SPRING STOCKER CATTLE SALES As mentioned in "Coming Events" above you will no tice there will be two stock er sales next week. If you have cattle that you desire to consign to either one of these sales or would like to buy a number to add to your summer pastures, this is a golden opportunity. We have two excellent markets locally and I suggest you consider purchases at these markets first and the lut-of county markets second. PLAN NOW FOR HOT WEATHER FORAGE Continued grazing on cool-1 weson plants during the] hotter months usually results in decreased animal produc tion and loss of plant stands. Use plants that grow best I 4erinf tot ynttbtrt rr. z j 1. Starr, Gahi, or common1 Pearl millet - seed April 15 \ ?July 1, with 6-10 lbs./acre in rows or 20-25 lbs. broad-! cast. At planting fertilize with 300-500 lbs./acre of 8-8-8 or 10-10-10, topdress with 30 60 lbs./acre of N when 6 inches high and after the first grazing period. Topdress after each grazing as needed No prussic acid in millet. 2 Sudan grass - Sudax (SX-ll), Tift, or Sweet. Fer tilize same as millet. Seed 10-15 lbs./acre in rows or 30-40 lbs. broadcast. 3. Annual lespedeza - Fer tilize with 300-400 lbs./acre of 0 14-14 or 0-10-20 when seeded alone and on second and third year stands. 4. Soybeans - Seed late April to July 1 with Vi to 1 bu. in rows or 2 bu. broad cast. Fertilize with 300-400 lbs./acre of 0-10-20. Use va rieties that are used for seed or hay in your area. REFERENDUMS Don't forget the Egg and Cattlemen's Referendums next Tuesday, April 9, from 8:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. The only polling place will be located in the front hall of the coun ty agricultural building, War ronton. Everyone selling or sharing in the sales of poul try and cattle, including beef and dairy, are eligible and should vote. If two-thirds of those vot ing favor the program, then one cent per hen sold for sl?ughtor -and ten cents c? head of cattle sold for slaugh ter and bringing over $20.00 will be deducted. This money will be used to promote sales and consumption of these pro ducts. You are urged to cast your vote, regardless of how you vote. "Is early spring a good time to plant cool season grasses such as tall fescue (Ky 31) and bluegrass?" My answer to this question is no. Late fall is the best time to seed cool season grasses and I believe we have good reasons for this I statement. In the fall we can usually take more time to prepare a good seed bed and get the seed up and growing before cold weather sets in. In the spring, due to the rush of other work, we are likely to "scratch" the seed in, get a poor stand and give up. There are two other disadvantages of spring plant ing even if we do prepare a good seed bed. In the first place, we always take a chance on the ground freez ing and lifting the tender seedlings out of the soil by their roots. And seendly, if the weather turns dry, con stant watering is necessary. Spring is the best time to plant the warm season grass es, Bermuda, Zoysia and oth ers, regardless of whether or not you use seed, sprigs, or plugs. "When is the best time to root rhododendron cuttings?" Studies have been conduct ed here at State on this prob lem. The study began two years ago under the direc tion of Dr. Thomas Cannon and Mr. Thomas Hall, a grad uate student. Cuttings were taken from Rhododendron carolinianum plants at the first of each month for a 10 month period, excluding May and June. The cuttings were brought i to Raleigh and placed in a I rooting medium composed of i equal parts of Weblite and I peat moss, volume for vol I ume, was also a good root ing medium. Results of the experiment indicate that cuttings root more ea.'.ily when taken dur ing the winter months. About 33 per cent of the cuttings taken in July rooted as con trasted with 98 per cent [.successful rooting ill the, wint er months. Indole, 3, butyric acid, in alcholol, at 5,000 parts per millino, used as a quick dip, proved satisfactory as a hor mone treatment in promoting rapid root initiation. Someone tried to pin me down the other day about the best variety of sweet corn. There are many excellent va rieties of sweet corn and the one chosen may be best suit ed for a particular use such as fresh or for processing. For the home garden and i general use and enjoyment, !

Too Many The shorter pole?owned by a rural electric cooperative?wai built in 1949 to serve a rural home. Then?10 year* later?the area became more densely populated and waa annexed into a town. That's when the taller pole waa put up by a commercial, Investor-owned power company? the aame company which would not aerve the area when h waa sparsely populated. The company and the town said to the co-op, "Get out Fair? Hardly. What's more, it isn't just the cooperatives who suffer when their mem bers are taken away by these duplicate linea? although it me ana one leaa member to share the cost of electric service. AH consumers lose. After all, the cost of the unneceaaary power company lines is a part of its customers* electric billa.

"I've used other tobacco fertilizers but they did not give the same results as AGRICO fertilizer. Agrico gives my tobacco better color, weight and quality tobacco leaves. My Agrico fertilized crop yielded a top quality tobacco weighing 2,740 pds. which sold for 51,824 per acre or $66.62 per hundred weight." You, too, can get the same fine results.
