Farm j\otes
By W. V. HAYS, County Agent
The farmers in our county who
grow sheep could spend a very profit
able day at the State Farm at We
nona on the 27th of this month. At
9:30 a. m., all sheep growers in ad
joining counties will meet at the test
farm to see the world's champion
sheep shearer and also to participate
in a program on sheep husbandry.
We have a program planned for the
day which should be both interesting
and profitable for those attending.
Tlie program and the shearing dem
onstration will be before noon, and
the afternoon will be devoted to a
shearing school, where young sheep
growers will be taught to handle
sheep and the various types of shear
ing machinery. Lunch will be pre
pared for those who do not wish to
carry their own lunch with them.
Several lots of lambs have already
moved to market. Mr. T. C. Holmes
has been reported to have sold his
early lambs at 9 cents per pound at
the farm. There are one or two more
lots of lambs in Wenona which have
been reported to have brought a good
price, also some lots down the coun
ty. We plan to hold the first lamb
sales in about three weeks.
The necessary forms for making ap
plication for loans on the 1939 soil
conservation payment have been re
ceived in the county office. Loans
may be secured up to 60 per cent of
the payment through our local Farm
Security Administration office. It
will be necessary to execute these
papers in the county office and then
for the committeemen to pass on
them, after which wwill be sent to
the Farm Security office for pay
ment.
Applications for government lime
as a grant of aid under the soil con
servation program are now in the
county office and those wishing to
secure this lime can get detailed in
formation on this at the office. Reg
ulations in this will be the same as
in securing money from the Farm Se
curity Administration, in that a cer
tain percentage of the payment only
can be secured in lime. It is not pos
sible to buy additional lime at this
price or from this source, and in any
case it is necessary that we have as
much as 50 tons of lime in one com
munity. It is suggested that your
neighbors be contacted so as to make
up a carload. This lime comes in an
open gondola car of 50 tons each.
The cost will be approximately $3 per
ton and will necessarily need to be
delivered within three days by the
individual getting the lime from the
car at his own expense or by his own
arrangements. This lime is the same
lime as Mascot or some of the oth
er brands of lime other than it is in
bulk and contains not to exceed 10
per cent moisture.
Blue mold damage in tobacco in
Georgia has been estimated at from
30 to 50 per cent. It is also estimat
ed that farmers sowed approximately
50 per cent more beds than they
would require, so there is no doubt
that they will have a sufficient num
ber of plants; in fact, at this time
most of the crops have been set out
up to the North Carolina line. Blue
mold conditions are reported bad in
practically all sections and in Wash
kenton at St. Marys, Raleigh, last
week-end.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Teel, of Green
ville, spent last Sunday with Mr. and
Mrs. Russell Knowles.

Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Ainsley. Mr. and
ington County the spread of blue
mold infestation seems to be general.
A spray made of red copper oxide and
emulsified cottonseed oil is recom
mended as soon as blue mold appears
or even before. These sprays may be
continued twice a week and after
each rain until the mold is checked,
then an application of nitrate of soda
at the rate of 2 to 3 pounds per 100
yards should be made each five clays
until the plants are large enough to
set in the fields. Covers should be
removed from the beds and left off
unless there is a danger of frost. The
poles and boards around the beds
should be jacked up so as to create a
draft across the bed. All of this helps.
Technical bulletins on prevention and
treatment of blue mold are available
at the county office.

Buy Sheet Roofing That Cannot Leak
—DONT BE FOOLED—
Look For The Name On Every Sheet
You have the privilege to get the best for your
money when you make a purchase, therefore why
fool around and have something offered to you that
is said to be “just as good”. That is what is being
told roofing buyers every day ... If it is just as good,
why not demand the original Chahneldrain roofing,
either in O. H. steel or Cop-R-Loy. Remember the
word Cop-R-Loy on Channeldrain is your absolute
protection against rust—it gives many years long
er service and cannot leak.
Yes, we know there are some brands of sheet
roofing that sell a little cheaper than Channeldrain.
However, when you consider lasting value, Chan
neldrain is the cheapest because it gives many more
years of service than the average 5-V roofing.
Yes, Channeldrain is absolutely leak proof —
when it rains it drains. There is no other roofing
made that has the same drain as Channeldrain.
Now, if you want sheet roofing, demand from
four dealer Channeldrain. And if you want roll roof
ing, demand Wheeling Cop-R-Loy roll metal —
something better for your money.
