State College Answers Timely Farm Questions f Q. What can .1 use to keep in sects out of my stored beansand peas? A. The best preventative is to treat the seed with carbon disul phid. The beans. or peas are put into a water tight barrel or some other container that , can be made air tight. The container is filled with the seed to within a fejw inches of the top and the carbon disulphid poured directly on the seed. For ordinary infestations one half cup of carbon disulphid should be used to the barrel of seed, but where the seed are heavily infested a v full cup should be used. Cover the container with a double thick ness of heavy wrapping paper, tie tightly around the top and leave for at least two days. If the in sects are still active, repeat the treatment. The containers should be kept covered at all times. Q. How often should new blood be introduced in the poultry flock? A. In general, it is wise to secure new Wood on the' male side every two years, but great , care must be exercised in selecting the source of these ,new males. Pedigreed males should be used if possible, but if these cannot be secured, only males from proven profitable flocks should be purchased. Many flocks have had the laying qualities bred out of them because of excessive, un controlled inbreeding or because of poor judgment in selecting new males. Your county agent can be of great assistance in selecting the sources of good birds. Q. When should lespedeza be cut fof seed ? A. The Korean variety , may be cut for seed about October "1, and the, other varieties just after the first hard frost. If the crop has been cut ;' for hay enough second growth will be made to reseed the land, but it is seldom possible to remove' a hay crop and a seed crop the same year. After cutting, the Korean variety is left in the barn or stacks for a few weeks and the seed threshed out on a grain sepa rator.. Seed from - the Common, Tennessee 76, and Kobe are har vested with a iced pan, Many CCC Boys Qualified To Reenroll Under New Decision In the closing days pf the "75th Congress an Act (House Resolu tion No. 6551) "To establish a Civilian Conservation Corps and for other purposes," ! was passed by both houses and signed by the President oii June 28, 1937. This Act provided fori the estab lishment, effective July 1, 1937, of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which organization had" heretofore functioned . pursuant " to executive orders issued by the President of the United States, under authority granted under the Act of Congress "An Act for the relief of unemploy ment through the performance of useful public work and for other purposes." The new Act definitely fixed eligibility requirements for future members of the Corps in that only applicants between the ages of 17 and 23, inclusive, are eligible for enrollment. Thi Act further places a maximum service) limitation of two years. At first it was apparent that all enrollees in the various CCC camps whose total service as of September 30, 1937, was more than 18 months would be mandatorily discharged, since an additional enrollment for' a period of six months would cause their total service to exceed the statutory limitation with respect to. length of service. Based upon a decision of the Comptroller General of the United States the Director has decided that service as an enrollee prior to July 1, 1937, shall not be counted, in computing total serice. Under, the, provisions of the new CCC Act only the service subsequent to July 1, 1937, will be counted in computing the two year limitation as to enrollment eligibility. This decision will make it possible for many lads s now in the CCC, who are between the ages of 17 and 23, inclusive, and otherwise eligible, to reenroll duringthe next procure ment period, October 1-31, 1937. A large .number of these lads have been under the impression that they would be discharged on Sep tember 30, 1937. , Another recent change in CCC regulations will be of interesY to former enrollees between the ages of 17 and 23, inclusive, who were honorably discharged. This change provides that honorably discharged enrollees who are properly certi fied by the' State Departments of Public Welfare may reenroll after six months-from date of discharge instead of having to wait for a period of one year as heretofore.
