ANSWER: The Oxford ventila tor is simfSly a ventilator located along the ridge of- the flue-cured tobacco barn'. It should be built to permit openings ranging fl-o,m four square feet down to fully closed. Ridge- type ventilators have been fqund helpful in the close regulation of temperature and humidity late in the tobacco cure. John L.

What is the trouble? .'ANSWER: Your tomatoes arc probably infested with cne or both of the wilt diseases. Most tomatoes in the eastern part of the State are affecter this time of year. There are two main types of wilt that attack tomatoes — fusarium wilt and southern bac terial wilt. Certain varieties, in cluding Marglobe, Rutgers, Pan American and the new Southland, are* resistant to fusarium. One of ithese resistant varieties should be grown where soil is known to be wilt-infested. As yet, no var iety has been developed that is resistant to Southern bacterial REPORT OF CONDITION OF THE BANK OF RAEFORD of Raeford in the State of N.

ANSWER: Hybrid corn is no thing more than the corn that re sults when one pure line or strain is crossed with another. In normal field culture, there is no way of controlling the crossing or inter breeding of corn plants. The pol len from the tassel is likely to fall on ithe silic ol the same plant, thus producing an inbred. To pro duce a hybrid, there must be some way to control the pollina tion to make sure that all the pollen is furnished by one line Hence, the tassels are broken off from plants being used as the fe male line. All the pollen is fur nished by plants being used as the male line. duced this year will not reach commersial channels. Dr. Moore explained. Fifty per cent of the present crop is being reserved for small grain production contest winners, and the remainder of each grow er’s crop will be marketed local ly. Dr. Moore said. The’1949 crop of Atlas 50 wheat was produced by 25 growers in 17 counties, and the crop of Atlas 666, by 53 growers in 28 counties. A total of 226 acres of Atlas 50 and 260 acres of Atlas 66 lyere grown, and all were inspected for seed certification purposes. Dr. Moore said these new rust and midew resistant wheats mark a new day in small grain produc tion in North Carolina and per haps in neighboring states. The varieties, which outyield stand ard strains by a considerable mar gin, were developed by the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. -0- Engineer Says To Improve Buildings member and started at a distance of about one-third* the length of the nail from the end of the board.

Kulash, entomologist for the Agricultural Experiment Station, reports. The survey cov ered 20 southern and eastern counties. The heaviest infestations were still'being reported from Scotland, Hoke and Robeson Counties. Hoke had a 64 per cent infestation last week; Robeson, 55 and Scotland 61 per cent. The survey showed infestations of 35 per cent or more in Harnett, Northhampton and Sampson Counties. Kulash says average square infestation for the 2’0 counties checked was 26.83 per cent. Last year at the same time, only.2.27 per cent of the squares had' been punctured in the same counties. In view of the present high in festations. dusting to control weevils is highly desirable,” the entomologist concluded. “Many farmers are already carrying oulj this dusting program.” In a further report of general crop conditions, Kuash says that blooms have been reported in nearly all cotton-growing counties However, only in scattered fields- of the State’s southern counties is cotton blooming extensively. Throughout the area around Kins ton cotton is large, well-deve loped and, generally in better condition than cotton in any oth er area. Floor and wall joints are .^the key points in the construction - of houses and farm buildings to withstand forces of windstorms, says H. M. Ellis, agricultural en gineer for the State College Ex tension Service. Building improve ments should begin vyith strength ening of the joints, he adds. EUis says two engineers at the Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Md., have just com pleted a test of wood-frame joints of various types. “The joints are often the weakest parts of any structure,” they said. “Failures are therefore most likely to oc cur a1^ these places.” As a result of their studies the two engineers concluded that a sturdier house, garage, or farm building will result if the wall framing is toenailed instead 'of* endnailed. Toenailing, they ex plained, is done by placing a 2 x 4 or other frame member upright on a sill and driving nails slant wise through the upright into the flat sill. The slant of the nail is important, and for best results the test showed that the nail should be driven at a 30 decree angle with the upright framing is always grassy cotton. No gin equipment nor mill equipment now in use will take grass from cotton. Keep your cotton fields free from grass as possi ble, even if you plan to hand-jAck.
