Virginia Bear
Hunt Reported
The Journal-Patriot has receiv
ed the following account of a
bear hunt from one of its read
ers:
"Freel Joinee, Charlie Johnson,
Landon Frazier, Jim Frazier and
Harvey Key, of the Fkiirplalns
community, went on a bear hunt
in Balsam mountains- in Vlrgin-
it last week. There the ibeare had
been killing so many sheep that
a penrnlt to hunt them was given.
"It was reported that while
Mr. Key was looking for a dog
which had strayed that he become
separated from the remainder of
the party and met one of the bigg
est black bears he had ever seen
and with the big hear was her
cub. Not having a gun at the
The first of State College’s
rammer conventions for farm
people will be held June 4-8,
when rural iboys and girts between
18 and 25 will gather on the
campus for the fourth annual
Older Youth oCnference.
Begun in 1937 to provide a
brief educational and inspiration
al period for young men and wom
en, the conference bas attracted
an increasing number of delegates
each year.
While most of those attending
are memibers of older youth or
service clubs, any boy or girt
within this age group may at

and mama hear immediately gave
chase.
'The bear was evidently win
ning the race so Mr. Key decid
ed to make a last ditch stand. He
stopped, backed up against a
stump and opened his jack knife.
’The bear halted for breath a rod
away and sat down, surveying her
victim gloatingly. Not given to
praying but deciding that it was
time to begin he is reported to
have petitioned thusly: ’If you are
on my side let my knife get him
quick, or if you’re on his side let
him finish me quick. But if you
are neutral just stand by and see
one of the darnedest bear fights-
you ever heard tell of’.’’
'The news report was decidedly
incomplete because it did not give
the outcome of the fight hut It
was learned on unimpeachable
authority that the hear hunting
party killed a numher of ground
hogs tlittle ones).
College Recommends
3 Blue Mold Controls
LMrs. Mabel Smlthey and Miss
Joye Miller, of North Wilkesboro
route 3, attended the graduation

fyiday. May 24th. 'They were ac-
Ijornpanled home by Miss Con
stance Smlthey. who was a mem-
of the graduaUng class of
Mare Hill College.
■Mrs W. D. Halfacre and Cap-
In and Mrs. J. Wilson Smith
ve just returned from Lexing-
u .-Va., where they visited Gen-
l*and Mrs. Charles Kllboum,
V/M. I. Captain Smith, who
a brother of Mrs. Halfacre,
Smith and little daughter,
Christina, are from Fort
Corregldor, Phllliplne Is-
and have been here vlalt-
"th» HnHners home.
Three, and only three, methods
of controlling blue mold are
recommended by the State Col
lege Extension Service and Ex
periment Station. Dr. Luther
Shaw, Extension plant patholo
gist. says farmers should play
safe and adopt a control method
which has been proven in labora
tory and field tests.
The first of these, and the most
effective in the majority of tests,
is fumigation with paxadlchloro-
henzene. ’This material consists of
solid white crystals. When pur
chased In 100 and 200-pound loU,
the price ranges from 12 to 15
cents per pound. The crystals are
spread over the regular seed bed
cover and a heavier cover Is then
placed over the entire k»ed and
fastened securely to prevent es
cape of the vapors.
The second recommended treat
ment is also a fumigant. It is
benzol (benzene) and comes In
liquid form. It also requires tight
plant bed covers. The cost of ben
zol is usually 20 to 30 cents per
gallon.
The third treatment is a spray,
and there are two formulas
recommended. One consists of 6
ounces of yellow copper oxide, 6
ounces of a relable spreader, such
as Vastol OTC. Orvus, or Leth-
ane; one quart of cottonseed oil,
and 25 gallons of water. Prefer
ably from a pond or stream.
The other formula calls for 6
ounces of yellow copper oxide, 1
quart of self emulsified cotton
seed oil, and 25 gallons of water,
preferably from a pond or stream.
If the spray treatment is used,
It should be started when the
plants are the size of a dime;
