Perquimans County, North Carolina, April 6, 1972 10 Cents Per Copy LY 4 our Soybean J Plant Food "Know Your Soybean Plant .FeodV states WC Strowd, 'Agricultural Extension Agent in Perquimans County. Mr. Strowd further states "Soybean plants produce about half their total dry matter in 80 to 90 days 'after planting. Total plant (weight is divided between vegetation such as leaves, stems, plus the seed and pods. At 40 bushel yields, the total weight is almost balanced between the following plant parts: SI per cent in seed and ! pods, 49 per cent in vegetation." k Farmers 'should have some speculated idea of how much plant food is used by the crop ; they produce in order to know 'what' plant food should be .replaced for the next crop. TIromX North Carolina State University, a SO bushel per acre yield in 140 days would take up a i total of 560 pounds of plant food -; 257 pounds in Nitrogen, 48 j pounds in phosphorus, 187 ! pounds in potash, 49 pounds in -calcium and 19 pounds in magnesium.

Lane, Jr. at 8 Wesleyan Service Guild 1 will meet April 10 at 8 p.m. at " the borne of Mrs. Jim Bass. ; On April 20 the Subdistrict i Meeting at Woodland United Methodist Church will be held at Limited Movement Of Swine i limited movement of feeder and breeder swine will be I resumed In North Carolina on I April 8 according to an an I nouncement today by North i Carolina Agriculture Com I missloner Jim Graham. h Farm-to-farm and farm-to- approved market-to-farm f movement will be allowed after ' securing a permit from the agricultural extension service, vocational agriculture teacher, practicing veterinarian or the I State or Federal veterinarian's I staff.. The permit can only be I issued after on-the-farm in j spection. The one exception of I the new movement regulation is Robeson County where no ' feeder or breeder movement la yet allowed. I The permit system will work 1 just as It did prior to the period t ofy free - movement since 1 January 1 of this year. 1 Veterinary officials have ruled that requests for issuance or permits must be made at least Ave days before the planned movement. : "When you consider the hardship this extra work puts on agriculture teachers, extension workers and others, mis is a reasonable consideration," Graham said. "We would not be able to resume movement . without the help of these people and we want to work with them In every possible way.". . "We regret the necessity to keep the quarantine on Robeson County, .but with the latest ; outbreak originating there and I me disease being across the line to South Carolina, it Is essential we keep control in, this area until things have been cleared cp," Graham continued. "We tie hopeful this will be In the rear future and mat Robeson i County can also be released." . The swine producers of ! 'Korth Carolina nave suffered ' much during the month since j vm last outbreak," the com I ;rJ!raioner continued, "but the ; ' precautions taken have paid off I ywiA few sick hogs." , ' "The hog cholera eradication ' program is working and I am consent the efforts of the State farm, there is no return to the soil in manure. Relatively few soybean acres are now fer tilized and those very sparingly. Fertilization is a good in vestment. Soybeans have a great nitrogen fixation factory in the nodule bacteria. They fix most of their nitrogen from the air or get it from the soil. A little added nitrogen may give the crop a boast under cool con ditions, drought, acid soil or poor innoculation. Most soybean fertilizers contain some nitrogen because many farmers feel it helps the soybean crop to get a jump on weeds. Fertilizer should be used on low fertility soils to replace the phosphate and potash the soybeans remove. It is also practical to include fertilizer for soybeans when fertilizing other crops in the rotation if enough fertilizer to take care of soybeans is ap plied. There is some fixation of fertilizer nutrients in the soil but there is also some plant inability to absorb all the fer tilizer. Corn and soybeans respond about the same to phosphate and potash. The carryover fertilizer can be sufficient to meet the needs of soybeans if the corn leaves anything. The point is: Do you maintain a real two crop soil? If you do, the carryover power may pay for the initial ap plication and more. "The application of enough lime on an acid soil can , be helpful in boasting soybean yields as much as 8 to 10 bushels per acre in good moisture years. Other nutrients which should be checked for maximum soybean yields are manganese, calcium, copper and molybdenum trea eatment," :rowqL further states Mr. Strowi Resumed and Federal veterinary officials will be rewarded soon with the opening of neighboring states to buy North Carolina pigs with a resulting boost for swine prices." "The federal government is paying 75 per cent of the in demnity to wipe out the disease and we must continue to work with them so that we will not lose the Indemnity program," Graham concluded.

The pilot ex plained that by opening two tanks at a time in series he can fire proof an area 30 feet wide by 2300 feet long during a single mission. ; i : The Forest Service will have an area control center with telephones, two-way radios, teletype system, dispatching maps, two 10,000 gallon storage tanks, mixing tanks and several tons of dry chemical at the Edenton Airport during March, April and May.

A cooperative effort of 10 federal agencies and 15 North Carolina departments and agencies functioning as the North Carolina Soil and Water Conservation Needs Com mitteethe new books shows land use changes since the last inventory was published in 1962 It also shows land adequately treated and that needing treatment, forest acreage where timber stands should be improved, existing watershed projects and future project needs, and a variety of other topics including water supply needs, recreation area needs, and trends to be expected with expanding population and advancing technology. The detailed survey covers the 27,850,688 acres in North Carolina considered agricultural, or some 88 per cent of the state's total 31,331,346 acres. Forest, farm land, pasture and other acreage are included, and tables give breakdowns for each county in North Carolina.

Other tables show watersheds and problems needing action, and con servation needs by land categories. "This will be a very useful resource book for a lot of people," Mr. Hicks said, "and the data in it will be available through the Soil Conservation Service offices, soil and water conservation districts, Ex tension Service agents, and through other agricultural and other governmental agencies. In many counties a copy will be provided to public libraries. "In addition," Mr. Hicks, continued, "officials with a real interest in and need for this type of data, such as county or city planners and certain other interests, can obtain a copy for their office use by contacting one of the agencies responsible for issuing this report." The Conservation Needs Inventory will be a valuable source of data to use with soil surveys or with generalized soils maps, the SCS state conservationist pointed out. Such soils data is available in most North Carolina counties. "A lot of people have been waiting for this publication," State Conservationist Hicks commented, "and we're glad that it is now available for their use. It's a valuable tool."
