Agency Notes
THE FERTILIZER SITUATION
To produce the food and feed
needed in Person County in 19-
44, the supplp of labor and mach
inery being what it is, eveTy
farmer will have to use the best
cultural and fertilizer methods
known. Good seed, liberal ferti
lization and good cultural meth
ods will increase grain and hay
production at least 20% to 25%
without increasing acreage. -
There is plenty of fertilizer
available for 1944, but farmers
should place orders for same at
once and j£t is out on their
respective farms, Many are al
ready doing this. Labor is short
at the mixing plants. Manufact
urers cannot get extra labor for
the spring rush. They have to
keep .what labor they have busy j
during the summer season mix
ing fertilizer for the fall and
spring needs.
This means that manufactur- '
ers storage will become exhaus
ted unless the local dealers can
stoire the fertilizers as mixed.
The average local (kmler may
not have sufficient storage to
take' care of all needs for his |
customers, hence the customers
should move the fertilizer early
from his dealer to avoid conges
tion.
Even though there is an ade
quate supply of fertilizers, the
strain on the transportation sys
tem will make it impossible to
move the seasonal demand as in
the past.
Though a good supply of nitro
gen will be available for fail
and spring crops, much of it will
come from ammonia liquors and
ammonium nitrates. Mixing
plants are not equipped to keep
large quantities of these mater
ials on hand. Even if they did j
have equipment, there are not '
enough railroad tanks available
to ship ammonia liquors to mix
ers in large enough quantities !
to meet the past peak loads. A
mmonium nitrate must be proces
sed rapidly.
Salesmen are restricted in gas
oline; therefore, do not wait un
til someone calls on you. Better
call on your salesman this year. !
The wise farmers are doing this; ]
an dis the others wain till i
spring ,they may not be able to
get delivery of fertilizers on
time. Telephone, .write, or place
orders in person now.
Use at least 300 lbs. of a high
grade grain fertilizer on fall
grain and corn next year. It will
give profitable returns.
Seed Teatment
Cuts Grain Loss
Says H. R. Garriss
Annua! losses due to attacks
of smut diseases in small grain
can be cut to a minimum by the
use of seed treatments an the
planting of smut restitant vari- I
eties, Says H. R. Garriss, Exten- j
sion plant parhologist at State j
College.
Garriss points to the results j
of tests conducted in 18 North i
Carolina counties during the 19-
41-42 season as proof of his j
statement.
In these experiments, to con
trol the fouitt of'.wheat, often
called the stinking smut, seed
of the Red Hart variety were ar
tificaiily inoculated with smut |
spores. One lot of the seed was |
treated .with ethyl mercury phos- j
phate at the rate of one-half
ounce per bushel of seed, while
the otiur portion was not treat
ed. t
Seed from the two lots were
planted in adjacent rows anfl
the showed an average
of 45.2 infected in the untreated

rows, and only a trace (two
hundrqdths of one per cent) in
the treated rows.
For the control of loose smht
of oats, the seed of the Lee vari
ety, susceptible to this disease,
were inoculated with the loose
smut spores, and then only part
of these were treated. The results
showed an average of one-tenth
of one percent infection in the
treated group, and an average of
4.4 percent infection in the un
treated group.
In the same test, it was found
that the Lelin, Letoria, Victor
grain Stanton and Fi|lgrain 4
showed marked resistance to the
disease.
PULPWOOD
R. W. Graeber, Extension for
erter at State College, says that
reports from farm agents show
that many farmers who nl-ver
before cut pulpwood are adding
their share to the state’s supply.
