Of Interest to ShoaU Seeding Legames * -! S’- ,f E- {■ i IM best time to apply ground ;||iiMelo&e is tiiree months to one year ^ befSore seeding legumes. That is the I advice that Western Nortii Carolina : Jum agents are giving growers, and & C Blair, State College Extension u iagrooomist, says it is good advice for all pails of the state. I'; ^air said that C. Y. Tilson, Btm> cotabiie County farm agent, recently bifq^ed recommendations for cor- ’ reeting soil acidity in the moimtain ' area, as follows: “If lime is applied ' tram tiuee months to one year be- toe seeding legumes, it gives the lime cuiBdtaat time to contact acid in the ^jysoil iNU*ticles and counteract it. “The application of lime to culti- f|l'’vated land should be made after plow- and tiie material should be mh^ed ilil'with the topsoil. Little benefit may 'ibe expected if lime is plowed under being properly mixed with the - topsoiL On pastiures it is only neces- |i;]sax7 to scatter the lime on top of the ^"-^aod; however, better results will be ^nbteined if it can be worked in by fi«:li^t harrowing. ’ ^ *Tor most soils in the moimtain >«re8, the following amounts of lime .'.are needed for various crops: Alfalfa, ;"S to 4 tops pef acij'e; red clover. 2 ■ to 3 tones per acre; pastures, 1% to 2% tons per acre; and general crops, 1% to 2 tones per acre. “The appearance of broom sedge, sheep sprrell, running briars, plan tains, and moss in and around the edge of fields is a good sign that the hmd needs' lime. The use of lime, plus phosphate, applied to broom sedge pastiu’es has resulted in blue grass and white Dutch clover gra dually taking hold. The lime and phosphate restore the soil fertility were there is broom sedge to extent' that the sedge is made palatable and grazed off or crowded out by blue grass, and not killed by lime as is sometimes thought.” COTTON A United States cotton crop of 11,429,000 bales, of which North Caro lina is expwted to produce 588,000 bales, has been forcast by th^ U. S. Department of Agriculture. WATCHING State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Question—When is the best time to seed winter legumes and small grains as temporary pastures for winter arid spring grazing? Answer—The sooner these tem porary grazing crops are seeded after September 10 the better, except in the extreme Eastern section of the State, where seeding may be delayed 10 days, especially if rye is to be used. However, they may be seeded any time during September and dur ing the early part of October. John A. Arey, Extension dairy specialist of State College, recommends Italian rye grass and crimen dover for these temporary pastures. Question—What is tobacco mo^c and how can it be controlled? Answer—^Don E. Ellis, Extension plant patholgist of State College says that tobacco moisaic is a highly in fectious disease, sometimes ^led Walloon or Calico. It. is able to live over in practically all types of na tural or mantifactured leaf tobacco. Sanitary measures, including the a- voiding of handling undiseased plants after handling ^diseased plants, is the best system of control. Ellis says that all plants showing symptoms of mo saic in the field should be destroyed, but care should be taken not to han dle healthy plants after pulling the diseased ones. Ellis also says that the plant bed is the first and one of the most important sources of ' infesta tion, and he strongly urges that no tobacco trash of any kind be applied to the plant bed, and that seed be used which are free from chaff which might carry the disease. Queston—When should hay crops be cut? Answer — Agronomists of N. C. State College says that most of the hay as soon as the pods begin to nearly mature when harvested. They recommend that soybeans be cpt for hay as soon as the pods betgin to form; that cowpeas be cut when the pods are half grown; and that lespe- deza be cut when in early bloom, or when 12 inches high, whichever oc curs first. There is an idea prevalent among farmers that good hay must contain lots of “grain.” 'When the farmer waits for the grain to de velop, they usually lose more T^trients from the stems and leaves than they gain from the seeds.

Hunter, Extension cloth ing specialist of N. C. State College, offers her annual hints on storage of summer clothing. She prefaces her suggestions with this statement: “Grooming of clothing, that Is, keep ing clothes clean, .free from dust, dirt, and odors, and keeping clothing in good repair, is as important as groom ing of the person.” Here are Miss Hunter’s hints for storage of summer clothing: All wash able clothes should be thoroughly washed and mended before storing. Cottons and linens Should be laun dered and stored unstarched because starch left in the fabric for long periods will cause deterioration. All stains should be removed because the substance causing the^stain' often will injure the fabric. Make repairs before storing the clothing so that it can be ttsed as soon as it is unpacked next spring. Tissue paper will help keep the material free from vmikles. Sum mer hats will retain their shape un til next year if they are placed on a cone-shaped stand made out of cardboard before putting them into boxes. Felt hats should be brushed well and aired, but never exposed to sunlight, before storing. ■When slightly discolored lace is stored, home economists recommend sprinkling magnesia lightly on the lacel and wrapping it in blue paper to restore the original whiteness of the fabric. Bathing suits should be washed before storing in order to remove all dirt and salt, which serve to decay the material. Since skirt lengths change each season, it is a good idea to take out the hems of dresses before washing or cleaiung. The washing or gleaning will help remove, the mark made in g ie fabric when it was turned up. ext season the skirt length can easily be adjusted and the fmck will look fresh. This is especial^ helpful for diOdren’s dotiies because they grow so fast from season to BETTER The quality of the 1940 crop of bread grains appears to be somewhat better than that of the 1939 crop, according to the U. S. A^icultural Marketing Service. The rapid increase in the use of cotton riers 1^ ginners in tiie past few yean has stimulated stu^ of of heat for operating of ffo^pyripihapt. Gradiiig Of Tobacco WiU Be IknMNistrated Lloyd T. Weeks, Extension tobacco specialist of N. C.. State College, has announced plans for a series of to bacco grading demonstrations arrang ed by coxmty farm agents of the Ex tension Service, and presented with the assistance of marketing special ists of the U.

However, this does not affect the average farmer in North Carolina. The AAA program provides that every farm may har vest for grain 10 acres of wheat, or 3 acres per family, or the usiial acre age, whichever te larger E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer of State Col lege, says it is very important for all producers who have eq;uipment for harvesting wheat or other small grain, or who can arrange for equipment, to plant these crops this fall. He does not recommend fhat those pro ducers who have not grown wheat commercially to go into the com mercial production of the crop, but points out, instead, that wheat fits in weU with crop rotations and it has always been safe and good farming to producf those crops on the farm that ^e needed for food and feed purposes. Slightly smaller supplies of eggs in the United States are indicated for the last half of 1940 as cpmpared with the last half of 1939, reports the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomice.
