a , '-i y 1 ' ' ' f , THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY. HERTFORDr N. C, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1935. PAGE THREE Timely Questions On ' Farm Answered 1 Question: What wan ' tobacco gro- programr h Answer: According to information secured from E. Y. Floyd in charge of the tobacco adjustment program, 130.622 Dersons voted for continuing the program and 1,432 voted against it. - in the larger producing counties the vote was almost unanimous in lavor of the program. Question: Can I cut my lespede za for hay and still harvest a crop of seed from the same land? , Answer: Yes, if you cut the hay early enousrh. Set the cutter bar tigh so that the crop can grow out again and the lespedeza will make suiiictent growth to produce seed. However, one usually does not secure a commerical crop of seed when a crop of hay has been harvested. Enoueh seed is nroduced to reseed the same land or to harvest for use on the home farm. Question: I am losinsr a lot of chickens and I think the trouble is limberneck. The birds lose the use ef their necks and become completely paralized. What should I do to con trol this trouble? Answer: Apparently your birds are affected with limberneck. This trouble is caused by the birds eating decayed animal or vegetable material which is hiarhlv noisonous to them. The best method of approach is to conime the birds until the cause is located and removed. This may be in the form of mouldy or decomposed mash or grain, a dead chicken or rat, , or some other animal. It would be well to give the entire flock epsom saus at the rate of three-fourth of a pound to two and one-half gallons 01 water. Keep Cut Flowers Fresh And Pretty Cut flowers can be kept for a con siderable time when given the proper care, says Glenn 0. Randall, associ ate professor of horticulture at State College. Cut the flowers with a sharp knife early in the morning or late in the afterooon, he advises. , Then immerse the stems full length in cool water and place them in a cool place for I an hour or more. Keep flowers only in clean con tainers. Change the water at least once .a day, more often in extremely hot weather., . When changing the water, cut off about an inch of the stems so as to ' provide a fresh surface through which the water, may pass. Hold the stems under water while cutting off the end, as this keeps air from get ting into the conducting tissue and blocking the flow of the water. Remove the soft lower leaves from the stems, as they have a tendency to decay quickly. Keep the flowers in a cool place at night to preserve them longer. Don't put aspirin, salt, quinine, po tassium permanganate, or other che micals in the water, for they do not help the flowers, contrary to popular belief, Randall points out However, an experiment at Cor nell University has sMown that keep ing flowers in a copper vessel helps prolong their life. A small quantity of the copper dissolves in the water and hinders the growth of the bacter ia which cause decay. . Do not handle the flowers roughly, as anything that tends to break or bruise the plants causes them to wither sooner, Randall adds. MRS. EVANS IN HOSPITAL Mrs. W. J. Evans, wife of the sup erintendent in charge of the street construction work in Hertford, was aken to the Rocky Mount hospital on Monday. Mrs. Evans had been quite sick for several days at tne Motei Hertford. Plant Fall Spuds Early In August . ,,When the month - of July is dry and hot, the fall crop of Irish pota toes in the eastern and central parts of North Carolina should not be planted until August Some growers have found it ad visable not to plant' before August 15 when hot, dry weather continues late in the summer, said Robert Sch midt, associate horticulturist at State College. Irish Cobler. Red Blies. and Me Cormick or Lookout Mountain are among the varieties recommended for tail planting. The McCormick gives heavy yields, but is not so palatable as the others. The best planting seed is that held over in cold storage from the previ ous fall, Schmidt stated, but it is usually high priced and hard to obtain. Seed from the spring crop may be used the following fall but only if it has been given special treatment, he added, for the seed has not been ma ture long enough to germinate read ily of its own accord. A favorite method of treating the potatoes from the spring crop for fall planting is to spread them out in the shade where they will get plenty of light but not be m the direct rays of the sun. In four or five weeks they turn green, and when planted under proper moisture conditions they us ually give a fair stand. Or the potatoes may be treated chemically with ethylene chlorhydrin. However this method is always suc cessful in hot dry weather, Schmidt observed.
