FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED Question: It is too late to seed pastures? Answer: The best dates for seeding in the spring is from Feb ruary 15 to April 1. Carpet grass, dallis grass and lespedeza should be seeded during this period and may be sown on top of other grasses and clovers planted the previous fall. Bermuda grass seed is rarely used in this state, but if the seed is used, they should be planted in May or June. Cuttings from this crop are usually set out in February or March. Question: What is the best con trol for tobacco bud worms? Answer: The poisoned corn meal bait is the best known con trol. This is made by carefully mixing oue pound of Arsenate of Lead with 50 pounds of corn meal. Applications of this poison should be made early in the morning when the bud is open. A small pinch of the mixture should be dropped in the center 'of the bud. Applications should be made ev ery week or ten days until the plants are topped. One peck of the mixture will be sufficient to co ver one acre of tobacco. Question: When should culling be started in the poultry flock? Answer: For best results, cul ling should be a continuous pro cess, but in the young flock the bird should be culled when eight to twelve weeks old. This is es pecially true when cockerels are to be raised for breeders. All through the growing period the birds should be carefully watch ed and all cockerels or pullets showing lack of vigor and deve lopment should be culled.
