Of Agriculture Told By County Agent DEFOLIATION OF COTTON ...... on Williams Farm SKIPPED ROW makes cultivation of tobacco easier on farm of L. B. Hobgood at Churchill. The changing story of farin-i tng in War-en County is told this week by County Agent Frank Reams with words and pictures. Mechanization continues to grow in the county as the trac tor has replaced the mule, dusters and sprayers and irri gation are becoming a regular part of farming, and scientific methods are taking the place of the old rule-of-thumb ways. Reams touches on the prac tice of skipping a row in both tobacco and cotton to pern.it the wider use of tractors as shown in the pictures of Mar vin King of Paschall and L. B. Hobgood of Churchill: King is shown spraying his cotton for boll weevil control. Reams says that even though present regulations do not per mit this tractor row as a de duction, it does afford a con venient way to spray the cot ton. Hobgood not- only uses the vacant 9th row in his tobacco field for a truck row but it also serves conveniently for laying irrigation pipe. Reams points out that a lot of terri tory can be covered in spray ing 8 rows per round and at the same time affords multiple use of farm equipment. Another program in the -hanging agriculture picture is the defoliation of cotton. Reams says that this is im portant when the loaves re main green and hang on too late in the fall, which causes shade and the slow opening of bowls. Among farmers who have defoliated cotton is Frederick Williams of Inez, large cotton farmer and ginner. Reams .? cli.-. . -vvxt- -.

SKIPPED ROW on Marvin King farm at Paschall leaves room for tractor operation. Better cultural practices increase tobacco yields in Warren County. In top picture W. D.

In lower picture Mar tin and tenant examine cured stick of tobacco. submitted a picture of Wil-j liams using a High Boy eight row sprayer last fall, demon strating how easy the defolia tion chemicrals are applied to cotton. Reams says that Williams was well pleased with the re sult of defoliation. The ma- j chine, he said, will spray cot ton of any size and even lying on the ground without any damage to the cotton whatso ever. Not only is mechanization changing the farm picture in Warren, County, but more scientific and better cultural practices by better farmers of the county are increasing yields of the. principal crops. For instance W. D. Martin of Rt. 1. Norlina, had an unusual ly large growth of tobacco of fine quality during the recent droughth. On the field pictured, Reams said that Martin appli ed 000 lbs. of 3-0-9 fertilizer in the drill with 400 lbs. of 3-9-9 at second plowing and 200 lbs. of 3-9-9 in the middle of the row when laying by. Martin reported to the agent that in his opinion his great est success was due to a two year rotation with tobacco one year, weeds the- second year which were plowed under dur ing the early fall.'

And you will be on familiar ground when judging the safe, clean performance of electric house heating. For, like your other electric servants, it is flameless, fumeless, entirely free of smoke or soot. Right now though, are you wondering: "can .we afford it?**. The ? answer is yes. Electric heat is reasonable and ita operating cost compares with that of homes now using flame-type heat. That it is practical in cost accounts for its rapid acceptance over the past five years. Today a million homes are heated electrically and the forecast is at least 6 million by 1970. Is this safe, clean heat reasonable for the home you plan to build, buy or remodel? To help you decide, your CP&L representative can sh^w you case histories and actual operating costs. You'll also - find that CP&L's special, low, heating rate helps make your choice of flameless electric heat a prudent investment in living comfort. iv:-*; ? -Agr? triiffflTTIirtini ?
