There Is an old saying to the effect that when the dogwoods i>egln to bloom It Is time to plant com. That time will soon be here and we should have our seed on hand ready to plant. In the past, especially in eastr em North Carolina, most of the com planted for roasting ears has been of early field com varities, such as Truckers Favorite and Early Adams. In recent years there have been many commer cial plantings oi sweet com In the State, and there ha$ been more sweet corn grown in the home gardens. Once you grow true sweet corn you will never go back to the field com varieties.

The objections to swept corn have been that the ears are small and that corn ear-worm damage is often severe. There are noW many varieties of sweet o,orn with large ears and the entomologists have developed a fairly good control Tor the ear-worm. '.iany excellent hybrid varieties of sweet corn have been develop ed by the seed breeders. In order of arliness some of the best varie ties are: North Star, Carmeicross, lioosier Gold, Seneca Chejf, Gold en Cross Bantam, Ioana. Aristo gold, and Lincoln. For a succes sion of corn early and late varie ties may be planted at the same time, or a desired variety may be planted at two-week intervals. It is best to plant two or three rows of a variety at the same time in Sweet corn may be planted a little order to insure proper pollination, closer than field corn because it usually makes a smaller stalk growth. . Sweet corn is of best quality if used as> soon as harvested. If it cannot he used immediately, It should be kept on Ice or in the refrigerator; otherwise it will lose a part of its sugar content in a few hours.

Improper Lifting Causes Injnry Thousands of persons eaph year suffer sprains, strains, her nias. ai\d other Injuries caused by improper lifting. This is pointed out toy Ho ward Clap, county farm agent for the State College Extension Service who adds that correct lifting should be practiced until it becomes a habit. Records of the National Safety Council show the most common Causes of lifting injuries are: lifting and lowering with the back muscles; insecure grip or footing and unsafe placing of hands or feet; using quick, jerk ing, twisting, or awkward move ments of the body; obstructed vision, unstable loads, or inade quate control; insufficient help or failure to use mechanical .aids. The body is a mechanical sys tem of levea and .hinges, acti vated by cables just like many machines. Nature intended each bone joint and muscle for a spe cific purpose. When they are overloaded or used improperly, injuries are invited. It Is a common practice to bend at the waist when reach ing down to grasp an "object. Lifting in this position places a severe strain on the sensitive back and abdominal muscles. Always bend your knees and keep back straight when it be comes necessary to lift. Examine farm lifting jobs with a critical eye. Rearrange the work to eliminate or reduce the amount of lifting required. When possible, use simple and safe mechanical aids, such as rope hoists, 'vooden skids, hand trucks, or inexpensive convey - ors. ? /' ? Juliette Low, a regional .

Mhum bread IF YOU HAD A MILLION DOLLARS YOU COULDN'T BUY BETTER BREAD QUESTION: Should milk cows be grazed on rape? ANSWER: Dr. George tt. Wise, head, animal nutrition section, State College, says rape is used chiefly as a pasture crop for swine and sheep. It Is also satis factory for cattle, but there are several precautions to observe. If the cows are milkb % they, should be removed from liie rape pasture four or five hours before milking to prevent off-flavor of milk. Plenty of salt should be pro vided to check any undue laxltlve effect. Finally, to reduce chances of bloat, the animals should be fed dry course feeds, such as hay, before they ate put on the rape pasture. Dr. Wise says it is advisable to check the animals frequently dur Weed Killer Helps Cotton. Farmers A product which will help save hand labor for controlling weeds in Cotton fields will be a vallable In commercial quanti ties for the first time this year, It has been announced by the Esso Standard Oil Company. Known as Esso Weed Killer 38, it has previously been obtainable only In limited quantities but is now ready for all planters. The new weed killer helps do away with expensive and hard to-get labor needed for hand hoeing. A complete weed control program for cotton can now be done in three steps: 1. Spray with pie-emergence herbicides; before cotton plants appear. This will help delay the growth of weeds; 2. Spray with weed killer after the cotton plant ls seven days old and twice' more until its stem Is about the size of a lead pencil; 3. From then on the plant Is strong enough to stand flame cultivation. ? The cost of such a program is approximate ly $10.40 per acre as compared to more than $18 per acre for hoe ing. About five years ago the Delta Branch Experiment Station at Stoneville, Miss., discovered that certain products supplied to It by the Esso Laboratories do not harm cotton plant stems but are very effective in killing grasses and most annual weeds. Follow ing Innumerable tests to discov er the formula that gives the mwuc3 i fwiwu^f/ -r?5l ing the first several days to detect any bloating before it reaches the advanced stage.
