Dusting Peanuts

Dusting Proves Profitabl
To Farmers in Controllin
Leafspot Disease And Ii
creases Yield
Dusting of peanuts to contr
the ieafspot disease should beg
at once, says Howard R. Garris
Extension plant pathologist. Th
practice has netted growers (
much as $15.30 per acre in e:
perimental demonstrations, 1
1 said.
Garriss reported that early a]
plications, made at two-week ii
tervals, have proven the mo
profitable. In previous yea;
growers have applied the fir:
of three treatments on or aboi
July 25. "However, this year, w
are recommending four trea
ments, the first to be made i
early in July as possible," 1
stated.
Last year tests of the four-a]
plications-per-season method ri
suited in yields of 509 pount
more nuts per acre than yielc
from untreated plots, and ii
creases from the three-applies
tions - per - season demonstratioi
were 459 pounds more nuts p<
acre.
"Control of peanut leafspot b
sulphur dusting also substantial!
increases the yield and qualit
of peanut hay," Garriss declare!
"The material used for sulphi
dusting of peanuts is a special!
prepared 'dusting sulphur' whic
is conditioned for sticking to th
plant. Any good grade of sulphu
dust is satisfactory if the pai
I ttcles will pass through a 32
mesh.
"The rate of application shoul
be from 16 to 30 pounds of su
phur per acre, the exact amour
depending upon the size of th
pjants. The treatment should b
njade either in the early morr
iitg, when it is calm and there i
s$me dew on the plants, or in th
l^te afternoon after a rain. It i
necessary to avoid winds durin
the operation. However, if rai
oecurs within 24 hours after th
d*st is applied, the application
ir|ust be repeated."

THE STATE PORT
|To Extend Relief
; Where Need Most
It Is Provided That It Must
Have The Freedom Of
j Action And Safeguards
i For Carrying Out The
Distribution Of Supplies
| WASHINGTON, D. C. July 15
j ?Chairman Norman H. Davis, in
' | answer to various inquiries as to
the present policy and activities
' of the American Red Cross in
respect to European war relief,
today issued the following statement:
, "It is the policy of the American
Red Cross to extend relief
; where it is most urgently needed
j providing it has the necessary
I freedom of action and safeguards
j for carrying out the distribution
j of its supplies to the actual victims,
whether refugees or warwounded
soldiers.
"At present there are three distinct
areas where such need exists
and where assistance has
been requested: First, Great Britain,
second, the unoccupied portion
of France, and third, those
territories under German occupation.
"With regard to the first we
| have set up an American Red
I Cross Committee in England and
j are sending medical, hospital
equipment, clothing and other
supplies, including food, as rapidly
as tonnage is available.
"With regard to the unoccupied
portion of France the SS McKeesport,
loaded will all sorts of
supplies and enjoying safe conduct
from the British blockade
authorities, is now headed for
Marseilles where its cargo will
be distributed to the millions of
' refugees and war-wounded in
Southern France under the direction
of American Red Cross representatives.
In addition, a trainload
of children's food is now en
route to the same region fr<5m
Geneva.
"With regard to the third area,
namely occupied territory, we
have been extending aid in Poland
with funds contributed for
that specific purpose. This program
is under American Red
Cross supervision, thus safeguarding
control over the ultimate destination
of supplies. As for other
occupied territories, aid to the
sick and wounded and to refugees,
particularly children, is being
extended only in Paris and
vicinity under the direction of
Wayne Chatfield-Taylor, American
Red Cross Delegate, working
in cooperation with the American
Hospital and the French Red
Cross.
"Beyond this limited activity
the Americ'an Red Cross is not
extending any relief in the occupied
portions of France. There
are certain questions of policy
and inherent difficulties, such as
blockade, transportation, delivery
and control of distribution which,
at the present time, are most difficult
of solution. The needs for
relief which are daily increasing
in the areas where we are
now operating and in which we
may operate in the future will
require continuing large outlays.
"In this connection I want to
point out that none of the supplies
of the Red Cross have been
interfered with by any Government
or diverted from the needy
for whom the supplies were in|
tended, and the American people
can rest assured mac we ao noc
intend to engage in any operations
not adequately safeguarded
and which do not give consideration
to the wishes of those who
have so generously contributed
to the work."
4-H Short Course
At N.C.S. July 22
Twelve Hundred Rural
Boys And Girls Will
Gather At N. C. State
College For Annual Short
Couse
Twelve hundred rural boys and
girls, representing the 50,000
members of the 1,500 4-H Clubs
in the State, will gather at N. C.
State College on Monday, July
22, for their annual State Short
Course. They will spend a week
at the college in study and recreation
and in receiving inspiration
to taljc back to their local
clubs.
Among the speakers they will
hear during the week are: Governor
Clyde R. Hoey; Dr. Clarence
Poe, editor of the Progressive
Farmer; Dr. W. C.
Jackson, administrative dean of
the Woman's College of the
University of North Carolina,
Greensboro; and Salom Rizk, a
young foreign-born American
citizen who is known as "the
Syrian Yankee."
The five days of education arid
fun will cost each club member
$5.50, which will include registration
fees, a room in a college
dormitory, and all meals in
the college cafeteria.
The annual State 4-H Health
contest, culminating in the crowning
of the king and queen of
health in colorful ceremonies, will
be one of the features of the
program. Three dairy contests
l will be held, with the winning
teams in each receiving a free
trip to the National Dairy Show
to be held in Pennsylvania in
October. County teams of boys
will compete in dairy production

and dairy cattle judging contests,
and girls' teams will compete in
a dairy foods contest.
Refugee Fund
Nearing Goal
WASHINGTON, D. C. ? The
American Red Cross War Relief
Drive for a minimum fund of
$20,000,000 appeared likely to go
over the top within the next few
days as chapters throughout the
country reported contributions
totaling nearly $19,000,000.
The Red Cross Campaign started
May 10, following the invasion
of the Low Countries and
France. Originally, the goal was
set at $10,000,000, but increased
responsibilities prompted Chairman
Norman H. Davis to double
the quota.
Since the program was authorized
in December, 1939, the Surplus
Marketing Administration
has bought for domestic relief
distribution 241,000,000 pounds of
lard and pork products.
A total of 24,595,000 acres in
the United States was planted
to cotton and in cultivation at
the end of June, according to a
late report on the size of this
year's crop.
Old Hens Need
Moist Mash Daily
Do you want to know how to
keep your old hens in egg production
during the hot summer
months ?
Well, C. F. Parrish, Extension
poultry specialist of N. C. State
College, says the feeding of a
moist mash at noon each day
will help to increase summer
egg pruuucuun. nc icwiiuireuuo
that three pounds of dry mash
be moistened with milk or water
and fed to each 100 birds. "As
soon as the birds finish, turn
the mash troughs over so that
flies will not congregate in the
laying house", he says.
The poultry specialist also advises
the supplying of 4 to 5
gallons of cool, fresh water each
day for each 100 birds, and a
sufficient number of fountains so
that there will not be any
crowding around the drinking
founts.

No Changes Will Be Made
In Market Opening Dates
In South Carolina Belt

to the interest of the S. C. and
Georgia growers generally since
sometime will be required after
the referendum vote for crop
control to allow the government
to properly establish their arrangement
for buying large quantities
in their proposed stabalization
plan. It is felt that no S. C.
farmer should suffer by reason of
any damaged tobacco due to the
difference between the agreed
upon and your proposed opening
date.
"The members of the sale3 committee
have considered every
phase of the question and have
done their utmost to fix opening
sale dates which would be most
fair and equitable for the growers
in all districts."
Previously, Congressman J.
Bayard Clark, of this district,
had lodged a strong protest in
behalf of this section at the
dates of the tobacco markets of
fMa arPA.
The Whiteville Merchants Association
and Board of Trade
were among the first to protest
against the lateness of the dates
in opening the markets, acting
through the Border Belt Association.
The Tobacco Association committee
explained that a change
in the opening dates for the
South Carolina markets would
provoke demands for corresponding
date changes in other belts.
Chairman H. R. Pettus of the
committee also said that earlier
openings in Georgia and South
Carolina "would prove detrimental
to the interests of growers
generally since some time will be
required after the referendum
vote for crop control to allow the
government to properly establish
its arrangements for buying large
quantities in its proposed stabilization
program."
Since designation or opening
dates two weeks ago, many tobacco
growers, warehouse officials
and businessmen generally
throughout this area have protested
the lateness of the start,
set for August 20. The markekt
opened last year on August 3.
Some growers said that although
it was felt the weed crop
was late this season, a number
