Rehabilitation
Program To Con
tinue In Haywood
The rural rehabilitation supervised
loan program will continue as hereto
fore, under the newly established
Farm Security Administration, of the
V. S. Department of Agriculture, T.
Newton Cook, county supervisor in
rharge of rural rehabilitation work in
Haywood and Buncombe counties an
nounced early this week, following as
surance received from (ieorge S.
Mitchell, regional director of the Farm
Security Administration in Raleigh.
Mr. Cook stated that the Bankhoad
Joncs Farm Tenant Act, which the
Farm Security Administration will ad
minister, provides for continuation of
the rural rehabilitation and farm debt
adjustment work which he represents
in this section and that he has been
instructed to carry on substantially
as before, under the new agency.
Rehabilitation loans accompanied
by farm and home management mi
vice for county supervisors are made
by the government to financially dis
tressed farm families w ho hold Out
hope of making a conn back - whether
on their own land or rented land -but
who are unable to secure proper credit
from other sources to make acrop or
to purchase needed livestock and
equipment.
In addition to the rural rchabilita
tion program which will be continued
as an important phase of the new
agency, the Farm Security Adminis
tration will conduct the tenant loan
program, as provided in the harm Ten
ant Act, for the purchase and improve
ment of farms for selected tenant
farmers, and will complete unfinished
farmstead projects, including those
started by the Resettlement Adminis
tration and those turned over to that
organization from other agencies.
Details concerning the handling of
applications for the new tenant loans
will be announced later by the regional
office, Mr. Cook has been advised.
Land use planning and submarginal
land purchase activities, further pro
vided for in the Rankhead-Jones Act,
have been entrusted by the Secretary
of Agriculture to the Bureau of Ag
ricultural Economics. This means that
former Land Utilization work and that
to be carried out under the new act
will be continued through a Land Util
ization Division under the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, while the
Farm Security Administration will
conduct the tenant purchase and rural
rehabilitation programs and complete
farmstead projects now under develop
ment. Thus, the functions of the
former Resettlement Administration
and those added by the Farm Tenant
Act have been divided between the
Farm Security Administration and the
Land Use program of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, according to
the statement received by Mr. Cook
from the regional office.

Question: Is it necessary to use
fertilizer under winter hay crops ?
Answer: In many sections it is
customary to sow fall crops after
corn or cotton, or tobacco without fer
tilization, it being supposed that
enough fertilizer is left from the
spring application. Some fertilizer
is left and the fall crop will use some
of it, but except on very fertile soil, it
.it but -except on very fertile soil, it
will pay to apply ' fertilizer to the
fall crop. For Piedmont and Moun
tain soils this application should con
sist of 400 .'pounds of. a 10-4-4 mix
ture and for Coital Plain soils the
application should be the same amount
t f an 8-4-4 mixture. W here avail
able, a good. :' of stable manure
may be applied during the fall or win

FOUL TYI'HOII)
In three communities in the county
foul typhoid is present in many of the
poultry docks. This, disease being
contageous it is necessary that each
flock be eradicated of the disease be
fore it can be chocked.
Foul typhoid is a disease caused by
a germ. It is highly contageous and
is very fatal to foul. The disease
may occur at any season of the year,
but it is more prevalent from October
to April. It is not usually found in
very young chicks, but may occur
any time after the birds are fully
feathered out. Foul typhoid is often
confined with cholera and commonly
called by that name.
The birds having typhoid
droopy, the feathers are nifflci
the birds are hot to touch. Tin
parts ale pale and discharge, is
ally sulphur-yellow in color.
A large number of birds usually be
come sick about the same lime show
ing the same symptoms-and die in a
ttw days after the disease sets in.
If from the above symtoms you
think your flock has foul typhoid a
typical specimen should, be sent to
the poultry department at State Col
lege to confirm the disease. If the
disease is identified at the college lalm.
ratory, material will be be sent to vac
cinate the well birds. This material
is sent without cost. It should be
borne in mind that at the time of vac
cination some birds will have the" dis
ease, but will Hot show it outwardly.
Consequent ly, the owner 'must -'expect
some birds to die after vaccination as
vaccination does not cure the 'disease
if it is established. The birds should
be resistant to the disease for about
three months after vaccination, but
the germ will live in the soil for
much longer period of time. There
fore, three vaccinations should be
made at three-month intervals and the
flock owner must maintain rigid san
itation for a much longer period of
time.
A great deal of attention should be
paid to the feeding, as well nourished
birds are much higher in resistance
than poorly fed birds'.- Likew ise, care
ful check must he made at regular
intervals for lice and mite infesta
tion as these devitalize the birds.
Kill all sick birds and either burn
or bury deep those that have had the
disease. Clean and disinfect the house
at least twice a week and all feeding
and drinking utensils daily. Keep a
good germicide in the drinking water
and maintain the sanitation program
while there is any sign of the disease
and for several weeks thereafter.
Quarantine your birds and do not
allow visitors- on the premises nor
visit your neighbor's poultry flock.
If practical, the ground 'on which the
birds have been ranging should be
plowed up and if the birds have been
on tree range the area of about .00
feet around the house shouid be turn
ed under,
Where the disease appears in small
flocks and a large per cent have died,
the remaining birds should be dis
posed of and the ground allowed to
rest for at h-ast one season,
Lime
And Phosphate
Make Bigger Yields
Question: . H-.w -'much time should
elapse after - a enw freshens.; before
she can be put on full feed?
Answer: This depends upon the
physical condition of the. cow,, but as
a usual thing it requires about three
weeks after, freshening before the
animal, is on full feed. The first day's
feed should consist of bran mash.
For the next four day's feed the grain
ration should consist of wheat bran
and ground oats in equal parts. On
the fifth day the cow may be started
on the regular milking ration and
gradually brought to full feed in about
three weeks.
A nine-fold increase in wheat yield
on a Tie Id where lime ami phosphate
were applied has been reported by
L. H. Kent, Madison county farmer.
The soil is of the Ifaysville clay
loam series and lies on a 27 per cent
slope that makes it subject to erosion
unless planted to close-growing crops.
He applied a ton of line and 100
pounds of triple' superphosphate per
acre except on .strips' -he I'eTt for check
plots, said K. A. Haney, assistant
farm agent of the State 'College ex
tension service.
On land where and phosphate
were applied, Kent made a careful
check. From one piare yard he cut
10 full-bodied heads .'that yielded
nir.e ounces of grain. .'."'"'
(In the check plot w here -phosphate
was applied without' lime, he cut 8.r!
heads that yielded five ounces of
grain.-
From the cheek plot where no lime
or phosphate Was applied, he got !0
small, heads that yielded only one
ounce of wheat.
Hahey said that Kent cut the Sam
ples and rubbed out the wheat giains
himself and weighed them on a small
scale that is highly accurate for small
amounts.
The lime paid for itself jn the in
creased wheat yield alone, Kent told
Haney, and the clover crop following
the wheat is more than twice as good
on the limed field as it is on the un
limed check plots.
The clover not only has developed
a much thicker, more luxuriant stand,
but also has a big, strong root sys
tem. - '." .
