QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
Question: How can I prevent di
seases in my stored sweet potatoes?
Answtejr: The fungi causing rots in
stored sweets are brought from the
field and live over in the rotten po
tatoes therefore the best preventa
tive is to keep the house clean and
do not place any diseased potatoes
in storage Where the soil is infect
ed with black rot, the potatoes
should not be put in storage and
all other diseased sweets should be
destroyed at harviest. If these pre
cautions are taken and the house
kept at the proper temperature dur
ing storage, tha potatoes should be
free from disease.
Question: Are brick brooders a
success from a practical stand
point?
Answer: Many thousand brick
brooders have bqen installed in
North Carolina during the past few
years and the owners report excel
lent results when the brooders are
properly constructed and used with
judgment. Their chief vallue lies in
the fact that fuql may be secured
on the premises at very low cost.
Chicks also seem to grow out well
and feather out early where the
brooders are used, especially where
a pail of water is sqt on the brood
er to increase the humidity.
Question: When should seed pea
nuts be selected for planting next
year?
Answer: Seed should be hand
picked both before and after shell
ing and all mildewed pods and
damaged kernels discarded Weath
er-damaged peanuts are not fit for
planting and care should be taken
to protect all nuts aftey digging.
Poor stands are often caused by
planting seed of low vitality and
if there is any doubt as to the qual
ity of the seed it is best to havfe
them tested for germination. After
the last selection, the seed should
be stored in a dry place until ready
for planting.
PREPARE NOW FOR
PIG UTTERS
The successful swine producer,
like all other good farmers, looks
ahead.
He prepares now for things he
plans to do this winter and next
spring, said H. W. Taylor, exten
sion swine specialist at N. C. State
College.
Now is the time to plan for the
spring litter of pigs, he added. “If
you have not already done so, plant
some clover, rye, wheat, oats, or
barley on a field where hogs have
not ranged since it was last culti
vated.
“Keep all hogs off the field until
the sows ar*e ready to farrow next
spring. This will provide a clean
range for the pigs to run in until
they are four months old, or until
the attain a weight of about 100
pounds.
“Sows for spring farrowing should
be bred by the early part of No
vember, at the latest. October 15
to November 1 is the best period.
“If you do not have a portable
farrowing house, see your county
agent of write the agricultural edi*.
tor at State College for a copy of
blue print No. 160, which gives full
instructions for building such a
house for one sow and a litter of
pigs.”
Taylor also suggested that in No
vtepiber some crop should be plant
ed to furnish winter grazing for
the swine herd. Castrate pigs when
they are four to five weeks old.
