are tabinng an active put in the onevariety
of cotton improvement program
and the free classing service
under the Smith-Doxey Act, are not
paly making a fine contribution to

He cites the work of W. D. Wpstbrook
of the Green's Creek communis
ty in Pofk County as a good example
of the cooperation between the gianer
and the grower. Five years ago the
farmers decided on QoloeP 100 as the
best variety'for them to grow, ant
each year Westbrook has brought in
pure seed lor his cuatatnersfc This
spring he placed more than ten tons
of special aaed of this variety with
than, to pnovidk aaed plots for next
year's crop. He has also equipped

Weetbrook has encouraged growers
to put their cotton in the proper
condition for ginning, since it is impossible
to do a good Job at ginning
on green ~eetto» or wet cotton. In
apfte oi a had harvesting seaeon last
• year, only 59 bales out of 1,603 bales'
of cotton at the Westbrook gin were
reduced as much as one grade, and
my alfalfa hay?
' ANSWER; Experiments show that
alfalfa hay -nit in the. early bloom
stage produced 23 percent mora
pounds of field cured hay pe# acre
than when eot at the full bloom
Btage. The early bloom hay yielded
M*7 pound, at erode protein per
acre as compared with 877 pounds at
the fall bloom stage. A have percentage
of the h»y in North Carolina
is cut at too late a sta&fr^f growth

ANSWER: Dr. R. & Dearatyne,
head of the Poultry Department at
N. C. State College, says that there
is- no satisfactory treatment for this
disease. Pox i* caused by a filterable
virus and in very contagious in
flocks under one year of age. Young
stock should be vaccinated agate*
the disease and this can be done by
you at small cost. Mortality in the
flock , is usually not high, but egg
production is lowered. Survivors are
immune to further attacks of this

this was due to the cotton being either
-or when ginned, Holler
Weet brook collected samples of
eaefa bale of coton ginned for ftee
government classification under the
Smith-Doocey Act and thus giwwen
were able to determine the grade of
each bale of eotton and its staple
length. They were not only able to
cotton on a better basis
hot they could check it from a aeed
standpoint- Forty-three bales wen
found to pull less taut one inch staple
