To Destroy the Caterpillar Pest. A caller at this office tells us that caterpillars are very numerous and threatening the destruction of frpit trees.

Sixty hogs on the experimental farm at Wenona in Washington county have made aD average daily gain of 2.4 pounds during tbe past 97 days. These hogs were fed the same ration as rec ommended to farmers in that sec tion. Handsome Stone to Be Elected to Jacob Bason, Pioneer in N. C- of the Bason Family. Other News Items William H. Bason of Raleigh was here today collecting information concerning Jacob liaeon, the pio neer member of the family iu.North Carolina. Jacob Bason was born in 1725, reached North Carolina in 1750, and settled in the region now known as the Hawfielda of Alamance couDty. Hie will is preserved in the Orange county records; it is dated March 4, 1800. His four hundred acre farm was near Haw river. His wife was Margaret Sharp. The Basons came to North Carolina from Pennsylvania, and much of their history is to be found in Vol. 2, 3rd series of the Pennsyl vania archives. From the will of William Penn of Pennsylvania, we learn that he married the widow of a certain William Bason (will made in 1067). In the book "50,000 Original Emigrants in the U. S." mention is made of John Bason and Rockingham Bason. Jacob Bason, the pioneer, served in the war of the Revolution, and was active in the work of Hawfielda church which was founded in 1755. On these church grounds stood a log cabin erected for use by him daring the camp meetings of the early days. His grave is in the Hawfielda cemetery located near Mebsne, plainly marked by a stone bearing the inscriution "J. B. 1800." It is proposed to replay this early atone by a handsome marker to be erected at some early date whic\t will be made the occasion for a reunion of the Bason families and all the sev eral families connected with them by marriage in the earlier yeara, such as Sellars, Whitsett, Murray, Sharp and others. There are many survivors of the Bason family still scattered over Alamance coanty and in other places. The majori y of the graves of the earlier members are to be found in the Hawfielda cemetery, and in old Stoner's burial ground near Bellmont mills in Ala mance county, which is rich in early history, although long neglected on account of the moving of the church that once stood there. Old Stoner's burial ground is well worth a visit because of its picturesque location just in the triangle where the waters of two streams join at the foot of a bold promontory. It is near state route 62, Qraham to Liberty. County Agent Work Improves General Farming. Robeson county, noted through out North Carolina as a leading cotton and tobacco growing sec tion, is making radical changes in its agricultural practices and much of this change is due to the teachings of the farm and home demonstration agents. "An indication of this change is seen in the shipment of about four cars of shelled corn from one section of our county this spring," deolares J. A. Sharpe, editor of the Robesonian, local county paper. "A few years ago ship ments of corn from this con my were unheard of. Rather we were importing corn, and not only corn but tremendous amounts of other feed and foodstuffs. I am in formed by some of our leading supply merchants that the farm ers are not depending on imported meat aud aro not buying as much hay ss in former years. Then, too, we are growing and shipping much wore poultry and truck crops. In my opinion, the farm and home demonstration work has paid excellent returns in R)boson ounty." Mr. Sharpe states that the work done by Cju ity Agent O. O. Dukes and the home agent, Miss Flora Lee Carl, has hail excellent resulis. Mr. Dukes has been county agent in Kobetgm county for about ten years aud during Jhat period has demonstrate J that other crops than cotton aud to bacco can be grown to supply ready cash Showing <he growth of interest in truck crops, Mr. Dukes report# that in 192'i, seven cars of soap beans were shipped. In 1927, this Was increased loTa cars an I the oiitli-ok for iliis y ar is for a substantial increase. Iii addition to the shipments of poultry, snap lieans and oorn, | Robeson couuty farmers are now i interested in dairying Oue of the most successful sales of pure bred bulls ever held in eastern North Carolina was held at Lumberton recently. Farmers have beguu regular shipments of cream and one cream shipping station has | been established at Maxton. These, states Mr. Sharpe, are only a few of the things which [ indicate a new interest, in divers!-' fled farming throughout the eouu-! ty The North Carolina hen will be honored during the week of May I to 7 which has been designated aa "National Egg Week." 1 Grow velvet Bean* For Soil Improvement. Velvet beans, while not recom mended for hay, are as valuable for soil improvement as soybeans or cow peas and at the same time cost only half as much. "The best way to plant this crop for good results is with corn,' says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. "They will do as well or better with corn than if planted aloue and the grower will receive a profit from the corn in addition to improving his soil." The corn and beans should be planted iu alternate rows, three feet apart, dropping the beans six inches apart on poor soil and about one foot apart on rich soils. Cultivate the oorn until the bean vines have covered the middle. In this way a ton or more of veg etation, worth $14.00 in plant food alone, will be added to each acre planted to these crops. On light sandy land or on very poor soils velvet beans make a much better growth than do soy beans, while on good land they make equally as good a growth and are much more valuable as a fall grazing crop. Cattle may be turned into the fields at frost and grazed until the vines and seed are gone. Where the beans are planted for grazing purposes, it is a good plau to plaut two rows of corn to one of velvet beans. This gives a clear space between rows for harvesting the corn an 1 will also furnish sufficient grazing for the average farm animals. Mr. Blair states that velvet beans and the Biloxi variety of soybeans grow together with ex cellent re.* ults. The heavy stalks of the soybeans help to hold up the beans which makes for a larger growth and a corresponding increase in value to the land as well as grazing. Kill Potato Bugs With Calcium Araenate. Calcium arsenate, familiarly known in North Carolina as an efficient poison for the control of the cotton boll weevil, is also one of the best poisons for the com mon potato bug or Colorado Pota to beetle. "Calcium arsenate is the cheap est poison that potato growers can use at the present time for the control of the Colorado Potato beetle," says C. H. Brannon, ex tension entomologist at State Col lege. "Those who grow potatoes know that this insect can com pletely destroy the plants in a short while if no control measure is used. Calcium arsenate may tie used either as a dust or as a spray and is absolutely effective if properly applied." In using the material as a dust, Mr. Brannon advises that the po tato plants be covered well. The amount to use will depend on the size of the plants aud the ma terial may be applied satisfactori ly if the regular cotton dusters are used. There is little danger of burning the foliage but too much poison should not be need for the sake of economy. Recent teste show thft good control is secured by this method of poison ing. However, It should be kept in mind that the.arsenate is not a control for plant diseases but for insects alone. If desired, a spray may be made by using two pounds of the cal cium arsenate to 50 gallons of wa ter. For the grower with only a small ?acreage, a spray may be prepared by using 10 tablespoons ful to three gallons of water. In auy event, the applications of either dust or spray should be started as soon as the beetles ap pear iu numbers and should be continued just as often as the boetles become numerous. L. N. Rouse of Wake county grazed a herd of hogs from 8ep timber to March 16 on eight acres of corn and soybeans. He fed only a small amount of ooru and iu addition to carrying three brood sows and a imar in the field, he sold over 2,000 pounds of meat so falleued. Norvia Lee, the little eiz-weeks old daughter of Mr. end Mrs. Wet don .Jones, died here on Wednesday morning of last week. The body of the little one was oerried to Big Meadows church, Chatham oonnty, Tuesday for burial. farmers iu North Carolina who have kept records on their poultry flocks and hog feed inn work Me now including many other phases of their farming activity. They say that these records show when they are making s profit. Velvet beans, planted in corn rows, will add ?14.00 worth of plant food per sore at s eost of only fifty cents.
