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.

Mrs. Thomas Tilley returned Sat
urday from a Norfolk hospital, where
she underwent an operation some
time ago. Her condition is much
improved.
