Now is the time for small grain
growers of North Carolina to take
inventory, says A. D. Stuart, Ex
tension Seed Specialist at State
College.
“It is best to take stock of next
year’s seed supply,” he said, “be
fore it is to late to remember
which lot of grain was the best
quality, and had the highest pur
ity in the field.” Next year’s
planting seed should be saved now
and set aside where damage from
insects and rodents will not be
likely, he added.
A large crop of grain now us
ually means that very little at
tention will be paid to seed plant?
ed this fall, The wise farmer will
see that enough good seed is a-
vailable to how his acres because
quality will again count in the
product grown. Poor quality seed
whV' now take its ' accustomed
place at the bottom of the ladder
of quality and lo.w return to the
farmer.
If your fields were severely
damaged by disease this year or
if nematode appeared in your
wheat, you should plan now to
get, and use good seed for next
year’s crop, he said, adding that
if possible, seed of certified qual
ity should be used.
“'Remember that the cheapest
seed you can buy is a(^ally the
most ejfpensive,” the •' '^ecialist
said

Increase Shovm
in Cotton t^rop
Cotton in cultivation in North
Carolina on July 1 was estimated
at 625,000 acres, an increase of
8.5 per cent over the acreage in
cultifation Jtdy 1, 1946, the Fed
eral-State Crop Jl^brting Ser
vice reported. )
Current acreage is 74 per cent
of the 10 (1936-45) average.)
On July 1, 1946, cotton in cul
tivation ih North Carolina total
ed 576,000 acres, of which 570,-
OOO acres were harvested The
10-year (l'937-46)^ average 'aban
donment of cotton^creage from
natural causes is 1.2 per cent in
North Carolina. Thus, the report
explained^ North Carolina grow
ers will harvest around 618,000
acres of cotton this year should
abandonment be about average.
Weather conditions were un
favorable during the planting
and germination period in* many
cotton-growing counties,, the Crop

result, considerable replanting
was necessary and in some sections
stands are below normal.

Tpbacco Requires
More Farm Labor
Tolbdcco requires more than
half of North Carolina farm la->
bor’s total crop hours although
it is exceeded in acreage by sev
eral crops, it was revealed in a
survey reported by the Federal-
State Crop' Reporting Service.
The report explained that tobac
co requires" more work p^ acre
than any other crop. Farmers in
North* Carolina havest almost
twice as many acres and pounds
of tobacco than those of any other
State.
Almost three-fourths of all
farm work done in North Caro
lina is devoted to crops, the re
port stated. Slightly more labor
is devotedto farm maintenance
than to livestock.
Labor requirements for wheat
and cotton have increased since
1939 because of greater yields On
additional acres, but labor for
corn and tobacco went down, de
spite a higher yield, because of
sharply decreased acreage.
■For' the nation as a whole, cotleh
growers have increased their ac
reage 18 percent .over last'year,
bringing the acreage in cultiva
tion July 1 of this year to 21,-
389,000 acres. This is 87 per cent
of the 10-year (1936-45) average
of 24,517,000. acres. ' ' '
All cotton-growing states have
increased plantings over last year
except Oklahoma, which shoms a
two per cent decline. Texas, the
top-ranking state in acreage, in
creased its cotton acreage 33 per
cent, accounting for 65 per cent
ofUhe national increase.
Other majqy cotton, states show
ing incteases over last year’s ac
reage are Mississippi, three "per
cent; Arkansas, 20 per cent; Al
abama, two per cent; Georgia,
five per cent;, South Carolina,
lnihe_ per cent; Louisiania, five
per cent; Tennessee, six per cent;
California, 49 per cent; Missouri,
38 per cent, and Arizona, 51 per
cent. ‘ ■ '

Labor requirements for aU farm
work in North Carolina decreased
slightly from 1939 to 1944. Re
quirements for crops dropped
five perc'ent, while those for live
stock increased almost a fifth be
cause of the higher livestock po
pulations.
A purebred OIC pig project is
