SB six _ litT Ibing To WLW CtBcInnatl, Aug. 8. — Don ., White, known tor many years as •8am Brlarhopper,” and Fred Kirby, the ‘‘Smiling Cowboy,’• known together as the “Carolina Boys,‘’ are the most recent addi tions to the staff of WLW’s rur al entertainers. Coming from WBT. Charlotte, North Carolina, they joined the staff of the Na tion’s Station Tuesday, August 1. White, whose real tame Is Walden Whytsell, and Kirby, are both radio veterans of nine years’ standing: White was a member of “A1 Hopkins’ Original Hillbil lies,’’ who were first heard over WRC, Washington, D. C.. in 1930. About the same time Kir by was launching his radio career with a program of his own over WIS, Columbia, South Carolina. Both are versatile entertain lie had met some months before, happened along. Kirby asked him tp try the song with him—once over lightly. It was just what Kirby and the recording agent wanted. So they made the , re cording together and have stuck together ever since. Thus began the “Carolina Boys.” White is author of h song book comprised of his collected moun tain songs, which last year was published by American Music. Inc., of Portland, Oregon. Kir’jy writes song, both rural tunes and Irish ballads, many of which he sings on his programs. But he calls his song-writing a hobby. Kirby has had a screen test in Hollywood and plans to direct his energies toward the motion pic tures within the next year or two. He’s good looking. Among the sports both hoys enjoy tenuis and horse back rid ing. But While has one peculiarly his own.

Vetch, .\iistrian winter peas, and "leaned crim.son clover seed ma" he sown daring the latter half of August in growing crops such as corn, cotton, and tobacco. The best lime to sow alfalfa is dur ing the last week of August. Oth er suggestions are: begin filling silo as soon es the corn is well blazed: watch small grain in storage and treat for moths and weevils when necessary; and make plans for reorganizing your farm with a good crop rotation system, to begin with your fall sown crops. Dandelions R. T,. Lovvorn, agronomist in fo.age crop inve.atigations, offers this suggestion: A 2 per cent so lution by weight of copper ni trate. applied at the rate of 200 gallons of water per acre, is one of the best chemical mixtures known for the control of dande lions in the lawn or pasture. The spraying should be done on a clear day, preferably in the morn ing. For small areas, 1 1-2 pounds of copper nitrate dissolved in 7 1-2 gallons of water is suffi cient to spray 1,000 square feet one time. Plant Diseases Dr. R. Frank Poole, plant path ologist of the Experiment Station at State College, comes forth with these suggestions on com mon plant disease. Spray your 'apple trees with two pounds of copper sulphate, plus two pounds of lime, plus 50 gallons of water to control common summer rot; -spread onions on wire or latticed hoards well above the floor in a dry and well-aired place to pre vent rots: give air to the tobac co iu storage when necessary lo iirevent moldy condition; knock I'cach mummies caused by tirowii ml from the trees to prevent ser- iens lilightin.;, of itie limiis; and Iiick cowpeas when mature to liii'veiii hlac'tenitig and ib'cav that nsimlly follow periods of wet wculhfr.

In his telegrams today. the commissioner said: “A 1 1 relief workers except (warl veterans who have lieen eonlinuoiisly employed on WPA jirojerts for IS months or more . . , must he disini.ssed nrior to August 31, and after August 31 all relief workers except veterans who have been continuously em ployed for 18 months must be discharged at termination of such continuous employment.” Harrington did not estimate the number yet to be dismissed, hut he had said previously that the art called upon him to drop approximately 650.000 persons by September 1. The number di.s- mlssetl prior to suspension of the policy was probably negligible, he added. In New York alone, official? reported that 55.000 relief work ers would be dismissed between now and September 1, at the rate of 2,500 a day. They said 20,000 had been discharged there before the policy was suspended. Harrington's telegrams today said that no person discharged because of the 18-month rule would be eligible for reassign ment to 'WPA 'work until 30 days after his dismissal, and then only if relief authorities certified that he was In need. Such certification would not entitle the discharged employee to immediate reassignment to a project, the commissioner said, but merely to have his name placed in the file of those await ing assignment.
