With a problem.”
“The man’’ will come around
almost any day now to check your
farm for compliance with the
1940 A.AA program, announces
E. Y. Floyd, Triple-A executive
officer of State College, and he
urges growers to coo'perate fully
with the compliance supervisors.
Training schools have been held
for ’he compliance checkers, and
the annual visits to every farm
in the State have started.
Floyd asked that farmers Im
mediately notify their county
office v_en they have
planted toh-tcco or cotton, or
both. Every farmer who signed a
Farm Plan Indicating his inten
tion to .participate in the 1940
program will have bis fields com
pletely checked. Other farms also
will be checked if they have a
tobacco or cotton allotment, or
both.
“If the comirflance supervisor
finds that tobacco and cotton
have been planted within acreage
allotments,” Floyd said, “then the
grower will be given a card al
lowing him to sell without pen
alty the entire production of t^
two crops for which marketing
quotas were approved in referen
da last fall. If either one or, both
of the crops Is overplanted, then
the grower will be given a rea
sonable time to plow under
enough to comply with the allot
ment, or face a penalty on ex
cess marketings and loss of Agri
cultural Conservation payments.”
Aerial photographs will speed
the compliance check in the 80
counties where they are available.
We are making every effort
this year to complete the compli
ance check before the harvest of
tobacco and cotton starts,” Floyd
stated, “and we want to urge eve
ry producer to cooperate fully so
that there will be no delay. Have
someone available who knows
the set-up of the farm and the
crops planted in every field, and
the job will be much easier for
the supervisor and will require a
minimum of the farmer’s time.’’

“From Europe every hour
comes new and agonizing details
of destruction and human misery.
War in all Its horror and brutal
ity Is being waged on old men,

the uniformed forces of peace-
loving nations.
“Hundreds of thousands are
fleeing headlong before ruthlees

with little hope. They leave be

of livelihood. Their flight Is
menaced by destruction from the

"To the’.r aid the American Red
Cross Is rushing medical and hos

ambulances and warm clothing. It
has called upon the people of
America to express their sym

by the raising of at least ten
millions of dollars for their re
lief.
“The Wilkes Chapter’s share
of this relief fund is $800.00.
There can be no douiht that ouj
people will gladly oversubscribe
this amount. They have full con
fidence that their Red Cross will
administer these funds In a man

Two Types of Insects
Eat Flowers, Shrubs
21 Children Die
Of Auto Accidents
During 3 Months
Tmik Strset
North Wllkesboro, N. C.
Raleigh.—The fact that twen
ty-one children were killed on
North Carolina streets and high
ways the first three months of
this year Is viewed by Ronald
Hocutt, Director of the Highway
Safety Division, as a stern chal
lenge to everyone interested in
safety, but particularly to North
Carolina parents.
‘Pending the fulfillment of our
hope of having safety taught in
every school in North Carolina,
the responsibility for teaching our
children safety habits must lie
chiefly with their parents
Hocutt.
The safety director pointed out
that the 21 traffic fatality victims
under 15 years of age Included
nine who were crossing or playing
in the street or roadway,' one
skated in front of a car, one bi
cyclist who disregarded a stO'p
sign, and one child on a sled.
“If parents expect their chil
dren to walk, play, skate and
ride bicycles In a safe manner,
they must take it upon themselves
to impress their children with the
Importance of safe practices and
the dangers of wrong practices,”
Hocutt said.
“If your child ridee a bicycle,
see that he or she learns safe
cycling habits, preferably by
joining a Bicycle Clnb, If there is
one In your community; If yonr
child owns skates, teach him not
to skate in the street; and, a-
bove all, see that your child
doesn’t play In ♦he street, that he
learns to look bbforo crossing the
street or road, and that he culti
vates safe pedestrian habits.
"It is better that yonr child
learn the lessons of safety
through teaching, not through ex
perience.’’
If Insects are attacking your
flowers and shru'bs, loo'k at their
mouths for a key to the method
by which they can be controlled,
says J. O. Rowell, Extension en
tomologist of N. C. State College.
’There are, generally speaking,
two major groups of Insect ene
mies of flowers and shrugs from
the standpoint of control,’’ he de
clared. “The first group are those
with chewing mouth parts, and
these are controlled, for the most
part, by the use of stomach i>oi-
aons. 'The second group includee
those insects with sucking mouth
parts, and these are best controll
ed through the use of contact in
secticides and fumigants.”
Rowell said that the “chewing
Insects” include grasshoppers,
leaf chafers, and caterpillers.
Their Injury usually consists of
biting out portions of the leaves
or stems, producing a ragged ap
pearance or conrplete defoliation.
Insects with sucking-mouth parts
generally are very small and,
therefore, difficult to identify.
They Include plant Hce, scale In
sects, and leaf hopiters. They suck
tbecduic*.frun lh«-#laaU, oMutsc
discoloration and stunting of the
affected stems or leaves.
Arsenate of lead is recommend
ed tiy Rowell as a stomach poison
for the "chewing Insects,” and a
contact insecticide of nicotine for
the other group.
“Certain, sucking Insects, like
the scale insects, have a waxy
coating over their bodies and
maJies It very difficult to reach
a vital spot with chemicals. Oil
emulsions work beet on these in
sects,” the entomologist advised.
He suggests a combination
stomach poison and contact spray
if there is any doubt about the
kind of insect being attacked.
This Is prepared by adding 1-2
ounce of soap and 1 teaspoonful
of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate
to each gallon of arsenate of
lead solution, which is made up
by mixing three teaspoonfuls of
sale ' arsenate of lead powder to one
gallon of water.
