Cunv Aent J. A. ViN--ir. of the State Col leg- Extension Serv'je -:iv th:! the fa. .ners of Polk Cou..o grew &hurt staple, poor-quality cotton in 19;i3 when the one-variety plan was launched. Tht re was no seed re newal program. Most of the farmers planted their own seed or purchased them from neighbors. The few grower who were plan'ing improved seed received no premium for their cotton and there was little incentive for .nvet:ng hard turned money in bet'er planting seed.

North Carolina peanut grower du- ted abut 20, 000 acres of peanu's last year with sulphur and copper- j .sulphur dust at a cost of about $(;, tm and the returns were approximately : SH75.750 for the practice, says Howard Garns., in charge of Extension plant ; pathology at State College. 1 Field demonstrations gave a gain of 39.1 pounds of nuts per acre and abo:; oi'O pounds of extra hay for the ducting treatments which cost an a verage of $3 per acre. The aver age gain for dusting over a six-year period has been approximately 300 pounds of peanuts per acre and the extra hay has just about paid for ,all dusting expensts, according to , Carries. J Not only did growers make consid erable money from dusting their pea , nuts but also much food, oil. and cat jle f cd was added to the dwindling supplies needed for war. Gams es timated the extra peanuts at abo'it 6 : million poun :s. j This ytar peanuU are at the top of the l.; of needed war supplies and , farmcs are making every effort to produce more. Labor conditions re- strict 'he acreage that can be planted to peanuts, and therefore g'owers are , treating tin ir seed at planting for better stands and larger yield-:, and i now they itre planning for increased I d"';rg of 'he crop.

State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Ql-TSTION: How can I s 1' :o.sar ivy? ANSWER: L'.-e a solution of fo d.um chlora'c, made at the rate of one potind of the material to the gnl lon of water, and spray ;t on the plant.-, says Trol. B. W. Wells of the r.o'iiry department at State College. He also :eiorts that a new an.i v:ry e:ftct.e ihem.cal called an-.ir.oniuir. ulf.iinate has been developed recent ly but it is not avaiabk a this t;me. As to the sodium chlorate, Prof. Wells warns thtt this t h. 1 1 ical is 'ery ac'i'e artd must be kept away from lire at all times. It should never be stored near sulphur. It mu.-i bt kept off the clothing. QUESTION: How will product: -r. he determined in the State F.ve-Ac:e Cotton Contest ANSWER: Five points will be se lected in five different sections of 'tie contest f.elri, according to J. A. Shankltn of State College, who is .r. charge cf the contest. At each Point 20 fe-.t w;ll be me.i-urcd in a vow middle and a count ef the bol'j an , stalks will be made on the two adjacent reus As the cotton open 40 open bolls will be gathered at each of the points in calculating bolls per pjur.d. length of staple, and the per cent of lint. To get the averj te width of row, measure across the field and divide by the number of ruwi. Hechecks ot high yielding fields wll be made as soon as possible afler fust estimates are made. O When someone's barn burns, there's always the expression: "The work of years gone up in snoke." The same thing happens when th--faim woodland burns. Never pour boiling water over cold dishes, or cold water on hot dishes. Harsh scouring and strong soap; may also damage dishes. Ann-will Your i ; on ' 1 ave a;;ai:i KING QL'ESTION": Should breeding coc kerels be duljbed? ANSWER: This is especially neces sary f r the breeds that develop larg comb.- and wattles, says C. F. Par rish. in charge of Extension poultry at State College. Dubbing reduces fi.Kht ng ar.d picking, following the tearii'S of tn:i-bs and wattles. It permits the cockerel to eat out of hoppers more easily. Dubbe:'. ec herils g ve be'ter fertility, which make for high hatchability of eggs, becau-- cf the better physical condi t.on of the bird. In dubbing, hold the head n.f 'he cockerel firmly in an erect po. iiain. With a small pair o'" -triinc scl-sors, cut the watles c i ,-e to the neck as thty hang.
