Information Given On Borer Control Ethylene dichlorlde and propy lene dfchlorlde emulsion tor con trol of peach tree borers should not be applied until after October 15 for best results, says George D. Jones, entomologist for the State College Extension Service. Earlier applications may not give effective control, Jones says, because the borers sometimes continue laying eggs late in the season, particularly when the weather remains warm. Since heavy infestations ol peach tree borers have been not ed in many orchards this season, the entomologist urges peach growers to spray thetr trees with 15 per cent ethylene dichlorlde or 7 1-2 to 10 per cent propy lene dichloride emulsion. For heavily infested trees, he recom mends an initial application of 20 to 25 per cent ethylene di chloride. The emulsions come in concen trated form and must be diluted with water before use. After be ing diluted they must be stirred or agitated frequently. Some growers use a spray machine to haul the material in the field and keep the agitator going slowly to keep the material well mixed. If this practice is followed, the machine should be cleaned thor ?***** - BY - L. L. PARSONS l?L6A$ *F WC POWT SAY TWW?

The presence of lime may cause a breakdown of the emul sion. Enough materials should be applied to moisten the soil all the way around the tree. This will be approximately 1-8 pint for a tree one year old of 1-2 pint for a tree six years old. Ir\ heavy soils it is recommended that dilutions not stronger than he following be used: trees six years and older, 15 per cent; trees five years and younger, 10 per cent. Trees should be mounded im mediately after the material is applied. Orchardists not familiar with peach tree borer control and use of these materials should consult their local county agent or write the Entomology Department, State College, Raleigh, for more detailed information. Woodsdale Farmer Likes Hybrid Corn "If you don't want to have to build a new crib, don't fool with hybrid corn," says Major Brooks, negro farmer of the Woodsdale community, Person county. "I told my boys this morning it will be necessary for me to cut my corn acreage in half if I con tinue to plant hybrids," Brooks commented recently to C. J. Ford, negro county agent for the State College Extension Service. The Person County farmer tried a hybrid variety last year for the first time, and he made more corn than ever before. Thi> year he believes he is going to do even better. According to the County A gent, Brooks' corn will yield close to 100 "bushels per acre. It is planted in 3 1-2-foot rows and spaced 14 inches in the drill. Fertilizer has been applied cording to recommendations. Ford says two other farmers in the county?Gather Evans and West Smith, both of Route 1 Roxboro?also have outstanding corn crops. Evans and Smith live on adjoining farms, and each is trying to outdo the other in corn production. At least 45 farmers in the county have vis ited the two demonstrations, o A sale of purebred Dfkroc hogs will be held in Kinston on Octob er 13.

Powerless Jet Is Landed By Marine San Diego, Calif., Oct. 3.?A marine colonel landed a power less jet fighter plane with little more than a flashlight and a prayer last night. bit. Col. Marion Carl, former speed record holder, brought the P-9-F Navy Panther down from 25,000 feet in a 40-mile glide, after a power failure. He usedj the flashlight to watch the air speed indicator, the only instrument he had left. His j other hand held the control stick. When the cockpit windshield started to frost inside he had to drop the flashlight to wipe it off. "That was the only time I was worried," said Carl. "I needed three hands." Carl was en route from Port land, Ore., to his home station at Cherry Point, N. - C., via San Diego, where the electrical sys tem failed. That left him without engine, lights, radio or instruments. He couldn't even dump the 220 gal lons of fuel left in the tanks. He had no way of notifying air fields of his plight. Carl arrived over the lighted North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego Bay with 7,000 feet of elevation left. He dived on the tower to give warning and then, after making a wide curve to the runway, brought the plane down going about 150 miles an hour. Carl, a veteran fighter pilot of the Pacific War, set a world's speed record of 658.8 miles an hour in 1947 in a jet Skystreak. The record stood for a year. It is now 670 miles, held by the air force. ? o :???
