Workstock Biilletin
Issued By College
Horses and mules are the largest,
and one of the moat important,
classes of livestock in N$rth Caro
lina. Their value is two times as
great as that of all cattle and calves,
and five times ss great as the value
of «all hogs and Bheep.
With this, and the rationing of
power machinery on the farm in
view, the State College Extension
Service has issued a new workstock
bulletin to suggest better care of
horses and mules on the farms. The
publication is War Series Extension
Bulletin No. 12, "The Feeding and
Management of Horses and Mules."
A copy will be sent free upon re
quest to the Agricultural Editor,
State College, Raleigh.
The text for this eight-ppge pam
phlet was prept^ed by Sam "L. Wil
liams who was Extension animal
husbandry specialist at the college
before he was recently called into
the Army as a reserve officer. The
publication is well illustrated and it
contains suggested grain mixtures
for adequate feeding of workstock.
"Raising of horses and mules,"
wrote Williams, "is a profitable
business when they are used as a
source of farm power and as a means
of increasing the farm income from
the sale of surplus animals produced.
Four good animals can plow four
acres, disc 15 acres, or harrow 30
acres a day in the spring season; do
other kinds of farm work at a pro
portionate rate; and raise enough
-colts for replacements—if properly
managed.
"In this way, the work animals
reaching an age of 6 or 7 yean can
be sold each year and younger ani
mals used to replace them. A good
team of well broken horses or mules
will demand a much higher price
than matched imiro of yearlings or
two-year-olds."
New Variety Of
Tobacco Resistant
To Blackshank
As a result of 12 years of re
search wjrk (1980 through 1942), a
variety of tobacco resistant to Mack
shank disease has been developed, it
is announced by Dr. L. D. Barer of
N. C. State College, director of the
N. C. Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion. Dr. James Fr Bullock and Dr.
E. G. Moes«-are Credited with de
veloping the new variety on the To
bacco Branch Experiment Station at
Oxford.
Dr. Baver said the plant breeding
experiments were conducted jointly
by the N. C. Experiment Station, the
N. C. Department of Agriculture and
the Tobacco Division of the XJ. S.
Department of Agriculture. Seed
are now being sold in limited quanti
ty at the Oxford Tobacco Station.
Sales are restricted to one ounce per
farm.
The seed are being released under
the name, "Blackalwnk Resistant To
bacco, Strains 1, 2, 3, and 4." Dr.
Baver said that Strains 1, 2 and S
will be widely adapted wherever
blackah&nk occurs, bat Strain 4 re

ANSWERS TIMELY
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION; Can peanut meal
or soybean cU meal be used in a
hog ration?
ANSWER: Dr. W. J. Peterson, in
charge of animal nutrition research
at N. C. State College, aaya that
peanut meal or soybean oil meal may
be used as the sole protein supple
ment for fattening pigs with initial
weights of 100 pounds or more that
have, prior to this time, been fed
rations that contain animal protein
and succulent grading. Peanut meal4
in proportions as high as 1 part of
peanut meal to 1 to 3 parts of corn
usually produce soft carcasses, whero
as 1 part of peanut meal to 5 or more
parts of corn produces good quality
carcasses.
QUESTION: What are some of
the species to avoid when planting
trees for Bhade?
ANSWER: A partial list of un
desirable shade trees, as prepared
by John H. Harris, Extension land
scape specialist of N. C. State Col
lege, is as follows: Silver Maple,
Boxelder, Silktree, Lombardy Poplar,
White Poplar, Carolina Poplar, Chi
nese Elm, and American Chastnut.
He emphasised, however, that some
of these trees serve well for purposes
other than shade.
QUESTION: May a farmer bay
materials for homMnixing of ferti
lizer under the Chemical Fertiliser
Conservation Program?
ANSWER: Dr. E. R. Collins, Ex
tension agronomy leader of N. C.
State College, says that a farmer
who home-mixed fertilizer in 1940-41
and purchased materials, is eligible
to buy the materials for home-mix
ing in 1943. He said that fertilizer
dealers are required to sell materials
to such farmers, since the 1942-48
sales are based on practices of 1940
41. Be suggested that efforts to sell
mixed fertilizers in place of materials
should be reported to the nearest
War Prodtjg^itm Board office if the
deaha^is acting against the wishes
of the eligible purchaser in insist
ing on selling mixed fertilizers.

Fad Situation More Acute.
The fact that recently 4,000 men
