How can I protect cloth ing from moths? Closets, trunks, and other storage places for woolens and furs should be cleaned out thoroughly and all the cracks and crevices sprayed with a 5 per cent DDT or chlordane household spray. Doors and windows should be left open during the spraying. Blankets, suits, small woolen rugs, and similar articles should be care fully brushed and hung in the sun. Dry cleaning will destroy the pests but the clothing will not be safe unless stored in a mouthproof bag or placed in proper storage. Purs may be placed in cold storage or under other special conditions. In ad dition to the spray .mentioned, paradichlorobenzene crystals, naphthalene flakes, or a 5 per cent DDT dust may be used in all trunks or storage places. These materials may be scat tered in between folds or lay ers of clothing and in cracks and crevices. Keep the storage area closed tightly. If infesta tion is heavy at the beginning of the season, the materials in storage should be checked at least once or twice during the summer. Q. Where can I get some centipede grass roots to plant in the lawn? A. John H. Harris, extension horticultural specialist, suggests you write to the Memorial Park Cemetery, Orangeburg, S. C., or to Richard Forester, Ortega Station, Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Harris says he understood that centipede grass seed would soon be available, but so far he has not been able to find any on sale at any North Carolina stores. Q. Does the presence of mosa ic In Atlas wheat affect the certification of the crop for seed? A. No. There Is no evidence that wheat mosaic is transmit ted through the seed, and the presence of the disease does not affect seed certification. Mosaic Is, however, transmitted through the soil. Fields known to be In fected should not be used for wheat production for a number of years unless a resistant va riety Is grown. Leap, Thome, and Chancellor are resistant to mosaic but are not resistant to rust and mildew. Q. How can I control ear worm on the tweet corn in my garden? A. Use one-half cupful of 25 per cent DDT emulson with l'/j cupfuls of white mineral oil. Add this to enough water to make one gallon. Apply as a spray on the first or second day after the corn silks appear. Repeat tjie application three days later. AH ears showing silks should be treated each time. This treatment does not harm the ears for human consumption. However, the husks, leave*, and stalks should not be fed to h' Says Reading Newspaper* La Proving Profitable To Many Newspaper reading has prov ed unusually profitable recent ly to many residents of this section, according to Don W. Marsh, manager of the Ashe vUle Social Security office. "Since the new amendments to Social Security went into ef fect in September," Mr. Marsh said, "we have had a stream of callers bringing newspaper clippings. Most of them learn ed from their newspapers that the new law made them elig ible for benefts, and they came to apply. As a result, they have already started getting month ly checks, or will start shortly. "The amendments changed the eligibility requirements so that many people who could not qualify before, can now get Old-Age or Survivors Insurance benefits. Anybody age 65 or over who at any time back to 1937 has worked as much as a year and a half on Social Se curity-covered Jobs Is now elig ible, and can get benefits for every month in which his earn ings under Social Security do not amount to more than $50. Qualified people age 75 or over can get monthly benellts re gardless of the amount of their earnings or income. Many sur vivors of World War II veter ans were made eligible for pay ments, because of the provision giving World War II veterans Social Security credit for each month of war service. There were several other changes af fecting dozens of people in this area." "We have records," Mr. Marsh continued, "of many of these people who were made eligible for benefits by the new law and they have been notified by letter. There are hundreds of others, however, whom we did not know about and who had to take the initiative. We are glad to see that many In this group are learning of their eligibility from the newspaper." V. S. LEADS Although it owns only eight per cent of the world's com mercial forest area, the United States produces 44 per cent of the world's lumber, 58 per cent of its plywood, and 433 per cent of its wood pulp. livestock. Q What Is the outlook for the U. S. corn crop this year? A. A shortage may develop unless better - than - average yields are produced. Tar Heel farmers should, therefore, make every effort to increase their corn yields this year, and live stock producers should plan to make maximum use of pastures and thus cut grain require ments. These two steps will help prevent a shortage of corn in case of a poor crop year. -?"tr 8.V?^rmer?
