Timely Farm Questions
Q. How can 1 prevent the spread
ofimosaic in my tobacco fields?
A. Care should be taken in top
ping, worming and suckering the
tobacco plants. Be sure (hat the
healthy plants are wormed first as
indiscriminate handling will spread
the disease. It will also aid in pre
venting -the spread if all diseased
plants are removed, the hands and
all clothing should be carefully
cleaned before additional work is
done in the field.
Q. What should be done with the
remaining birds in a poultry flock
after an outbreak of coccidiosis ?
A. This depends .upon the severity
of the disease, 'but if the flock had
a high rate of mortality all the re
maining birds should be marketed
as soon as they reach broiler size.
It is probable that all the birds
had the disease in some degree
and therefore will develop into
adult carriers. The living birds
would be uneconomical from a pro
duction standpoint and would also
be a menace to the health of all
young birds reared on the place.
Q. When should lambs be re
moved from the ewe flock?
A. All lambs, whether they an
to be sold or not, should be taken
from their dams by July 1. The
should then be placed on the best
pasture available. If the pasture is
not good, grain may be supplied
for about two to three weeks to
get them started off. As a usual
thing, however, either soybeans or
sudan grass will be available and
wijl furnish nutritious and succu
lent grazing throughout the summer.
The ewes should be put on short
pasture for a week or 10 days as an
aid in checking the milk flow. The
ewes should also be examined every
two or -three days and milked if
necessary.
Men Are Interested
In Kitchen Contest
Iredell county farm women are
beginning to ask, "Is this kitchen
improvement contest our project,
or, our husbands' project?"'
Miss Camille Alexander, county
home -demonstration agent of the
State college extension service, re
ported "that "It's surprising-to see
how much interest the men are
showing in the contest. Some of
them have done more work in
thdii wives' kitchens than in years
before."
When the contest was started in
thej spring, many of the men ap
peared to be indifferent, and some
of the women had to do all the
work by themselves. One woman,
not- to be daunted,, got out a saw,
hammer, ' some nails, and a few
boards with which she made her
self a kitchen cabinet, Miss Alex
ander stated.
But it' a different story now,
she' continued. A's kitchens began
to show the result of ' planning and
well directed work, the men caught
thj spirit of the contest and lent a
hand with the improvements. Some
of hem got so interested that they
took over all the heavy work and
some of the lighter jobs and were
later heard in public bragging about
"their kitchens."
To give full credit to the men,
Miss Alexander pointetf out that
sorfle of them gave hearty coopera
tioh from the very start, and their
kitchens show the result.
ip the contest are 104 families
whb have set out to make their
kitfchcn9 more attractive, conven-

Apply More Nitrogen
To Rain-Soaked Corn
Recent heavy rains have cashed
practically all the soluble nitrogen
out of sandy soils in North Caro
lina corn . and cotton fields, and
many of the. heavier soils have lost
much of their nitrogen, said E. C.
Blair, extension agronomist at
State college. .
As soon as the ground is dry
enough, he added, top-dressings of
nitrate of soda or some other sol
uble nitrogenous fertilizer should
be applied to corn to produce a
good crop. And if more heavy rains
come a little later, still another top
dressing might be applied. But he
warned .against putting in too much
ut once, saying that a moderate ap
plication shquld be given, and then
another can be added later if nec
essary,
Blair said there isn't much that
farmers can do for their rain
damaged cotton except to hope for
good weather the rest of the grow
ing season. On the sandy soils,
howeves, applications of 50 pounds
of nitrate of ; soda per acre may
give some advantage.
The damp and rainy weather has
given the boll weevil a good start,
said J. O. Kowcll, extension ento
mologist, but dusting with calcium
arsenate, or equal parts of calcium
arsenate and lime, will bring the
weevils under control. Many farm
er! prefer the mixture containing
Personalities in the World News
lime, as the arsenate is not good
for their soils, and the less arse
nate in the mixture, the less dam
age it will do.
Lespedeza thrives in rainy weath
er, Blair also commented. Some
fields are now growing the best
stands of this crop in years, with
the plants standing six to seven
inches high in many cases.

Livestock Controls
Dodder In Lespedeza
Pasturing livestock on lespedeza
fields in summer is a good way of
controlling dodder, or love vine,
that infests North Carolina legume
fields, said A. C. Kimrey, exten
sion dairy specialist at State col
lege. Dodder is a serious menace,
especially where lespedeza is being
grown for seed.
When the animals eat this para
site, comparatively few seeds . will
be produced, but the lespedeza will
later produce seeds for harvest or
tor reseeding another crop on the
same land the following year. One
dodder plant, allowed to grow, may
yield 3,000 seeds, and if harves'ted
with the lespedeza will make the
legume dangerous to use. Under the
state seed law, dodder is . classed
as a noxious weed.
The surest way' to fight this par
asite is to plant only lespedeza
seed known to be free from dodder,

FRANKLIN, N. C.
said .E. C. Blair, extension s agro
nomist. This means that growere
should not harvest seed from fields
that are heavily infested with dod
der.' , -
Where infestations of dodder and
other weeds are heavy, Blair ad
vises that the crop be mowed,
raked up, and burned. The blade
of the mowing machine should be
set so as to leave a four- or five
inch stubble, or higher if possible.
If this is done at once, the lespe
deza will continue growing and
proauce more seeus, dm most oi
the dodder will be gone.
Although dodder starts i from a
seed,, it soon attaches tentacle-like
vines to other plants, and there
after it lives the life of a true
parasite, feeding on ' lespedeza .or
other plants and drawing some of
its nourishment from the air. The
pale yellow or orange colored vines
are found frequently in North Car
olina legume fields in summer.
