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 compelion with cheaply pro duced Oriental teas would not be practical. QUESTION: Is the nitrogen eon tent of the soil directly related te yields of corn? ANSWEH: Yes. Southern soil are generally low in nitrogen Many researchers have found the' nitrogen is the first limiting far tor in corn production. QUESTION: What is a pre-emer genre treatment in regard to treat ing corn with u chemical weed killer? ? ANSWER: A pre - emergence treatment is a spray applied In th soil after the corn is planted an>' before it emerges. This treatment may be considered 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 erahgrass, QUESTION: Does grain sorghum do well in a drought? ANSWER: It has an Inherent; ability to withstand drought. The plants become almost dormant (TTii*tnS! periods when water b scarce and start growing again when supplied with wafer 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 catch crop following fail ure of early seeded crops The grain is generally compared with corn in feeding qualities. It is ex pected thai in a few years North j Carolina farmers will plant nearly] 100,000 acres annually QUESTION: .lust what does the term oil mean? ANSWER: This term is used to express the degree of acidity of < soils. An arbitrary scale was estab- ( lished running from 0 to 14. A 1 nil of 7 0 is neutral?soils with a 1 pH of 7.0 are neither acid nor al kaline. Thus a soil with a pH of i 6.9 Is only very Mitfhtly acid 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 pH of 6.8. The same is true on the alkaline side of the scale, t \ soil with a oil of 7.8 is more al- < kalinc than one with a pH of 7.4. 1 Ol'FSTlOV How can I tell just 1 how much 2,4-f) is In the can I buy? . i ANSWER: It i- on the lable and s is usually referred to as "pounds 1 of 2.4-1) acid eduivalent." Certain t necessary materials must be added i to the pure 2.4-D to increase its 1 ran?e of uses. Some of these ma- t terials allow it to be used in water i and others increase its ability to < "wet" and stick to surfaces. The i actual amount of 2 4-D in the can t is indicated by such a phrase a* i this; "This product contains the 1 enuivalent of 4 pounds of 2,4-D l acid per gallon." i Farm-Home Program Announced Haywood County extension agents today announced the Farm and Home Week program to be pre 'sented at N.

IFive Per 1 Cent' DDT Ideal For ; Dusting Corn j Bv ROBERT SCHMIDT a Some of you sweet corn growers r may be looking forward to the t satisfaction and joy that will be / yours when you sink your teeth in f (he first tender ears. Perhaps the corn ear worms are j also looking forward to that time v ?and they usually get there first. e However, they can be effectively ( controlled with very little trouble. For small gardens it is probably i sufficient and easiest to dust the g silks of the corn with 5 per cent t DDT. The dust should be applied c directly to the silks when about s three-fourths of the silks are show ing and again when a few of them C begin to turn brown. The moth lays the eggs on the I silks and when they hatch out the t small corn ear worm feeds there before he eats into the ear itself. I For large plantings a power spray- j er should be used and a DDT-min- 1 era! oil emulsion is recommended F by our entomologists. This spray n has been found to bo very effective t fo rthc control of the ear worm, t There is a special self-propelled s sprayer designed for spraying six - rows of corn at a time. This has been used successfully by com- (] mercial growers in Florida and Virginia. j And w hile we are on the subject f of insect control let us not forget a the ever-present Mexican bean t beetle. Don't let the beetles seri- 0 ously damage the bean plants be- f fore you do something about it.
