C'om-hog contracts have been com ing into the county agents office quite rapidly this week- Waynesville is headquarters for seventeen counties: Avery, Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Graham. Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell Mitchell, Polk. Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, and Yancey. AH who have corn-hog contracts unfinished, pease get in touch with the county agent's office at once, as the time may be limited, and we want them ready to go when called for. by the State Department. COMMON SENSE AND LAW URGE CARE WITH FIRES Common sense as well as the law 1 equips care with fire in the woods, says tht, United States Forest Ser vice, in repeating its warning that extreme forest fire dangers exists cow in many parts of the country. While putting up "careful with fire" signs in 150 national forests the Forest Service call attention to the fact that snow in most of the forests of the Western States have been the lightest in many years and that even now drought and fire1 hazard.- are prevalent. A lot of pub-' lie co-operation is going to be needed, it was declared, to reduce the pre vailing high percentage of man-caused fires in the woods. Forty-three states and the territory "f H.iwan have statutes making neg ligence or carelessness . with fires in the woods a criminal offense. Sev enteen -states make tobacco-caused mobiles. Within the national forests Federal laws against tire careless ness also apply. The hot heel from the old briar, the half burned cigar ette and the glowing match all carry peril to the forest and often start tiries costing human lives as well as destloySng lilroptJr'tjy, scenic values, and wild life. A number of tires involving serious damage to forests and property and loss of life this year already have been reported to the Forest Service. In many of the western national for ests emergency guards have been put on duty. Special tire regulations have been put into effect in several of the California national forests more than a month earlier than usual, and closure of certain areas of ex treme danger have been found necessary.

Legumes In Rota tion Make Increase Yield In Crops The alnuvst universal value of leg umes for building up different kinds ot soils is being attested by reports Dearstyne, head of the poultry tie- j,om over the state of increased pi;tment at State College, The cockerel should weigh at least l' or 2 pounds, and be dewormed is not too fibrous as there are many hll .a .Wl'ck Mor .th operation grasses, weeds and certain cereal crops that are not suitable for graz ing due to the fiber content. The bei plan is to plant special crops for birds on range. Complete infor mation on these grazing crops is found in Experiment Station Bulletin No. 282 which may be had by writing to the Agricultural Editor State Col lege. Raleigh. NEW BASE CROPS Farmers who have signed crop-reduction contracts will not be affected this year by the inclusion of six more crops in the list of basic commodi ties. In the contracts is a clause spe. eifying that when a grower signs to reduce onp basic commodity, he must not increase the production of another. At that time tobacco, cotton, wheat, corn, hogs, rice, and milk were the basic commodities. But farmers were allowed to increase the production of othe.- crops, so long as they did not increase the total production of their farms. Since the new commodities beef cattle, grain, sorghum, flax, bar ley, rye, and peanuts were not ad ded to the list until 'after 1934 farm ing plans were under way, the AAA authorities provided that they would not be included this year among the list of crops which must not be in creased when a grower is reducing one of the orgiinal seven basic commodities. Question: Should beans be sprayed or dusted for control of the bean beetle? Answer: Spraying, when properly done, has consistently given better re. suits than dusting, but, when rains are not frequent during the season, dusting will give satisfactory re sults. Both applications should be made to the under side of the leaves as all feeding is done on that side. Magnesium arsenate has proven the safest" and most effective poison when applied either as a spray or dust. For spraying one pound ot the mag nesium should be mixed with 50 gal lons of water and applied at the rate 90 to 100 gallons to the acre. One pound of magnesium and three to tiv0 pounds of hydrated lime make a good mixture for dusting. This i applied -at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds to the acre.

Nowadays you buy a box or a bask et, of .apples and tind them to be uni form throughout, graded for size and coloring and the grade plainly indi cated on the label.

Jiut the movement plainly .shows the growing public in terest in "quality.". . Such birds recover quickly and gain Kipidly afterwards. Mr. llearstyne suggests that the birds be deprived of food and water for 24 hours before the operation in order to clean the intestines. The actual procedure of the operation is described in Bulletin No. 2U0 of the N. C. Experiment Station, which will be sent upon request. For several days after the oper ation, water and .soft feeds should be given and the birds kept quiet so the wound can heal During the first few post-operation .day the bird should have the amount of mash they can eat in IS minutes in the morning. In the evening the feed should be ,,qual parts parts of cracked corn and wheat, as much as the birds will eat in li minutes. Later a range furnishing an abundance of succulent green feed is necessary if the capons are to grow rapidly. Kye grass, lespedeza, al falfa, cowpeas. soybeans, and clovers a:e good. Scratch grain and plenty of water should bt, available at all times. About 2 ounces a day of laying mash should also be given for each bird, Dearstyne says. Plenty of shade is necessary during the hot months. Portable summer range shelters, such as advocated by the State College poultry department, provide an economic and suitable shelter. About 14 days of fattening are re quired to properly finish tht capon. Tours Will Be Made To Fair WHALK ON COAST A fifty foot sperm whale washed ashore on a shoal in the Oupe Fear river about 16 miles south of Wil mington Wednesday- morning- It is now high and dry on Church's shoal and fishermen who found it are mak ing arrangements to niov,. it to a point of vantage where it may he seen. The whale is estimated to weigh approximately 7,r tons. yields when legumes are rotated with other crops. Two farmers of different sections in the eastern part of the state have recently given a good example of how their production has increased when legumes were utilized to im prove soil fertility. H. H. Howell, of Edgecombe coun ty, rotates lespedeza with cotton, peanuts, and oats. In 1933 he made 31 bales of cotton following the growth of lespedeza as compared with 22 bales in 1!'.'12 on the same acreage. In l'J32 the cotton followed peanuts instead of lespedeza. In UW.'i he harvested l.t71 pounds of peanuts per acre, after the toil j had Ln'en built up with lespedeza, while in forme;- years he had aver aged about U70 pounds to the acre. He stated, "Th, rotation beurs out fully my argument that 1 enn make just as much produce on th. land with two years' cultivation with lespedeza as 1 could with three year' cultivation in the old way. I thus save the expense of one year's culti vation and reduc,, the unit cost of production." In ll2i, Ralph ('. Mason, ot Hert ford county, decided that he wanted higher yields or fewer acres. That year he started a rotation in which vetch was turned under for soil im provement. Now he sows and turns under 3T acres of this crop every year. "iiefore I began my rotation." said Mr. Mason, "1 did well to make 12 bags (4S bushels) of pcanutj to the acre. Now 1 can easily make 1H ( leve Sisk. owner of the Sisk Tours, of Asheville, will have tours leaving Asheville every two weeks for Chicago World's Fair. The first tour will leave June 16. These tours give eight days of trav el and sight seeing. Two days going by way of Louisville, 4 days and 5 nights in Chicago, and two days for return by way of Cincinnati. Tihs gives an opportunity to see a lot of the country and to see and visit many interesting placets, besides giv ing sufficient time for sight seeing in Chicago, tind to visit the Century of Progress Exposition grounds. The Sisk Tours offer this all ex pense trip for f:i2.00. which include transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, sight seeing trips in Chicago. 3 tickets to fair grounds, ticket to Fort Dearborn, and street car fares. This low price is only possible be eiuse of group travel. Those who want transportation only may secure a round trip ticket for $15.00. These tours are not like the ordL nary bus trips, but the passengers are lik,, one big family out on a pleasure trip. Miss Lillian Young, who con ducted such successful and pleasant trips last year is official hostess to relieve all care and worries, and to make the t rip comfortable and worthwhile- bags (72 bushels.") II,, also said that it is much more satisfactory to farm in this way than to have the pleasure of cultivating a large acreage of low-yielding land, as he did formerly.
