Question: What is the best to
bacco plant bed fertilizer?
Answer: The Agronomy Tobac
co Work Conference, composed of
agronomists of North Carolina,
Virginia, Georgia, Florida and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
recommends a tobacco plant bed
fertilizer containing 4 percent ni
trogen, 8 percent phosphoric acid,
and 3 percent potash. The addi
tion of one percent available
magnesia will be beneficial in cer
tain cases and its inclusion is
generally recommended. The a
gronomist strongly urge that a
fertilizer practically free of chlor
ine be bought.

Stock Should Be
Kept Away From
Crotalaria Crop
Crotalaria is one of the newer
soil building crops in North Car
olina. It is a legume especially
•well adapted to the sandhills sec- ■
lions.
But crotalaria is poisonous to,
cows and other livestock, warns'
Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veterinarian
of N. C. State College. “Crotal
aria spectabilis is an excellent
legume, but its leaves, stems, and
seeds are toxic to all livestock
and a small quantity of these
can kill an animal,” Dr Grinnells
declared. Use this plant for cov
er or for building the soil, but
don’t let your stock get to it, he
advises.
Crotalaria is not palatable to
livestock except when in the
blossom stage, and ordinarily is
not eaten unless other grazing is
scarce, the State College author
ity continued. It is very much in
blossom in several sections of the
State at the present time.
“All cases of crotalaria poison
ing do not develop in the same
length of time,” Dr. Grinnells de
clared. “According to scientists
of the Florida Agricultural Ex
periment Station, where extension
work on the poisonous effects of
the plant has been done, cases
may develop from the second to
the sixth month after the animal
has eaten the plant.”
The veterinarian says that the
outstanding symptoms of crota
laria poisoning are: Loss of appe
tite, weakness and an unsteady
gait, a depressed attitude on the
part of the animal, diarrhea, and
bloody nasal discharge.
“We are not trying to discour
age the growing of crotalaria in
certain sections of the State, but
lespedeza usually makes a much
better legume and is perfectly
safe as a feed for all types of live
stock,” the veterinarian conclud
ed.

States farm products, except cot

Cotton Mattress
Program Still
Being Expanded
Miss Ruth Current, State home
demonstration agent, announces
that the cotton mattress-making
program for low income farm
families has been continued and
expanded by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Provision
has bee made so that more than
one mattress may be obtained by
a family, and the maximum in
come limits have been raised. |
“Under the 1940-41 program,”]
Miss Current said, One mattress,
can be distributed for every two
members of a family, up to three j
mattresses, except that any mat-:
tress previously received shall be
deductible.
“The new regulations provide
that any family, regardless of its
place of residence, is eligible for
material provided at least one
half of the total income is deriv
ed from agricultural occupations
and its total income last year did
not exceed S6OO plus SSO for each
member of the family over four
persons. Also, any family, regard
less of its source of income, is
eligible for material provided it
lives in the country and its total'
income did not exceed SSOO plus
SSO for each member of the fam
ily over four persons.”
Miss Current says that county
farm and home agents will con
tinue to take applications for
material, which will be supplied
as in the past by the Surplus
Marketing Administration. The
Triple-A committees will certify
applications. Miss Current and
John W. Goodman, assistant di
rector of the State College Ex
tension Service, are co-directors
of the program in North Carolina.
“With these new liberal reg
ulations, we hope to place from
175,000 to 200,000 mattresses with
about 100,000 low income families
in North Carolina,” Miss Cur
rent declared.
o
Hillside Test
{
Shows Value
Os Cover Crop
i
Winter is approaching and that
means the loss of soil on farms
where the land is not protected
with a cover crop. To prove to
farmers the value of a winter
cover in soil and water conserva
tion, a number of county farm
agents of the State College Ex
tension Service are cooperating
with other agencies in conduct
ing hillside tests to accurately
measure the loss of soil and plant
food as a result of erosion.
One such test is being conduct
ed in Franklin County, on the
farm of H. F. Fuller of Louisburg.
Route 1. A recent Farm Tour,
held cooperatively by the Exten
sion Service, Soil Conservation
Service, Farm Security Admini
stration and other agencies, show
ed the following results, accord
ing to Farm Agent W. C. Boyce: 1
In two plots where cotton and
com have been grown continu-l
cusly since 1937, with no winter
cover crop, the silt boxes at the
bottom of teh hill collected 44 tons
of soil per acre per year. In an
other plot, where lespedeza has
been grown continuously, no soil
was lost during the same period.
In two other plots, where Corn
and cotton have been grown, and
crimson clover used as a winter
crop, the annual,loss of soil per
acre from the 7 percent slope was
38 tons. But where a four-year
rotation of cotton, corn and bar
ley was planted, with lespedeza,
crimson clover and barley as win
ter cover crops, the annual loss
of soil per acre was only 7 tons.
Boyce also reported that in
1939 the "corn yielded 31 bushels
per acre on the plot where corn
has been grown continuously, 51
bushels per acre where it was

There’s Winter
Work In Plenty
To Be Done
•
Plan now for your next year’s
garden, and prepare for planting
early vegetable plants in Febu
ary and March, advises H. R. Nis
wonger and L. P. Watson, horti
culturist of the N. C. State Col
lege Extension service.
They point out that November,
December and January are not re
garded generally as important
for garden and orchard work, but
there are many necessary things
that can be done to best advant
age during the winter months
The home garden and orchard do
not demand a great amount of
time, but they do require system
atic planning.
The Extension specialists make
the following suggestions: Broad
cast manure to be turned under
in November or disced in early
in the spring. If the garden is on
clay soil, break it in November
to improve the physical condition.
Repair fences or build new ones
if the garden is in a new location.
Provide extra space in tobacco
plant beds for growing tender
vegetable plants. Although a hot
bed is not a necessity, it will
prove to be a profitable invest
ment for growing early plants to
be transplanted later.
Prune and spray all fruit trees
and grape vines. Peach trees not
treated for borers in October
should have the borers removed
now by hand. Cut posts and stakes
and place conveniently to be
used next summer to support run
ning beans, tomatoes, and small
fruits.

itor at N. C. State College, Ra
