Will Be Lucky With Locust This Year North Carolina will be lucky with Its locust* this year. Only one of the smallest broods of the 13-year variety will appear Dr. David L. Wray, curator of the Insect collection of the N. C. Department of Agricul ture, has announced. "Brood 20, as this year's race of Insects Is known, will appear In Wilkes and surrounding counties In late May or early June. Its last appearance was In 1M7 and follows last year's book 19, which Is perhaps the largest. 1061 will reveal an even larger brood emerging than in 1059," Dr. Wray said. "Locusts are found only in the eastern part of the United States and generally east of the Mississippi River. There are 30 broods In all but North Carolina has only 10, three broods of the 13-year variety and seven of the 17-year kind. \ "Although damage will not be particularly wide spread, the major destruction occurs when the female lays her eggs. During the egg-laying process the female Inserts her 'saw' Into the bark of the tender twigs on young trees making a silt some two or three Inches long. Into this slit she deposits long rows of eggs. The slitting of the bark causes the twig to die. "Eggs of the locust hatch in six to seven weeks and the resulting nymphs fall to the ground. They; burrow until they find roots to feed upon, sucking juices from the tree's system. They feed underground, about two feet deep, for 13 or 17 years depending upon the variety. In the spring of the year when they are due to emerge, the nearly grown nymphs move with in two inches of the surface and await their 'magic night.' On this night, the nymphs leave the ground by the millions and crawl to any object where they at tach themselves. They emerge from their nympal cases, becoming adults, and within a few hours are fully matured. By dawn they are ready to Join with thousands of others in their familiar chorus. Within a week, mating occurs, the females lay their eggs and the cycle continues. The adults live four or five weeks after emergence. "Broods have been larger In the past but the con tinual process of clearing lands has reduced their numbers. Brood 20 of the locust is quite localized in North Carolina, along with the neighboring states of western Virginia, eastern Tennessee, and farther south in northern Georgia." For protection against the locusts. Dr. Wray sug-j gests covering young trees with tobacco-cloth before! the emergence period, and not planting orchards near larger and older growth in forests. The insect does not appear regularly every year. Dr. Wray keeps records on those appearing in North Carolina and can predict the emergence of the various broods over the years. The cicada, or locust, resembles the "dry weather" fly or harvest fly except that the latter is smaller and has a reddish color, and never appears in such large numbers or makes as much; noise as the locust. Brasstown To Get New Post Office By August Postmaster General Arthur E. r Summerfield has announced that < a contract has been signed for the construction and rental to the Post Office Department of a new , Post Office Building in Brasstown. ( The successful bidder is W. t Gwen Cornwell of Brasstown. t Ground breaking and construction t of the new post office is expected ; to begin immediately, with com- 1 pletion due August 1. 1960. The [ rental agreement is for a fixed , term of five years with two two- ; year renewa loptions. This modern post office will ( be located on Suttiwig Road, south- t east of present quarters. It will ( provide 750 square feet of interior j space, an outside loading plat- | form, and ample hard-surfaced ; space for parking and truck man- c euvering. Specifications call for i new modern lighting an dequip- 1 ment. including a low. open patron service counter. f Postmaster General Summer field stated, "this is another im- 1 portant step in the Post Office t Department's Modernization Pro- ? gram authorized in the last ses- I sion of the Congress to improve s postal services for the public by I providing new buildings and equip- ' GARDEN TIME Perhaps this is a good time to ' answer a backkiog of question. How often should jonquils be i dug and separated? At least once every three years if you want : large flowers. Some prefer to lift and separate the bulblets every year They may be lifted, divided and re-set immediately or the bulbs may be stored in a cool place and planted this fall. Wait until the leaves turn brown before digging. Do you recommend the use of starter solutions? If so, how are they prepared? A starter solution is especially desirable when transplanting to matoes and similar crops. Dis solve three level tablespoonfuls of an 8-M fertiliser in one gallon of water several hours before needed. Stir well before using and apply one measuring cup of the solution to each plant. High ana lysis soluble starter solutions may be purchased from your seed or fertilizer dealer. If these are used, follow instructions for dilut ing with water How should dahlia clumps be divided before planting? Examine rach clump 'or rootstock) closely before dividing. Have a good sharp knife with a stiff blade. Locate the buds at the base of the old stem. They do not form on the roots. Carefully remove a section of stem, containing the bud, and leave one root attached. You can make as many divisions as you have buds at the base of the stem. nent. designed for efficient andi economical mail-handling." He said that , "Under the Post Office Department's unique Com nercial Leasing Program, the De lartment now is awarding con racts for new postal facilities at he accelerated rate of over five >uildings every working day. To ichieve complete modernization of he postal plant, a total of 12,000 ?st offices must be modernized Dr replaced due to lack of space ind obsolescence." Addition further details concer ling postal service today, he noted hat. "our more than 35,000 post >ffices are handling a total of 62 >illion pieces of letter mail and >arcel post annually. This is an ill - time record and an increase if more 24 percent above the ipproximately SO billion pieces landled annual only 10 years ago." He pointed out that the postal acility to be built in Brasstown is typical of many others going lp elsewhere throughout the coun ry. "These new post offices, he aid. "contain not only the modern j jatron-service counters and eyc ?aving fluorescent lighting, but >rovision is made for patron ser vice after regular business hours." The Postmaster General also Minted out that the new post >ffice in Brasstown. one of 1400 new post ottices to De ouui in private ownership while rented :o the Federal Government, and lence will pay local real estate laxes to bear its share of the ;ost of local Government. The Postmaster General said, "mail users will find mail service in the years ahead improved through an unprecedented five year program of scientific postal research and engineering." 'The Post office Department has under development." he said, "a machine that actually reads addresses on letters and sorts the mail in special slots? ready for dispatch. Another machine sep arates rapidly moving mail ac cording to address by pushbut ton keyboard. Still another cancels mail at speeds of 30.000 letters an hour.Now being considered for use in a new compact customer operated "Postal Substation" with mechanical devices that .sell stamps, envelopes, money orders, accepts parcel poet and makes change. "Mail - handling on the work room floors of our large post offices is rapidly being mechaniz ed which will end the old fashioned methods of hand-labor, and the resultant clutter and confusion." Mr. Summerfield further stated "We are making great strides in speeding the mail into and out of our large "gateway post of fices" by the installation of me chanical and electronic machines. Their installation in these large mail volume post offices will result in faster main service U every other poet office, whether it be in a large city or smaii town, bringing nearer the Poet Office Department's goal of next NICE CATCH Hubert and Trip Bourne ore shown with o nice string they caught at Hiwassee Lake last week-end.

THIS IS THE LAW TIMBER CONTRACTS < The Hudson Lumber Company I wants to cut and remove all tbe l trees in excess of a given size I from a tract of land belonging < to Dawson. The price and other details of the transaction have | been orally agreed upon by Daw- I son and the Hudson Lumber Com- ! pany. Is the oral agreement be- < tween the parties valid and en forceable? i No. This is a type -of contract that the law requires to be in ; writing. < Standing trees are just as much I a part of the land as houses or ' buildings erected thereupon. As a I consequence, a contract to sell or | convey growing trees, or any in- i terest in or concerning them, | must not only be in writing but < also executed with all of the for- I malities required for a transfer ol 1 real property. i A contract to sell growing' trees to be cut and removed by]" the purchaser, does not transfer ' to the purchaser the ownership to the land, but it does give to him the right to enter upon the land and to carry away that which is part of the land. Being a tran sfer of an interest in real property, the transaction must be in writ ing. As between the parties them selves, a written contract to con vey standing timer is valid without registration in the county court house. It can be specifically enforced or sued upon. But in order to be inforceable against creditors of the landowner and other purchasers for a valu able consideration from the land owner. the written contract must be probated and registered in the court house as required by statute. It is to the interest of the buyer of the timberf rights to see that his contract is properly reg istered in the court house of the; county in which the land is situat- 1 ed. If he doesn't, and the land owner sells his land to a purchaser for value, the buyer of the tim ber has lost his right to cut and remove the timber. Bailey orally agrees to cut and! Broom Sale Set By Andrews Club The Andrews Lions Club will have their annual Broom Sale May 12. Lions will canvass the town from 6 to 9 p.m. The club expressed advance thanks to the people who will con tribute and cooperate. The next meeting of the Lions Club will be held at Hampton ; Grill, May 12. i, ieliver all of the standing tin ier on a tract of land he owns to .be Thompson Lumber Company 'or an agreed price. Is the oral contract valid? Yes. Bailey has made a contract ;o deliver cut trees or logs to he Thompson Lumber Company. Such are items of personal prop ;rty. Contracts concerning per ionnal property are not required to be in writing. This is not a contract involving an interest in land, since the cutting and delivery of the logs ay the owner constitutes a con version of the standing timber :rom real property into personal property Bailey had merely agreed to sell the lumber com pany personal property that was race real property. The transac tion does not involve a transfer ;o the lumber company of an interest in land. Your Guardian Angel TUSSY DEODORANTS Crum ? Stick ? Roll-on For * limited tinM only. ph? tax MAUNEY Drug Co.
