E. Grant, county agent of the State College extension service. ' The cooperating formers planted five pecks of treated seed to the acre, and for comparison planted 5.6 pecks of untreated seed to the acre on other fields. ' j The average production of untreat ed-seed fields was 1,225 pounds of seed . cotton to the acre, as some of these fields did - fairly , well 'even though the seed wasn't treated.. But all. the treated fields did well, and the average yield per acre from these plots was 1, 420 pounds of seed cotton, Grant stated., .. This increase of 195 pounds of seed cotton; per acre meant an increased production of around 68 pounds of lint which, at 12 cents a pound, was valued at $8a6. x "The cost of treating, the seed is less than 20 cents . an acre, Grant continued. , ' ' - . "Since 'untreated - seed ..will some times produce good stands, it cannot be said that the treatment is always responsible for large increases in yield,' but Che treatment does insure the? growers against lower, yields as a result of dampmg off disease , . Treated seed can ajso be planted safely seven to ten days earlier than untreated seed. -This gives the cot ton a better chance to "get set" be- bpre boll '.weevil damage ; becomes heavy, Grant added. . ; "T: "7: CO TO INDIANA - - Mr.' and Mrs. J.

V - y Deplores Destruction Of i Wild Evergreens ''r - - r - ' Ruthless destruction of rwfld ever greens and shrubs during the Christ mas season is a crime, declares Miss Pauline Gordon, State College exten sion specialist in homo management Holler is fast disappearing from North Carolina woodlands," and other evergreens are shamefully mutilated by thoughtless people who "go to the woods for Christmas decorations, she stated. : 1 . However, ' she added, there is no harm in gathering a few evergreens and hemes when only : moderate a- mounts are collected here and there, and care is exercised not to damage trees from' which sprigs are taken. . Home-made wreaths, and other de corations add a note of bai y to the home during the holiday s son, she pointed out, and should be t ad when the materials for, m&king them are available, ; Most North V Carolina i oodlands still have some holly, and in many places Jaurel, cedar, - pine, southern smilax; running cedar, mia'w' e, pine cones,, spruce cones, and col. ul ber ries can be. found. . t ' In making deceptions, c 3 ' needs wire for -wreath foundations, wire cutters, pliers, twine, avsha-p knife, and a pair of garden shears ..

Cheap Mixed Feeds . May Prove Costly The farmer- r who 4 buys livestock feeds according' to torice tags only may find that, ho has indulged in a bit of false economy declares Dr. J, O. Halverson, 'animal nutritionist at the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion. f . - rtr ' ' . 'The cheapest feeds are not always the most economical, Dr. Halverson noints out., and esDecially is this true in the ease of mixed feeds high in fiber ,t contents but low. in feed value. 1 f-s lAV; '-"V. 'y Proteins, fats, and f caroohydrates make up the food value in mixed feeds, while fiber only adds weight and bulk and is harder .to digest..
