Pageant To Show Growth
Of Home Demonstration
Thursday evening, June 10, will
be the time for paying tribute to
home demonstration in North
Carolina ? the adult education
movement for farm women that's
beeif 40 years "a-growin".
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.

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."

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

glamorous summer meals, to make

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 |

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".

gram in North Carolina, said a to
tal of $960 in cash, plus valuable
