State College Answers Timely Farm Que?ticns Q How can I control the red mite in my poultry flock? A Where the red mite has be come well established, the fol lowing procedure should be fol lowed to destroy them. First, re move the perch poles so that the poles and their supports can be well treated. All dried manure should be removed If the perch poles are not de tachable they should be made so. Second, sweep down the in ner side walls of the house and remove all litter from the nests, floor, and away from the vicin ity of the house. When the mites are found only in the nest and vicinity of the perch pole*, treating these areas may be sufficient, but in case of widespread in lestation, the entire house, in cluding the roof boards and floor, should be treated. Some good mite exterminating products are crude petroleum, commercial carbolineum, coal tar stock dips, and a combina tion of equal parts of waste motor oil and kerosene. Crude petroleum and carbolineum, when used for the perch pales and nests, are most efficient if applied full strength with a brush, but if it is necessary to use these products for the en tire house, it is best to dilute with kerosene, using equal parts of each. Waste motor oil and kerosene, although cheap and effective, do not have the last ing effect of carbolineum or crude petroleum. Q. How should I cultivate my roses? ( A. Roses respond favorably to shallow cultivation. The upper two inches of soil should be cultivated frequently enough to keep the beds free of weeds and the surface soil loose. Deep cultivation is not advisable. If the weather is dry, roses should be watered thoroughly. This should be done by letting the water run from the hose over the bed for at least an hour. The soil should be thor oughly soaked in this way, then not watered again until the sur face soil shows signs of drying. Sprinkling is almost useless, or worse than useless. To conserve moisture and reduce the labor of cultivation, the soil between the rose plants can be covered with a mulch during the hot summer months. HORSES7 FEET REOUIRE CARE Specialist Also Urges Teeth Be Given Attention . Disease and injury that may prove to be crippling can be prevented by giving special at tention to horse's feet during the stabled period, according to Dr. C. D. Grinnells, professor of veterinary science at State college. Dr. Grinnells said that horses' teeth also need a check-up at least once a year, and winter is an ideal time to have the vet erinarian make the dental ex amination. Brittle hoofs, spongy hoofs, thrush, and foot canker have been cited by the American Foundation for Animal Health as four of the diseases com monly caused by bad stable conditions. These diseases are usually brought about by plac ing horses in excessively dry stables with hard floors, or by long stabling in damp and in sanitary quarters. Clean, dry floors are recom mended as a wise precaution, Dr. Grinnells said. Also the feet of stabled animals should be trimmed at least once a month. Any irregularity or trouble with the feet should be examined by a veterinarian. As for the animal's teeth, the horse's mouth Is so con structed that its teeth wear ofl unevenly. If this irregularity is not corrected, the animal can not chew properly. Digestive up sets may follow, and the horse's cheeks may be painfully injured NOW!

Low Income Blamed For Bad Housing ?Research and Farming", quarterly publication of the North Carolina Agricultural Ex periment station, has just been published and is available to all citizens who request It. The cover picture, which por trays a beautiful country home amid its setting of snow-laden evergreens, points up the lead off article dealing with the housing problem in North Caro lina. Dr. Selz C. Mayo, associate professor of rural sociology at State college and author of the article, writes that low Income is the chief cause of poor hous ing. "In 1939 the net Income per farm worker in North Caro lina was $513, of which only $357 was cash," he comments. Dr. Mayo goes on to point out that farm families often ac tively resist efforts to improve their housing. He cites the iarm er who claims that "a new house won't build a new barn, but a new barn may make a nev> house possible." The farm lam ily too often considers theu house a non-productive elemen. In the whole farm enterprise, ht declares. Some of the suggestions which Dr. Mayo makes for improving | farm housing are 11) laws thai ' will set minimum standards foi rented houses similar to law^ already in effect for city apart ments; (2) long-term and writ ten contracts that will encour age tenants and sharecroppers to improve their dwellings; (3) continued federal aid for rural housing; and (4) community groups set up to study and im prove rural housing. Dr. Mayo's article is one of seven which appear in the pub lication. Others cover such sub jects as poultry breeding, pick | ing cotton with machines, new varieties of muscadine grapes, and steps for controlling Blue Mold in tobacco.

Hint* To Farm Homemakers By RUTH CURRENT Stmt* F*rm Demonstration Agent Excellent dusting cloths may be easily made by placing squares of cheesecloth or solt cloths Into a glass jar contain ing a small quantity of furni ture polish. Allow the cloths to become thoroughly saturated with the polish then remove, allow the excess moisture to dry out, ana excellent dusting cloths will have been created. Pieces of fine, soit woolen cloth make excellent dusting cloths; while next in usefulness are soft cotton (especially knit ted materials) and cheesecloth. Walls and wood trim should be washed from the bottom up, because when water runs down a soiled wall it leaves streaks. It will not, however, stain a wall that has already been moistened and cleaned. If you have stove-pipes, when taking them down place a paper bag over each end and the soot will not blow out Into the room during the process. To clean under the upright piano, take a yardstick wrap an oiled cloth around it and wipe out the dust. To be comfortable on house cleaning days dress comfort ably; have music from the radio; plah for a rest period if you have lots to do; renew your energy or change your pace by stopping to eat an ap ple, banana, or something light, or to drink a glass of fruit juice; change your shoes to rest the feet; plan so that order is restored in some way by the time the family gets home at night. j ' had by writing to the Agricul tural Editor, North Carolina State College, Raleigh.
