es. Extremely large tubers or

Question: How can I prevent
the horns from growing on my
young calves?
Answer: The development of
of the horns can be prevented by
applying caustic soda or potash to
the horn button when the calf
is four to eight days old. Clip the
hair from over and around the
buttons and wash and thoroughly
dry the clipped surface. Wrap
one end of the caustic stick to
protect the hand, slightly mois
ten the other end and carefully
rub it on the horn button two or
three times, making a raw spot
about the size of a nickle. Do not
rub until the spot bleeds. If there
is any chance of rain, the calves
should be kept under cover.

Lint Growers Now
Side-Dressing Crop
Delayed By Cold
Raleigh,'June 19—Side-dressing
North Carolina’s cotton crop,
now recovering from the effects
of a Cold spring, is in full swing,
according to Dr. E. R. Collins,
fertility agronomist of the N. C.
Agricultural Experiment station.
In some cases where growers
secured a good stand l from the
first planting, the agronomist
pointed out, the side-dresser has
already been applied. However,
where the cotton had to be re
planted, the job is just now get
ting underway.
For those who have not yet
applied a side-dressing to their
crop, Dr. Collins recommended 16
pounds of soluble nitrogen, the
equivalent of approximately 100
pounds of nitrate of soda to the
acre. This amount is for the light
er, sandier soils, and should be
cut down to 10 pounds of soluble
nitrogen on the heavier more fer
tile soils.
The agronomist explained that
the side-dressing should be ap
plied within ten days after the
cotton plants are chopped.
Where rust has appeared in
previous crops, from 75 to 100
pounds of murate of potash also
should be applied not later than
ten days after chopping.
Dr. Collins explained that side
dressing is more common in the
Coastal Plain section of the State
where the soils are sandier and
lighter.
Also, he pointed out, there is
more need of .potash in this area,
particularly on land growing cot
ton and peanuts in rotation, the
latter crop taking much of the
potash from the soil.
As a whole, the agronomist
said, the cotton crop in North
Carolina is good this year, despite
the set-backs it received earlier
in the season.
