RALEIGH, March 30, Unem
ployed workers who have exhaust
ed their benefits based on their
work during the first three quart
ers of 1937 and who worked some
in the last quarter of last year,
should re-register for benefits at
their local employment office now
so they can begin to get any ad
ditional benefits based on work the
fourth quarter, which are to be
available rafter April 1, the .unem
ployment compensation commission
announces.
Benefits for the first quarter of
this year, January, February, and
March, had to be based on the
earnings of workers in the first
three quarters of last year, or up
to September 30. On and after
April 1, this year, the earnings in
October, November and December,
last year, can also be considered.
Many workers had earnings in
those last three months of last year,
and had. exhausted their wage cred
its or will soon exhaust those bas
ed on the first three, quarters of
last year. They still have to their
credit any earnings in the last three
months of 1937, and can get those
benefits after April 1, if they are
otherwise eligible.
In order to get these, additional
benefits, the unemployed worker
should register ' again at the em
ployment office, even though he
had signed up the continued claims
long enough to use up his benefit
amounts. In such oases, the central
office will figure the benefits again,
including the fourth quarter earn
ings of last year."
If a worker has been employed
some of last year and on through
the first quarter of this year, then
the earnings during the last quart
er of last year will be included in
figuring his benefits., in case he
becomes unemployed after April 1.

N. C. Farmers Need
More Certified Seed
The production of certifed seed
is one of the steps essential to
improving the quality and yields of
Nprth Carolina crops.
; Certified seed are produced by
grower members of the N. C.. crop
improvement association, said A, D.
Stewart, extension seed specialist at
State college who is working with
the association.
Growers who wish to grow seed
that can be certified as pure, of a
good variety, and free from noxious
weeds and diseases may join the
association and secure approved
seed from the N. C. agricultural
experiment station at State college
or from other credited breeders.
While the crops are growing, rep
resentatives of the association make
field inspections to ascertain wheth
er the crops are free from mixture
with other strains, free from dis
ease, and uncontaminated with weed
seeds. '

State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
Q. When should I cull the cock
erels from my early hatched chicks?
A. Where cockerels are to be
seved for , 'breeders, the first culling
should be made when from eight
t. twelve weeks - old. For best re
sults the flock should be culled
continuously and all through the
growing , period the birds should be
watched carefully and any cock
erels showing poor development or
lacking in vitality should be dis
carded. The first culling of pullets
may be made at the same time and
the same procedure followed
through the growing period. .
Q. Is it necessary to. side dress
vegetables with nitrate of soda?
A. The quality of succulent veg
etables is dependent upon, rapid
growth and it is often necessary to
make side applications of quickly
available nitrogen to maintain vig
orous growth. The time of applica
tion will, of course, depend upon
the vigor and maturity of the crop
and upon seasonal conditions and
the grower must use his best judg
ment as to the time. Care must be
taken not to let the fertilizer come
into direct contact with the plants
as this may cause damage through
burning or scalding.
Q. At what age should a calf be
given grain and hay?
A. Small .amounts of .both grain
and hay should be offered the calf
at about two weeks of age or when
rthe substitution of skim-milk for
whole milk is begun. Only a hand
ful or two or grain should be giv
en the first . day and this amount
can be gradually increased until the
animal is receiving about three
pounds a day at six months of
age. No more grain than the calf
will clean up should be given at
one feeding. Hay. should be fed
sparingly at first and gradually in
creased until the animal is getting
all it will consume. . On account
of the laxative nature of alfalfa, it
is best to use a clean, bright mixed
hay for first three' or four weeks.
After that good, leafy alfalfa hay is
best.
