Many Visit Mrs. Beasley
Mr. C. W. Beasley’s friends have
been very kind and loyal to him in
his trying hours, while watching and
waiting for a ray of hope for the re
covery of Mrs. Beasley, who is very
ill at Edgecombe General Hospital in
Tarboro.
The anxiety for Mrs. Beasley has
been very keen throughout the town
and community. She has been such a
useful woman, and is greatly loved
by a host of friends.
Although Mrs. Beasley is too ill
to have visitors, those who went to
Tarboro last week to be near her, and
to try to comfort Mr. Beasley were:
Dr. Credle and Mrs. James White on
Monday; Messrs. M. H. White and

U. S. Tenants Willing To
Pay For Repairs In Rent
Better Housing surveys in widely
divergent sections of the nation have
revealed a willingness on the part of
tenants to pay higher rents, provid
ed certain greatly needed repairs and
improvements are made on the prop
erties they occupy.
Such an attitude is most preva
lently evident among that class of
renters who, until recent years, were
owners of their own homes, and also
by that large portion of the popula
tion who are definitely “home-loving”
but live in rented property because
of the transient nature of their occu
pations.
Over a wide territory the consen
sus of surveyors was that the major
ity of tenants have a definite con
sciousness of the value of property,
the sources of depreciation and the
value of protecting property from
deterioration. The average renter
takes the position that it,is not only
to his best interest but also to that of
the landlord to keep properties in a
constant state of repair.

A LTHOUGH you can shut the

pear, your living room must always

bre silk curtains in my living room,

cotton to lighten up the draperies.

New Type Os Spraying
Controls Peach Damage ]
-*' - >
Arsenate of lead sprays will not
damage peach trees when zinc sul
phate has been added to the solution, i
says Dr. R. F. Poole, plant patholo- 1
gist for the North Carolina Experi
ment Station.
The zinc sulphate counteracts the
injurious effect of lead arsenate on
the trees, but does not impair the
effect of the spray in controlling dis
ease and insect pests.
When arsenate of lead and lime are
sprayed on the trees without zinc
sulphate, Poole adds, the leaves,
twigs, and fruit are usually damaged.
Some of the trees have been known
to lose three fourths of their foliage
as a result of arsenical injury.
Experiments conducted within this
State during the past five years have
demonstrated that a spray composed
of three pounds of zinc sulphate, one
pound of lead arsenate, and five
pounds of hydrated lime to 50 gal
lons of water may be used safely.
When zinc sulphate was added to
all sprays carrying arsenate of lead,
Poole points out, the trees were not
only free from injury but they also
retained their foliage throughout the
season.
Zinc sulphate may be used in either
the crystal, flake, or powder form.
Since some of the forms contain more
water than the others, Poole says, a
smaller amount of the powder form
is needed than of the crystals and
flakes.
