{state GtOBE I ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: What precautions can I take to lessen the damage done by potato tuberworms? ANSWER: During growth, the potatoes should be kept well cul tivated and deeply .hilled, says James T. Conner, Jr., Extension Entomologist at State College. This practice prevents the adults from laying eggs in the potatoes while they are still in the growing stage. - Since the adults lay their eggs chiefly in the late afternoon and night, it is important that the po tatoes be moved from the field to ? for Aajf, . t h dug, when digging time comes. . QUESTION: What can I do as a poultryman to reduce the cost of feed? ANSWER: Prof. Roy S. Dear styne, head of the Poultry Depart ment at State College, says this is a question as old as the industry itself. It invariably leads back in each case to the same starting point, he believes. Carefully bred stock, which implies stock bred to live, grow and perform, is a big factor, and thoughtful, efficient management by the owner is equally important. Specifically planned grazing crops for poultry is one of the greatest advances the industry could make, Prof. Dearstyne says, pointing out that research has shown that this will reduce feed costs by from 10 to 15 per cent. More care in feeding, by reducing waste at the feed hop pers to a minimum and cutting down spoilage through better feed storage will also result in a saving to you.

(International) FEED GRAIN AND HAY CROPS DOWN RALEIGH, April 2?The State Agriculture Department says that North Carolina farmers expect to make a moderate decrease in the acreage of feed grain and hay crops this year as compared with 1946. Although some increase is expected in the acreage of oats, it will not be enough to offset. the acreage lost due to reduction in the seeded acreage of corn, barley, and hay crdps. ? **- "? * The indicated planted acreage of corn at 2,193,000 acres is one per cent less than the 2,215,000 acres planted in 1946, and eight per cent below the 10-year average of 2, 376,000. The 523,000 acres seeded to oats this season is six per cent larger than last season and is the largest acreage of this crop planted since 1894. A crop of eight per cent is expected in the acreage sown to barley. Current estimates are for 34,000 acres in 1947 com pared with 37,000 acres in 1946. A further reduction in all hay acreage is in prospect again this year with 1,221,000 acres indicated for harvest. This is one per cent below the 1,233,000 acres harvested in 1946 and compares with the 10 year (1936-45) - average of 1,178, 000 acres. The decrease in pros pective hay acreage has been stim ulated by an overall reduction in , the numbers of livestock on farms.
