WEATHER
The weather man and his unusual
tantrums has put many a
producer in a bad situation
this spring. He reminds me of!
a kid with the only piece of |
candy hungrily licking in the i
presence of a group of non- j
possessors. This old boy has
been very consistly wetting the
soil- PrilHainolu ollAtulm*
sun to shine a few days and
then about the time one can
plow he has to retreat to shelter.
It some of our weather
prophets will figure out a way
to handle this unruly fellow,
the world will be most grateful
and, I expect, financially
rewarding. All these rains and
hot days have given tobacco
\ plants a terrific appetite and
some have grown too large to
plant. The farmers that got off
to an early start are in good
standing.

PASTURES 1
Grass and legumes in perm- (
anent pastures are growing !
mighty fast these days. One
way to keep a good pasture (
in good shape year after year ,
is to keep the growth either
eaten down or mowed. Keep .
well fertilized and do not overgraze.
Properly fed, properly
grazed and regularly mowed (
should prolong the life of a j
pasture for years.

Producing High Yields And *
Top Quality Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes is the most
important commercial vegeta- a
ale crop grown in North Car- s
alina The state's average v
yield is 137 bushels per acre.
This yield is higher than for
most Southern States, but is
far lower than it should and
aould be.
Growing sweet potatoes is a
highly specialized job. Considerable
know-how is required
'o grow, handle, and market
them successfully. If the crop
is properly managed, it is a
lependable source of income
for growers in this area too.
For growers to produce high
yields that will meet consumer
demands. recommended steps t
>n production should be follow- i
sd. Porto Rico and Copper J
Skin Goldrush are the most r
widely accepted varieties. Se- p
lect your best tobacco type t
soil. Well drained sandy loam t
and silt loam are preferred s
with a pH of 5.8 to 6 2. To e
produce quality sweet pota- I
toes, follow a good rotation;
Pest to follow cotton or com. v
Don't plant sweet potatoes on I
!he same land over once out
jf every three years
Wire worms can be controlled
by broadcast soil treatments
using Chlordane 4 to 6 pounds.
Dr eieptacmor or Aldrin, 2 to t
3 pounds; or Dieldrin 1 to 2 I
pounds actual insecticides per <
acre give good control Broadcast
treatment means putting ,1
the insecticide over the com- 1
