SMITH A number of our dairymen attended the Guernsey sale at Hendersonville last Friday. The interest in this sale was very pood. Mr. Earl Ferguson, our good dairyman of Dellwood, pur chased the top animal of the sale. Under our conservation, program for 1936 only about 100 checks are behind. We received this week 131 checks which brings our total dis bursement to Haywood county to date $30,521.34. This could have been con fiderably increased had all our peo ple understood how to make the pro gram mean the most. We are de lighted that 200 more work sheets have already come in for 1937 and others are coming in every day. Those who intend to be in the program for 1937 and who were not in the pro gram for 1936 should see to it that a work sheet is made out before June 1. Remember June 1 is the closing date. Mr. W. A. Corpening, assistant county agent, is out of the county this week attending the state conference at Manteo, N. C. He will return Mon day. The county agent and assistant county agent, S. R. Mitchiner, will be out next week for the same purpose. This is the first time the spring con ference has been held in Eastern North Carolina. istered pigs here in the county. They are 5 or 7 weeks old now and those who wish to have good animals for breeding purposes should purchase these registered pigs. We are having a good many calls for pigs these days. We are not able to supply these calls. If you have pigs to sell, please let us know about it. We are glad that we have a few reg- Indications Are Increase Acreage In Burley Crop On recent inquiries it is indicated that there will be an increase in acre age of burley tobacco in Western North Carolina. The growers seem to have sowed sufficient plant beds for an increase. While the plants are small and being damaged to some ex tent by insects it is very evident that some increase in acreage will be set out. According t0 the report of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, the mountain counties of Western North Carolina produced approximate ly six million pounds of burley tobac co last season, and the income to the growers from last year's burley pro duction was over $2,000,800. Burley tobacco is one of the most important money crops of Western North Carolina, according t0 the acre age planted, and in the face of three short tobacco crops, and with increas ed consumption of burley tobacco, the prospects are very promising for good prices this coming season. Although as yet this has not been verified, it is generally reported that by the opening of the 1937-38 to- Uncle jltn Satjs TIMELY Farm Questions and Answers By planting trees on poor, hilly land you can stop gullies and produce fu ture income. Once A Millionaire, But Died In Poverty An old woman froze to death about two years ago in a shanty inside the famous Matchless Mine, in Leadville, Col. The woman as "Baby Doe" Taber had once been a Denver social leader, had been a beauty too. At her wed ding to Senator H. V. A. Tabor in 1883, her dress was said to have cost $7,000. President Arthur was on hand to toast the bride. Her husband had made $10,000,000 out of the Match less Mine. But he squandered his fortune and he died practically pen niless, but left instructions that his wife must hold on to the mine. She followed his advice, and legend has it that she often defended it with a shot gun, but she died leaving only a few trunks with momentos of other days. Last week it was announced that the Matchless Mine had been leased by its present ofwners, and miners would again seek wealth in its hidden treasures. baccd season there will be at least another large modern warehouse on the Asheville tobacco market. Question: What is the best control for cabbage worms? Answr: Rotenone dust will, in all probability, give the best control. The dust should contain about 75 per cent of rotenone and the first application should be made just as soon as you see the first small white butterfly in the cabbage field. Dust as often as worms are found and be sure and get the dust down into the center of the plants. This dust will also control bean beetles and should be applied when the first cluster of eggs are found on the underside of the bean leaves. For bean beetles the dust should be ap plied under the leaves and not on top. Question: Is there any cure for Bumblefoot in chickens? Answer: Where the trouble is not too severe it is possible td cure it by making an incision in the injured foot and carefully removing the in fected material. The area should then be sterilized with iodine and ban daged and the bird kept closely con fined while the wound is healing. How ever, unless the bird is of exceptional value no cure should be attempted as these attempts in the majority of cases are unsuccessful. . .

Question: When is the best time to treat sheep for stomach worms? Answer: Drenching for stomach worms should begin about June 1. As a usual thing one or two treatments are sufficient for mature animals, but in cases of severe infestation both the lambs and ewes should be drench ed every two to four weeks until frost. Keep the animals to he treat ed off feed for 24 hours before and feed and water for five hours after drenching.
