William Neal Reynolds Coliseum at State College will be the scene of the unweaving of the home dem onstration story. A two-act pageant entitled "Green A' Growin," writ ten by Mrs. Emily Selden and Mike Healey of Chapel Hill will be put on by the home demonstra tion women of North Carolina. Counties in charge of the vari ous scenes are Sampson, Madison Johnston. Mecklenburg, Anson, Pamlico. Durham and Currituck. There will be glimpses into early farm homes, visits to canning club day, to community picnics, to' early curb markets, to dressmak ing clinics, and to county council meetings as the home demonstra tion story unfolds. Included in the pageant will be both the humorous sidelights and the more serious episodes that have contributed to the advancement of home demons tration work in North Carolina. Also playing an important part in the pnecant will be the Stale Home Demonstration Chorus, directed by Dr. Arnold Huffman, public school music supervisor. Serving as narrator for "Green A' Growin" will be Mrs. Effio Vines Gordon, oioneer home demonstra tion a vent in Nash County. "Green A' Growin" will close the 1954 Farm and Home Week Program in Raleigh. North Carolina faVmers planted IG.OdO less acres of peanuts in 1953 than a year earlier. North Carolina soils need about 4.000,000 tons of lime for top pro duction: another 1,000,000 tons will be required annually.

KELMET RF.AI. ESTATE GL 6 - 3631 State College Answers Timely Farm Questions QUESTION: Can tea be crown successfully in North Carolina? ANSWER: The tea plant can be grown in North Carolina but the state i? certainly on the edge of its survival range. It will probably survive, but not grow very well. In general one might say that where camellias grow, tea can grow also. The prospects of marketing North Carolina grown tea would seem to be slim. Attempting to grow tea in an area where it is not ideally suited, and then trying to market it in competion with cheaply pro duced Oriental teas would not be practical. QUESTION: Is the nitrogen con tent of the soil directly related tc yields of corn? ANSWEK: Yes. Southern soil are generally low in nitrogen Many researchers have found tha' nitrogen is the first limiting lac tor in corn production. QUESTION: VVhat is a prr-emer gence treatment in regard to treat ing corn with a chcmiral weed killer? ? ANSWER: A pre - emergence treatment is a spray applied to th soil after the corn is planted an'1 before it emerges. This treatment may be eonsidered as "insurance" that weeds will not over-grow seed ling corn, particularly in bottom land during a wet season. At rec ommended rates, the chemical 2.4-D will not control established perennial grasses such as Johnson grass, Bermuda grass and quack grass. While present in the soil 2.4-D will destroy most germinat ing seeds, including crabgrass. QUESTION: Does grain sorghum do well in a drought? ANSWER: It has an inherent; ability to withstand drought. The plants become almost dormant "rtTifliiir periods when water is! searre and start growing again when surolled with water. This one feature has' allowed the grain sor ghums to compete favorably with other summer crops during dry weather. The sorghums may be used as a ratch crop following fail- j ure of early seeded crops The grain is generally compared with' corn in feeding qualities It is ex pected that in a few years North' Carolina farmers will plant nearly 100,000 acres annually. QUESTION: .lust what docs the term nil mean? ANSWER This term is used to express the degree of acidity of i soils. An arbitrary scale was estab- i lished running from 0 to 14. A nil of 7.0 is neutral?soils with a l>H of 7.0 are neither acid nor al kaline. Thus a soil with a pH of 6.9 Is only very Slightly acfd and ' one With a pH of 7.1 is very slight ly alkaline. Also a soil with a pH of 6.4 is more acide than a soil with a nil of 6.8. The same is true on the alkaline side of the scale, i \ soil with a nil of 7.8 is more al- i kaline than one with a pH of 7.4. QUESTION: How can I tell just how much 2,4-1) is in the can I buy? , ANSWER: It is on the lablc and is usually referred to as "pounds of 2.4-D acid eouivalent." Certain necessary materials must be added to the pure 2.4-D to increase its ran"e of uses. Some of these ma terials allow it to ho used in water and others increase its ability to "wet" and stick to surfaces. The actual amount of 2 4-D in the can is indicated by such a phrase a?r this: "This produet contains the equivalent of 4 pounds of 2,4-D acid per gallon."

Ailiil.tllW.MiM Five Per Cent DDT Ideal For Dusting Corn By ROBERT SCHMIDT Some of you sweet corn growers may be looking forward to the satisfaction and joy that will be yours when you sink your teeth in the first tender ears. Perhaps the corn ear worms are I also looking forward to that lime ; ?and they usually get there first. , However, they can be effectively | controlled with very little trouble. For small gardens it is probably I sufficient and easiest to dust the silks of the corn with 5 per cent I DDT. The dust should be applied j directly to the silks when about three-fourths of the silks are show , ing and again when a few of them begin to turn brown. The mom lays me eugs on me silks and when they hatch out the small corn ear worm feeds there before he eats into the ear itself. For large plantings a power spray er should be used and a DDT-min eral oil emulsion is recomrnended by our entomologists. This spray has been found to be very effective t'o rthe control of the ear worm. There is a special self-propelled sprayer designed for spraying six rows of corn at a time. This has been used successfully by com mercial growers in Florida and Virginia. And while we are on the subject of insect control let us not forget the ever-present Mexican bean beetle. Don't let the beetles seri ously damage the bean plants be fore you do something about it. As soon as you see some of the beetles?they are large brown or vellow lady bird beetles with six teen spots on their wing covers? or as .soon as you notice that some of the* bean leaves have been eaten so that they resemble a piece of lace, it is time to get busy. The best control in the home garden is a 1 per cent rotenone dust. Since the beetle feeds on the undersides of the bean leaves the dust must be applied to the undersides of the leaves to be effective. Rotenone is not toxic to humans and there fore may be used without, danger even after the bean pods have formed. There'll Be A Milk Treat I At Farm and Home Week i Want to know how to prepare glamorous summer meals, to make tempting desserts?all in a cool kit chen this summer? Then there's an "extra'' at Farm and Home Week this year that you won't want to miss. It's the big Dairy Foods Exposi tion to be held as a part of June Dairy Month. Though it's being planned principally for homemak ers in the Raleigh area, women from all over the state attending the Farm and Home Week program are invited to take advantage of what the exposition offers. Guest demonstrator at the ex posiion will be Mrs. Miriam Kelley, marketing and consumer informa tion specialist with Kentucky Ex tenson Service. Rita Dubois and Virginia Wilson of State College and York Kiker of the State De partment of Agriculture will assei Mrs. Kelley with her demonstra j tions. Exhibits urging the use of more milk and milk products will be set up at the exposition and there will be free ice cream samples for all. There will be four grand " Milk j i Bar" prizes including a milk mix er, an ice cream dipper, and 100! empty cones. Every lOtli person in . the audience will also receive a special door prize. This Dairy Ex position, sponsored by four of the leading milk and ice cream dis tributors of Raleigh, will be held 1 on Wednesday afternoon. June !) in the Textile Building on State \ College Campus. Gov. Umstead To Present Church Betterment Awards One of the highlights of the 46th | annual Farm and Home Week at I N. C. State College, June 7-10, will | be the presentation by Gov. Wil-; Ham B. Umstead of awards in the 1953 Town and Country Church Development Program. The governor will present cash awards and certificates to the 10 rural churches in the state making the most progress during the period April 1, 1953 to April 1, 1954. The first place church will be named "Rural Church of the Year'' in North Carolina and will compete with winners from 12 other South ern stales for the title, "Rural Church of the Year in the South". L. R. Harrill, state 4-H Club leader ^nd X'hairman of the pro gram in North Carolina, said a to tal of $960 in cash, plus valuable certificates of merit will be pre sented in the special exercises. Last year- Pitt County's tiny Red Oak Christian Church won the North Carolina contest and $500. In all, more than 200 churches par ticipated in that contest. The Town and Country Church Development Program is sponsored jointly by Emory University, At lanta, and the Sears - Roebuck Foundation, in an effort to pro mote progress and development of i the thousands of rural churches in the South. Winning churches are selected on the basis of "which did the most with what they had." The presentation ceremony will take place at 11 a.m., .lunc 8. in William Neal Reynolds Coliseum on the State College campus. i Use the Want Ads for results A JOB WITH A FUTURE!
