Potash Deficient In Most Soils Of State Farmers are thinking of their 1941 fertilizer needs, and J. R Piland. associate soil chemist of N. C. State College, reminds growers that the majority of North Carolina soils are deficient in potash. This is es pecially true, he says, in soils where cotton, corn, tobacco and vegetable crops of the Coastal Plain are grown. "In the fertilization of cotton where cotton rust is prevalent, the use of fertilizers containing 5 to 8 percent potash has fnaterially in creased yields," Mr. Piland reports. "Sometimes, under severe conditions of rust, side dressing with potash has proved beneficial." Hie chemist says that, in general, the soils of the Coastal Plain are relatively low in their potash re serves, especially under conditions of inadequate fertilisation Tobacco has a high requirement for potash, and usually there is a noted re sponse of the crop to this element with regard to the quality of the leaf produced The tobacco fertiliz er grades now recommended seem to furnish sufficient potash for the production of the crop in most soils. Explaining the symptoms of pot ash deficiency, Mr. Pialnd says, "Potash deficiency is usually accom panied by yellowing of the leaves of the plant, with development of brown spots and death along the Whv Women Close Eyes W hen Kissed Why do most women close their eyes when kissed, especially when the kisses are the soulful kind? The Better Vision Institute at tempts to answer that question by saying hat the action is partly an emotional reflex, and partly a con scious effort to shut out anything that might distract the attenion When women are happy, they cry. When they are sad, they cry. That's an emotional reflex acting upon the eyes, over which there is little vol untary control Likewise, the droop ing of the eyelids in a woman about to be kissed is an emotional reac tion. However, women consciously aid their eyes to close. The eyes, points out the institute, are constantly re ceiving visual impressions. By clos margins -of -the. leaves. Cotton, to bacco, corn, soybeans, small grain, vegetables, and fruits are all sub ject to potash deficiency which can easily be identified by its character istic leaf pattern." 4 The State College man suggests that where such conditions were noted in crops in 1940. farmers should plan their fertilization pro gram for 1941 so as to eliminate this trouble again. He urges tobacco far mers, especially, to consider the ef fect that potash might have on the quality of their crop. Poultry Truck Every TUESDAY AT JAMESVILLE 9 to I0:4H? a. in.

Captain David Margesson (left), one-time floorwalker in a Chicago department store and for ten years the government whip in Commons, replaces Eden as War Minister. British Commander in Greece Sir Archibald Wavell, commanding the British army in the Middle East, is shown (wearing field boots) chatting with a British engineer sergeant about the construction of gun emplacements somewhere in Greece. In background is one of the big anti-aircraft gut)s landed in Greece by the British, one of the powerful reasons for the successful counter-offensive by the valiant Greeks. Narrow Plant Bed iIndustrial Injuries Is Recommended To Eyes Reduced four good icanons for construct ing a narrow tobacco plant bed are listed in pre-season recommenda tions to tobacco growers by Dr. Lu ther Shaw, plant pathologist of N. C. State College. He also suggest* the importance of the proper loca tion for the plant bed. "If the tobacco bed is built nar row," Dr. Shaw said, "more plants are produced per square yard; the danger of trampling on plants while weeding or pulling is avoided; the plants can b*- watonvt more easily and uniformly, and ft'ur, and most important, narrow &eds can be equipped and treated for blue mold with more satisfactory results than wide ones." The plunt pathologist recommends that the plant bed be 5 feet 8 inches wide to allow the standard six foot cover to fit snugly when the fumi gation method is used to control blue mold. A pathway 18 inches to 2 feet wide should be left between adjacent beds. "The benzol or paradichloroben zene fumigation methods are the best for controlling blue mold," Dr. Shaw declared. "Copper-oxide ing her eyes a woman shuts out her visual contact with everyday ob jects, relaxes and slips into a world of make-believe.?? But nig the past decade eye injur-; ies in industrial occupations in New York State have been reduced by one-third, according to the Better Vision Institute. From 1825 t<? 15)30 the average annual number of eye accidents reported under tin- com pensation law was 2,974 Since 1930 eye injuries have declined and in 1938 there was a total of 1 843 com pensated cases. However, the eco nomic loss is still considerable. In 1938 the direct financial cost of the *1,843 eye accidents in compensation and medical benefits amounted to $1,185,000. spray is also satisfactory when ap- j plied in advance of the first appear ance of the disease on the farm. The spray acts best as a preventative, while the fumigants will kill the mold after it has infected the plant b< -d." The State College specialist also suggests that the plant bed be lo- ! rated convenient to a source of wa- 1 ter ,and preferably near the house, because constant attention is re quired during the development of the young plants. "It is also desir able," he says, "to locate the beds so that they will be protected as much us pniisihle from strung wind* N-0-T-I-C-E-! <-it> lirrnw plate* arc now for Mile al the Town Office.
