Cotton Is Pushed
Into The Limelight
? /
Present conditions have pushed
the much-abused and long-suffering
cotton crop back into the limelight
this year, says J. O. Rowell. exten
sion entomologist at State College.
Especially in tobacco counties have
growers indicated they plan to plant
their full cotton acreage allotment.
For the past two yean. North Caro
lina has produced unusually short
crops of lint.
Since the Triple-A program states
that farmers may market all the cot
ton they produce on their allotted
acres, every effort should be made
to get a good harvest. Rowell said.
Before they can do this, the State
College man pointed out, they must
take steps to control the ever-present
and ever-deadly enemy of the crop,
the boll weevil. If a program of pois
oning is started in time and closely
adhered to, good yields may be ex
pected.
Rowell said that cotton should be
planted as early as the season will
permit. This is the first step in the
fight against the weevil. Then. too.
varieties which will mature the bolls
quickly should be used.
The following varieties of 31-32 to
1 1-16 inch staple are recommended
for the different sections of the
State:
Upper Coastal Plain: Coker 100,
Mexican and Farm Relief.
For the heavier soils of the lower
Coastal Plain: Coker 100 and Caro
lina Foster.
For the Piedmont area: Mexican
Coker 100 and Farm Relief.

US. Census Bureau
Adds Employment
One thin, but very complete, layer
of employment is being laid over the
country this election year, in the
150,000 additional persons the cen
sus bureau will need, at peak of op
erations .to take the decennial cen
sus of population and housing, start
ing April 1. Congress has authorized
spending $55,000,000 for the popula
tion. $8,000,000 for the housing,
counts. About 142.000 of the jobs will
be those of enumerators and super
visors in the field, the other 8,000
added to the force in Washington
The period of employment for those
in the field ranges from two to six
weeks, with longer periods for the
top supervisors?and those going to
work early will probably be employ
ed through 1943, as it will take them
that long to tabulate returns, proba
bly longer. Meanwhile, work on the
new census bureau building goes on
in Washington at an unprecedented
pace, builders on the job 24 hours a
day. and it probably will be open for
occupancy on March 1. It is the first
time the census bureau has ever had
a permanent home.
Solving problems of the 130 mil
lion acres of commercial forest land
owned by farmers is claiming the
utmost attention of Federal and State
agencies.
to form, or when the plant is 5 to 6
inches high, and before the squares
are large enough for the weevils
to puncture.
After the squares form, a good
program of dusting should be em
ployed as a further control of this in
sect enemy.

It's Almost Time
To Plant Garden
Dean I. O. Schaub, director of the
State College Extension Service, il
lustrates the value of a garden by
telling this story: "A man decided to
altemr the horse races, but before
starting out he bought a round-trip
ticket so that he could get home no
matter how much he lost gambling."
The same philosophy should ap
ply to North Carolina farming. Dr.
Schaub declared. "If we are going
to gamble with tobacco and other
so-called ftash crops' we should buy
a round-trip ticket by planting a
garden so that we will have some
thing to eat if we lose our tobacco
bat."
It is lime now to start planting
home gardens in all parts of the
State except the mountain region.
By March 1, it is usually safe to set
out lettuce, cabbage, onion sets and
the hardier greens in the mountains
Elsewhere in the State it is safe
now to plant cabbage, lettuce, spin
ach, garden peas, beets, carrots and
mustard.
"Dean Schaub recommends that for
a family of 7 to 10 persons, a one
acre garden be planted It should be
laid off in 70-yard rows. For a fam
ily of five or leas, a one-half -acre^
garden will suffice, or 35-yard rows.
The number of plants or amount
of seed needed fo ra 70-yard rpw
follows: Cabbage, 200 plants; Top"
ituce, 200 plants; spinach, 2 ounces
of seed needed for a 70-yard row
pound; beets, 2 ounces; carrots, 1
ounce; mustard, 1 ounce; Irish pota
toes, two bushels for 10 rows; tur
nips, 1 ounce; snap beans, 1 pound;
corn, one pound for four rows; to
matoes, 100 plants; sweet potatoes,
200 plants for 10 rows.
New Disease Attaeks
Irish Potato Tubers
Here's a warning to North Caro
lina's Irish potato growers from
Howard R Garriss, assistant exten
sion plant pathologist of State Col?
lege:
A new bacterial wilt disease call
ed "Bacterial Ring Rot", has attack
ed Irish potatoes in 26 states, and
disastrous losses have been suffered
in several areas. The disease is
spread through seed potatoes, there
fore, Tar Heel growers should be
careful where they buy seed pota
toes, and should take definite steps
to control the disease when it is
found
The disease attacks the tubers,

a final loss of the whole tuber Symp
toms in the field are beat detected
80 to 90 days after planting, or just
before the tops begin to dif A rather
sudden wilting of the tops takes place
with final browning and drying.
To prevent spread of the disease.
Garriss recommends that the knife
being used to cut the potatoes be
Sterilized frequently by dipping for
a few seconds in a germicide disin
fectant solution, or be dropped into
boiling water for 41 short time. Ex
periments have shown that if you
cut through a potato wifh ring rot,
the next ten and sometimes more
healthy potatoes cut with the same
knife will become infected.
"If possible, get seed from a local
ity that is free from the rot." the ex
tension specialist advised. "We. here
at State College, will be glad to
furnish the latest available informa
tion on disease-free sources. It is
wise to buy from a State with a good
certification system, and to buy with
a flat money-back guarantee that the
seed potatoes are not infected with
ring rot. If you think the disease is
present, treat the seed pieces by
dipping them into a solution of Scm
esan-Bel or Mercurul (prepared ac
cording to manufacturer's directions)
and dry before planting."
