PAGE EIGHT THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES. BREVARD. NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1953 TRANSYLVANIA’S arm r font l ews Transylvania’s County Agent Issues Warning On Spraying Ill Affects Of Insecticides To Man Cited. Rules Are Listed “Dusting or spraying with insec ticides will do much to promote the healthy growth of fruits and vege tables,” says Julian Glazener, Tran sylvania county agent for the State College Extension Service. But in secticides often have just the op posite effect on man. Even though the container may not bear the skull and crossbones label, caution is necessary since many substances are harmful in some way to man, despite the fact that they may not definitely be poisons. The National Safety Council points out that special precautions should be taken to avoid inhaling fumes or vapors from fumigants, which, if not poisonous, will usual ly prove irritating to humans. Spe cial emphasis should also be placed on the necessity of proper labeling for all insecticides and safe storage where children cannot reach them. Simple precaution is the most im portant thing to remember in the safe use of insecticides. The follow ing are a few rules which point out the most important things to re member: , 1. Follow the directions of the i manufacturer in handling, mixing and applying. 2. Always—Spray or dust with the wind. 3. Wear respirators when there is danger of inhaling fumes. Only those approved by the U. S. Bureau of Mines for the particular job you are doing should be worn. 4. Gloves, long-sleeved shirts and clothing to cover the entire body are recommended. 5. Wash hands and other exposed parts of the body thoroughly with soap and water after using poison ous chemicals. 6. Store poisonous materials in strong leak-proof containers. Be certain that they are out of reach of children or livestock. Bury un used portions. 7. Thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables to which poisonous chemicals have been applied.

C. Dial 2>22 Beef is abundant—the top item on the U. S. Department of Agricul ture’s April and May list of plenti ful foods—and Julian Glazener, Transylvania county agent for the State College Etxension Service, re ports consumer will find it one of the best meat buys on the market. Record numbers of cattle coming to market have brought beef prices In recent weeks to the lowest point in many years, Mr. Glazener points out. This high production of beef, coupled with the lower prices, have earned beef a spot on USDA’s plen tiful foods list for the first time in the history of the program. When buying fresh beef, Mr. Glazener cautioned that it should be stored, loosely covered, in the coldest part of the refrigerator and should be used within a few days. Variety meats such as liver are es pecially perishable and should be used within two days, while ground beef, unless frozen, should be held only one day, he explained. Sharing honors with beef on the April and May plentiful foods list are cabbage, tomato juice, celery, Irish potatoes, dry lima and navy beans, broilers and fryers, turkeys, frozen fish, eggs, dairy products, edible fats and oils, peanuts and peanut butter, raisins, and fresh and processed citrus. ‘GARDEN TIME” —By— ROBERT SChi^lIDT In some parts of the state the transplanting of warm season plants has already begun but for the most part there is still danger of killing frosts. Where frosts may still be expected, plants can be set and protected with hot caps for two or three weeks. Hotcaps made of oiled paper may be purchased at most seed stores and are very effective in protecting tomato, pep per, eggplant and melon plants from cold weather and frost. They also furnish protection from in sects while the plant is starting growth. The use of hotcaps will of ten bring tomatoes and melons in about ten days earlier than unpro tected plants. It is important to re move the hotcaps as soon as the need for protection is past. At transplanting time it is also timely to discuss the use of “start- CONDENSED STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF Transylvania Trust Co.i ‘THE FRIENDLY BANK” BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA At The Close of Business April 20, 1953 Condensed from Statement to State Banking Department ASSETS LIABILITIES Cash & due from Banks $ 463,886.79 Capital Stock $ 75,000.00 U.

Transylvania's FHA Supervisor Says Progress Is Being Made Many Approved Practices To Produce Greater Yields Are Carried Out Transylvania county farmers co operating in the program of the Farmers Home administration are following plans to produce more efficiently on their farms this year, Wallace G. Flynt, FHA supervisor, reports. They are working to improve the organization and management of their business so they can earn an adequate living and pay back what they borrow. To do this, they will follow approved practices to fur ther step up yields per acre and production per animal, and elim inate all possible expenses by pro ducing their own food and feed. solutions. There are several of these materials offered for sale. They are usually made up of salts containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potash that are easily soluble water. The manufacturer’s di rections for use should be followed. A starter solution can be made at home by dissolving one pound of a good garden fertilizer such as 6-8-6 or 8-8-8 in five gallons of water and using one-half pint of this so lution to water each plant when transplanted. Starter solutions have been found to be very efficient in giving the plants a quick start. They are to be used in addition to the regular fertilizer application I'or example, they will try to buy fewer, groceries and raise a corn crop for less cost. The families will be visited and kept posted on the latest methods recommended for crops and live stock. They will also be advised on actual needs for additional machin ery and household equipment, and on making good buys when they purchase. Each borrower will be urged to get only supplies and ma chinery which contribute directly to better production. Among the farm methods to be stressed by families this year are: Using the right kinds of seed, fer tilizing properly, controlling insects and disease, checking weeds, devel oping better pastures, keeping good breeding stock, and timely market ing. The two most important practices for Transylvania county will be: 1. Developing pastures and expanding livestock enterprises and 2. Adding sheep or poultry. Farmers who receive supervised credit are expected to have the land adn labor resources essential for successful farming, and to follow a sound plan for making the most of them. The Farmers Home administra tion makes loans to families who cannot get adequate credit else- v/here on reasonable terms to own and operate farms, and accompa nies these loans with guidance in good farm and home practices.
