Agriculturally Speaking
Agent Emphasizes Safety
For Farm Safety Week
By FRANK W. REAMS,
County Agricultural Agent
FARM SAFETY
July 22-28 has been set
aside as Farm Safety Week to
call special attention to some
farm activities that might cause
some mighty unhappy events.
It would be plain foolishness
to think anyone could learn
or do enough during July 22-28
to last 52 weeks. This busi
ness of safety is mighty im
portant all year round and
even being safety conscious,
one bad luck incident will
creep in to give the doctors,
lawyers and hospitals a little
business.
The bath tub, stairway, out
side steps continue to be a
source of danger and machin
ery appears to love to mangle
up hands, arms, legs and some
times everything else. Not
long ago I saw in the paper
where a man was pulled into
a threshing machine which re
sulted in a nice juicy funeral
the next day at 4 p. m. The
moral: When repairing machin
ery, cut off every possible
moving part.
Boating
Since so many people have
boats these days, here are
some suggestions or tips for
boat owners:
Check boat thoroughly be
fore leaving mooring.
Never overload your boat
and, at all times, be especially
careful about non-swimmers
and children.
Carry a Coast Guard approv
ed life preserver for every
person aboard.
Carry filled fire extinguish
ers, as required by law.
Use extreme caution when
filling fuel tanks; don't smoke.
Wipe up spillage. Turn off all
fires and electrical accessories.
Hold filling nozzle firmly
against fill pipe (grounded).
Ventilate engine compartment
and all enclosed spaces before
restoring motors.
Observe weather, wind, tide
and current conditions before
starting.
Keep to right when meeting
another boat.
Give right-of-way to vessels
approaching in your danger
zone on the starboard (right)
side.
Avoid?
Large vessels. They are not
as meneuverable as smaller
craft.
Sailboats. Small ones may
be swamped by the wash from
a power boat. I-arge sailing
yachts do not have the ma
neuverability of a power boat.
Don't turn boats at high
speed. Small craft can easily
be swamped by their own
wash.
Approach dock or mooring
against the wind or current,
whichever is strongest.
Outlaw horseplay around
boats. A boat is not a toy for
children.
Obey the rules of the road.

Irrigation Helps In
Growing Of Tobacco
By NAT B. WHITK,
Soil Conservationist
Growing tobacco is very
complicated. Each crop is
different; each year the tobac
co grower is faced with a prob
lem he has never cficountered
before. His judgment is usual
ly based on ? past experience,
and on advice from good to
bacco fanners or agricultural
agents.
In recent years two prob
lems have been outstanding.
One is what to do with a
"washed out" crop?tobaccc
that has turned yellow from
too much water before it ma
tured. Another problem Is
what to do with a crop thai
grew up with plenty of watei
and then the weather turned
dry. This year we may be
faced with both of these
problems.
In each of these cases irri
gation can play an important
part. With a "washed out'
crop of tobacco a farmer feels
a lot safer putting a heavy ap
plication of top dressing if he
can irrigate. With a crop thai
grew up with plenty of watei
| the farmer needs to keep it on
the land long enough to let It
mature.
In 1959 we had a very dry
; June and a wet July. Tobacco
grew up fast in July, and it
came off the hill fast. That
year one of the best irrigations
was in August. Albert Lynch
off Norlina irrigated his tobac
co to make it stay on the hill
longer. The tobacco matured
?! nicely, and Lynch made an ex
! cellent crop of high quality
i ] tobacco. It looks like we may
need some late irrigations this
year.
Irrigation ponds are under
construction for E. B. Rideout
of Axtel, M. P. Burwell near
' | Warrenton, and Mrs. Mamie
'|Hight of Macon. Every farm
!; er who has an irrigation sys
!, tem in Warren County has a
pond except two. A farmer
that wants to irrigate should
t make arrangements for his
water several months ahead.
Tobacco cash receipts in
Tennessee (burley) are esti
mated at about $70 million a
year?14 per cent of the state's
cash agricultural income of
more than $500 million.
The lifetime quota of water
usage for the average person
in the U. S. is 3,500,000 gal
lons.

What is meant by pre
sprouting sweet potato seed!
stock?
This is a new practice,!
which was begun in 1960, and
is being adapted by more
growers each year. It is esti
mated that pre-sprouting can
save the grower from $40 to
$50 per acre. It increases
early sprout production and
saves money by "-educing the
amount of seed stock needed |
to produce the necessary plants
for field setting.
How is it accomplished? By'
giving the seed stock to be
bedded ideal curing conditions.
for a period of 30 days prior'
to bedding This treatment is
especially desirable for slow
sprouting varieties such as j
Centennial, Nugget and Gold
Rush. Porto Rico is an excep-!
tion because this variety re-:
quires only 20 days of pre
treatment.
What are considered to be j
ideal curing conditions? The
emphasis here is placed on
ideal. Ideal conditions consist
of raising the temperature in
the curing house to 85 degrees
and maintaining a relative hu
midity of 90 per cent, during
the period of pre-trcatment.
This is the same procedure
that was followed when the j
potatoes were cured in the fall j
after harvesting.
What happens is this. After
the potatoes are cured in the
fall, primarily to heal cuts,
they are put to sleep (reduc
ing the respiration rate) by
lowering the temperature In
the house to 55 degrees. They
are held at this temperature
until time for pre-sprouting
(30 days before bedding time).
This wakes them up.
If ideal conditions are not
maintained, it may take longer
to induce sprouting. For ex
ample: If the curing house is
not tight enough you may be
only able to maintain a humid
ity of 70 per cent rather than
90 per cent.
AJ1 of this brings into sharp
focus the importance of con
structing curing and storage
houses in which ideal condi
tions can be maintained.
Considering the importance
if the sweet potato in North
Carolina and the South, the
organization of growers and
the emphasis being placed
upon processing, we should an
ticipate marked improvement
In the handling, curing and
storing of this crop.
We must look forward to the
time when curing houses are
constructed and equipped to
provide ideal conditions with
automatic controls for both
temperature and humidity.

vide you with Information
Leaflet No. 104 which gives,
in greater detail, the proced
ure to follow when pre-sprout
ing seed stock.
Families Of Olive
Grove Community
Hold Garden Tour
By L. C. COOPER,
Negro County Agent
In the January Community
Meeting, when the Olive Grove
Commuity listed their objec
tives for 1962, one of the most
outstanding objective was to
"Increase Income." Several
means of increasing income
were listed, one of which was
"to produce and conserve a
better home food supply for
family use." At each monthly
meeting, families were encour
aged to plan better and bigger
gardens this year, using rec
ommended practices in select
ing seed, planting, and cultiva
tion.
To climax this production
project, a garden tour was
sceduled for June 19; however,
due to unavoidable circum
stances, the tour was re-sched
uled for June 16. Thus on
Monday at 8 a. m., families in
Olive 'Trove, accompanied by
visitors from Vaughan and Em
bro Communities met at the
clubhouse to begin the tour
which included visits to the
following homes: William R.
