ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION ? Will hybrid corn
do well on bottomland?
ANSWER ? A large amount of
nitrogen is naturally available in
bottomland^. It appears that in
some cases farmers have failed to
balance this nitrogen properly with
phosphate and potash, and as a re
sult have obtained an increased
growth in stalk and blades with
out an increase in ear. If farm
ers are to get good grain yields
from corn grown on bottomlands,
they must provide plenty of pot
ash and phosphate. Earle Brint
nall, Catawba county agent, says
Austin Leatherman, farmer of the
Plateau section, had three acres of
yellow hybrid corn on a bottom
land last year and it averaged 75
bushels of shelled corn per acre.

' season when the corn was silking

ed), 1 to 2 cups soap, 1 hot rinse,
1 lukewarm rinse,- '1 cold rinse,

Omit Ironing If You Wish:)
Turkish towels are more absor
bent if not ironed. Most nylon gar
ments drywith a very satisfactory
finish and do not require ironing.
Dry seersucker garments on hang
ers, smoothing and shaping while
wet,,then only seams need be pres
and tasselling, the crop probably
would have yielded more than 100
bushels to the acre.
QUESTION ? What per cent of
U. S. farms have electricity avail
able?
ANSWER ? According to the
last official estimate, 3Va million
farms, or 61 per cent, had electric
power available on June 30, 1947.
Two and a quarter million farms,
or 39 per cent, did not have elec
tric service on that date.
QUESTION ? Will the supply
of insecticides be plentiful this
year?
ANSWER ? The U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture says that while
the supply of a number of insecti
cides probably will be sufficient
to meet the needs this year, in a
few cases there may be tight sup
ply situations toward the end of
j the growing season. Therefore, all
i prospective users are advised to
! buy their insecticides as early as
they can. Early orders will help
suppliers anticipate the demand.
