our modern way of life.
Know The
Weather
Is the hurricane season over?
Why do these storms strike only
in the east?
No the hurricane season is
not over. These storms may be
gin as early as August and often
occur in October and even into
November. By December they
are usually a thing of the past.
Hurricanes strike the eastern
United States and occasionally the
middle states via the Guf, be
cause they spawn over water.
Their course is either north or
northeast, though they some
times move northwest out of the
Gulf.
They seldom if ever strike
the west coast of the United
States and should they do so, the
Rocky Mountains protect the
western states, arting as a bar
rier which breaks up such storms
as they move westward.
Thus, the western states are
tree from these tropical-bred
maritime cyclones.

'Quired by
Garden Time
. . ii.
By M. E. GARDNER
I have just read in ? national
magazine under the caption
"Plant These More Often" an
article about |D u t e h m a n'?
Breeches? Dicentra cucularia.
Searching back into my mem
ory 1 seemed to associate the
plant, Dutchman's Breeches,
with an outbreak of "blind stag
ger*" among livestock in south
west Virginia. This was a good
number of years ago.
Having aroused my curiosity,
I consulted Dr. Hardin's bulle
tin, "Poisonous Plants of North
Carolina," and confirmed my
suspicion. I also checked with
a member of the staff in Vet
erinary Science.
Dutchman's Breeches con
tains several alkaloids which
poison cattle when eaten. This
plant ia found in the deep
woods and cliffs in most of our
mountain counties and, locally,
in a small area of the Pied
mont.
It does make a good garden
plant, however, if placed in a
shaded spot between rocks and
in good soil. The name comes
from the small divided blossoms
which resemble a pair of mini
ature Dutchman's breeches. The
plant flowers from April
through May producing four to
eight cream or creamy-pink
blossoms on slender stems 6 to
12 inches high.
While we are on the subject
of poisons, I have warned you
so many times about the proper
use of insecticides that I have
almost promised myself not to
raise the subject again. How
ever, disturbing news again
comes, by way of the newspa
pers, of the death of a little
two-year-old and the illness of
many others in the same county,
caused by parathion poisoning.
This will probably not happen
again in this community but
the sacrifice of the little one
is too high a price to pay for
adult ignorance and careless
ness.
We inspect privies sepuc
tanks, barbate cans, slaughter
houses and kitchens. Are gar
bage cans and eockroachen more
important than human lives?
Why not include the tobacco
barn, the machinery shed or
wherever pesticides are stored
in our ins portions? Require
safe storage and use of pesti
cides by legislation, if neces
sary, because we will be using
these materials as long as we
produce food and fiber.
