Should Care care should be taken when using inflammable insecti cides to spray barns, corn cribs, and train storages, says Davtd S. "Weaver, head of the depart* ment of Agricultural Engineer ing at State College. Carbon bisulfide of "high life", as It is commonly called, is one of the most dangerous sprays, he stated, adding that this insecticide ls more explos ive than gasoline and it can ig nite from the heat of a steam pipe. If inflammable fumigants and Insecticides muqt be used, he pointed out, they should never be kept inside of a building hous ing persons or animals, and nev er, under any circumstances, should anyone strike a match within ten feet of a building which ls being fumigated. * When using these Inflammable insecticides, Mr. Weaver said, be sure there ls an approved fire •xtnigulsher handy. There are extinguishers especially design ed to put out chemical fires quickly and effectively. He cautioned against using in secticides which produce harmful fumes, explaining that the gases or fumes set up by some fumi gants can cause a Serious lung condition that often results in death.

Sprays which have a fire haz ard less than kerosene are con sidered safe, he added. Never theless, a fire extinguisher near by provides necessary protection. . u Good Seed Necessary For Maximum Yields ' North Carolina farmers mnst not overlook the necessity of planting the best seed available if they are to harvest maximum yields of small grain in £he sum mer of 1948, says Dr. K. 1 P. Moore, In charge of Seed Im provement at State College. The urgent need for abund ance of grain for food and feed throughout the world and the more easily recognised high grain and feed prlceg cannot help but offer strong encouragement for every farmer to produce those ''extra" bushels of grain resulting from good planting seed, Dr. Moore said. For farmers living in the Coastal Plain, the best seed oats include certified sources of Vic torgrain and Fulgraln. The Pied mont farmers may consider cer tified sources of Victorgrain and Fulgrain as their best early oats and similar sources of Stanton, i Lemont, and Letoria as good late I varieties. The Northern Pied ' mont farmers may, prefer the j later oat varieties since these I oats have been found more win | ter-hardy than Victorgrain or , Fulgrain. Letoria and Stanton are usually good oats for the mountain section except at high altitudes where fall oats should not be seeded. The Piedmont or Coastal Plain farmer will find certified Red hart, Hardired, and Carala to be satisfactory sources of feed for their wheat crop. Tests have shown Thorne and Nittany or Fulcaster to be dependable wheat i varieties for the Mountain area. Certified Sunrise, which must show less than one smut head in 1,000, may well be considered the best grain barley for all sec tions of the State where barley Is grown. | Certified sources of small 1 grain varieties are suggested ! since they may be considered more consistently dependable than non-certified run-of-the mine sources. The North Caro lina seeds are certified by repre sentatives of State College. Farmers interested in taking advantage of the ie^efits of cer tified seed should contact his seedsman, county agent, or voca tional teacher, or write to the office of the North Carolina Crop Improvement Association, N. C. State College, Raleigh, for a list of farmer seed producers. When baying small grain seed this fall, Insist upon the pres ence of a blue . certification on each bag, Dr. Moore said, be cause this is yonr guarantee for good planting seed.
