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.
