Timely Questions On
Fann Answered
Question. How often should tobac
co be primed to get the best, quality
leaf? .-. .
' Answer: This depends upon sea
sonal condition, but as a general
rule, the plants. should be primed at
$least once eachS week. Only uni
form, ripe, and well developed leaves
should be primed. The harvesting
should begin as soon as the bottom
leaves turn yellow, but if the leaves
are well matured the first or -bottom
leaves may be pulled a little greener
than later primings. Care in pulling
and handling the leaf will add as
much to the quality as any other
factor; and especial cane should be
taken to never bruise, the leaf.
Question: Is there. anything I can
do to prevent limberneck in my poul
try flock?
Answer. This trouble is caused by
chickens eating material, usually of a
protein nature, such as a dead chick
en, moldy manure piles, hog troughs,
which has undergone decomposition,
and all birds should be confined until
the cause is found and removed. The
flock should be given epsom salts at
the rate of three-fourths of a pound
to two and one-half gallons of water
for one day after confinement. This
is a frequent occurrence at this time
of the year when the flock is on free
range and for that reason care should
be taken to keep the range clean and
free of decomposed animal matter.
Question: What can I do to pro
tect my late cantaloupes from worms?
Answer: The pickle worm and the
melon worm are the two most de
structive pests at this time and they
can be controlled by frequent appli
cations of 75 per cent rotenone dust
containing 25 per cent sulphur. The
dust should be applied at the rate of
15 to 20 pounds an acre, depending
upon the size of the plants. Treat
ments should begin as soon as the
worms appear and continue at inter-
Floyd Explains 1938
Cotton Sales Quotas
The cotton marketing quota for a
farm this year will be the actual pro
duction or the normal production
(whichever is greater) on th acreage
allotment for that farm, plus cotton
from any previous crop the producer
may have on hand. -
But if a farmer knowingly over
plants his allotted acreage, his quota
will be the normal production on hisi
allotment unless the county commit
tee finds nroof that his actual pro
duction is above normal, said E. Y.
Ployd, AAA executive officer at
State College.
On a farm . where two or more
Growers share in the crop and where
the. allotment is not exceeded, each
grower will be entitled to a share in
the marketing quota equal to his
share in the cotton produced. Where
the allotment is overplanted, tne
oiiTitv committee will divide the
quota equitably among the growers.
A jrrower who is dissatisnea witn
his quota, which will be announced
later, may have it reviewed by a lo
cal committee if he puts in an appli
cation for review within 15 days after
his, quota announcement is mailed to
him.
Growers will be given cards show
ing how much cotton they will be per
mitted to sell this year without pen
alty. Sales in excess of the quota
are Ruhiect to a Denalty of two cents
a pound. Growers who plant more
than their allotments will also lose
payments offered under the agricul
tural conservation oroeram.
Producers on farms whose total
production does not exceed 1,000
pounds will be exempt from the two
cent nenaltv in connection with the
marketinsr of any or all of their
cotton.
Warns Farmers About
Quack-Cure Peddlers
"If a slick-tongued salesman comes
round and tries to sell you a 'sure
cure' for sleeping sickness in horses,
send him on his way before he has a
chance to get any of your money,"
Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veterinarian at
the N. C. Agricultural Experiment
Station, warns Tar Heel farmers.
Last year's outbreak of this fatal
disease in horses, and the approach
of the 1938 season for another out
break, have encouraged peddlers of
nostrums to attempt to cash in on
the situation . pver a wide area.
The disease is limited almost en
tirely to farm horses. The symp
tomi are of a nervous type as shown
by the mental condition of affected
animals, abnormal movements, and
paralysis; These symptoms are often
preceded by a marked depression in
the Animal's spirits. The animal at
first appears dull, then gradually
lapses into unconsciousness.
The only preventive for sleeping
sickness so far discovered is vaccina
tion, and to be effective it must be
given at least 20 days before the dis
ease occurs. In other words, vacci
nation must be given before the ani
mal shows any signs of disease.
Other safety first measures are:
Keep horses away from swampy or
creek-bed pastures, allow horses to
graze in daytime if possible but keep
them in the stable at night, take pre
cautions to protect horses from mes
quitoes and insectst .avoid strange
watering troughs and contact with
horses on other farms. If horses
stumble, stagger, or appear sleepy,
call a veterinarian at once.
