THE PEkQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1940 PAGE SEVEN .1 11 THIS MONTH ON THE FARM "i. Spring work is in full swing on the - , farm, and April ushers in one oi me . Imsiest months of the agricultural .calendar. As reminders, State Col lege specialists offer the following kfiliggestions, which, if accepted, i ( Should result in a more bountiful ,' harvest season: ' H p 'MiHOTvnorBr. Extension horti- ( culturist, advises the planting of all r types of home garden crops. He 1 lists the following vegetables to be planted this month, and the number - of days after planting when they should be ready for use: Beets, 60 days; beans, 40; carrots, 76; sweet corn,, 60; cucumbers, 60; cantaloupes, JZO; chard, 40; celery, 120; insn po tatoes, 80; kale, 80; garden peas, 40; lettuce. 60: onion seed, 130; okra, fi00; parsnips, 125; radishes, 20; '. BUUMIlt WWi oifi., w, o , . 30; tomatoes, 100; and watermelons, v4 J. 0. Rowell, Extension entomolo 44i8 te11 farmers to delay planting . corn until May if they have been troubled in the past with stalk bor- eris. However, he says that doubling the amount of seed when planting f - corn in low ground will usually allow ' for agood stand despite root worms, " drill worms, and bud worms. In ad dition, Rowell advises that injury by flea beetles that sometimes eat small round holes in vegetable seedlings . and potato leaves can be prevented ,- bjr a Bordeaux spray, or by dusting with rotenone duts. j The suggestion of E. Y. Floyd, AA 1'. A executive officer, is: See your AAA committeeman or county farm ateent immediately and sign a farm pfwK between April 16 to qualify for Triple-A payments in 1940, if you have not already done so. The 15tft - is the final date for signing Farm Plans for 1940, and a grower must j sign one of these plans if he wishes ( to receive payment at the end of the year. F. M. Haig, professor of animal husbandry, cals attention to the need for care of young animals born on the farm. Sanitary quarters are doubly important for the young, and , control of lice and other parasites - will result in more profit from the ., dairy, beef cattle, or swine herd, and . ' the sheep flock, he says. . John A. Arey, Extension dairyman. emphasizes the need for roughage to i carry the cows over the winter per iod. He suggests the growing of ur tons of silage and two tons of , good hay for each mature cow in the dairy herd. Also, Mr. Arey advises i that cows should be kept off the per manent pasture until the ground is and the grass has made a good growth. ' J H W. Taylor, Extension swine : specialist, says spring pigs should be ,. castrated when they are about five "weeks of age. Soybeans planted in rows and cultivated twive will fur nish excellent grazing for swine from J the time the plants are about 15 inch 4 es high until frost, he says. One ArrA nf hMTIB rtn trnnA onA will na-rrv ;. 15 to 20 shoats provided they are on -V a full feed of corn and a good protein supplement. I Lewis P. Watson, Extension horti culturist, recommends that sweet po tatoes be bedded the first week in April in order to have plants for set - ting about June 1. Instead of sell- ",jfig the best potatoes, he continues, and using the scrubs and culls for seed, build up your own seed stock by saving the best for seed. Select ' smooth, well-shaped potatoes of de sirable color and free from disease. ' Look for the blue tag of the North BETTER CHQCES8, BOOK YOUR ORDER NOW True-Bred Baby Chicks $8.50 Per 100 ?rU.

Many dealers have sold out of certified cotton seed at this time of the year, and farmers should exercise caution in buying any but the best stock available. Where germination of seed is'low, enough extra seed should be planted to allow for the failure of the poor seed to come up. Three Important 4-H Announcements Made L. R. Harrill, State 4-H Club lead er, comes forward this week with three important announcements re garding the 4-H program in North Carolina. The first is that 4-H Church Sunday will be observed on April 28; another is that a Dairy Foods Demonstration Contest will be conducted for 4-H members of the State this year; and the third is that loans of as much as $75 are avail able to club members through the Farm Security Administration's Ru ral Rehabilitation program. The 4jH Church Sunday is an an nual event, and last year Harrill says he received reports at the State College office of 39 organized pro grams presented by county and com munity groups. These ranged from the preparation and distribution of the church bulletin, to the presenta tion of special music, giving inspira tional talks, acting as ushers, taking up the collection, conducting Vesper services, placing flowers in the church, and beautifying the church grounds. Miss Mary E. Thomas, Extension nutritionist, is in charge of the Dairy Foods Demonstration Contest. Coun ty winners will be selected, and these teams will compete at the State 4-H Short Course at State College July 22-27 for the right to compete in the National Contest at the National Dairy Show in Harrisburg, Penn., October 12-19. Gold watches will be awarded members of the winning team from each of the four sections of the United States. The FSA loans will be made to sons and daughters of FSA clients for the purpose of buying calves, pigs, chickens, and other livestock, and they may be made for the. pur pose of buying seed, plants, fertilizer and the like for club projects. Extension farm and home agents in the counties will gladly furnish additional information on any of these subjects, Harrill said.

Shrubs, Trees Meet Ne&is Of Farm People Farmers and city people have dif ferent problems in beautifying their homes, says John H. Harris, Exten sion landscape . specialist of N. C. State College. ' In the city or town, space usually is limited, but long summer evenings allow time for the attention to annual, and perennial plant that; offer "most flowers for the least space. On the farm, the rush seasons in the fields mean long hours and little leisure at the very time flower gar dens may be most in need of weed ing, cultivating, and watering. (But the grounds around the farm home are usually ample for more of the or namental shrubs and trees than those of the town dweller. "These two -sharp differences are worth .- considering,". Harris said, "when the farm family 'Consider? plantings to .-improve the ,,h 0 m e 1 grounds., planting a few shrubs this season, and a few more from time to time, will soon make the home more attractive, and will conserve time in busy seasons. "Shrubs and trees will need good care and watering for two or three seasons," the specialist continued, "but after that, if they are well se lected, good woody plants will prac tically take care of themselves. What work is needed can be done at odd times and when farm work is slack." Harris called attention to three folders available at State College which outline simple farm-home grounds beautification. They are Extension Folders Nos. 40, 41, 42, and they are available free to citi zens of North Carolina upon request to the Agricultural Editor at State College. No. 40 takes up "Arrange ment of Planting"; No. 41 is a dis cussion of "General Arrangements"; and No. 42 is entitled "Walks and Drives."
