TCUrDAY, I! A" CM 13, 1233 Till FRANKLIN PRESS and THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN PAGE THRZ Your Farm - Row to Malm It Pay GROW SUGAR SPUDS WEET potatoes are adapted to lj North Carolina. They help in hte food supply. They are eas ily grown. They keep well when handled and housed properly. They are essential to any live-at-home program. Therefore, says E. B. Morrow, extension horticulturist at State college, some sweet potatoes should he grown every year on every North Carolina farm. Nor should one consider the potatoes as an emergency, crop. To the "in-and-outer" the crop is a gamble but to the man who plans to have an adequate acreage each season, it is a source of food, feed and cash. "A high yield per acre at a low cost of production per bushel is essential for profit" says Mr. Mor row. "High yields are secured by planting disease-free seed stock, by setting the plants reasonably early and by using a high grade fertilizer. Mr. Morrow recommends the use of curing houses in handling the harvested crop. For instance, he has records of 125 tobacco barns in 26 eastern counties being re modeled for housing the sweets. The total capacity was 189,000 bushels. The; potatoes so cured are bringing from 10 to 25 cents a bushel more on the market than are banked potatoes. MORE HAY MIXING Mammoth Yellow and Laredo soybeans resulted in a larger crop of hay for P. E. Burch of Mountain Park, in Sur ry county, who has been following this practice for some time now with excellent results - Last ryearttclLIniuctea a definite demonstration witn County Agent J. W. Crawford. Six plots were used and the soybeans were planted on June 29. In the first plot, Mr. Burch planted sev en pecks of seed pr acre, using one bushel of the Mammoth Yel low beans and one-half bushel of Laredo beans. In the second plot, he used 8 pecks of Mammoth Yel low; third, 5 1-2 pecks of Otootan; fourth, 9 pecks of Biloxi; .fifth, 7 pecks of Hollybrook, and sixth, 5 pecks of Laredo. The mixture of Mammoth Yel lows and Laredos produced 4,771 pounds of cured hay an acre. The Mammoth Yellows alone gave 3,518 pounds ; the Otootans, 3,518 pounds ; the Biloxi, 3,515 pounds; the Hol lybrook7 3,181 pounds, and, the Laredos alone gave 3,010 pounds. The hay was cut on September 16 and weighed on September 23. "Under conditions in "Surry coun ty, the Mammoth Yellow Deans usually give a good yield of hay -byt-MrrBurch-na8found-hat-by jnixing Ihis yariety with the La redos, -he .secures an even better yield. This is due to the Mam- moth Yellows supporting the more recumbent Laredos and thus en abling better" harvest.

The Farmer's Question Box Timely Questions Answered by N. C. State College Experts Question: What causes blood spots in eggs and how can this condition be remedied ? Answer: Eggs with blood clots or spots appear during the season of heavy production and are caus ed by the rupture of a blood ves sel in the ovary. There is no way of correcting this condition but the eggs can be detected by candl ing and removed from those of fered for sale. This condition, however, is only temporary and is not consistently found in the prod uct of any one bird. Question: How many dahlia stalks should be left and how should the plants be cultivated? Answer: Leave only one strong stalk. All others that come up from the root should be removed. All beds should have deep cultiva-i tion until the plants begin to bloom after which the cultivation should be very shallow. A heavy, straw -mulch can be used in place of the shallow cultivation after blooming. Question: Under present finan cial conditions would it be best to plant cheap seed or cut the acre age and plant only pedigreed seed? Answer: Planting cheap seed is the jnostexpensiveLinyestmenta farmer canfrnake ditions. Plant a smaller acreage to the best seed obtainable. The smaller planting will, in many cases, produce as much as the larger acreage planted to cheap seed. The land thus released may be sown to legumes such as row peas, clover, or lespedeza as a soil building or grazing crop. Question: How soon after far rowing should a sow be put on full feed? Answer: The pigs should be at least two weeks old before the sow is put on a full ration. No feed at all should be given the I first day after farrowing with a small amount of shipstuff, fed as a slop, on the second day. The rationis:ihengradually"nnCTeaseH each day with the animal getting a full ration on the fourteenth day. Question: How far apart should I set my corn rows to plant soy beansin the middles and - how much seed will it take to plant an acre? ' Answer: Lorn rows should dc set about six feet apart where soybeans are to be grown in the middles. This allows 2orraltiya tiorP without damage"fo "the beans. Wi thh eor nHfoW it takes about twenty pounds of seed to plant an acre. Monday nicht with him enroute to Hartford, Conn.

"We are all familiar with the 'winding ridges of dirt raised by the mole in making his runways. These are feeding tunnels made as the little animal searches for the worms and bugs wiich are his standard diet," says A. E. Oman, rodent control leader for the Unit ed States Biological Survey at State college. "The home dens are larger cavities and ordinarily are located under stumps, rocks, stone walls or other surface ob jects. Sometimes field mice in vade these runways and complete the destruction of planted corn or garden seeds pushed aside by the mole and thus cause the blame to fall on him." Moles are not entirely innocent of eating seed and grain, Oman says. Often they will do much damage to bulb flowers. In eating corn, for instance, the animal hulls the germ end and eats the germ It does not eat the starchy por tion. A mole may burrow down a corn row for 100 yards and eat only the germs of five or. six kernels. After that, it pushes them aside as so much clay and seeks to satisfy its avid appetite for worms and insects Field mice on the other hand may do considerable damage to grain crops especially where they adjoin a straw field or brush land. Moles may be controlled by trap- pingand" jield micTaTe readily pois oned with strychnine treated wheat or crushed oats, the biologist says. y y y ,;i ft If ILLUSION: A large packing case is exhibited on a raised plat form.

Quality is by far the most important. Domestic cigarette tobaccos vary in price from 50 a pound up to 40f a pound. Imported tobaccos vary from 50 a pound to $1.15.
