PAGE TWO THE FIUNKUN PRES3 ANt THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, la SEED WINTER COVER CROPS Conservation Program for 1939 Will Begin On November 1 By S. W. MENDENHALL County Agent In the majority of ; cases the humber of acres seeded in the Spring IU ICSpCUCM UI giaasw ifiv cLover. is determined by the num ber of acres seeded to sipall grain in the fall. It is a known fact that more acres in Macon county should be' seeded both to winter cover such as rye, oats an,d barley and then to grass and legumes in the spring.--A mighty godd practice is to disk in 'rye on lespedeza to help hold in the soil the nitrogen that has been stored up by the, les pedeza, then both crops can be turned in the spring or , the rye can be left on the land' and the lespedeza will reseed. The 1939 .soil conservation pro gram begins. November 1. If the majority of the, units are to be made by seeding lespedeza, grasses or grass.es and legumes in small grain or by turning green manure crops such as rye, every effort should be made to .seed as much rye as possible. Indications are that lime as well as triple-superphosphate will be made available through the soil conservation program during , 1939. .This will work in exceptionally well j with your cover crops, grasses anu legumes that you intend to seed. . la the lyjy program wnear. nas been made a special commodity and will be , handled on a basis similar IU lUU(l.tU.

Market Improvements Are Object Of Study Providing farmers with better methods of marketing fruits and vegetables will be the objective of S broad study of marketing condi tions -in the southeast to be under taken by state and federal agencies, said Dn I. O. Schaub, acting di rector of the, agricultural experi ment; station at State college. Agricultural economists who have been considering the problem now confronting truckers and fruit growers are convinced that well planned markets located at key points where farmers, truckers, and other buyers could get togeth erwould give the growers a de cided advantage over the present haphazard methods of moving their prdducts to the consumer. Under the plans outlined in a rough draft of such a marketing systemdaily reports from all mar kets would be made available at each point to , show the day-to-day trends In supply, demand, and price over the southeast and in the. north western primary and terminal mar kets. Dr. Schaub pointed out. Fewer fruits and vegetable are being shipped by rail' nowdays, he added, while increased use of motor trucks has accompanied the .expan sion in production. New trends in shipping have brought new market ing problems, which have been add ed to those already handicapping the producers. ' '. ' - - ' The proposed key points - would be central places where growers could haul their ; produce , for sale to buyers who would then ship by rail, truck, or .boat as they pre ferred to distant markets. The .study will be conducted by the l S. department of agriculture in cooperation with agricultural ex periment stations at N. C. State college, Clemson. college, the -University of Georgia, and Auburn, Ala. S. L. Clement,, agricultural economist, will represent the N. C. agricultural experiment station. IBBBCBIfflHia Small Grain Yields Could Be Increased The average small grain yield on Tar Heel farms is only a fraction of what it could be if growers would use more care in preparing the land, selecting good seed, and ferti lizing with the proper mixture, said W. H. Rankin, agronomist at the agricultural experiment station at State college. For example, he said, the average oat yield is only 20 bushels per acre, but yields of more than 50 bushels are possible with good seed on good land. Growing small grains in rotation with legume crops, particularly les pedeza, will bob.st yields many bush els per acre. Preparation of the land for seeding this fall should have started with a thorough disk ing of the fields in July or August The use of good seed is of ut most importance, he continued. The variety should ' be adapted to the locality, and resistant to cold and disease, also capable of producing high yields of full-bodied grain. For average "soils in' Piedmont North Carolina, where most of the state's small grain is grown, 200 to 400 pounds of 4-10-4 fertilizer per acre should be applied, and if need ed an additional application of sol uble nitrogen should be given the following spring. The time of seeding must be con sidered, too, since many growers sow their small grain too late to produce a good stand that will go through the winter in good con dition and be ready to make a rap id, vigorous spring growth. Examines Soils For State Farmers In 1937, the agronomy department of the agricultural experiment sta tion examined 4,500 samples of spil submitted from 1,100 North Garo lia farms and reported back to their owners as to fertilizer and lime requirements of the, soils, so tested. "This is a service that we have been rendering to the farmers of the state free of charge but which we have not pushed agressively due to lack of funds and lack of person nel," said Dn I. O. Schaub, di rector of the station. "Reports made to us by the farmers getting, this service indicate that crop increases of over 50 per cent could be at tributed directly to the recommen dations made as a result of the soil tests. An average of replies from many farmers .showed an average increased income worth $19p an acre." . i - Dr, Schaub said the experiment Atatlon wias preparing ;.io fcxpand this soil testing; service and would try to analyze and examine soil for any farmer sending in samples. There are certain ways to take the samples from both the top soil and the sub-soil, however, and those who desire the work should write in to Prof. C. B. Williams, .head of the agronomy department at State college, asking him for the neces sary blank and - soil container The .soil test in itself is not a fully dependable guide in the u,se of fertilizer. But in the hands of a competent person, fully informed as to the soil characteristics of a given region and of the cropping system followed there, the test does give vajuable .information. Dr. Schaub said the agronomy depart ment had been . conducting tests with various plant food mixtures on different crops and on the main soil types of , the -state for over 25 years and from the wealth of infor mation thus secured would be able to give fairly accurate and defi nite recommendations, v Fertilizer In Bands Increases Potato Yield Tests conducted on IT different farms with 1 the early Irish potato crop in 1938, indicate that placing the fertilizer in . bands to the side of the seed piece will give definite increases in the acre yield. "Our results this year showed an increase of from 2 to 23 of the hundred pound sack! to the acre or an average ; of 11 sacks for the whole series - of field demonstra tions," announced L, P. Watson, ex tension horticulturist at State' col lege. "This aerage of 1,100 pounds increase per acre is not so out standing as the results secured last year .but growing conditions in the early part of this season were al most ideal and thus danger from fertilizer turn to the young plants was reduced to the minimum." Mr. Watson secured increases of 2,4.75 pounds to the acre in the demonstrations conducted in 1937. The band method of placing the fertilizer was .used in the demon-1 strations. This was accomplished by the use of a machine which plants the seed and at the same time dis tributes the fertilizer in two ' nar row bands two inches to each side and slightly . below the level of the seed piece. In each demonstration, one acre was planted by this band method and check plot of one acre was planted alongside using the methods commonly followed by the farmer. At digging time, the two plots were dug separately and the potatoes carefully graded and mea sured. . ','... Mr. Watsou said the demonstra tions were conducted by farmers under , the supervision of county agents in CamJen, Corteret, Beau fort, Pittj Wayne and TyrrelF coun ties.. A large number of potato "growers are planning .to adopt the new 1 method : of placing fertilizers as a result of the tests. '?
