Jones Journal “A BETTER COUNTY THROUGH IMPROVED FARM PRACTICES” TRENTON, N. C. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1950 NUMBER 27 m PROJECT H C 4-4 MiC&r&z}> ii^5!w &A3£»*«S!¥f ' (jtfroS< y &-.>•■ / $$&&*!$'§&<■$tm&f-Xrt: ^/ t.W/.*//£ Advises Starting Own Seed Patch In Two Grain Varieties Atlas wheat and Colonial bar ley seed are still available for North Carolina farmers who want to start seed patches of these small grain varieties this fall, says Dr. F. J. Bell, seed and small grain specialist for the State College Extension Service. Starting a seed patch, says the specialist, is the best way for a farmer to be sure of having a supply of improved small grain varieties for planting in 1951. On the average farm, he adds, per / haps two acres would be suffi cient for this purpose. The farmer should plant certi fied seed, watch it closely while it is growing, and rogue out any noxious weeds that appear. At harvest time he should combine the crop and keep the seed sep arate from the main crop. In this way he will obtain a seed supply which can be cleaned and used in planting his entire acreage to recommended varieties in the fall of 1951. Adapted seed, says Dr. Bell, not only produce higher yields but also carry disease resistance and in some cases contain im proved feeding value. For exam ple, Atlas Is a high-protein wheat. Also, Arlington oats test ed 13.8 per cent protein com pared with 10 per cent for the old Lee variety that many farm ers are still growing. “Don’t wait—get your seed patch started now!” urges Dr. Bell. In this way you can make use of the advantages offered by the new, improved small grain varieties.” Zollie Riggs Hurt Zollie Riggs of the Hopewell section of lower Jones County is under treatment In St. Lukes Hospital In New Bern after suf fering serious Injuries Saturday night when he was struck by a hit and run driver.
