HOME TREATING FENCE POSTS For sometime I have known that L. A. Hicks was interest ed in producing livestock and had noticed that his farm lo cated Just west of Warrenton was taking on a more live stock "look" each time I pass ed. He pulled a surprise f though when I found out he treated his own fence posts. Mr. Hicks says a person in terested in livestock must operate' and think on a long t range program and that long lasting fence posts are a must. Mr. Hicks treats his own posts by utilizing spare time and odd hours so his cost per poet is greatly reduced compared to buying retail and this increases livestock profits too. Old oil drums are cut in half and welded together which are used as soaking vats. In one picture you see Mr. Hicks using a rope and tackle to remove the pine posts from the vats which have completed their soaking period in a solution of S gal lons of penta concentrate and 50 gallons No. 2 fuel oil. In the other picture you see Mr. Hicks outside the unused to bacco bam which houses the equpiment. displaying a well treated post. Of course, it cost Mr. Hick! several hundred dollars to gel started but be is now equipp ed for years of post treating Things similar to this cat sometimes turn a marginal livestock program into a prof itable enterprise. We are it the midst of excellent live stock markets and we have the right soils to grow the needed pasture and hay crops which should spur more ol our people to this type farm ing. ? GARDEN TIP/IF M .1 G < i m I n ?*? N C St.iti- Colli-? ? Five new varieties of Mus cadine grape* have been developed as a -remit of co operative breeding work be tween the Crops Research Di vision of the USDA and the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. Alt of the varieties sre per fect-flowered and may be planted alone, or used as pol lenizers for such imperfect flower varieties as Scupper nong, James, Thomas, Hunt and others. Albemarle is a large fruit ed, smooth blue-black variety of high dessert quality. It ripens about mid-season or along with Burgaw. The vine is vigorous, productive and resistant to leaf spot diseases. Albemarle is rated as being superior to Burgaw, Duplin and Tarheel in fruit size, sugar content and flavor. Pamlico is a large fruited, light green variety of good flavor and attractive appear ance. The fruit ripens about a week earlier than Dearing. The vine is vigorous, produc tive and has good foliage. Pamlico is superior to Wil lard and Wallace in flavor, fruit size, soluble solids, vigor and disease resistance, and is superior to Dearing in fruit size, appearance and flavor. Chowan is light brown to bronze in color. The berries are large, borne in loose clus ters and have a very pleasing aromatic sub-acid flavor The fruit is. somewhat similar to Scuppernong but a little larger in size and sweeter. The sol uble solids content will aver age about 10 per cent which ' is 3 per cent higher than Scuppernong. Chowan ripens about a week earlier than Scuppernong. The vine is vig orous, productive and has good foliage. This variety is superior to Wallace and Wil lard in flavor, appearance, production and disease resist ance. Roanoke U ? very attrac tive white grape with a tinge of golden yellow. The grape* are of medium aiae and ripen about a week earlier than Scuppernong. The vine la vig oroui and productive.

Neither the Crops Research Divisions, USDA, nor the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station has plants for sale. Plant increase is under the supervision of the N. C. Foundation Seed Producers for release to nurserymen for resale to the public in 1963. Inquiries concerning the availability of plants should be addressed to R. W. McMil len, N. C. Foundation Seed Producers, N. C. State Col lege, Raleigh, N. C. Hand Feeding Proves Better SHELBY ?

Wortman told Martin his hand fed bird* had always had a little beer feed conver sion ratio than bird* on auto matic feeders. He plans to stick to the hand feeding, using available labor, as long as the figures favor that method. Coll&rds Used To Plant Border Collards for ornamentals? The green vegetable may not be very ornamental but using it as a border along a drive way is certainly making full use of available space. Monroe Midgett. of Stumpy Point in f?rre County has had many people stop by his house to observe the collard plants flouring along his driveway, according to J. L. Rea, Jr., agricultural exten sion agent. The collards replace shrubs and flowers. They are plant ed in round patches. Midgett either sells or gives' ?tray the vegetable* to curious who atop by. raw peanuts sold record.
