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. P. Ewing, who is
in charge of cotton insect research
for the U. S. Department of Agri
culture.

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

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.

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.
