Red CroH? Gels Receipts for
The Delivery of 100.
000 Bundles
.Washington. D. C. ? One of the
bright spots in the European war is
the way in which the American Red
Cross has been able to ship more
than 100.000 food boxes to Allied
prisoners inside Germany.
Not only has the American Red
Cross been able to report safe deliv
ery by the International Red Cross
at Geneva but American donors of
the food boxes are getting postcard
receipts signed by the prisoners
Within a broader program in
which the American Red Cross pro
vides food packages, clothing and
comfort articles for general distri
bution among Allied prisoners, spec
ial food packages are sent at $2 40
each to identified prisoners on be
half of lrlends and relatives in this
country.
Despite disrupted postal commun
ications. more than 2.000 receipts
have c >nit back to Washington. They
are passed on to donors through lo
cal chapters.
From the cards of gratitude that
are beginning to come in. Red Cross
food packages are meaning quite a
bit to the estimated 3,000.000 Allied
prisoners confined behind barbed
wire here and there in Germany.
At Geneva, the American Red
Cross maintains a reserve of food
packages which are shipped from
this country via Lisbon. At Lisbon a
Red Cross boat, sailing under spec
lal agreement between belligerents,
'carries the packages to Marseilles,
i where they are routed to Geneva.
The food packages weigh 11
pounds Their contents have been
carefully chosen by nutrition experts
familiar with customary deficien
cies in prison diets. Here's what they
contain:
One 14-ounce can of irradiated I
'evaporated milk, one 8-ounce pack
age of hardtack, an 8-ounce tin of
cheese, one 8-ounce tin of instant
Icocoa, one 15-ounce tin of sardines,]
a 12-ounce tin of pork. 12-ounce tin j

Romance for Slugger?

Plowing Under Of
Stalks Is Effective
In Fighting Insects
???
Plowing under cotton and tobac
co stalks is a simple, effective means
of combatting hordes of insect pests
that will attack these two major
cash crops next year, says J. O. Row
ell, extension entomologist of N. C.
State College.
Many tobacco stalks have already
been killed but those growers who
still have stalks growing in the
fields should act immediately in de
stroying them.
Rowell said tobacco stalks devel
op suckers, which furnish a food
supply for large numbers of flaa
beetles, horn worms, bud worms,
and other destructive pests until
froet.
If the development of these suck
ers is prevented, most of the insects
will starve to death or will go Into
winter hibernation so weak they can
not emerge the following spring and
lay eggs for the 1942 crop of pests. A
good cover crop should follow the
stalk plowing.
Cotton farmers, now sending their
lint to market, should take the same
precautions, Uie State Collage spec
ialist said. Every effort should be
made to pick the cotton as soon as
possible, and then destroy all stalks
with a good stalk cutter. Then the
land should be plowed, disced, and
sown to a winter cover crop.
This procedure will prevent the
late development of boll weevils and
will do more than any other one
thing to insure fewer weevils in 1942.
It is one of the simplest methods of
weevil control. Especially is this im
portant this fall, since weevils stofl1
ed one of their biggest attacks In
years on the 1941 cotton crop.

his own advantage next year.
