NEW YORK?The stuff
good medicine for tobacco pi
paradichlorobenzene.
How the familiar fumes are*
ible to cure blue mold of tobacio,
a costly disease which has in. aded
all tobacco-growing states (
;ast of the Missippi river except
Wisconsin, is reported today In
:he botanical journal, Phytopath- 1
ilogy. The report climaxes sev- 1
;ral discoveries which have given '
farmers a new method of com- 1
bating plant diseases. , 1
This is the use of gas instead 1
if sprays. Leading biologists, bot- '
jnists, and agriculturists call the
iiscovery epoch-making. They say
it is the most important step in 1
plant doctoring since Millardet '
nearly 100 years ago discovered
bordeaux mixture, grandfather of
sprays.
PREVENTATIVE AND CURE 1
Even more significant, they
say, is the fact that the gas
treatment cures. Never before
have plants been cured. Sprays
and other crop control methods
and preventives. The gas is both
preventive and cure.
Blue mold of tobacco is named
from the color of a downey
growth on the lower sides of
leaves. It has been known in j
Australia since 1850, and was |
first discovered in the United
States in Georgia and Florida to-1
bacco fields in 1921. But not until
1931 did it become serious.
Occasionally in bad years blue
mold has destroyed 20 to 50 per
cent of the crop in some communities.
The mold attacks seedlings, the

are set out in the fields. More
than two years' experiments in
the South have proven the effectiveness
of gas.
Two forms of gas are now
available. One is the fumes from
liquid benzine, which is set at j
night underneath a gauze cover-'
ing over seedling beds. The other
is paradichlorobenzene, which is j
made by adding to benzine mole- [
cules two atoms of chlorine, the!
well-known wartime gas.
This makes a solid, in the'
form of white crystals. These are I
placed on top of the gauze covering,
instead of underneath. The I
fumes from the chlorine combi-!
nation are heavy enough to seep

MIXING IS SURPRISE
The Phytopathology article tells
Df discovering how the gas
works. The fumes mix with the
surface film of moisture on the
[eaves and poison the mold withDut
harming the tobacco. Dis:overy
of this mixing was a surprise,
because benzine and paraJichlorobenzene
commonly have
been considered not soluble in
water.
The report says that in addition
to this mixing, some gas
enters the pores through which
leaves breathe. In these pores
there are tiny air pockets which
have become filled with filaments
of blue mold.
Prof. Frederick A. Wolf, of
Duke University, is credited with
being one of the first scientists
to develop the gas treatment.
Duke university, the Virginia agricultural
experiment station, and
the North Carolina tobacco experiment
station have done much
of the work co-operatively. The
Phytopathology article is by Professor
Wolf, Ruth A. McLean, J.
A. Pinckard, F. R. Darkis, and

4-H Project For
Boys And Girls
Many Farm Boys And Girls
May Be Enabled To Participate
In The Farm
Projects Of 4-H And
FFA Clubs
Many farm boys and girls in
Columbus County will be enabled
to participate in 4-H Club and
Future Farmers of America, junior
educational and demonstrational
farm projects, during 1940
through Farm Security Administration
loans under new regulations
announced by C. D. Pickerrell,
County FSA Supervisor, Old
Jail Building, Whiteville.
"All young people enrolled in
these junior farm groups, and
whose parents are among the 130
FSA borrowers in Columbus
County, may secure loans of not
more than $75 for purchase of a
calf, sow, poultry or other young
livestock, as well as seed, plants
and fertilizer, for projects approved
by the county extension
agent or Smith-Hughes instructors
in charge of the projects",
explained Pickerrell.
"By making loans available to
young people with no other
source of credit, the program is
expected to boost the interest of
farm boys and girls in farm life
and create business responsibility
at an early age. The sponsorship
of useful farm project by boys
and girls on the farm will also
contribute by example to balanced
farming and better farming
practices which are main objectives
of Farm Security Administration
borrowers."
Loan applications must be made
frt tVi/a Pnunfu ITS A Stnnorvisnr
and approved by the project leaders.
Security on loans will include
a note signed jointly with parents
and chattel or crop mortgages,
with interest at five percent.
INFERTILE EGGS KEEP
BEST IN SUMMERTIME
Get rid of, or pen up the
roosters and produce only infertile
eggs, says C. F. Parrish,
head of the Poultry Extension
Office at N. C. State College,
in his suggestions to poultryraisers
for the month of May.
"The male birds are of no use
in the flock after hatching is
completed, so sell them, eat
them, or at least separate them
from the hens", the specialist
said.
He pointed out that infertile
eggs keep much better than fertile
eggs in the summertime.
Gather the eggs often in wire
baskets, especially in the broody
hen season, and this will help
to cool the eggs quickly. The eggs
should be left in the wire baskets
overnight, before packing in
cartons or cases for marketing.
Continuing his advice, Parrish
said: "If a cool moist room is
not available for holding the eggs
until marketing time, construct
an egg cooling rack. It consists
of a framework covered with
burlap on one or more sides with
provisions being made for a water
pen or can on top to keep
the burlap curtain saturated with
watpr. The evaporation keeps the
eggs cool and moist."
As other suggestions for work
in the poultry yard this month,
the specialist said a soybean
patch should be started now to
provide green feed and shade for
the pullets this spring and summer.
It is better to plant the
beans in rows.
