop of legumes, P
lair added, while farmers who y
ive been turning under legumes
gularly for several years think n
)thing of making 60 bushels of, o
irn to the acre. I
The average North Carolina I
eld of cotton in 1934 was 316 (
junds to the acre. But there are
icords of more than 600 pounds
: lint per acre raised by growers
ho are consistent users of le-;
imes. 12

ig of legumes by providing that a

There's one thing about > fruit
cake, quite aside from its inimitable
flavor, which makes it a popular
holiday food always. Long after
the needles have shed from the

Christmas gifts have ceased to be
new, there is usually some fruit

miracle oven of the m
cake left in the cake box and this
fruit cake can be trusted to bring
back those fond Christmas memories.
This is perhaps one of the
reasons why we religiously make
it every year and why no holiday j
season seems quite complete without
it.
Now the mixing of a fruit cake ;
adheres to the regular mixing pat- '
tern for all butter cakes; however, ;
there is a slight deviation in the !
baking. While butter cakes like
to be baked in a rather peppy, en- :
ergetic oven, fruit cakes like to
poke along in a tepid, more eaiy- :
going, lower-temperatured oven. '
And it's the maintaining of this '
low, constant, patient oven temperature
on which the fate of iraldng '
a successful fruit cake really tangs.
No Longer DifScul'
The baking of a fruit cine isn't
difficult anv Ionerer. how rver. be
cause the new automatic electric
range with its miracle oven has
removed all of the difficulty.
The miracle oven has its own
special, unique way of baking fruit
cake. The cake is placed in a cold, t
unpreheated oven; then the trusty 1
temperature control is set at the i
exact right baking temperature and 1
the oven switch is turned to BAKE, j 5
The minute the baking starts, 11
neasured electric heat units are re- <
nprovement crops. i
Such crops may be for soil-im- '
rovement or erosion prevention,
asturage, fallow, or they may be '
oung forest trees.
Such use of the retired acreage '
lay be in addition to the amount
f land normally used on the farm ,
3r these purposes, Blair stated.

said C. H. Brannon, extension en;omologist
at State College.
He suggested that 6-inch boards,
stood on their sides, be placed
iround the bed, with soil banked
iround their sides. The canvas is
stretched over the boards.
As an additional protection, he
said, a strip of ground about two
feet wide encircling the bed may
be planted to tobacco. If the toaacco
in the strip is kept poisoned
regularly, it will serve as a trap
for the beetles. Poles may be placed
around the margin of the trap.
Since flea beetles often wreak
serious damage to tobacco beds,
Brannon Is urging the growers to
take every precaution possible.
He also pointed out that napthalene

added, will hold the gas much longer
than a loosely constructed bed
and in them a more effective worn

Even if a grower does not plan t<

Says Red Squill Is
Best Rodent Poison
Red Squill is rought on rats. Bui
it does not kill domestic animal'
or poultry.
George B. Lay, rodent contro
leader of the U. S. bioligical survej
with headquarters at State College
said Red Squill is the most nearlj
fool-proof rat poison known to man
It usually drives the rodent:
underground to die .thereby preventing
unpleasant odors. It act:
slowly, Lay added, and does no;
scare off late coming rats with
the bodies of dead or dying rat:
near the bait.
The best time to put out Rec
Squill bait, Lay said, is during the
winter when rats and mice leave
the fields and gather in houses
outbuildings and barns.
Flue-cured Red Squill powder i:
better than the sun-cured type, he
pointed out. He recommended thai
poison be mixed with three different
ingredients to provide a varietj
Df bait.
A pound of poison to 15 pound:
of hamburger meat makes a good
bait, he said. One pound of the
powder may be mixed with 15 lbs
of cheap canned salmon or mackeral
and a pound of oat meal. Oi
mix the poison with 16 pounds oi
corn meal and enough water tc
make it crumbly.
Usually, he said, it helps to pu!
out some non-poisoned bait for ?
few days to get the rodents used tc
eating it. Then when the poisonec
bait is distributed, they will eat a
liberal portion of it.
Place the bait where other animals
cannot get at it, and where
the rats or mice are likely to run
