Unless the owner can afford to Invest several dollars per acre in the thinning operation and wait many vears to get his money back through increased growth on the pines left to grow, the best thing to do is wait for the pines to thin themselves and take the re sulting growth reduction as part ? ~f the deal. The Agricultural Conservation Program has a thinning practice -et up in most counties to assist in covering the cost of doing this non-commericial thinning. Pay ment is $8 per acre and should on the average nay about 80 per cent of the cost. If A. CP. help can be obtained, the owner of such a thick stand of young pines should ropke ev?rv to get the job done, since the resulting inrease in growth will pay well later. Researchers for USDA are work ing on a tree-shaking machine to speed up fruit harvesting. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q Since controls have be.n voted out, how will the new corn program work? A. Under the new program, 1 there will be no allotments cr commercial corn counties. All corn-producing areas will receive the same support prices. The sup- 1 ports will be set at the average national price paid for the three preceding crops, or 65 per cent of parity, whichever happens to be higher. For example, No. 2 yellow I corn which was supported in com- ! mercial corn counties at $1.49 in j 1958, and $1.12 per bushel in non commercial counties, will be sup ported at $1.28 per bushel in all counties In 1959. Under the new program, however, prices will be adjusted each year. Q. Does it pay to fertilize forest trees? IX so, what kind of fertilizer should be applied? A. These are questions scientists are not prepared to answer at the present time. A large number of sf-umes are under way to obtain information on forest tree fertili zation. It may be 10 years, how ever. before any conclusive results are obtained. The scientists mus& first figure out the mineral re quirements of each tree species, and then decide if the application of these minerals will be economi cal. Q. Does it pay to clip the udder and flanks of a milk cow? A. Yes, say dairy specialists for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service. The clippingsaves time in milking, as welTas time in cleaning the udder before milk ing. This Is especially true during cold weather when the hair is long. Q. Has science developed any practical way to determine the size of a potential steak or chop in the live animal? A. A machine that uses ultra sonic (very high frequency) sound waves to determine the depth of back iat and depth and width of loin eje muscles in chitle and hogs has been developed recently. USDA scientists think the ma chine will be particularly useful in both livestock marketing and ttteeding work. j Q. Is it importnat to get hogs calmed down before killing for home meat supply ? A. Yes. Try to avoid getting hogs excited before killing. Kill only when weatherman says temp erature will stay in low thirties all night; be sure to get a good stick and good bleed lor better keeping purposes; have scalding water temperature 145 degrees (over-scalding sets the hair); if you have a large number of hogs to kill split the job three ways in December, January, and Febru ary. Q. What are classes of milk? A. They are a method used to divide the available supplies of milk for the purpose of paying I dairy farmers and are determined according to the product which is made from the milk. In North Carolina Class I milk Is used to make homogenized and pasteur ized bottled milk, multiple vitamin and vitamin D milk, chocolate milk and cream; Class II milk is used to produce buttermilk and skimmilk; Class III is used to pro duce butter, cheese and cottage cheese, milk powdefs, etc. Q. What should I do if I receive a 1959 cotton allotment for a farm which I dp not intend to operate next year? A. The allotment notice should ! be returned ltfunediatetly to your, county ASC office. The county office will then mail the notice to the person who wil be operating the farm. Q. What recent change has been made in the titles of e-ounty and district Agricultural Extension Service employees? A. The Extension Service man on the county level, long known as the county agent, will hence-' forth be known as County Agri cultural Agent. The county home demonstration agent will be known as county home economics agent. On the district level similar changes are now also in effect. The district farm and home dem onstration agents are now district agticuluiral and district home economics agents. On the county itnl the agricultural ?ent is now clwlrman of the entire county U.\tersio:i iScrv.ee te-im. Ihe4 county home economics agent, is | vice-chaitraun. A similar pattern, now exisits also on the district level. I Q. Kow docs this new "quality index' developed by tobacco re' search workers to evaluate leaf quality work? A. The physical characteristics of the leaf are listed. These in c urie such things as color, size, body, tStture, maturity, physical ,i tactness end cutting quality. Then each of these characteristics , are scored, and the total point-s [or each variety averaged. The I resulting score gives the workers their quality index. Q. How is the best way to store , on irrigation system for the J winter? I A. The irigation pump should be cleaned and lubricated. Worn parts should be replaced. Irriga tion pipes need not be placed une'er a shelter, but should have adequate supports to prevent sag ging. Removable rubber seal gas kets on irrigation pipes should te clcaried of all mud and dirt The sprinkler head should be cleaned and checked for wear and damage. Unless the sprinkler head has a lubricating fitting, it should never be greased or oiled. The sprink'ers are made of rust-resist ing material, and oil or grease will cause the sprinkler head to work improperly. Q. What per pent of North Carolina's commercial forest land is in small tracts? A. Eighty-four per cent. Q. I know that having your soil tested for fertilizer and Ume Is a good practice, but Just how widespread has it become in North Carolina? J A. Last year approximately 20,000 farmers had their soil | tested in this state? a good porvi tlon, but not nearly enough. If more farmers who have their soil tested for lime and fertilizer be-, fore planting the state's farm income would surely get a giant Doost. Q. What is the outlook for fat cattle prices next year? A. They should be about the same or maybe a little lower than ; hose paid for feeders this fall. This should cause cattle feeders to take a second look at their feed ing program*. Only if enough gain in weight is made at low cost will there be profit left for labor and management. Grain constitutes 70 to 75 per cent of the direct I expense of feeding-out cattle and many farmers will find it to their . advantage to buy grain at harvest I time and store for later use. Also compare feeding values of differ ent grains with their price be fore deciding which to use in the i ration. Q. What governs the value o. a market hog? A. Generally, the price Js de termined by what the meat packei can get for the pork and by-pro ducts. Wholesale prices of pork cuts often change dally, usually because of fluctuations in supply and demand, causing the value A different weights and grades Of hogs also to change. Based an changes In value, the meat packer buyer must adjust his bids I for live hogs. COUNTRY SOUP ? It will be good any time? breakfast, lunch eon or dinner. This Is the way to make It!

S. Douglas, forestry \ specialist for the N. C. Agrciul- j turul Extension Service. When an abundant seed supply j is piesqnt, and ground conditions ! favorable, 25.000 or more yuung j pines may be found on an acre. Planting recommendations arc ap- i proximately 700 per acre. When I more than 700 are growing on an j acre, there is not adequate space ! for any of them to grow as rapid- 1 ly as they should. Consequently, | they all grow slowly, and the smaller ones are gradually crowd id out, The dead saplings repre sent growth volume that is not saleable because the size is too small; so, this volume of wood is j joy Christmas records or a TV i program, Creamy Chicken Con somme will hit the spot.
