Suggests Treatment
For 'Frozen* Trees
Coal pile* are not the only thine
that suffered from the freezing wea
ther of the winter just past. The un
usual cold periods were especially
hard on fruit trees, says H. R. Nis
wanger horticulturist of the State
College Extension Service, who has
prepared some recommendations for
treatment of injured or "frozen"
In the first place, he explains that
the most common form of injury was
the killing of the thin layer of bark,
known as the cambium tissue, where
all growth starts. The frozen areas
can be detected by noting places on
the tree where the bark is split all
the way to the heart of the tree;
where the bark takes on a dark col
or, especially at the base of the trunk;
by sunken areas of the bark; and by
separation of the thin bark from the
sap and heart wood.
"Trees which are not too severely
injured should have all the loose
bark of frozen areas removed," Nis
wonger advised. "Cut back to the
live wood, and make tapering cuts or
wedges in the live tissue above and
below the wound. This will leave a
boat-shaped scar. Hie wound or sear
should be painted with Bordeaux
paste or with white lead paint in or
der to prevent entrance of wood-rot
ting fungi.

Infertile Eggs Keep

Get rid of. or pen up the roosters

C. r. Parrish, head of the Poultry
Extension office at N. C. State Col

raisers for the month of May.
"The male birds are of no use in
the flock after hatching is complet
ed, so sell them, eat them, or at least
separate them from the hens,' the
specialist said.
He pointed out that infertile eggs
keep much better than fertile eggs
in the summertime. Gather the eggs
oftan in wire baskets, especially in
the broody hen season, and this will
help to cool the eggs quickly. The
eggs should be left in the wire bas
kets overnight, before packing in
cartons or cases for marketing.
Continuing his advice, Parrish said,
"If a cool moist room is not avail
able for holding the eggs until mar
keting time, construct an egg cool

covered with burlap on one or more

L. LEE GRAVELY
C N. Castleberry of Jonesboro Says:
LEE GRAVELY points out in one of his speeches that the tohucco fanners of North Carolina stand to lose this
fall between fifty and sixty millions of dollars on their tobacco crop, due to the loss of markets oil account of
the European war and other causes, und suggests tliut our Congressional delegation press for legislation author
ising the Federal Government to lend the British Government four hillions of dollars on good security the Brit
ish Government already has in this country with which to buy our cotton und tobacco, lie predicts that if this
loan is put through, our cotton und tohacco will he selling in ninety days for IB and 25 t'ents respectively, und
we farmers will have in our pockets this full over sixty millions of dollars more money.
I have checked Mr. Gravely's proposition und find it sound. Some people say tliut the suggestion is good, hut
if carried through will put our country in the European wur. My reply to this statement is?Nonsense. Why
should selling cotton and tobacco to the countries ul wur put us in the wur any more than would selling them
airplanes?
FELLOW FARMERS, we will be ruined this fall if we fail to find markets for our cotton and tohucco.
Lee Gravely is a practical tobacco nun and is the only candidate for Governor who knows the tohucco luisiucss
from the farm to the factory. In the present serious situution we need as Governor such a man who understands
our problem. 2^?
With the European war in full swing, we cannot afford to postpone aeurching for new markets for our cotton and
tobacco. I have more than twenty-four people on my farm, who ure dependent upon cotton und tobacco for mon
ey with which to buy shoes, clothes, school books, and puv doctors' bills, etc.
Unless we have markets for our cotton and tohucco, sturvulion prices will follow und we will he ruined.
