Double Bill With Wilson Is To Be Staged Sunday Afternoon Here The town of WiUiamston and the business houses in this section will close on Wednesday afternoon and journey to the WiUiamston baseball park, where "Slim" Gardner will ob serve his return to baseball his first try in organized ball. Gardner, a product of JamesvUle who made quite a record while pitching in the old Albemarle League, says that the game is back in his blood too strong and asked Manager Red Swain for an opportunity to display his wares "I'm in condition right now and ready to do some hitting," "Slim" told Red. and after watching the Jamesville player work out, the Mar tin skipper felt that he may have the key to the trouble of his team Along with the announcement of President Eason Lilley that all Wed nesday games scheduled at home will be played in the afternoon, be ginning at four o'clock, came the official word of Manager Swain that "Slim" would be on the mound for the locals that day, when the Kins ton Eagles would play here. Hie Mar tin County man has a number of fans who say that he will make the grade in the Coastal Plain League, despite his advanced age and long lay-off. and along with the closing of the stores a record crowd is expected on Wednesday" ufluinuutr to? walcli "Slim" Gardner and the Martins bat tle Kinston. Friday night at eight o'clock the Goldsboro Bugs will play here and on this night all ladies will be ad mitted free. And this, being Ladies' Night, another extra large crowd is expected to Watch the improvedMar tins in action. To top the climax of the week, a doubleheader is scheduled here on Sunday afternoon with Wilson. The Tubs have been a jinx to the Martins ever since they ontered tho Coastal Plain and Manager Swain says that he will make every effort possible to take both games. The first game will get underway Sunday at 1:30 o'clock. With the addition of Charlie Wil cox on the catching staff, "Slim" Gardner in the hurling department, and speedy Charlie Taylor in the outer gurden, WiUiamston has possi bly the best line-up seen here this season and it is the wish and desire of tire management that everybody support the Martins. Don't forget, "Slim Gardner Day" will be held here Wednesday after noon at 4 o'clock; Ladies' Night on Friday at 8 p. m. and a double bill here with Wilson on Sunday. Government Will Not Reduce Crops ?While acting lii prevent price sky rocketing in armament supplies, the government is equally concerned, on the other hand, with trying to bol ster sagging prices on agricultural commodities. One thing that seems sure, though, is that there won't be government price-fixing in this re gard?and especially that the ad ministration will resist the idea of further acreage reductions, although the latter has been a favorite device in recent years for bringing supply more nearly in line with diminished demand. Any efforts to relieve sag ging prices will be kept within the framework of existing laws, judging from results Of Secretary Wallace's conference with the President on the subject. How the Martins Hit The batting averages of the Williamston Martins, through Sunday, June 2, show quite a decrease over the last average printed two weeks ago. The Martins are expected to hit their stride with various changes in the personnel and an improved ball club seems in the offing. In the runs batted in column, important in any league, "Hard" Rock is the big gun with 28 to his credit. Lozier Newman follaws close behind with 22. Leon Thompson retains his position as the club's leading hitter with a .349, while Rock is runner-up with .323. Charlie Taylor, newcomer in the Martin outfield has batted .429 in his two games. Rock is also out in front in extra base clouts, having six dou bles, six triples and three home runs for 76 total bases. Red Swain, who takes his turn on the mound, in the outfield and as a pinch hit ter, has "hit for the circuit fi ve times to lead in that division. The club, with the exception of the pitchers and including^ players who have recently been released is hitting .261, which is not so good, but a good increase is expected by next week. The record follows listing games, at bat. runs, hits, total bases, two base hits, three base hits, home runs, runs batted in and bat ting percentage. G Ab R H TB 2B 3B HR RBI Pet.

Williamston scored twice in the fifth inning on two hits, an error, passed ball and fielder's choice. The Snow llill Billies counted two markers in the sixth frame as the le sult of a single, walk and McGarity's double. The score remained knotted until the eleventh when two errors and a stolen base scored the winning run. Beaird, with three hits for five at tempts, and Leon Thompson, with two for three, led the local attack. The box Saturday, June 1.

Tartoro Goes On Batting Rampage Here Last Night Slaughter Martin* Bv Score of 19 lo 2 With 22-Hit Barrage The Tarboro Cubs gamed a very definite defeat over the Martins here last night, as they combined 22 hits, four of which were homers, to score a 19-2 victory. Del Breese, went the route for the locals on the mound. Going into the ninth inning it seemed as though the Cubs had shut Williamston out, but Manager Swain went in to hit for Breese and singled. Charlie Taylor was walked, both runners scoring on Leon Thompson's drttiKU . Newman and Beaird were the only other Martins to hit safely during the affair. Bert Stotlcr, injured in Goldsboro time ago by a pitched ball, had to be removed from the game, and it is possible that he will not play any more baseball this summer, in an effort to overcome his illness.

Two Types of Insects Attack Your Flowers If insects are attacking yuur flow for a key to the method by which they can be controlled, says J O. Rowell, extension entomologist of N C. State College. "There, are, generally speaking, two major groups of insect enemies of flowers and- shrubs from the standpoint of control," he declared. "The first group are those with chew ing mouth parts, and these are con trolled, for the most part, by the use of stomach poisons. The second group includes those insects with sucking mouth parts, and these are best con trolled through the use of contact in secticides and fumigants." Rowell said that the "chewing in sects" include grasshoppers, leaf cha fers and caterpillars. Their injury usually consists of biting out portions of the leaves or stems, producing a ragged appearance or complete de foliation. Insects with sucking-mouth parts generally are very small and, therefore, difficult to identify. They IrrcTufte plant lice, scale insects and leaf hoppers. They suek the juice from the plants, causing discolora tion and stunting of the affected stems or leave*. Arsenate of lead is recommended by Rowell as a stomach poison for the "chewing insects," and a con tact insecticide of nicotine for the other group. "Certain sucking insects, like the scale insects, have a waxy coating over their bodies and makes it very difficult to reach a vital spot with chemicals. Oil emusions work best on these insects," the entomologist declared. He suggests a combination stomach poison and contact spray if there is any doubt about the kind of insect being attacked. This is prepared by adding 1 -2 ounce of soap and 1 tea spoonful of 40 per cent nicotine sul phate to each gallon of arsenate of lead solution, which is made up by mixing three teaspoonfuls of arsen ate of lead powder to one gallon of water.

COLTRAIN, Martins Defeat Billies To End Losing Streak "Hard** Rock Pay es Way To Victory W itli 3-Run Homer Charlie Taylor l.oral Attack With Two Safeties Williamston ended its nine-game losing streak in Snow Hill last Sun day afternoon as the Martins gain ed a 4-2 decision. Ted Miller, on the mound for the Martins, gave up 10 hits, walked three and struck out 4 The timely home run <?f "Hard" Rock in the first inning after Thomp- j son and Newman had been given tree trips to first, proved the margin of victory. The other Williamston score came in the ninth, resulting from two errors. Charlie "Donald Duck" Wilcox, wfyo did the receiving Sunday, turn ed in a mighty fine job and already the Martins, as well as Snow Hill, are aware of our improvement at the backstop position.

"Heat will not necessarily kill all animals, hut those which recover will have their usefulness impaired for the rest of their lives,'' Prof. Hostet ler advised. This loss of valuable work animals at a busy time of the j year is a needless waste that can be preve'-t. d by pro. ^rly feeding and (TuTing fur tTie faithful Fibres and [mutes | *l*lie animal husbandman makes the following suggest* ns for avoiding hot weather damage to workstock: Ilurses and mules should be prepared for heavy work by first starting gradually with light work until they are thoroughly seasoned and able to 'continue with the task at hand for M-vi'ta! hours at a time, u,lib orTT> t ? > i out l'of short rest periods Dining the rest periods, the work .-h-? k sltould have .hi opportumtj i > drink water After the day'.- work is over and the animals have had an opportunity to eat their evening meal they "should be turned into a good pasture for the night In the pasture there should be an ample supply of water and salt. Horse* and mules at heavy work should have additional grain and less hay, with of course grass, salt and water. On idle days, they should be fed little or no grain, depending upon the kind of hay and pasture avail able In conclusion. Prof. Hostetler said "Horses and mules that are properly fed and kept comfortable are usual ly willing and faithful workers.
