by Agriculturally Speaking ' Farmers, Business Men . Enjoy Outing At Ponds By FRANK W. REAMS Coming Event* May 14: Agricultural Work ers Council May 23: Planning Board Lake Tour May 25: Roanoke River Basin Association Annual Meet ing, Roanoke Rapids Beef Cattle, Fish and Eat Some 25 people, including business men and farmers In the Norlina area, enjoyed a most exciting outing at the R. L. Traylor cabin and lakes sev eral days ago. Mr. Hardage and 1 are invited to a number of other enjoyable events in the county, but this one was full of surprises. Just have to say this fellow Traylor has a most unusual place of retreat. On arriving, I noticed sev eral people sitting on the dam of the lower pond jerking in bream at regular intervals. Due to the distance only, Alton W. Paschall was recognized but I may say here he was also outstanding at the table when barbecued pork and chicken with all the trimmings were passed around. One would ] have sworn he had not eaten! during the past week. On sec ond thought, this could be un fair as Mrs. Paschall is an ex cellent cook. This was one of those per fect days for such an event, the right temperature, opti mum humidity and not a pesty insect in sight?All of this, with a background of fast growing pine trees, green pas tures and 10 purebred Aber deen Angus cows with calves at side. These calves have a real high class daddy, now liv ing on the Mac Warren Farms, Blackstone, Va., the same place the cows originated. All the cows have been re-bred to this same bull named Curls Run Aukonian 35, whose sire was Homeplace Eileenmere "999 35th". This bull. "999-35th" has sired some of the most out standing Angus cattle In Amer ica today, and many of his off springs have set record prices for the breed. Surely is fine to know that we have a 100% puebred herd on the Traylor Farm in Warren County and a potential source of high grade bulls and cows. Jackpot On the occasion of the pic nic, all present were encourag ed to fish but with only fair luck. A day or so later, Broth er Traylor decided to wet a hook and "lo and behold" he immediately pulls in a one and three quarter pound bream and a six and one half pound bass. This broke up his fish ing shindig so he heads for town too excited to fish longer. At the picnic, Dr. Foster, with his interesting conversa tion and ravaging appetite, ate barbecue pork and chicken as it there was no other food left in the world, but I understand he has the inside curve, sink ing his teeth in this terrific bass. Some people do have all the luck. Sea Lamprey Several days ago W. E. Shearin brought a strange look ing animal to the office for identification. I have never ob served such a creature before. After checking identification books ,it turned out to be a Sea Lampray eel. This two foot eel had a large suction type mouth and seven small openings or gills on each side of its diffused head. Mr. Shearin found the eel in his pond and also cut it into mak ing the capture. The book de scription states each female is capable of laying 10,000,000 eggs and after observing the large mass of eggs emerging from the wound I can believe this. After seeing something unusual every few days I know now, without question, I am only partly educated. Church Women Hold Meeting LITTLETON ? The women of the Littleton Presbyterian Church held a supper in the Community Building on Tues day night of last week in honor of the 50th birthday of organized women's work in the Presbyterian Churches of the United States. Arrangements of spring flow ers were used throughout the building. The table was cen tered with an arrangement of mixed flowers, flanked by burning tapers in gold candel abra. A four-tiered birthday ! cake was also placed on the | table. Those taking part on the | program were the Rev. Levi Humphreys, Mrs. Louise Rose. | Mrs. Reid Robertson and Mrs. I Irving Harris.

Say you saw it advertised in The Warren Record. Spraying or dusting to pro tect plants from the ravages of insect and disease pests is the best insurance you have against damage. A good slogan: use the right materials, at the right time, properly mixed; and do a tho rough job of covering all parts of the plant, especially the un dersides of the leaves to con trol sucking insects such as aphids. red spiders and lace bugs. All insects have a life his tory or cycle. That is, they un dergo changes which may oc cur in four stages: Egg, larva, pupa and adult. Or, in three stages: Egg. nymph and adult. The larva and the nymph stages are usually the most de structive although the adult stage may also be destructive. In the case of fungus dis eases, it is necessary to keep the plants protected at all times These diseases, represented by various leaf spots of roses, ap ples and p.'any other plants, produce spores. These spores germinate and attack the plant tissues. If the leaf is protected by a fungicide the spores are killed before they have a chance to enter the tissues. Once the diseases gain en trance, they are more diffi cult to control. These simple examples should serve to show how im portant it is to keep your plants protected at all times. Many people seem to think that one or two sprayings during the growing season are all that are necessary. On the contrary, this battle against insects and diseases is never-ending. For this reason, it is best to follow a regular spray program for all of your ornamentals, fruits and vegetables. There are many effective spray chemicals available ? some for sucking insects, others for insects that chew food and some combination materials which are effective against both types. Mix all materials according to instructions given on the containers. They will insure proper concentration. Observe safety measures: By not in haling spray or dust, by wash ing hands with soap and water, by storing out of reach of chil dren and pets. Observe residue tolerances permitted on vege tables crops by using the dif ferent chemicals as recom mended. Your county agent will have a supply of spray calendars for the .different crops or can get them for you. Use the classifed advts.
