WORK SHEETS ARE
NEEDED BY FARMERS
Being Distributed by County
Agents and Are Available to
All.
Every farmer who expects to ap
ply for a soil-conservation grant
under the new farm program must
fill out a work sheet showing the
acreages and yields of his various
crops.
The work sheets are being dis
. tributed to county farm agents and
will be available to all farmers in
the State, said John W. Goodman,
assistant director of the State Col
lege extension service.
The work sheets will be used in
setting up the bases of each grow
er’s soil-depleting crops except to
bacco, cotton, and peanuts which
will continue the bases established
under the AAA.
They will also show the acreages
of soil-building and conserving
crops on the farm last year, and will
serve as a guide in carrying out
provisions of the new program,
Goodman stafcqd.
On the work sheets will be
shown the maximum acreage of soil
depleting crops on which the grow
er can receive payment for diverting
into soil-building or conserving
crops.
These sheets will also be used
by the county committees later in
the year when they check up on
the growers’ performance to de
termine the amount of payments for
which thev aualify.
In some of the counties, Goodman
said, certain days will be set aside
for farm agents, committeemen, and
members of the agents’ office staffs
to aid farmers fill out their work
sheets.
Before going in to fill out a work |
sheet, a farmer should set down on i
a piece of paper accurate figures
showing the acreages and yields of
all crops he grew in 1935, Goodman
oointed out.
It is important that the work
sheets be fillqd out as soon as pos
sible, he added.

SUNLIGHT CHECKS
BLUE MOLD IN BEDS
Canvas Covers on Seed Beds
Should be Rolled Back on
Warm Days.
Sunshine is the best remedy for
keeping blue mold out of tobacco
plant beds, said Dr. R. F. Poole,
plant, pathologist at the N. C. Agri
cultural Experiment Station.
The fungus causing this disease,
which has begun to ravage tobacco
beds in eastern North Carolina this
season, cannot spread and thrive in
the sun’s rays, Dr. Poole explained.
Sunshine also is good for the
plants, he continued, and helps them
build up a strong resistance to blue
mold fungi.
The canvas covers on seed beds
should be rolled back on warm sun
ny days so the sun can shine direct
ly in the young plants. Replace the
canvas in the afternoon when the
temperature bqgins to drop.
Light applications of quick-acting
•’itrogenous fertilizer often hasten
•■he tobacco plants’ recovery from
blue mold, but care should be taken
not to let the nitrogen remain on the*
plant leaves.
“Be careful,” Dr. Poole warned
♦he growers, “not to carry any of
♦he fungus on your hands or clothes
from an infected bed to a non-in
fected bed.”
He advised the growers to give
their young tobacco plants plenty of
sunshine even if they have not been
attacked by blue mold, as sunlight
is a good preventative.
After beds have become infected,
he said, they can be saved, but the
grower should be extra careful. Do
not transplant any plants from beds
♦o fields until all traces of blue mold
have disappeared.
Snraying for the control of blue
mold is not recommended, as no
enray has b r en discovered thus far
♦hat will effectively control the
disease.

FARM
QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
Question: If a grower increases
his acreage of cotton or tobacco above
the establishment base can he still j
receive payment under the new
farm program?
i
Answer: He may receive payment
if he has qualified otherwise, but
an amount will be deducted from
his total payments equal to the soil- j
conserving payment for the excess,
acreage, on the same basis that he
would have received for diverting
the same number of acres. If the ad- :
ditional acreage is grown in com-'
bination with a soil-conserving or
soil-building crop and is needed for j
home consumption, then no deduc
tion will be made.
Question: Is it advisable to force
molt pullets 1)o be held over for
layers?
Answer: It is well known that
’ate molters are the high producing
birds in the flock and these birds
ire usually in fairly heiavy lay dur
ng the summer months when egg
nrices are relatively high. Where
♦he molt is exceptionally latie, it is j
difficult to secure suitable eggs for j
“arly hatching the next year. An I
°arly forced molt therefore would
bring the birds back into lay in earl’'
autumn, but would react to the dis
advantage of the breeder doing trap
nest work.
Question: How much manure
should be applied to the home gar
den plot?
Answer: This, of course deDends
unon the size of the plot, but on
soils of average, fertility, about, ten j
♦wo-horse waeon loads should be
used to the One load, there-'
fore, would cover a sn»ce aDnroxi
