Apply Nitrogen for
Small Grains Between
Feb. 15 and March 15
Nitrogen is the key plant food
for high yields of small grain. But
County Agent J. R. Franck says
it must be applied at the right
time for beat returns.
Experiments at State College
have shown that nitrogen topdress
ing gives largest yield increases
when applied between February 15
and March. 15. Since very little
nitrogen is applied to small grain
in the fall as a rule the crop is
very dependent upon the supply

borne economists say adding a
cheese seuce is a nutritious way
to drees up freshly cooked or left
over vegetables, meats, fish or
fowl. Use % cap butter, y. cup
flour to two cups of milk, and add
% pound of shredded cheese.
Keep several flavors of ice
cream on band in the home freezer
or freezing compartment. There Is
no waste and no need of prepara
tion before serving alone, or in- “a
la mode” desserts and sundaes.
Butter sauces pep up vegetables.
Add lemon juice, celery, poppy or
carraway seed, or garlic salt. High
in vitamin A, butter is also a good
flavor addition.
Use milk in cooking rice, cereals
or poached egigs to add to their
nutrition and flavor. Just substi
tute milk for the water in the
recipe and be careful to cook over
low heat.
'EXTRA USES FOR COFFEE
PERCULATORS — Coffee perco
lators can be made to give a lot
provided in the spring.
The experiments have also shown
that yields are not increased as
much by application after March
15 as they are when nitrogen is ap
plied earlier.
Many North Carolina farmers
have already spent a lot of money
on small grain. How much they
get from their labor and other in
vestments will depend largely on
timely topdlressing this spring.
The County Agent stated that in
Jones County more farmers apply
nitrogen t0 small grains after
March 15 than apply it before
March 15.

FARM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Here has been a
lot of interest in growing onions
ANSWER: Recent interest | in
producing onions has resulted in
a jump in acreage from less than
100 in 1956, to 800 in 1957. The
1958 acreage is estimated at 8,000.
The late -spring crop is expected
to show a 31 per cent in acreage
over last year and 13 per cent
above average. But lower prices
can be expected if weather is
favorable for good yields. Thus
growers wil) have to be extra care
ful to produce good quality onions
to make a profit. ’
