THURSDAY, MARCH Page 8 THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER 1932 A Pag For Hay wooi ?rmre i pi i i ZZ r- Tobacco Bed Worms Are Easily Killed With Naphthalene Flakes Of Napththalene Found To Kill Even Earth Worms And Snails. Since the announcement recently that Ira Kihlaw, a progressive farmer f the Howellsville section in Robeson County had used flakes of naphthalene to kill the small worms infesting to bacco beds on his farm, about 4.000 pounds of the material has been, pur abased and used in Robeson County alone and the practice is spreading to other sections, reports C- H. Brannon, extension entomologist at State Col lege. Mr. Brannon had a letter from County Agent 0. O. Dukes last week in which the farm agent gave the use of the material his unqualified en dorsement. Dr. B. B. Fulton, re March entomologist for the North Car. olina Experiment Station, has found that the naphthalene will not hurt young tobacco plants even when used in excessive amounts. The material not only kills the small worms bur rowing about in the tobacco beds, but fume farmers report th.it it will kill earth-worm- and snails. The material is the same us that from which moth balls are made, ex pi i in, Mr. Brannon. However, if the balls are used they must be crushed before applying to the led. He re commends the use of about one and one-hall' pounds f the naphthalene to each lull square yards of plant bed. Both Mr. Brannon and Dr. Fulton hav. vi.-it- .1 Mr. Kitilaw's farm to oh.-crw vi' result- which be has ob tained, and Dr. Fulton lias made further tests -inco that time. Both men believe that the Robeson farmer has arrived at a practical .control of the worm nuisance in plant beds and are suggesting - ..that, other tobacco farmer- adopt the idea. Clean And Sanitary Brooder House Most Essential For Chicks A perfectly clean and sanitary brooder house is needed for growing out the. baby chicks bought or hatche ed for replacement of layers in the poultry flock. "Some of the leading poultry grow ers of this State declare that the pre paration' the brooder house is one of the most important steps in the production of healthy birds,'' says C. F. Parrish, poultry extension- spe cialist at State College. "These men have found that the house must be thoroughly cleaned before beginning with the new crop of chicks and if it is portable; the house should he moved to fresh ground. This means -oil tha has not been user! by poultry for at least three yeirs. - To cle.ui the brood"!- house thor oughly.

Answer: Begin preparing the soil as early as possible after the last Iron. Cover the plot or bed with three or four inches of stable ma nure containing very little liiier. Mix the manure into the soil and apply acid phosphate at the rate of one quarter pound to the square yard of bed. This treatment with one or two side dressings of some readily avail able form of nitrogen such'as nitrate of soda applied at the rate of one quarter ounce to the square yard will provide the necessary plant food. Question: How can I protect my baby chicks from worms? Answer: If the chicks are being raised in a brooder, the area under the canopy should be thoroughly denied every day and the litter re placed with clean material. Begin ning the first of the second week, the entire house should be cleaned and this operation repeated every five day.-. If the ground has been used within the past two years as a poul try run the brooder house should be moved to clean soil. Ouetion: How soon can I turn my v.. on new pastu! e? Answer: This depend.-1 upon the '.A'h of the grasses and the condi- i of the sod but animals should ver be allowed f graze a pasture itil the gen-.- biades are fully dc iope i. Too early grazing will in r anv pasture by preventing fur i r growth of the grasses and then, tin- hooves will cut the sod and inianently injure the root system, - a general i ule animals should not turned on pasture before the tir.-t Apri! and' m many ease-, it would ' ' ' er to wait until the.
