V PAGE EIGHT THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON I AN THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1933 State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q, Is it safe to use tobacco plants from a bed that is infected with mosaic ? t A. Yes, but none of the plants within a one-foot radius of the dis eased area should be touched until all the healthy plants are removed from the -bed at any one pulling. All plants from the diseased, area should then be removed from the beds and destroyed. After handlinu the infected plants the hands should be washed in a weak disinfectant solution and the clothing changed . to prevent spreading the disease. Mosaic is a very infectious dis ease and is commonly spread by indiscriminate handling of diseased and healthy plants While trans planting. , - Q. What is the best feed for baby chicks? A. When the chicks are taken from the incubator .ami placed und er the canopy they should be fed buttermilk or sour skim milk and should have access to dry mash and water. The feeding of cooked infertile eggs mixed with the mash will also give good results. After the first eight or ten days the chicks should be given grain feed. This should be fed two or three times a day in the mash hoppers on top of the mash. Green feed also is important in the growth and health of chicks and, if pos sible they should have finely chop ped up green feed after the first 10 days. Q. Should seed sweet potatoes be treated before bedding? A. AH seed potatoes should be treated to destroy any surface borne disease producing organisms that might be present, but seed AIR PIONEER ( T j.

Before plant ing, the seed should be treated with a mercuric chloride splution using one ounce of the chemical to eight gallons of water. Treat the seed for 15 minutes and then bed without washing. The solution should be warm for the most ef fective control of organisms carried on the seed. .

Farmers Make Ready For Spring Planting Increased farm activity, as grow ers prepare to plant their spring crops, has "been in evidence recent ly, over most of North Carolina. s In going about this annual task, many farmers are still clinging to methods which have . been proven definitely unwise, says George W. Miller, Madison county farm agent of the State college extension ser vice. , For instance, he points out those farmers who still burn corn stalks off their fields instead of turning them tinder. In consecutive crop ping, the soil needs plenty of plant food in the form of decayed organ ic matter to help maintain its fer tility. - Then, too, there are many farm ers who burn off all broom sedge before plowing, Miller said. Experiments have indicated con clusively that it is a better practice to plow deeper and earlier in the winter and to turn under all this growth. "When land is burned over, prac tically all plant food is lost .except that contained in the few ashes left," Miller declared. "And that is no way to make farming a profit able business." The Madison agent also explain ed that corn stalks or broom sedge make a good litter for bedding stalls and barnyards during the winter months. "Much of our cropland is- starv ing for more manure." he said. "One farmer told me he did not have enough straw for feed, much less litter for bedding. However, as a last resort leaves, pine needles, and tobacco stalks can be used; hut by all means get the manure at . a a u' in tne neias early this spring."
