ANSWER: Hybird seed do not breed tree like a purbred variety of corn and in the second generation undesirable qualities that wen covered up in the hybrid may show up with decreases in yield, says Dr? R. P. Moore of the State College Experiment Station. He points out that the N. C. Crop Improvement Association is carefully guarding basic seed stocks of hybrid corns and that these hybrids are undergoing through teats by the Experiment Station. He urgee growers to buy hybrid seed corn only on performance records in North Cartdina, which are given in Circular No. 134. QUESTION: Can* I produce cabbage seed in North Carolina? ANSWER: Research horticulturists cf the State College Experiment Station are testing several methods for producing cabbage seed here and the results of these experiments will not be available until the summer of 1944, says J. Y. Lassiter, State College Extension specialist in horticulture. "We think cabbage seed can be produced in North Carolina successfully by growing a fall crop of cabbage, harvesting the heads for market, and selecting and saving the stalks that are true to variety over the winter go as to produce seed from them in the spring," Lassiter reports. The stalks should be fertilised and cultivated just as if you were growing a spring crop of cabbage. QUESTION: Whan is ths best time to seed lespedeza. ANSWER: Korean or Kobe should be sown between February 1 and March 15 in the Coastal Plain, between February 15 and March 15 in the Piedmont, and Between March 15 and April 15 in the Mountains. Seeding* before these dates must run the risk of being killed by spring freezes, while later seedings may be destroyed by dry weather, say State College Extension agronomists. Volunteer stands often suffer from freezing but there are generally enough seed left on the land to'produce another stand, BISCUITS The exercise the cook gives the dough affects both the shape and texture of baking powder biscuits, report research scientists.

"Back The Attack—Bay Mere Bends' <*t BIRD NOTES George Monk read an article on the "Western Tanager" at the Bird Club meeting, Saturday. The Tvager is a forest Mid and often bu Ids Its nest in firs or pines. It is of flat saucer-shaped structure, ginerally hanging low on a horizontal branch, and is constructed of twigs, grass and bark strips, lined with similar, finer material and horn, hair. Three or four pale bluishgreen eggs, lightly spotted with brown is laid. The Tanager is handsome and striking in plumage and elegant in form. The male is yellow, black and rod and the female is olive greenish, yellow and dusky. Their tails are shorter than their wings. These birds feed their young chiefly on insect*, which they are expert in catching, both on trees snd on the wing, and has a fair claim to consideration at the hand oi the farmer and the orehardist.

SWEET POTATOES Buy certified sweet potato seed stock and improve the yields and quality of the crop, suggests J. Y. Lassiter, Extension horticulturist at State College. When President Roosevelt went into office he installed a new cabinet Now parts of that cabinet need re Lespedeza Teste Give Varied Data Preliminary studies indicate that Kobe and Korean lespedezas yield approximately the same amount of forage under the same grazing conditions, reports Dr. R. L. Lowwrn, in charge of faiage crop investigations at the State College Experiment Station. T. «ts revealed that when planted u^ather, the total yield wan approximately the aame as either variety alone, but Kobe contributed only onethird of the combined yields. Common and Tennessee 76 made much less growth. The yield of a mixture of Kobe with either common or Tennessee 76 «M intermediate between the two. On the other hand, where Korean and common were seeded together, the remit was decidedly different The combined yield waa equal to the yield from a pure stand of Korean, but waa made up of 90 percent Korean and 10 percent common. "Theae results would raise some question aa to the advisability of seeding common or Tennessee 76 with either Korean or Kobe," Lovvorn says. He suggests that growers purchase their supplies of lespedesa seed for planting this season as early as possible because then are shortages in certain areas and seed are hard to get He points out that the need for lime and fertiliser becomes greater the longer lespedesa is grown on * farm, due to the depletion of the soil's natuiml supply ot plant nutrient* by rttnoval of the hay. For this reason it now pays to fertilise leapedesa on lands where formerly it did not' The weak type tt man who falls off of the water wagon is Jw same kind that climbs wagon. i
