FARMERS URGED TO PLANT 'SWEET CORN' Depot Street Waynesville Except in the mountain section, the name "sweet corn" has little signifi cance to farmers and market garden ers of North Carolina, says Robert Schmidt, associate horticulturist of the Agricultural Experiment Station at State College. In other sections of the state, the familiar type is "roasting ear" corn which is usually an early variety of field corn picked while comparatively young. There is no comparison between the quality of real sweet corn and that of young lield corn, Schmidt says, sweet corn is far superior, both in sugar content and in tenderness. General opinion for many years has held that',' sweet corn could not be grown successfully in the -South. Some of the older varieties were not well adapted, but with the breeding of new hybrids, there is now a large number of good varieties on the market. In field tests at Raleigh, the most outstanding variety was Golden Cross Rantam. Other good varieties are Whipeross, Spaneross, and. Bantam Evergreen Hybrid. Olio of the best of the new vhite varieties in Retl green Hybrid. . Sweet corn is grown in much the same manner as new corn, aruvougn it prefers richer soils. Having ti small stalk, it can be planted closer Rows should be spaced 3V4 feet ap-irt and hills 20 to 24 inches apart in tfce row.

This is 53,000,000 pounds less than the 403, 000,000 pounds grown and sold last year. The 1937 crop was considerably in excess of consumption, and it was feared that another crop in 1938 would demoralize the market. COUNTY. AGENTS Some Havwood countv tobacco growers have reported blue mold on tobacco Dlnnts. The inlurv is sheht at the present time, but it is well to consider control measures, although a positive control has not been found up to this time. Direct sunlight should be admitted whenever possible and moderate ap plications of nitrate of soda appear to aid in the recovery of diseased plants Diseased plants siiould not be set until they have recovered to the ex tent that new leaves and roots have been formed. In a bulletin on plant diseases, Dr. Luther Shaw, Extension Plant Path ologist from State College, Raleigh, makes the following spray recommendations: USED GARS 1935 Ford Coach . ... . . $365 1934 Chevrolet K ton pick-up . . . $265 1933 Ford Coach $245 1932 Plymouth Sport Coupe . ...$145 1931 Model "A" Coach . .... .. .$155 1931 Chevrolet Coupe $165 1931 Chevrolet Coach ....... ...$155 1930 Model "A" Coach ....$145 COMPARE THE ABOVE PRICES AND THEN COM PARE THE ABOVE CARS. Watkiris Chevrolet Co. WATN ESVILL E , N C . V i Spray Treatment One of the most promising sprays has been tested thus far consists of a mixture -Of .cuprous oxide, lethane spreader, cottonseed oil, and water. (a)Muterials for mixing 50 gallons of spray mixture: Une-Haif pound of cuprous oxide (red copper oxide), one quart of lethane spreader, and one-halt gallon-, cottonseed oil. b) How to mix: Moisten the cuprous oxide with just enough lethane spreader to make a dough Mix the quart of lethane spreader and a'-half gallon of oil by stirring thor oughly. Add two or three gallons of water. By the use of a bucket pump with nozzle attached, pump the eon tents of the pail into another contain er. This process breaks up the .oil into fine particles and stabilizes the emulsion. Wnen properly emulsified the oil is milky white in appearance. Add water and the copper oxide sus pension to the spray tank containing about 25 gallons of water, then add water to bring the total volume to 50 gallons. Make up only enougn for one ap plication and use immediately. A barrel sprayer Capable of maintain ing over 100 pounds pressure is pre ferable to hand sprayer. If this is not available use a bucket pump. Do not pour on the spray with a bucket or sprinkling pot. Apply the spray through a, nozzle capable of throwing a fine mist or fog, and use enough to wet or moisten the foliage. Turn the nozzle sideways, alternating from side to side, so as to cover as much of the lower leaf surface as possible. About 2.5 gallons will cover 100 yards of bed one time when the plants are small. Large plants will require from 5 td :7.5 gallons per 100 yards. J)l rections should be followed to the letter. - ger from the disease is past or until the plants are ready to set. Spray small plants only once a week in cold weather; and also avoid heavy appli cations to small plants in cool weath er, as this may cause injury. Con tinue spraying through the blue mold outbreak. Best -''results have been obtained where the plants were spray ed twice a week during periods when the plants were growing rapidly. Apply the spray only when the fol iage is dry and the cover removed. Vocational Boys Studying Poultry Have Incubators Set Up At High School To Hatch 1000 Eggs MASON'S IN RALEIGH " A number of Ma wood county are attending th? r : Lodge of North Carolina i Wis week. Tho Tuesday. ." A colorimeter is used 'a tsk, Members of the local agricultural department are receiving pract'eal work in incubation of hen eggs. The department has incubators set up in one of the buildings at school and the boys have brought in a thousand eggs, sufficient to fill the incubators, to be hatched. Some time was spent t in the classes on the theory of incu bation and the care and operation for three or four days before eggs were placed in them; during this time the members became familiar with the machines and their care. Two boys from each class are as signed every day to care for ad op erate the machines. The present hatch will be off about the time school is out and it is not likely that another will be started this spring, since this would require some person on duty at all time.
