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.
