At piesint it appears that the I iggiet problem is that of feed — principally good, high quality roughage and grazing crops.

Another problem which has In en previously discussed locally but which was touche d upon dur ing Mr. Manning's talk on the -eliool was maintenance.

Barley acreage in North Caro lina is down one-fifth this year at; compared with last year hut yields pi r acre are up one-third, at a r. v , • ru. <1 of 211 bushels per ae’V Am i ace r< i n vii Id- art c-r timati d at 23 bu hi 1 p« i at i One-third el the crop acreage in North Carolina, or about 2 ! 4 million acre s. is in corn as com pared with only 32.000 acres iri barley. State College agronom ists say that many farmers can well efford to grow barley as a “wir.kr 'em crop" because it can ,/e produced with less labor than corn and because it can be grown in the winter and not interfere with many farm jobs in summer. The most important points in growing barley, according to the agronomists, are preparation of a good seed be I. planting the right variety, good fertilization at planting, seeding at the proper time, and topdressing on time. Barley should be seeded iri the Piedmont from October 1 to 213; in the mountains, from Septem ber 20 to October 10; and in tin Coastal Plain, from October 10 to 30. The same seeding dates also uppily to oats. Information as to the best va rieties for the various sections of Nmth Ceroliii" mav he obtained I rum the county agents. Maximum be u fits from top dressings come when they are ap plied so as to increase the .-tooling of small grains, and increase the number of heads. The number of seed heads are already determin ed by the level of nitrogen in Feb ruary and March, and thus top hi e sing should he applied rela tively early.
