and any one who has a good field or
orchard or any products that will
make a good picture is asked to let
the County Agent know it and he will

a good advertising meditim for the
County and we earnestly ask all to

To Destroy Cabbage Worms—Liquid
Treatments
1—Mix one ounce powdered Arsen
ate of Lead with one gallon water,
and spray the plants thoroughly. An
ounce is about one tablespoonful. If
you have no spray pump, use a sprink
ling pot having a fine nozzle.
2—Mix one ounce Paris Green with
5 gallons water and spray as directed
in 1. Or mix one pound Arsenate of
Lead with 20 gallons water, and ap
ply with a spray pump.
Dry Treatments
3—Dry air-slacked lime 1 pound
Paris Green 1 ounce
Mix the two together thoroughly
until all is one uniform color with no
spots or streaks showing more green
than others. Tie into flour sack, or
other thin cloth sack, and shake over
plants to be treated. Apply enough
to whiten leaf slightly. The mix
ture will adhere better if while the
<l^w is on. The powdered Arsenate
6f Lead will stick longer than the
Paris Green, apd is not so apt to burn
the foliage as Paris Green.
4—Powdered Arsenate of Lead..l lb.
Cheap dry flour, air slacked
lime, road dust, or sifted ashes..lO lbs.
Apply in same manner as in No.3.
CO-OPERA ATI VE MARKETING
We are living in a period of recon
struction and readjustment of busi
ness generally. Every class of people
engaged in different lines of business
is organized for the purpose of pro
viding just and equitable business re
lations with whom they deal. The
farmer, however, who is the greatest
producer of wealth in this co mtry is
unorganized, and it seems that it is
going to be hard to convince him that
organization is absolutely essential in
the successful management of his
business. Under the present system
of selling farm crops we are permit
ted to produce and deliver to the pur
chaser. The price under this system
is arranged by the companies that
buy, and in arranging the price it is
to their interest to make a profit. In
order to obtain a fair price the farmer
must be organized to sell as well as
the manufacturer is organized to buy
and re-sell. The farmer selling in
dividually to the big manufacturing
interest is at too much disadvantage.
Strong selling agencies with million
pounds of tobacco or cotton behind it
will have the ability to make success
ful sales. The California farmers
last year did a business of $250,000,
000 thru cooperative selling.
If you are not thoroughly familiar
with the Co-operative Marketing
Contract, secure one from your Coun
ty Agent and study it carefully.
The tobacco companies have al
ready offered to buy from the Vir
ginia gi'owers who have already se
cured over 50 per cent of the farmers

sign-lip. Virginia, however, cannot
arrange this contract until 50 per cent
of the three states covering the Flue-
Cured Belt have signed up as much as
50 per cent.
Are the farmers in North Carolina
going to hold this movement back,
or do they intend to sign up like men
and place themselves in a position to
do business? I want every farmer
to ask himself this question: Am I
willing to continue to produce world
necessities and deliver them for some
one else to fix the price, or should I
join an organization of farmers that
will assist me in negotiatitig a price
that will pay me a reasonable profit ? ”
You are going to decide this matter
for yourselves, and upon your decision
will largely determine your success or
failure on t)ie farm. The prosperity
of this country, its future progress
and development is hanging in the
balance. The responsible duty de
volves upon the farmers of this coun
try to determine our future progress
and especially the ' improvement of
rural life which must come from ar.
increased income on the farm. What
are you going to do about it? A
great movement is awaiting your ac
tion.
