I drug company THE CITY'S MODERN STORE Increased Watering Means Extra Income This is the season of the year when North Carolina hog pro ducers get the greatest values from good watering systems for their herds. Hogs use a. great deal more water in hot weather than in cold and the job of providing at least two. gallons per day per hog can be a laborious one where modern equipment is lacking. Hogs cannot .make efficient gains traveling long distances to get water. . Recent observations by livestock specialists indicate that waterers should be located within 300 feet of self-feeding equipment. If they are separated by greater distances, less feed and water are consumed and lower gains result. The best method of supplying water to hogs is through auto matic drinkers attached to a con stant supply of water piped to the field. But since many pas-( tures are too far removed from' the farmstead to make this prac tical, a majority of producers have to haul water to their herds. In this case the use of wagon tanks that carry enough for sev eral capacity fountains or large stock tanks with drinker attach ments is desirable. Big tanks nec essitate fewer trips back and forth. A good management prac tice is to haul the water in con nection with other farming oper ations in the same area. Use of labor saving choretime equipment such as good water ing equipment and self-feeders will help overcome labor short ages and harvest time rush in the care of hogs. North Carolina pork producers are trying to keep costs low this year. Numbers of hogs going to market this fall and winter will likely be plentiful enough to lower prices from pre sent levels. Low cost hogs ar^ al ways the most profitable. Transplanter May Boost Tobacco Crop The recent development of a satisfactory aromatic tobacco transplanter could easily boost North Carolina's acreage of this small leaf crop. R. H. Crouse, agronomy speci alist for the Is\ C. State College Agricultural Extension Service, says the development of the transplanter will cut nut about three-fourths of the labor pre viously required in planting the small plants in. the field. Transplanting was the major bottleneck, Crouse says, in the production of this leaf. The num ber of plants required per acre ? between 60,000 and 70,000 ? required too much time to set in the field. The new and inexpen sive transplanter w">* set the plants in 20 inch rows, spaced five inches apart in the row, in about one- fourth the time re quired when using the hand tran splanter. Aromatic tobacco can now be cultivated artd dusted for insect control by tractor. This, along with other mechani cal improvements such as the air conditioned curer and the wire rods on which the leaf is strung Commissioner's / Second Re-Sale O!

This oc curred on small green fruits as well as on fruits almost Hpe. This is not a disease but rather a "physiological" condition known as blossom-end rot and is caused by periods of dry weather or by periods of excessive rainfall. In periods of dry weather it can be held in check by providing ade quate irrigation. However, don't wait until you have lost a large percentage of your tomatoes; you should irrigate as soon as lack of sufficient moisture is evident. i I examined the tomato plants in my garden a few'days ago and fodnd that I had a very poor set of early fruit. They had been in full bloom during the week that in the field prior to curing, may go a long way toward putting aro matic tobacco on a more competi tive basis with other cash row crops in the Carolinas. we had such cool nights and the blossoms all dropped off Instead of setting fruit. I suspect that tomato plants in many other gar- i df?ns reacted the same way as nine. This will happen when tem peratures are abnormally low (60 degrees F. or lower), or when they are excessively high. Some times there will be heavy blossom drop when we have a period of rainy weather. Blossom drop of tomatoes may be prevented ? especially in pe riods of cool weather ? by spray ing the open blossoms with one of the hormones which sell under I the trade names Fruitone, Sure set. Blossom Set and others. You obtain these " materials at any seed store. In the mountain area it will be necessary to control late- blight if you wish to be successful with I tomatoes. This is the same disease that attacks Irish potatoes. Use | a copper spray such as tribasic copper sulphate or Coppor A j Compound and keep the plants well covered.
