College Offering^ Special Training The State College Agricultural 'Extension Service will offer a course to train technicians to serve county artificial breeding associa tions, March' 7-12, according to T. C. Blalock, dairy specialist. Blalock said breeding associa tions ate continually having open ings for technicians; in many cases they haven’t been able to find trained men within the state. Men interested in taking the training should contact their county agent Jor details. B Blalock said associations that ^ave only one technician would do well to send a man to the course. “Every association needs at least one trained assistant who can fill in occasionally for the regular in seminator,” he said. - More Research on Insects Is Needed Despite new insecticides and im proved control methods, cotton growers are little better than hold ing their own against insect pests, according to K.

C. % $ :J# Woodpecker Good Bird For Tree$ Possibly one of the best known of all orchard, street-tree, feeding station birds is the downy wood pecker, a smaller relative of our subject — the hairy woodpecker When one remembers that hair is longer than down, it is easy to re member that the hairy woodpecker is longer than the downy woodpeck er. A hairy woodpecker may be to 10 1/2 inches long while a downy is only about seven inches long. Both are essentially black and white birds. Each has white outer tail feathers though those of the downy may be faintly barred or marked with black spots while those of the hairy lack such mark ings. In each of these birds the male differs conspicuously from the fe male by having a red spot at the back of the head or the nape but the matter of size should ordi narily be enough of a character to establish the proper identity. Hairy woodpeckers like their rel atives are for the most part bark gleaners. They do not ordinarily seek ants on the ground as do the flickers nor do they ordinarily pur sue insects in flight as do the red headed woodpeckers. Instead they attend strictly to business and that business is the removal of. insects in the bark and dead wood of trees. They have neither the vigor nor the implements with which to j compete successfully with the pi HAIRY WOODPECKER ©1954 National Wildlifa Federation leated woodpeckers in this con nection but they do their best and they are to be found where the larger pileateds are not to be: found. Without them, the insects that at tack the dead wood in orchards would have a field day. Without such dead wood the woodpeckers would be likely to seek it else where. » There are 13 subspecies of hairy woodpeckers ranging from Alaska to Newfoundland and south to Flor ida and Lower California. They are resident birds perfectly able to sur vive in either winter or summer and therefore find it unnecessary to go to the trouble of migrating. The nest is built in a hole in a dead tree trunk or branch. The en trance is about two inches across and the depth of the nest hole about 16 inches. Usually the nest is from five to 50 feet above the ground. In the nest the female lays three to five shining white, inch long eggs. They are incubated for 14 days by both parents. Care of the young is shared by the parents, too, and while the young do not closely resemble the adults at first they soon do so. There is usually but one brood a year. Careful studies of the food habits of hairy woodpeckers indicate that over three-fourths of the food is insects incliiding grasshoppers, hairy caterpillars, gypsy moths and ants as well as the wood-boring in sects which they are eminently fit ted to catch. The remainder of the food is vegetable matter including nuts and seeds. The individual range of a hairy woodpecker is only a few acres if suitable food and nesting sites are available. These birds will nest in suitable boxes, will visit feeding ' stations supplied with suet and will generally please those who must study their birds from inside a house. The National Wildlife Fed eration recognizes these birds as useful in the process of interesting people in birds generally. —E. Laurence Palmer.

Live poultry prices were steady to stronger in the Central North Carolina area. Fryers apd broilers advance 1 1/2 to 2 cents per pound and heavy hens were steady to one cent higher. Farm pay prices for fryers and broilers were reported at 26 1/2 cents per pound and heavy hens at 18 to 20. Fryers were generally weaker in other leading areas of production. Closing farm pay prices were reported at 24 1/2 to 25 1/2 in the North Georgia area; at 24 to 26 in the Shenan doah Valley and 26 1/2 to 30 1/2 in the Delmarva area. Eggs were unchanged this week on the Raleigh market with local grading stations paying 38 to 40 cepts per dozen for A, large; 35 for A, mediums and 32 for B, large. Durham also reported a steady mar ket for eggs with A, large at 39 to 41 cents; A, mediums at 32 to 34; and B, large at 33. New York reported a dull mar ket for sweet potatoes at the close with bushels of Porto Ricans from North Carolina wholesaling at 4.75 to 5.00. ‘•*> Soybeans were irregular at local grain markets during the week Too Much Fertilization for Pastures Aids June Beetles! * You can probably hold down damage to pastures by June beetle grubs quite a bit by avoiding ex cessive amount of barnyard man ure when fertilizing. Insect specialist J. R. Dogger of the North Carolina Experiment Station has noticed that pastures damaged the worst by June beetle grubs also had been most heavily manured. Over-stocking with too many animals per acre also re-; suits in excessive manure.. For some reason, manure seems to attract the beetles when they ’re flying in June and July. They pick the heaviest manured fields and lay their eggs there. Then grubs develop and do their dam age underground for the rest of the summer. i Most farmers do not notice fhe damage until late summer and it’s while corn, wheat and oats were about steady. Closing prices for No. 2 yellow soybeans were reported! at 2.70 to 2.79 per bushel. No. 2 yellow corn closed at 1.55 to 1.65 per bushel in the eastern part of! the state and at 1.70 to 1.75 in thei piedmont area. No. 2 white corn j was reported at 1.50 to 1.60 in the eastern markets. No. 2 red winter wheat brought 2.10 to 2.25 per bushel; No. 2 red oats 85 to 90 cents per bushel and No 2 yellow milo 2.75 per hundred pounds. The price of cotton advanced 1.05 per bale on the nation’s 14 leading markets this week. Mid dling 15/16 inch averaged 34.10. cents per pound on Friday. This compares with 33.89 last Friday and 33.30 a year ago. .... — - - fall before they decide to treat with chemicals to kill the grubs— after the damage is done. Thus,; fanners do not get their money’s V worth from treating. j The ideal time to apply chemi-( ,J cals is before seeding. This is es pecially true if you’re reseeding an old pasture that’s been ruined by June beetle grubs before. Five to six pounds of chlordane in dust or granular form is recommended ' now in North Carolina. Other long- * lasting, chlorinated hydrocarbons have also given good results. For established pastures, the earlier, you discover grub injury, the better off you are in control ling it. You’re also farther ahead to put on a long-lasting chemical like chlordane. It takes about 45 days to kill all the grubs it’s go ing to kill. But chlordane. stays in the soil much longer and may prevent damage the next year, too. Prevention is best though—avoid heavy applications of barnyard manure. ^&HfeMaytegj Automatic umhen uthnmatdanaHe^ : ■ Vwaterlwel ^_Control! L J.
