More than twenty years after work was . (commenced In the Carolines to build a new farm industry by encouraging the -erection of sweet potato curing and storage houses ; for the prepara tion for market of the delicious;sua- ry Porto Rican sweet potato,, it was -reamed that something wouia have to be done to improve the color, Cton- "H ormationi Quality and appearance tof ne potato neiore we coma, expect to compete with Louisiana y sweet po tatoes in the Central: Western mar kets,; and with Jersey type potatoes from the Eastern; Shore - of. Virginia and Maryland, Delaware, New Jer sey and West Virginia, . in Eastern markets. . i A splendid start has. been made to successfully compete with potatoes from other sections by making use of good seed in some cases careful ly selected Louisiana seed. The re sults so far have been very success ful; so successful that there is a heavy demand for superior seed this spring from which to start a mother patch to supply vine cuttings for Crowing the commercial crop and good saed for use in growing the succeeding crop. In (talking recently with a heavy "buyer of sweet potatoes I was ask- ed why I did not encourage the pro "tduction of sweet potatoes in the to ;baene growing counties where soils sm favorable or can be easily con ditioned for producing sweet pota toes. I replied that I had suggest ed time and time again that such counties as Edgecomb, Nash, Wilson, Wayne, Johnston and Cumberland Counties, North Carolina and Marion, Florence, Darlington, Williamsburg, and Marlboro Counties, South Caro lina, and some of the adjoining counties should produce sweet pota toes not only for home consumption, but as a secondary money crop. This opportunity is still present as the demand for Carolina Porto Rkans continues to increase. ... It is of interest that, upwards of 600 cars of sweet potatoes have been shipped from the Carolina from the crap of 1936 to northern and cent ral western markets and there is still some stored stock to be marketed. Hie sales of this quantity of sweet potatoes represents an income of $350,000 to (400,000 more or less; a bagatelle compared with the value of the crop which is produced large ly for home consumption; but a sub stantial sum, after all, as it repre sents new money and helps to im prove our trade balance.' . Let's .make it a thousand ears of sweet potatoes and a million dollars of income. I Timely Questions On Farm Answered Question: What is the best con trol for cabbage worms? Answer: Botenone dust will, in all probability, give the best con trol. The dust should contain about 75 per cent of the rotenone and the first application should be made just as soon as you see the first small white butterfly in the cabbage field. Dust as often as worms are found and be. sure and get the dust down into the center of the plants. This dust will also control bean beetles and should be applied when the first cluster of eggs are found on the under side of the bean leaves. For bean beetles the dust should be ap plied under the leaves and not on Question: Is there any cure Bumblefoot in chickens? for Answer: Where the trouble is not too severe it is possible to cure it by making an incision in the injur ed foot and carefully removing the infected material. The area should then be sterilized with iodine and bandaged and the bird kept closely confined while the wound is heal ing. However, unless the bird is of exceptional value no cure should be attempted as these attempts in the majority of cases are unsuccessful. Question: When is the best jtime to treat sheep for stomach worms? 'Answer: Drenching for- stomach worms should' begin about June 15 A a usual, thing one or two treat csenta ire, sufficient for mature ani ;mata,;bat in esses of severe Infee- .ia Hon both , the lambs and ewes -should be drenched every two to four weeks until frost Keep the animals t be treated off feed for 24 hour before' and off feed and water -for - JSve . hours ' after drenching. 3 The copper sulphate solution ie most gen erally, used for stomach worms, but the nicotine sulphate has also proven valuable,,- especially where , 'tape ' Worms are - present," The nicotine , sulphate solution is made by mixing together -one-half ounce of 40 per t cent nicotine sulphate (Blach 'Leaf " 4) and one quart of water. Mature - sheep should receive - two to three - oces of thi solution - at each treatment and lambs from em to two ounces.

New Fertilizer Method Gives Higher Yields Six years of research by the North Carolina Experiment Station indicates that when the fertiliser ap plication is made in bands to one or both sides of the seed and a little below the level of the seed, higher acre yields of the crops so fertilized are obtained. "In general, we would recommend as a result or our tests, mat tne fertilizer application be made two or three inches to each side and two to three inches below the level of the seed," announced Dr. E. R. Col lins, fertility agronomist "This ap plication has given the highest per cent of germination, the least seed ling injury and ' the highest acre yields of cotton. , Although the ex perimental .work . in. North Carolina has been done primarily with cotton and tobacco. results from other states indicate - oat material in creases in yields can be obtained with other crops. Therefore, suit able distributors for side placement may be utilised for crops other than cotton. Dr. Collins found from his results last year mat satisfactory results can be obtained by placing the fer tiliser in two bands, about six inches apart, and then planting the seed half-way between the bands with a walking planter. This method of placement gave an increase of about 200 pounds of seed cotton per acre in comparison with placing the same amount of fertilizer behind a three inch shovel in the conventional man ner. " This side, placement method, at planting time, in separate operations gave an increase of approximately 400 pounds , of seed cotton - more than where'the fertilizer was placed in a band three inches under the seed ten days before planting. Dr. Collins said it is advisable however to have new equipment that will place the fertuser properly at planting time but that some altera tions in the present equipment may be made to secure almost as good results.
