We have also succeeded in having State Highway designation 284 changed to Federal 278 which will be of great benefit to Us in routing travel North for Florida and South from here. We also have assurance from the Pisgah National Forest author ities that they will build a recrea tion center, picnic facilities, etc., near the Sherwood Forest. We have attended many meetings locally as well as in other places in connection with matters of gen eral interest. Your secretary has attended and has spoken before several of the farm groups as well as other organizations. We have handed and mailed put hundreds of pieces of printed matter, have kept a visitors' regis ter, have prepared a long mailing list from our correspondence and register, have helped in planning for and entertaining the Masonic Conclave, planned for the proposed dedication of the Pat k with the President's passing through. We have worked with the Merchant Division in planning and putting over the Fall Bargain Festival. the decorating of the streets for Christmas time, Santa Claus, etc. In all of our efforts we have had the most helpful co-operation of all organizations and groups as well as The Waynesville Moun-. taineer. . ..

We would like to call your at tention to the fact that out of approximately 3,500 license plates sold during the year, 2,000 from out of the county. We watched this rather closely and practically every person who came in from; out of the county spent money In Waynesville some of them con siderable amounts.

Simple chemical treat ment concerts this tasty purgative into an oil which serves many of the purposes of tung oil in paint and varnishes. Perhaps it may upset the Orient's near monopoly on this essential paint oil. FVho would shop while the driver was buying his license. Filling! station and auto supply places really reaped quite a sum from, these people as well as the other business houses in the community. Naturally the greater portion of the people would not have traded in Waynesville if it were not for the fact they had to come here to buy their state license plates. Yours cordially, J. DALE STENTZ, Secretary. TIMELY Farm Questions and Answers Question: How much wed bed should be provided for planting ten acres of tobacco? Answer: It generally requires about 100 square yards of seed bed for each two acres of tobacco to be planted. However, due to the prevalence of blue mold, most growers have been seeding about one and one-half times as much as is required in order to be sure of enough healthy plants. One level teaspoonful of seed, if evenly sown over the bed, will be suffi cient for each 100 square yards. Question: What is the best method for ridding my cattle of lice? Answer: The following reme dies have proven very effective In controlling eattte lice: (1) A four per cent solution of creolin applied with a spray pump or brush; (2) Cotton seed oil and kerosene, equal parts; and (3) Ground sabadilla seed and flowers of sulphur, equal parts, applied in powder form. Oils should be used in very warm or very cold weather. They should be applied with a stiff brush and distributed in a thin even layer over the surface of the body. When the powder i9 used, the hair should be clipped from the affected parts of the body and the powder ap plied only on the clipped parts. A second treatment should be given within fifteen days to kill lice which hatch after the first treatment. Question: Should vegetables be treated before planting? Answer: While seed treatment is not a cure-all for plant diseases yet it is effective' in deRtrovinir disease-producting organisms in and on the seed. Its great effec- tiveness becomes apparent whem followed by other methods such a sanitation, rotation, spraying and dusting, and the use of dis ease resisiait varieties. Methods for the treatment of various seeds are given in Extension Circular No. 231 "Growing Early Vegeta ble Plants" and a copy of this may be had free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at Stats College. Question: How much land should be prepared for a home garden ? Answer: This depends upon the size of the family and to some extent on the crops desired. One tenth of an acre will produce an abundance of vegetables for one person and leave some surplus for canning. However, If such crops as watermelons, eantalounes. Irish and sweet potatoes are crown in the garden proper, then a slight ly larger acreage will be needed. If these are grown outside the garden, half an acre of land will be sufficient for a family of five.
