Four Breadwinner's Responsibility The glowing prospects of a hos pital for the Zebulon-Wendell community have brought expres sions of joy to folks around here, because it means that adequate medical facilities will be imme diately available when needed. The great benefits of a community hospital are too numefous to list, and if the proposed bond issue for Wake County will provide funds for a hospital for the Zebulon- Wendell area as well as additions to the Raleigh facilities, then local citizens will be foolish to oppose the measure. It is well to remember, however, that payment must be made for medical treatment in a community hospital just as in Rex or Mary Elizabeth or St. Agnes or any other hospital. A county-sponsored hos pital near Zebulon will not be a charity institution where care is doled out at the tax payers’ ex pense. It will be run on a sound financial basis, or it will not last. It takes only a couple of weeks in a hospital for the average fam ily bank account to be wrecked Public Enemy No. 1 Several times a year we are as tounded by figures showing the vast amount of damage done by rats and mice in cities, towns, and on the farms. The annual destruc tion accomplished by one small mouse is unbelievable, and the combined harm of all the little rodents in astronomical! Whether taken individually or collectively, the havoc wrought by rats and mice is enough to make us take direct action in ridding our homes and lots of their presence. It has been proved that unless coordinated action is taken by a community, any campaign at kill ing the rats and mice will not suc ceed. One home or one business may be cleared temporarily, but as soon as the poison ii remov ed another invasion by the rats Save That Cotton The prediction of the Wake County Farm Agent and other ag ricultural leaders that the boll wee vil this year will be a meiace to the cotton crop is proving true. Inspections have showed ti e wee vil to infest nearly evei y field in alarming numbers. As a precautionary measure, the County Agent has urged that poi son be distributed liberally over the cotton plants to control the Garden Time By Robert Schmidt While we are between crops, in a sense, we should be thinking of ways to improve our garden soils. Much needed organic matter may be added through the use of stable manures or summer and fall green crops to be turned under. These materials will make heavy soils easier to work and will give sandy soils a better water-holding capacity and along with that, there is the added fertility. But what I wish to talk about is soil acidity and the use of lime. Many gardeners do not understand the proper use of lime because they do not know the needs of the in dividual crops. Also, they do not know how acid their soil is. It is foolish to add lime to soil if you do not know that it needs lime or that the crops to be grown require more lime. completely. An extended stay usually requires a loan to cover a deficit. Present day prices for ne cessities have stretched the aver age income to the limit; and a hospital bill frequently is the straw that will break the camel’s back. For the welfare of his family, the head of the household should see that the family is covered by some type of hospitalization in surance. Money usually can be found to pay the comparatively small monthly premiums, and the help received from the insurance in financing fourteen days of hos pital care will more than repay two years of premiums. From per sonal experience, we know what a godsend the check from the insur ance company proved to be when the bills for medical care fell due. It is our great dream that our community will soon have a hos pital. And if our dreams are real ized, we hope that the people of our community will be able to use its facilities. Sound planning by the head of the house will make it so. and mice from next door is made and the situation is soon as bad as ever. The Wake County Health De partment is making available a new, powerful poison for rodent control at a price only one-fifth that of offers made on radio ad vertisements. Known as Warfar in, and by other trade names, the poison is easy to use, safe when instructions are followed ,and sure death to rats and mice. When Warfarin is offered for sale in Zebulon and the surround ing community, we hope that every business and home owner will ob tain a supply, follow the directions, and cooperate in wiping out the tremendous hordes of rodents which have made this community their home. , boll weevils and aphids. Last year’s heart - breaking cotton losses should be reason enough for farmers to follow Grady Mil ler’s advice. This year Agent Miller is mak ing comparative checks of fields properly dusted and fields left alone. We are sorry this is possi ble. We would prefer that all cot ton fields be dusted as a safeguard for the cotton farmer’s income. Lime reduces soil acidity. Most vegetable crops will thrive in slightly acid (ph. 6 to 6.7) soils but there are a number of them that will not thrive at all in very acid (ph 4.5 to 5.0) soils. These are asparagus, spinach, onions, celery, lettuce, beets, muskmelons, cauliflower, broccoli, parsnips, ok ra, and salsify. Crops' such as beans, cucumbers, watermelons, corn, sweet potatoes, Irish pota toes and tomatoes are quite toler ant of very acid soils in fact, it is desirable for watermelons. It is also desirable to grow Irish potatoes on quite acid soils to prevent the development of potato scab, a serious disease which is made worse by liming the soil.
