FARM & GARDEN NEWS INFORMATION NEEDED FOR NEW COTTON CONTRACST Farmers who Milan to sign 1935 cot ton adjustment contracts will find it helpful to assemble the necessary da to betore tne sing-up campaign starts, says Charles A. Sheifield, of State College. Ccuniy Agents will be supplied in the'near future with blanks upon which growers may apply for con tracts, he points out, and the grow ers who have all the data ready will be able to fill out the blanks with out trouble delay. Growers who did not sign the 1934 35 cotton contracts will be given an opportunity to qualify for rental and parity payments by cooperating in the adjustment program this year, Sheffield says, and the contracts wilt be established on the same ba sis as the old ones. He urges growers to gather gin ning tickets, sales records, and oth er means of proving their produc tion during the base period, 1928-32 inclusive, and also the following two years, 1933 and 1934. Growers will be asked to give the to-tal number of acres on their tarms number of acres in cotton, wheat, tobacco, peanuts, and rice; the aver age line weight of their bales for each of the years, the total lint pro duced each year, their cotton acre age each year, and the lint yield per acre during each year of the base period, Sheffield says. unAje «nu aIHrLt onuuLU GOVERN COTTON PRODUCTION The type of cotton grown in North Carolina should be governed by the requirements of local mills, advises P. H. Kime, seed specialist at State College. "Every year, our mills use more than twice as much cotton as is grown in the State, he says, “and they have shown a willingness to buy North Carolina cotton when they can secure the quality and sta ple length desired in large, even-run ning lots.” The staple lengths greatest in de mand range from 15-16 to 1 1 16 of an inch. Fortunately, Kime points out, the highest yielding and best vn rieties ot cotton for North Carolina produce these staple lengths. There is little demand at home or abroad for shorter staple lengths he adds, and growers who produce such cotton are finding the most difficulty in marketing their crop. "it is encouraging to note that North Carolina growers are turning more and more to the long staple varieties,” he says, "but there Is still a great need for more of the longer staples.” The variety of cotton best suited to the soils of each grower's farm should be the kind f r him to plant Kime said. Recinnnendations may be obtained from local county agent or trom the State College agricul tural extension service at Raleigh. Tests made at the branch station near Statesville have shown that tne following varieties produce sta ple lengths as listed below: Mexican number 58 14, 1 1-16 inch: Mexican number 128, 1 1-6 inch; Cok er Cleveland number 884-4. 1 1-16; Coker Cleveland number 5-5, l 1-22 inch; Carolina Foster 5. 1 5-32 inch; Coker Foster number 6, 1 1-8 inch Farm Relief. 1 1-16 to 1 3-32 inch: Hunieo Cleveland number 20-3, 31-32 to 1 inch. TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS ANSWERED AT STATE COLLEGE Q-—How can seed oats be treated to prevent smut v A.—A fifty percent formaldehyde solution sprayed over the seed oats will effectually prevent smut. The spray may be applied with a small hand machine such as is used a round the house to kill flies. The* oats are shoveled from pile to pile and each shovelful is sprayed as turned. The seed are then lett in the pile or put in bags and left for several hours or overnight betore planting. Seed treated with this so lution. are not harmful for feeding purposes if they are stirred several times so that all the formaldehyde evaporates. Q-—Aside from the brooder house ■what equipment is necessary " for handling chicks in a brooder? A—At the start each 100 chicks should have access to a five foot feed hopper and two one-half gallon waterere. Two mash hoppers four inches high, six inches wide, and five feet long should be provided for each 100 chicks after the third week. Be sure to allow plenty of floor space as overcrowding will in crease any inherent disease and will also cause colds which may develop into serious trouble. At least one naif of floor space should be allowed for each chick. y.— W non should Irish potatoes be treated for planting? A.—Seed potatoes should be treat i ed before cutting into seed pieces. Dissolve four ounces of corresive ! sublimate in two quarts of boiling I water and add it to 30 gallons of | slightly warmed water. All mixing l -hould be done in a wooden or earth | el vessel. Wash the potatoes and hen set in solution. The first batch should be soaked one hour with fif een minutes added for each batch after the first. After ten bushels liave been treated throw the solu tion away and make up a fresh treatment. Allow the potatoes to dry before cutting into seed pieces for ilanting.
