October Time To
Seed Fall Oats
Tests conducted by the North
Carolina Experiment Station show
that oats seeded in early October
produce yields twice as high as
those seeded in mid- November,
according to W. H. Rankin and G.
K. Middleton, agronomists for the
station.
In tne tests, seedings made be
tween October 1-15 produced 59
bushels per acre, while seedings
made on November 15 produced
50 bushels.
The agronomists point out that
the number of days favorable to i
soil preparation is> quite limited
after November 1 Rain and wet
soil, both typical of this period,
make late seedings almost im
possible Late seedings also are
more vulnerable to early freezes
Variety as well as seeding date
The fellowship is designed to
help overcome one of the biggest
problems which Moss faced in
his work—that of a shortage of
trained tobacco scientists. This
shortage has become especially
acute with the greatly expanded
tobacco research program in the
State.
The fellowship will be admin
istered through the Agricultural
Foundation of State College.
I is important in producing good
.'inall grain s ie!ds>, say Rankin
and Middleton. Atlas 50 and 60
wheat ate recommended in Coast
al Plain and Piedmont areas and
Thorne wheat is recommended in
the mountains. Arlington oats are
recommended throughout the j
State for fall seedings. Victor-j
grain and Fulgrain are good early!
varieties for Piedmont and Coastal I
'areas. As for barley. Colonial and
Calhoun are suggested
Nitrogen’should be applied to
, small grain between February 15 i
! and March 15 for maximum re-;
suits. The suggested rate is 30 i
pounds per acre, which can be
(obtained from 188 pounds of ni
trate of soda, 150 pounds of Cal
, Nitro of ANL, or 94 pounds of
I ammonium nitrate. Top-dress
I ing after March 15 is too late to
! eet maximum number and size
l'
i of seed heads.
. .
New varieties of strawberries
are being tested in 10 demonstra
tions on farms in Duplin, Pender,
and Columbus counties.
As early as.300 B. C. India had
a law providing a fine for adul
teration of food.
