QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
Question: How can I tell when
my chickens have worms?
Answer: Birds that are heavily
infested with these parasites are
usually quite thin, there is a drawn
appearance of the face parts, and
sometimes a fading of the eye. The
birds are also sluggish and are in
variably poor producers. When this
condition appears in the flock sev
eral birds should be killed and the
intestinal tract checked for worms.
Before any medication, however
you should see your county agent,
as worming a flock must be done
carefully to prevent the birds go
ing into a moult.
Question: What feed should be
given a cow immediately after
freshening?
Answer: For the first few days
the feed should be very limited.
Only bran mash should be used as
the grain feed the first day after
freshening. For the next four days
the feed should consist of a mix
ture in equal parts of wheat bran
and ground oats. A reasonable
amount of legume hay and a small
amount of silage may be fed dur
ing this period. On the fifth day
the cow may be started on the regu
lar milking ration and gradually
brought to full feed over a period

Question: How can I control the
small worms in my tobacco plant
beds?
Answer: These small worms often
cause severe damage by up-root
ing the small plants, but are easily
controlled by applying napthalene,
flakes at the rate of one and one
half pounds to each 100 square
yards of plant bed. It may require
from one to three applications and
these should be made about one
week apart. Strong winds will blow
the napthalene gas out of the bed
as fast as it is formed and any ap
plications made just before a strong
wind should be repeated as soon
as it becomes calm.
QUALITY TOBACCO
STARTS IN SEED BED
A well constructed seed bed will
protect young tobacco plants from
disease and enable them to develop
into hardy, thrifty specimens that
will grow in the field.
Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant
pathologist at State College, gives
the following suggestions for tobac
co plant beds:
Locate the bed in a warm, sunny
place with a southern or south
western exposure. The soil should
be loamy and well drained. Do not
place the bed on a site where a
bed has been within the past four
years.
Box the bed with planks extend
ing six inches above the surface
of the soil. Stretch wire across the
bed, or place forked sticks in the
ground, to keep the canvas from
touching the earth.
Or the bed may be covered with
a thin layer of oat or wheat straw,
with the canvas resting on the
straw. When the weather will per
mit, roll back the cover for awhile

during the day to give the plants
fresh air and sunlight.
It is better to have several small
beds than one large bed, as this
lessens the possibility of all plants
becoming infected with disease. A
hundred square yards of bed will
produce 10,000 to 15,000 plants. One
ounce of seed will sow 300 square
yards of bed.
Two hundred pounds of a 4-8-3
fertilizer mixture is enough for each
100 yards of bed. Thoroughly mix it
with the upper three or four inches
of soil.
Be especially careful to keep the
beds free from blue mold or tobac
co mosaic infections. This is import
ant.
Dr. Shaw suggested that growers
wishing more information write the
agricultural editor at State College,
for extension circular No. 207, “Ap
proved Practices in Handling To
bacco Plant Beds,” and for experi
ment station bulletin No. 297, “Prac
tices Relating to Control of Tobac
co Mosaic.”

FORCED BLOSSOMS
BEAUTIFY HOMES
Small branches cut from trees or
shrubs and placed in warm water
inside the houes will blossom sev
eral weeks before the advent of
spring.
A few such branches placed in
conaainers about a room will
brighten it with the effect of spring
while winter is still reigning out
side, said Miss Anne Pauline Smith,
district home agent at State College.
The woods offer many possibili
ties for indoor forcing, she point
ed out. The maples are lovely in
old brass, copper, or pottery con
tainers. The black alder, with its
long reddish brown catkins, makes
an unusually decorative plant for
corcing.
The yellow jasmine, the lovely
vine which makes eastern Carolina
woods so beautiful in spring, can
be forced quickly, Miss Smith said.
The gnarled forms of the flowering
dogwood, the red-stemmed dog
wood, and the spice bush are high
ly decorative.
Fruit tree blossoms—apples, pears,
peaches, and cherries as well as the
flowering crab, Japanese cherry,
and hawthorne—are favorites with
many indoor gardners.
Wild plums, pussy willows, Japa
nese quince, honeysuckle, the naked
jasmine, forsythia, deutzia, syringa,
lilac, and the spireas are also beau
tiful indoors when arranged taste
fully about a room.
If you wish to watch that mys
tery called “life” unfold in dedicate
beauty, force some lilies-of-the-Val
ley. Place them in wet sand or
sphagum moss which can be ob
tained from a florist.
A few simple rules should be ob
served, Miss Smith pointed out.
Take the chill off the water before
placing the twigs in it. Don’t let
the plants get too cold at night or
too warm during the day. Keep the
container filled with water. Cut
healthy branches, not too old.
