methods of blue mold control are re commended by the Extension Service and the N. C. Experiment station. One involves the use of “P. D. B. gas” (pa- radichlorobenzene) imd this is the fu migation lAethod mentioned above. The other employs a copper-oxide spray. The P. D. B. control’is successful both a preventive and a cure for he disease. The spray will not usu ally prevent attack but is effective in treating plants which have become diseased. A free publication is available up on request to county farm agrats or from the Agricultural Editor, State Collie, Raleigh^ It is Extension Cir cular No. 229, "Control of Tobacco Blue Mold.” THE NEWS-JOURNAL, BAEPOBP, N. C. TTHIIRSDAY. JAN. 29th, Question; Can clay brick be made at home for a farm building? Answer: According to A. F. Greaves-Walker, professor of Ceramic Engineering at State College, the man ufacture of building brick on a small scale is almost out of the question under present conditions. In the first place, ^he says, the clays in most sec tions of North Carolina are not suited for brick manufacture, and in the se cond place, brick of excellent quality can usually be bought at a lower price than the cost of manufacture, considering the investment in equip ment. Question; If commercial nitrates continue to become scarce, what can a farmer do to overcome this short age? Answer; G. Tom Scott, Johnson county farmer and chairman of the State U. S. D. A. War Board, says farmers can grow and turn under les- AnD now, with a motor car to every 4 PERSONS WE HAVE MEN ADAPTEO TO THE FUNDAMENTALS dr MECHANIZED DEFENSE. FARM COLUMN MONOXTOE G.4S KILLS - CHICKS IN BROODERS “Keep ’em Laying” is the poultry fanner’s adaptation of the famous wm'-time slogans of today. C. P. Par- lihdi. Extension poultryman of N. C. State College, says, ‘tto keep ’em lay ing, we must keq» ’em living.” He reports that thousands of baby fhirits are killed in brooder houses of North Carolina every year by car bon monoxide (the gas that kills mo torists who start their autos in closed garages). Enough of the deadly gas may accumulate in a poorly.ventilat- ed brooder house, heated by a wood, coal, or oil-burning stove, to kill every baby chick in a short time. “Protecting chicks from death by carbon monoxide is more important this year than ever before,” Parrish declared, “because of war needs for eggs and poultry.” Carbon monoxide chick losses are often highest on cold, stormy nights, when windows and ventilators are closed to protect the birds from cold and dampness. As the burning flame in the brooder stove consumes oxy- -goi, combustion becomes less com plete, causing an accumulation of cor- bon monoxide fumes. Soot collets, increasing production of the deadly shortage of tobacco plant bed cloth, due to the war emergency, will do well to consider blue mold control thi)s year, says Howard Garriss, Extension plant pathologist of N- C. State Col lege. By growing more plants in smaller beds, the supply of cloth will be conserved. It is the general practice of numer. ous tobacco growers to se^ double the amoimt of plant bed space actual ly need^ to produce their crop, Gar riss explained. They do this in order to insure a sup^ of‘plants in case the blue ipold disebse attacks. Even under normal conditions this is an ex pensive practice, the plant patholo gist declared. When the excess plant bed space is us^, it means a corresponding in crease in seed, cloth and fertili^r, as well as labor. If the spray method of controlling blue mold is used, the to-' tal cost per 100 square yards of bed is about $2.45 per season. If the fu migation method of control is employ ed, the cost will run from' $6.00 to $6.50 per 100 syuare yards. Garriss pointed out that only two pedeza and other legume crops to add nitrogen to the .soil. He suggests that farmers buy lespedeza seed for spring planting as earlj^as possible. Because of the war emergency, he urges that farmers who have a surplus of lespe deza seed-place them on the market as soon as possible. Planting lespe. deza will earn one-half unit, or 75 cents per acre, toward AAA soil build ing goal for the farm. Juestion: Can a cow “hold up” her milk? Answer: Yes, a cow can hold up her rrlilk, says Prof. Fred M. Haig of the State College Animal Industry Department, but she does, not do so willingly- The secretion of milk is an entirely voluntary process. ’ This con- dition'is caused by some unusual con ditions around the barn, which causes the cow to become nervous. Exces sive noi$es, barking dogs, unkind treatment, and irregular feeding are almost sure to make a cow “hold up” her milk. Cows handled gently will seUdom “hold.'up” their milk.

BEHIND BANK OF RAEFORD At first the chicks become uneasy, go into a drowsy stupor, their breath ing becomes labored, and their gait .wobbly. As gas poisoning progresses, they appear chilly, gasp, fall, lie on their sides with .heads thrown back and generally die in spasms. “If these symptoms are noted,” the Extension specialist said, “the poul. tryman should remove the birds to fresh air immediately. Even acutely affected birds may recover in a few minutes. They should not be brought out of a warm brooder house into the cold air, but rather into a warm room, free of carbon monoxide. Parrish says that the best insurance against carbon monoxide poisoning is a good no-draft ventilation through Hie lirooder house. '' *■ EXPECT TAR 6eEL FARMERS TO ^P.IinCW^,80Tll^N ^AL North Carolina farmers are expect ed to go over the top in meeting the revised goal for. soybean production in 1942, says G. Tom Scott, chairman of the State U. S. D. A. War Board. New goals for soybeans and pea nuts for oil, together with a floor un der prices for each of these crops, re cently were announced by Secretary of Agriculture. Claude R. Widcard. Hie Nation’s soybean production fnaik was increased to nine mfllion acres and the peanut goal to five mlL lion acres, with 3,4(X),000 acres de- aigaed for oil production and the re maining 1JK)0,000 acres for edible nuts, the same as last year. At the same time. Government pur chase prices were set for sqrbeaiu at $1.^ per bushel, farm basis, for designated varieties of U. S. No. 2 Yellow, and peanut prices were pla^ at $82 per ton for U. S. No. 1 White Spanish type for oO, and $70 per ton lor Claes A Virglnlaa. Both basic prices are subject to location and grade differentials.
