Question: What is wrong with
ray chickens?
'Answer) This question is an
swered several times daily by H.
Cj, Gauger, in charge of the Poul
try Disease Laboratory at State
College. A small box of chicks
is opened and the first chick ex
amined has his nck so st retched
out that he resembles a girafTe.
The chick is gassed in a small
chamber and Gauger begins his
work with a surgeon's knife. The
Chick of Mrs. R. A. Rcdfern of
Wadesboro. RFD, has a cockle bur
in his caw. The bur came from
lespedeza hay used as a litter. It.
D. Beck of Wake Forest, Route 2,
had the same trouble with his
chicks where he used sand as
Utter. From February 21 to
March 28, Gauger made 141 au
topsies in answering the question.
"What's wrong with my chickens?"
and in 83 cases the answer was
"Pulloruni." Poultry men can not
be too careful in the selection of
disease-free chicks.

Question: How can 1 got
nut-grass?
Answer: Since chemical controls
have not been found practicable,
there is nothing loft but frequent
plowing during the growing season
and growing a winter hay or le
gume crop during the cold season,
says Prof. B. W. Wells, of the
Botany Department at State Col
lege. "For the control of nut
grass, the best authorities advise
plowing or discing every three
weeks and. in cases of bad infesta
tion, this will have to be carried
through two seasons," he explains.
"The deep plowing or discing
brings I lie tubers to the surface
where I hey arc killed by drying
out and also cuts them lice from
the leafy parts of the plant, re
sulting in their starvation."
Question: Mow can I poison
moles?
Answer: Since these pests are
insectivorous in Uieir feeding
habits, it is extremely hard to
poison them, says h. C". Whitehead,
district agent for the Fish and
Wildlife Service, with headquar
ters at State College. He sug
gests that the most satisfactory
means of mole control is through
the use of properly placed mole
traps in the raised tunnel run
ways. The spear type of trap is
used and the ground should be
flattened for about 18 inches and
Ihe trap placed in the middle of
the flattened strip in the tunnel
runway. "For poisoning you might
try some raisins, that have been
soaked overnight, with a bit of
strychnine injected into them with
the point of a knife," Whitehead
says. These can be dropped in
the runway.

Question: What is the best mettl
ed of preventing wire worm in
jury to tobacco plants?
Answer: There is no known con
trol for wire worms, says J. Myron
Maxwell, in charge of extension
entomology at State College. Since
the insects develop under ground,
there is no satisfactory way of
reaching them with an insecticide.
"There is an indication that cover
crops preceding, tobacco increase
wire worm injury." Maxwell says.
"Therefore, leaving the field fal
low during the fall and winter may
lK expected to considerably reduce
the damage from wire worms." "
