Timely Questions
And Answers On
Farm Problems
Question: How soon can grain and
hay be fed to dairy calves?
Answer: A small amount of grain
and hay should be offered to the call
when aboiu two weeks of age or when
skimmilk is substituted for whok'
milk. This should be gradually in
creased until the animal is receiving
about three pounds of erruin a day at
six months of age when the call
should be weaned. The grain will then
be further increased to provide nec
essary nutritients formerly supplied
by the milk.
Farmers Should Plan Tobacco Insects
Question: When should broodim?
cockerels and pullets be culled?
Answer: Culling is almost a con.
tinual process but where all cripples
and undersized birds have been elim
inated the first culling should be made
when the birds are between eigb". and
twelve weeks old. The birds, however,
should be carefully watched during
the entire growing period a.id tho-r
that lack vigor or are A- in !'
veloping should K disorded.
Question : How much grain should
be fed to laying hens and what part
should be fed in the morning?
Answer: Under ordinary conditions
a flock f HtU hen will consume from
ten to twelve pounds of gram a day.
.Smaller or larger Hocks should be fed
in proportion. In poultry feeding,
mam object is to insure the ben a
full crop before she goes to roost and
for that ii ason one puuml of grain
is sufficient for morning feeding with
1 h remainder of the grain led late
in the afternoon-
Question: Hoes common dogwood
timber have any commercial value'.'
Answer: Wherever cotton, silk, or
wool is manufactured, timber from
dogwood trees is u.-ed for shuttles.
This timber has tile combined proper
ties of toughness, hardness, fineness
of texture, and snioothne.-s, so nec
essary in the production of shuttles,
to a higher degree than any other
wood. Dogwood is also beinu largely
used in the manufacture of bobbins,
spool heads. small handles, brush
backs, turnpiiis, mallets and wood
pulleys.
Question: What kind of -fertilizer
should be used under cantaloupes?
Answer: Ihe h-4-b mixture as re
commended tor tobacco is an excellent
fertilizer for cantaloupes. Best re
sults, however, are obtained from a
combination of well-rotted manure
and fertilizer. About four tons of
manure and S00 to 1.000 pounds of
fertilizer should be applied to the
acre. All fertilizer elements should

taloupes are easily injured by low
grade materials. On poor or sandy
soils a side dressing of 100 to 150
pounds' ot nitrate of soda or its
equivalent should be applied when
the vines begin to run.
To Accept New Deal
While regulations governing the
workings of the new Farm Relief Act
have not yot, been made public, it is
evident that cotton growers in North
Carolina will be favorably affected by
tile operations of the bill and shoulu
be prepared to cooperate t'thc fullest
extent with Secretary of Agriculture.
Henry A. Wallace.
I'll. s is the opiidon of those exten
sio.i workers at State College who
Iraw t;een s.udying the Act in the
hst lew day- and are preparing to
cooperate in carrying information
:: - tit the Act t the people of the
Mate. It is doubtful, '.hey say, that
anything can be done with tobacco
this season but il is a fact that the
co. ton grower ni'-iy be vastly bene
fitted. Only those growers who join in with
the plan will be greatly helped, how
ever. Those who do join should be
preparing to form community and
county a.-sociation.s of growers un
der the guidance of the farm demon,
stration agern and the State Admin
istrator. In the case of -North Caro
lina, this person will likely be. Dean
I. O. Schaub, director of extension.
While it is kn'iwn that practically
all of the cotton has been planted in
-North Carolina, or will have b'U
planted by the time the regulations
governing the -Act have been an
nounced, still it has been .suggesiUMl
'that the Government might make it
attractive enough to growers for them
j to plow up some of the cotton plant-
ed. In other words, say the exten
' sion workers, the acreage to cott on

May Be Controlled
The annual toll by insects of thous
ands of dollars worth of obacco grown
in North Carolina may be avoided by
simple remedies which are suggested
by C. H. Brannon, extension entomol
ogist at State Callege.
For instance, says Brannon, use the
"1 in GO' mixture at the race of 3
pound; an acre on newly set plants
and fr ;in 1 to 6 pounds an acre on 'to
bacco half-grown or larger, to control
the flea beetle. The one to six mix
ture is made by mixing one part of
Paris Green with five pants of arse
nate of lead. The mixture as advo
cated for half-grown plants will also
control horn worms. In both cases,
it is necessary to apply the dust to
the under-side of the leaves.
Bud worms cause considerable dam
age each year and may be controlled
by mixing one pound of arsenate of
lead with 50 pounds of corn meal.
For smail amounts, use 0 heaping
tabk'spooiif ul of the lead to one
peck of corn meal. The poison must
'oe carefully mixed through the meal
and one peck or 12 pounds used per
acre, Brannon advises making the
application early in the morning when
the buds are open. Drop a small
pinch of the mixture directly into the
center of the bud. The bud worm
will eat enough to cause his death.
Cut worms sometimes cause con.
sidera'.de damage to tobacco recently
sic in the field. To control these pests,
Brannon advises making a mixture of
wheat bran, 50 pounds, and Paris
Green, one pound, with enough water
to moisten the mixture. Apply this
at die rate of 15 to 20 pounds late in
he afhrnoon. If a heavy rain oc
curs, the application must be repeated.
For horn woims, Brannon suggests
the one m six mixture as advocated
for flea beetles.

were given the seventh grade pupils,
and the grades were given according

papers.
The names of the pupils making
the three best grades are as follows:

Question: How can I control
-Mexican Bean beetle?
Answer: Magnesium arsenate, wp
plied either. a s a spray or dust, has
proven most effective in the control
of this pes... .As (.he bean' plants ur(
very tender and easily injured, the
exact amount, of this, or any o'thce
poison, should be weighed vei'v
.'fully. Directions for mixing the may.
ne'sium arsenate for both spray ;i:id
dust mixtures 'may: be had by writing

lege, Raleigh. X. (.'.,' and reqiies! injf

. Question: When is the best timf
to plant sojvi an- for hay and seed?
Answer: For best results, the
beans should he ''planted - within tilt
nex.: 'tv. or th' ee weeks. Early plant
ing gives the be. iis ;. 'longer" erowiri
season which, h neivssary for heavy
hay and seed pro luetic n. Late plant
ed beans stop growing as soon as th
nights grow cool and a- a result -the
hay crop, is sm i'l. This applies also
to velvet beat's and farnvvs should
get both crops in as early as possible.
Question: Ile'iv often, should lawn
grasses be cut and should the cuttings-ba
removed?
Answer: After the first cat tins
lawn- should be mowed once each v.eeF
during the growing season. : Car;
should be taken. dtoweVer, not to cut
the grass too close as this will . not
only iniure the grass bu:. the root
system a well, If not cut .regularly
the .grass will: go ,o seed which tends
to exhaust the soil and cause poor
growth All cuttings should be left
on the lawn for soil improvement. If
i leces oi baling wire, metal tags
nails and other sharp or pointed ob
jec'.s cause heavy losses to cattle
owners in North Carolina each season
because proper, precautions are iiot
taken about the feeding quarters.
1 hese foreign hnilwu n f'e"'s are
not of as great economic importance
as some of the infectious diseases but
tiny are an important source of 1ok
to cattle owners." says Dr C. D- Grin
nells, dairy investigator at State Col
lege. "Ihe cow is not to blame be
cause she is a fast eater. She chews
her loot) only slightly at first, rolls
it into an oval shape mass and swal
lows it. Jhus any foreign bodies in
eluded in the feed are swallowed with
out discomlort. However, when the
mass of food is broken up in 'the stom-
acn, trouble begins. Many of the for
eign bodies swallowed cause no trouble
but those having the ability to pene
trate the walls of the stomach do
cause considerable damage
sulerable damage."
Pointed objects such as pieces of
baling wire or nails penetrate the
walls of the second stomach and punc
ture other organs such as the cov
ering of the heart, (hie of the first
indications of , foreign bodies in the
feed js. of course, a digestive dis
till bance, Grinnells says. . Bloat is
olten noticed. Ihe animal shows
signs of pain and the .hack is humped
m- the shoulders winged to relieve
pressure.
Little can be clone in the way of
reatmeiit. IVually it is best, to kill
she. animal' for food if proper inspec
tion oi me carcass. c:i n be secured. ;.
GriniKlls rceoninu nds "prevention as
'he best control. Dairymen should not
have metal brooms about the place;
neit her should they use 'ah.' axe to curt
the baling -wire, or permit '.small, nail

dIucos.
