PAGE FOUR EASY TO HANDLE BEE STING IF YOU KNOW YOUR BEES ♦ The sting of the honey bee is pain- j fill, but interesting. If the victim un- j derstands the structure and operation of the bee's defense weapon, he can prevent much of the pain and swell ing. J. I. Hambleton, iir charge of the bee culture laboratory of tin- United States Department of Agricul ture, gives this cheering information When a bee prods its victim, it tear.- itself from its sting, a sacrifice which costs the insect its life. But the sting left in the skin has just started on it* way, for it and the poison sacks at tached arc equipped with muscles that tend to drive it deeper and deeper. j The sting is composed of two lan ; cets, each provided with a series of j sharp barbs pointing backward simi lar to a harpoon. The. reflex action of the nluscles attached to the sting mechanism is such that, first one lan-. cet is. driven into the flesh, where it anchors, then the other, and so on, I each lancet going a little deeper" and becoming more firmly lodged. During this time the muscles arc also squeez ing the poison sacks in such a man ner that poison is constantly being j pumped into the wound Alost persons make the mistake of J trying to pull out the sting. When this • is done, the pressure of the fingers empties the poison sacks into the flesh The sting should be immediately scrap-' ed or scratched out, and since no time is to be lost looking tor a Vmte or even in opening one, the -fingernail is the best thing to use in the emergency, says Mr. Hamhletiui, who has fre quently made the demonstration before interested visitors at- the bee culture I laboratory. With the brief explanation given by Mr. Hambleton any one may become a good demonstrator, but he should not expect the process to be entirely painless. —« _ LIME - LEGUMES IMPROVES LAND * 1 From yields of 6 to 15 bushels of wheat to an acre. 10 to 15 bushels oi corn, and about one-half bale of cot ton to 3> and 4(1 bushels of wheat, s» bushels of corne and 500 to 7tM) pounds' of lint cotton, is the interesting rec ord-of M. L, Adedrholdt, of Route 4. Lexington, in Davidson .County. Thiv setady climb in soil fertility 1 ami resulting acre yields has been made during the last 13 years by the intclli g*nt UiV ttf soil building practices, in cluding the generous use of limestone, and legumes, say agricultural exten sion workers at State t ullege. When j Mr. Addcr'holdt bought his present' farm 13 years ugi>, the neighbors, asj they do everywhere, prophesied that lie would starve on the poor, sandy soil. He did have low clop \ields for the first three. years, but he began the practice of using ground limestone ami acid phosphate .and turning under crops of red clover and vetch until hi* has one of the most fertile farms'in Davidson County. Thsi past season, he averaged 30 bushels of wheat an acre ,on l(i acres, all of which was cotton or cornstalk land. On three acres, where a. corn, crisp was grown last summer, be aver aged 40 bushels of wheat. This three acres was "-planted to -sweet -ch>»er turned under -prior tii the corn crop, Mr. Adderholdt usually applies one t'on~of limestone an acTe to r.nd then kepes up his lime require ments by. adding a small amount in his fertilizer mix for a period of five years, when he makes anohter appli cation of one ton of the limestone an acre. In this way,'lie grows clover and other legumes in a successful way. . By turning under that part of the clover not - needed for hay. lie builds up the nitrogen and organic matter contenj of his soil. Then with a little judicious fertilizing to balance the plant food supply, he is able to make profitable crop yields..

ADDS TO INCOME BY MAKING RUGS —•— An added income of about S4OO a ! year in addition the returns from her small farm of 20 acres is secured by Mrs. Minnie Tyson, of Carthage, Mitore County, from the sale of ,rs(g rugs made at home during spare time. "Mf-. Tyson heg#n making Miiff*, ' when she was but a child." says Mr*, j Walter Kvais, home agent of Moore I County. "She has made a number j with very beautiful designs from time to time in past years. The only rugs , in her home were those which she had | made. Last year, she began to make ( them for sale. One rug that she made about 21 year sago was sold to a win- [ ter resident of te Sandhills for $175. j lAs a usual thing, Mrs. Tyson gets j from S2O to $25 each for her rugs." j Mrs. Kyals says this energetic farm woman gets woolen, cotton, and slik garments which have, been cast off, , dyes these in an iron pot in her yard-! I cuts them into strips and then weaves the rags into beautiful and intricate designs that are much in demand. The rugs have a base of sound tow sacks and are hemmed to prevent any ravel ing The dyes used art the best ob tainable and are mixed at home. | Mrs. Tyson lives alone in a small home back of her regular farm home. She found it necessary to give up her home for the use of a tenant who could handle her farm. This small home however, is brightened with Tugs of beautiful patterns, is well screened and , made ceerful with many flowers. She "HTocs iio advertising but orders -her | rugs come from friends of those who ' have bought frym her perviously. She shows an artistic temperament in the j designs which Ithe draws upon the old j ' tow sacks and into which she works [the colorful rags'. The rag supply is j somewhat limited at home, and so she | depends on acquaintances sending her 1 i a supply from time to time. When- ever she gets enough ahead for a rug she gets to work. If she has an un-j ' filied order and no rags, then she buys some wherever they can be oh-j tained, says.Mrs. Kyals. 'i HENS FED WELL : PAY IN SUMMER * 7* . i Because eggs are low in price and , the hens are alolwed to range over the farm, many North Carolina growers 'neglect theri birds in mid-summer j»nd J fail to feed them the proper rations. I "When the hens are fed a properly balanced ration made from home grown feeds, they continue to pay their. . wax even in periods of low egg price-, sin li as occur generaly in the summer in this State," says C. F. I'arrish, ex-] ii tension poultryman at State ullege. "Some growers sell off their hens, or | lit them shift for themselves. This is a bad practice and ruins a source of j 1 additional revenue. • The successful -'poultryman gets his greatest profits by teeding for continued egg produc- I turn throughout the whole year rather r than depending on seasonal » tion." i' I'arrish says he usually find some ■ owners of farm flocks giving their i birds the range of the farm in sflnt ,' tner and giving them little mash feed, i' This is followed immediately by a dc i, crease in egg 'production. Consump -1 tion of mash must be encouraged ilur • ing tliis season if the greatest number r ol eggs are. to. be.obtained. It takes . about 25. pounds of feed for each hen • for the four months of June, July,! i 1 August,.- awl September. Kach bird -1 eats about 11 pounds t of grain feed s and, 14 pounds of mash. 'This will •' cost about 57 cents. The average of eggs laid during this period, according 1 to records kept by North Carolina r growers is (>J. Valuing these eggs at . | the low average price of 21 cents a ! dozen, they would return sl.lO. This leaves a margin of 53 cents a hen for r, the four months. A flock of 100 hens .■. would thus pay $53 above feed costs f under average conditions, This would indicate, says Mr. I'ar •l lisli, that feeds the old hens properly ruaLKHIO KVHIV TUDDAV *MO FWIPAY INVENTS DEVICE FOR STRINGING LEAF TOBACCO! Another mechanical device has been | patented which may take some of the | labor for the farmer out of tobacco j raising and take its place with the j transplanter as one of the few mechan- i ical aids against the man-killing hand- j labor of the tobacco farmer. The new device is called a "One- Man Tobacco Stringer." and has been patented by W. F. Dickerson, a tobac co grower of Hamptonvifle, in Yadkin County. The inventor, who already has made arrangements for marketing' | his invention, claims it will effect a ( large saving in labor and co»t of han- | dling either flue or air-cured weed in preparation for the curing process. It does away with the necessity for a "bander" and eliminates the use of string entirely in hanging the leaves on sticks. In the housing of tobacco, under the old system, one or two persons were usually employed to "hand up," the leaves to the stringer in bunches of during the summer is not a dead loss I and proves that proper care of the j flock will return a profit at all times.

The stringer was re-| quired to catch the string at the end of a (tick, then 'loop each bunch, ty ing the string at the end with a quick loop. The invention of Dickerson is a sitii- j pie wire" of spring construction bent to a curve to allow the green tobacco leaves' to hang straight. The wire is' placed so as to give an opening at the ' top sufficiently large for the butt stems of the tobacco.
