Timely Farm Questions
Q. What Is inflation?
A. When 21'.. pounds of
bacon at the store cost as much
money as the farmer received
for a 250-pound hog six years
ag j, that's inflation. The Farm
Management Department of the
Extension Service at State col
lege says that now is a good ;
time to pay up all debts and
retire all mortgages. It's a dan
gerous time to buy land on a
credit or to make any other
long-time commitments. Change
the old saying, "In time of
peace, prepare for war" to reafi.
"In time of inflation, prepare I
for deflation."

Q. Is it true that 3 bushels ol
green sweet potatoes are equal
to 1 bushel of corn in feeding
value?
A Yes. When you dehydrate 3
bushels of yams, you get the
feed equivalent of 1 bushel of
corn, according to J. Y. Lassiter,
Extension horticulturist at State
college. He predicts that there
will be small processing plants
in all the major sweet potato
areas in the near future. The
.smallest of these plants can
take care of the culls from 300

Bey's Third Of Crop
Brings Him Net Of $55
By G. B. DIXON,
Assistant County Agent
"C^n all you can" is only a
sign Frank Deal, 4-H club boy
from Holly Springs, saw that
made him want to help relieve
the food situation. This spring,
he and his uncle, Marion Deal,
put almost an acre to Tender
green beans. Frank was to get
one-third after all bills were j
paid. Expenses to be deducted !
were his fertilizer bill amount
ing to $7.85, his seed at 19c per
pound cost $9.50 and paying
over one and one-half cents per
pound for picking of the 6.108
pounds of beans they sold plus
other small items of expense.
Sale of beans were to a local
cannery in Macon county, Pren
tiss Food Products company,
amounting to $285 16. selling at
cannery prices of $90.00 per ton
for No. 1 beans.
The Deals did not spray for |
beetles but used a small amount j
of baracide for groundhog con
to 500 acres, and turn them into
valuable feed for dairy cows
an<T poultry. The vines can also
be processed into hay, lVi tons
of which is equivalent to 1 tos
of alfalfa hay.

When Grain Is
Seeded Early
North Carolina farmers are
seeding their small grains earlier
than usual and increased yields
are being obtained.
Wheat yields this year are 35
per cent above the ten-year
average Oat yields are up 35
per cent also, and barley yields,
2U per cent. There is, however,
considerable room (or further
trol. They felt that the dry
weather hurt the last picking
of theix bean crop.

with his beans this year. Not j

calf Wiley Brown, business man
of Franklin, has sponsored for

improvement In these yields.
Estimated yields of wheat in
North Carolina this year are 18
bushels; barley, 28 bushels; and
oats, 32' i bushels. Fifteen years
of demonstrations at the Pied
mond branch experiment sta
tion at Statesville on a farm
basis, and not test plots, show
the following yields: Wheat 31
bushels; barley, 35 bushels; and
oats, 63 bushels
Note that oat yields, which
are now relatively high as com
pared with past years, can just
about be doubled under aver
age conditions. While some low
yields are due to poor seed bed
preparation, the use of un
treated seed, lack of sufficient
fertilizer at seeding, and not
applying the top-dressing at
the right time, State college
agronomists say that one of the
chief reasons for low yields is
not seeding at the right time
Many farmers delay the seed
ing of small grains until other
farm jobs are out of the way,
and this is a particularly bad
situation when growing oats.
The proper time for seeding
oats and barley, according to
the agronomists, is October 1 to
25 in the Piedmont; September
