THE NEWS-JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. PAGE THREE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1945 State College Answers Timely Farm Questions QUESTION: Do we still naed to save used fats? ANSWER: Yes, says Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, chairman of the State Sal vage Committee. She points out that the fat situation is still acute and that it will be some time before oils will be received from the areas surrendered by the Japanese. The number of points paid for used house hold fits was increased from 2 to 4 per pound on October 1. Secre tary Clinton P. Anderson says that there is still an urgtnt need for ev ery bit of used fat that can be sal vaged by housewives and others. QUESTION: How can I estimate my yield per acre of corn? ANSWER: Here's the method given county agents by Dr. Emerson Col lins, Extension agronomist at State Colege.- Harvest shucked corn from 50 feet of running row and weigh. Get the average for about five or six locations in the field. Then, if your rows are 3 1-2 fett wi Je, multi ply the number of pounds from the 50 feet of running row by 3.16. This will give you bushels of marketable corn per acre, running 15 1-2 per cent mois-ture. It is taken for gran ted that your present corn contains about 25 per cent n oisture. "If your rows are 4 feet wide, just multiply by 2.76 rather than 3.16. For fac tors on other widths of rows and for Information as to how the factors were arrived tt, consult your county agent. It's just a good problem in arithmetic. Larger Supply Of Corn Hybrid Seed The supply of coin hybrid seed will be considerably larger next year because 207 farmers have produced about 15,000 bushels of 12 adapted corn hybrids during the past season State College Hints To Farm Homemakers (By Ruth Current) It's the women family income or who spend the at least a greut under the direction of the N. C. Crop portion of it. Theirs is the job of Improvement Association and the ! budgeting and household manage- Agricultural Experiment Station at State College. This is enough seed to plant about 420,000 acres, or 19 per cent of North Carolina's corn acreage. A. D. Stuart, Extension seed specia list, says that 133 of the 207 farmers are apprentice growers with one fourth acre each, learning the rudi rents of the business. The other 74 fanners are certified growers. The certified growers in many ; cases artificially dry the corn to pre- I vent damage from insects and di-1 sease. The seci are then cleaned, , graded, tested for both germination and purity, and sealed in new bags j with a certificate tag signed by the grower. . ! Of the 12 hybrids produced by the fanners, 8 were yellow and 4 were I white. Both top crosses and double crosses were made. Top crosses are ' designated as "T" hybrids and are I produced by crossing the farmer's; ment. They should take this job seriously. They should buy wisely and intelligently. One of the impor tant things in buying is to "look for the label" and read carefully every word written thereon. Many food manufacturers are now actively at work on a campaign of descriptive labeling. These descrip tive labels identify products in de tail for the consumer. They tell her what the ingredients are and what special qualities are offered it's all there in black and white. The important thing is that we read this information and use it. If your rugs have a tendency to curl at the edges, sew weights or discarded rubber fruit jar rings on the unoer side to keep rugs flat. If you polish floors with a rubbing wax, spread a thin, evtji coat of wax and rub it thoroughly, buy non-skid wax. Better still, If you provide a place for toys, you will find it easier to teach your children to pick up after themselves, ;hus eliminating a tripping hazard. Keep walking pathways clear. Short light cord prevents tripping. If you use, kerosene lamps or candlesticks, be sure they have wide bases. Metal lamps are safer than glass. Any weak or rickety chair is a menace. Keep furniture in repair Anchor small rugs. WANTED Good Lespedeza HAY In Bale ReEl Clements 538 Hay Street Fayetteville,N.C. QUESTION: Do I still have time to send a supplemental grazing crop? ANSWER: Agronomists at State College suggest that you seed your mixture of small grains, legumes, and rye grass as early as possible. Although you will not get much gra zing this fall, unless weather con ditions are particularly favorable, you will be assured of early spring grazing before permanent pastures are ready and when feed conditions are tight. own corn on seed obtained from the l"erding program of N. C. State College and the USDA Bureau of Plant Industry. "The use of adapted corn hybrid seed will provide North Carolina with more feed for peace time living," Stuart says.
