TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED AT STATE COLLEGE Question: How can I protect my baby chicks from intestinal worms? Answer: When brooding chicks, the area under the brooder can opy should be thoroughly clean ed every day and replaced with clean litter. Beginning the second week, the entire house should be cleaned every four days. The chicks should also be kept off ground that has been inhabited by fowls within at least two years. If the house cannot be moved to clean ground, a wire bottomed platform should be built on the south side of the house and en closed on the sides with half Inch square mesh wire. This will keep the chicks off the ground and, at the same time, give them access to sunshine and fresh air. Question: What spacing should be allowed in planting sweet pota toes in a garden? Answer: Plants should be spac ed 12 inches apart in rows from three to three and one-half feet apart. Close planting reduces the number of "Jumboes" and also checks the losses from stem rot. Where extra early potatoes are desired, the plants should be spaced at least eighteen Inches apart in three foot rows. Better stands .will be secured if the plants are set on high ridges. A 3-8-8 fertilizer mixture, applied at the rate of 600 to 800 pounds an acre is also recommended. Question: How can I get rid of the grubs and snails that are damaging my tobacco plants? Answer: A mixture made with 25 pounds of wheat bran, one pound of Paris Green and enough water to moisten will control these insects. The bait should be broadcast at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds (dry weight) to each 100 square yards of bed. Spread the bait evenly. Do not allow the bait to fall on plants any more than possible. This same mixture will also control the slugs sometimes found in the beds. Several appli cations of the mixture may be necessary for complete control. ELKIN YOUTHS MAKING GOOD AT N. C.
