PACE TWO tliE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, SEPT, ih 1511 bee Colony Weakens As Old Queen Fails A vigorous, new queen placed in the hive in September will . produce many young bees to carry the tulony through the winter in good cxiKiition, said S. L. Sams, exten sion bee specialist at State college. A failing' queen cannot keep the c ..my up' to full strength, he con tinued, and. ia ' colony may be so wctKcncd through the winter that it will, not be .able to gather and slure profitable quantities of honey in the spring. . . , JJircctions for removing the old queens and introducing new queens into colonies arc included with the mw queens when purchased from reliable apiarists. Directions may al so oe obtained from the extension bee specialist, or county farm agents. Sains added that colonies should enter the winter with at least 40 to 45 lKmnds of food stores. If : the food supply is short, it can be built nip by giving the bees a, thin syrup miade of sugar and water or molasses thinned with water. Weak colonies with less than three or four Hoffman frames of bees and . brood six weeks, before the first killing frost should be united with another colony, as it won't be worth much, if anything, to i lie apiarist by itself. Sams added that experiments are being tried with cloth covers to protect the hives in winter in the work of finding new uses for cotr ton. Beekeepers who are interested may write to .Sams at State col lege. They are offered free of charge except that the cost of shipping may be asked of the per son who is to use them. Farmers Combine To Buy Equipment. More than 1,000 North Carplina farmers are taking advantage of the community services of the farm .security administration to make loans from $25 to $2,000 to pur chase farm equipment ranging from corn planters to harvester-thresher combines and tractors, according to Robert S. Curtis, state supervisor, community services. "Under this plan farmers' orga nize' intb "groups' of from three to 50 or more participants and ap point, a master borrower," 'Mr. Curtis .said. "The farm security r-dministration then makes the loan to the farmer selected, who must be a man of outstanding character and good reputation in his com munity." Small farmers are combining their efforts to purchase farm ma chinery ordinarily too expensive for a small farm. Corn planters and other inexpensive farm tools are frequently bought by three or i.'iore farmers. Fifty or 60 progres sive farmers may unite to buy pure bred jacks and stallions, seed-clean ing and treating machinery, or combines and tractors. ' More than 50 such groups have made purchases since the first of the year. Many applications for cutting ' and discing plows, regis tered, stallions, sorgum . mills, mowing machines, rakes and other valuable farm equipment are pour ing into the county supervisors. Mr. Curtis pointed out that loans are safe since all the master bor rowers have been .selected with care and they are good, dependable farmers. ; : NO MORE FREE SEED This year the U. S. department of agriculture celebrates its 15th year of attempting to convince American farmers that it does not have seeds to give away, says a recent department pamphlet. ,The practice was discontinued in 1923. f , ' John R, Jones,Sylva, a unit dem onstration farme-, has constructed n model .sweet potato storage house from an old poultry brooder house, The number of sheep on farms in North Carolina January 1, 1938, estimated at 62,000, was the small est of any year on record except 1912, reports the N.

The value' of 'crimson clover' in improving the water Jholding capa city of soil has been demonstrated by F. A. Earnhardt of Concord, route 3, for the past two- years. Cotton planted after the clover 'has withstood the dry weather without lasing its fruit or leaves, ', ; v State College Answers Timely Farm Questions ' Q. How loflg should my beef cat tle glean the,fields before they ore put bthe feed lot? A. Cattle may well be carried in ' the fields of corn stalks, soybean stalks, pasture or meadow for from one to three weeks, but should always be put in the lot before ,they stop making satisfac tory gains. This is especially true where animals are bought in the fal) for winter feeding. In this way they not. only utilize . feed that might otherwise be wasted but it also gives the cattle a chance to recover from the trip to the farm. Q. Is it economical to feed grain to poultry several times a day dur ing the winter months? .A. The practice of . feeding ,a ,&mall amount of grain at different intervals throughout the day in the winter has met- with success on many farms. One of the best aids to. high production during the win ter is to keep the birds active and this method of feeding increases the activity, overcomes idleness, and indirectly increases, feed con sumption. The amount of feed is just as important as the .kind of .feed given. It is therefore neces sary that the bird have a full crop before she goes to roost as. well as at different , intervals, during the day.. Under no circumstances should the heavy feeding at night be neg lected. , I , Q. How ! late can I wait before harvesting sweet potatoes ? A. Sweet potatoes should be harvested before the vines are kill ed by frost and .always before the first of November. If the vines are killed by an early froit they should be cut from the stems, immediately and the sweets harvested as soon as possible, jln harvesting, care should be taken so as not to bruise the tubers as this will make them lowers, the market value. Grading for size and quality should be done in the field at harvest time.
