■ -giggjggr — SPOKES Anns I | ~., ,■.—■■■■ - “A 4-H Club Member Lives. Here” is a sign you often see as you travel country roads on hunting and fishing trips. Behind the 4-H signs live nearly two million rural boys and girls, many of whom will one day own much of the land on which we hunt. How well they take care of the soil and water, the green forests and the native wildlife, will influence to ai great extent the future production of the nation, including the game crop. Martial Bertin, a club official, re ports that last year 179,000 boys and girls took work in soil conservation. They established permanent pastures, sowed fall cover crops, sodded water ways, maintained terraces, practiced contour strip cropping and engaged in other related soil and. water-saving activities.. Conservation of forests is another step in 4-H conservation work. Al most 150,000 members are carrying on forestry conservation. They leafn and practice planting and proper cut ting of trees, they learn how a forest conserves water. They study protec tion against fire, and other aspects of keeping our forests green and healthy. More than 180,000 boys and girls received training in wildlife and na ture study programs last year. For example, in cooperation with the <seorgia State Game and Fish Com mission, about 4,000 quail eggs were •delivered to 4-H members. They, were •given instruction in game conserva tion and management. Similar pro grams are being conducted in other •states in such phases of wildlife con servation as protection of wildlife areas, planting of trees and shrubs that produce edible wild fruits and nuts, construction and management of ponds for fish and migratory fowl.

Teaching conservation to club mem bers is done both in and out of doors. The work is carried on through camps, leadership training meetings, illus trated talks, motion pictures, field trips, discussion groups and in many i other ways. The members are doing ■ia man-size job in helping conserve our natural resources. Their success will mean not only good farm soil in the years to come, but happier hunt ing, fishing, hiking and other outdoor recreation for all Americans. - Senator Willis Smith Joins In Fight For Conservation Program Senator Willis Smith has joined Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia in a fight to restore funds to the soil ' conservation program, lopped off by . the House of Representatives. Said Smith: “While everybody is in . favor of economy, it would be penny wise and pound foolish for us to turn | our backs on this program which has ' meant so much to our farm prosper , ity.” i Smith said that his travels in Eu . rope has given him an opportunity to , note the “impoverished farm land in • foreign countries and the resultihg , food shortages.” He added that the necessary money ■ for soil conservation is a “mere drop • in the bucket” and should be restored ! in full. ■ . .

Products following sheets as cotton consumers were shirts, automobiles, men’s trousers and drapery-upholst ery-slipover fabrics. These five top customers accounted for almost a fourth of the estimated cotton con sumption. Sheets consumed 523,000 bales of cotton in 1952. Cotton used in men’s shirts increased last year, accounting for a total of 475,000 bales. Automobiles required 460,480 bales during the year. The use of cotton in men’s trousers jumped-11 per cent in 1952 over the preceding year. Total • cotton consumed in men’s trousers reached 449,930 bales. Drapery-upholstery-slipcover fabrics used 425,000 bales in 1952. Who Can Compete With A Moon? “Caroline is false to the league,” a girl growled at a strawberry festival. “False?

Tobacco Plagued By Bud Worms Reported to Be Worse In Chowan Than In Sev eral Years Bud worms in tobacco are worse than they have been in several years, according to Assistant County Agent Robert S. Marsh, and many farmers have consulted the county agent’s of fice concerning their control. Many farmers have mixed arsenic with land plaster before applying to the tobacco plants. In most cases this mixture has given good results. How ever, it has not proved satisfactory this year. If the arsenic is mixed at the rate of one pound to 75 pounds of corn meal and a pinch is added to each I bud it should control the bud worm. It is very important to mix the poison and the meal thoroughly before using. If a farmer prefers to use a dust, then he can use 5 per cent DDT or 10 per cent TDE. It is only necessary to dust either of these chemicals into each bud. For grasshopper control a 5 per cent chlordane dust should be used at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. cllIB I I too moot IIQUIUR This dust should not be used on the tobacco plants, but only on the grass and weeds around the edge of the field. A 2% per cent aldrin dust can also be used at the same rate and in the same manner as the chlordane dust to con trol grasshoppers. If Chowan farmers are having seri -1 ous insect or disease problems with their tobacco they should consult the county agent’s office as soon as they discover the trouble.

ONE— North Carolina have been named hon orary trustees of Old Salem, Inc., which is sponsoring the restoration of the village established in 1766, and now a part of the industrial city of Winston-Salem. In excess of $500,000 has already been raised toward the restoration. The goal is $2,000,000. The restora tion of the Lick-Boner house, the first in the program, was completed last year. A tavern, store and museum will be open to the public, as well as residences as they are restored. Power in its last particle, is duty. —John Foster. Page Seven
