Such heavy eaters of link sausage
are the American people that they
consume more than 400 miles of cot
ton linters a day in the form of
sausage skins.
The National Cotton Council states
that each year the American public
eats in excess of 128.000 miles of cot
ton linters sausage skins, or more
than 5 times the distance around the
world at the equator.
Because of their high cellulose
content, cotton linters are preferred
by chemists as the base substance
for sausage skins.

The triumph of the early bird ov
jer the unfortunate worm is nothing
1 to the victory that has been won by
j the tens of thousands of men and
; women who have had the good for
tune of the good sense to secure
early diagnosis and early treatment
for cancer. In its early stages, this
| disease is one of the most curable of
serious threats to life. When the
I cancer has advanced, there is too
often little that can be done for the
patient.
No one knows how many men and
women have been cured of cancer.
A few years ago the American Col
lege of Surgeons began collecting
records from its approved clinics of
those who had been treated and
were free of the disease for five, ten
or fifteen years, and in 1938 an
nounced that it nad zy,iyt> sucn cases.
The American Society for the Con
trol of Cancer which recently launch
?cd.n Cured Cancer Clnh headed hyj
a valiant physician, Dr. Anna C. Pal- j
mer, who is 82 years old, says that
there are thousands of other cases
that have not found their way into
the records of the American College.

drive throughout the country under
the slogan "Early Cancer is Curable.
Fight It with Knowledge." Each year
the army tells us, between fifty and
seventy-five thousand men and wo
men die of cancer who could and
should have been saved by early di
agnosis and early treatment.
The goal of this nationwide cam
paign during April, set aside by
Special Act of Congress and Presi
dential Proclamation, is the saving
of lives. Let us make certain our
selves that if we or our family de
velop symptoms that mean cancer
we shall be among the early ones.
The symptoms that may mean can
cer and should always mean a visit
to a physician, are:
1. Any persistent lump or thicken
ing, especially in the breast.
2. Any irregular bleeding-or dis
charge from any body opening
3. Any sore that does ndt heal?
particularly ahmit the tnngufi..nawitti
or lips.
4. Persistent indigestion, often ac
companied by loss of weight.
5. Sudden changes in the form or
rate of growth of a mole or wart.

Army by enlisting in its ranks, by
enlisting early in April.

Shifts In Farmers*
1940 Planting Plans
?*?
Weather conditions, changing ex
port markets, and increased use of
power farm machinery? these are
the main factors behind some impor
tant shifts in " American farmers'
planting plans. Cotton takes the big
gest slash, about 40 per cent, from
an average of 44 million acres in
1925-30 to 25 millkin the last three
years Blame low prices, caused by
loss of exports. Corn comes down
about 20 per cent, to ]Usl under 88
million acres this year, against 110
million for 1930-33?due to better per
acre yields, low prices, and fewer
grain-consuming work animals on
farms. The 1940 wheat harvest will
be about 48 million acres, compared
to the 65 to 80 million that has pre
vailed since the World. War. The fall
drought which forced abandonment
lot 15 million acres of winter wheat
accounts for most of the difference
And tobacco planting Is cut by 21.5
per cent, the direct result of the
British embargo. Most striking move
in the opposite direction is soybeans,
which in .12. jeMLhM. sprung from
an almost negligible status to present
rsnking as seventh largest crop, with
more than 10 1-2 million acres plant
ed this year.

Blue Mold Controls
Three, and only three, methods of
controlling blue mold are recom
mended by the State College Exten
sion Service and Experiment Station.
Dr. Luther Shaw, extension plant
pathologist, says farmers should play
safe and adopt a control method
which has been proven in laboratory
and field tests.
The first of these, and the most ef-1
fective in the majority of tests, is
fumigation with paradichloroben
zene. This material consists of solid
white crystals. When purchased in
100 and 200-pound lots, the price
ranges from 12 to 15 cents per pound.
The crystals are spread over the reg
ular seed bed cover and a heavier
cover is then placed over the entire
bed and fastened securely to prevent
escape of the vapors. ?
The second recommended treat
ment is also a fumigant. It is benzol
(benzene) and comes in liquid form.
It also requires tight plant bed cov
ers. The cost of benzol is usually 20
to 30 cents per gallon.
The third treatment is a spray and
there are two formulas recommend
ed. One consists of 6 ounces of yellow
copper oxide, 6 ounces of a reliable
spreader, such as Vastol OTC, Orvus,
or Lethane; one quart of cottonseed
oil, and 25 gallons of water, prefer
ably from a pond or stream.
The other formula calls for 6
ounces of yellow copper oxide, 1
quart of self emulsified cottonseed
oil. and 25 gallons of water, prefer
ably from a pond or stream.
If the spray treatment is used, it
should be started when the plants are
the size of a dime, or larger. The
fumigants are best applied when
blue mold makes its first appearance
in the community.
Complete directions for blue mold
control are contained in Extension
Circular No. 229, which is free upon
request to the Agricultural Editor
at State College, Raleigh.
/{cut Data For Seeding

crop are usually set out in February
