July 3 With the exception of
Irish potatoes, forwardlnngs of
fruits and vegetables from south

ally light during the past week,
according to the Food Distribu

Virginia and North Carolina pota

some areas supported by WFA

moving from nearly all Southern
states. Other carlot shipments in
cluded tomatoes, cucumbers, can
taloups and peaches. .
Southern cattle markets held
steady following recent declines,
as supplies remained very light
At the end of the week slaughter
tops in Tennessee and Kentucky
ranged from $14.75-15.00; Georgia,
Florida, and Alabama $14.00.

FIGHTING ' ' .
Saving food is one of the most
effective ways for the average
citizen to help win the wax.
Summary
A shortage of lead arsenate nas
recently developed in some tobac
co areas and many growers are
worried about their insect control,
especially horn worms. If lead
arsenate is not available, spraying
should not be delayed because
other insecticide, are plentiful
which will give as good control as
lead arsenate.
For the past year the Extension
Entomology Department has been
recommending Cryolite for tobac
co inset control. This material will
satisfactorily control horn worms,
flee beetles and bud worms.
Cryolite can be used to control
horn worms and. fleet beetles in
the spray or dust form. As a
spray, use one pound of Cryolite
to 10 gallons of water and apply
to tobacco at the rate of 60 to 70
canons per- acre. As a dust use a
70 to 80 Cryolite at the rate
nt 10 to 15 rounds per acre.
The dust can be bought already
mixed from some farm supply
dealers. If lead arsenate is avail
able, use it at the accustomea aos
age. Treatment should be applied at
five to seven day intervals until
control is obtained. Any appiica
tlon washed off by ram within 24
hours should be replaced at the
earliest ODDortunlty,
Th tobacco budworm can be
auccessfullv controlled by prepar
ing a poison bait using one pound
of Cryolite to 75 pounds of corn
meal. A pinch of this bait placed
in th bud of each plant win 01
fer protection equal to that of lead
arsenate bait. .-

Feed manufacturers are doing
the best job possible in mixing
feeds under the present wartime
conditions Dearystyne advises
that poultry growers supplement
these feeds with crops which are
easily produced on the farm so
that the chickens may be kept in
just as healthy a condition as pos
sible. 1 Especially In the care of
late hatched chickens this is par
ticularly important because they
are subject to a rather high rate
of mortality.

The Dairy Industry Committee
has recommended an 8-point pro
gram to North Caolina producers
for maintainine milk production
in the coming months so as to
achieve their part of the 122-bil-
lion-pound milk goal this year,
says Jonn A. Arey, in cimrRc w
Dairy Extension at N. C. State
College a an :..,,-.
With so many soldiers and their
families in this area, it is particu
larly important for North Caro
lina dairymen not only to main
tain produrtion but also to in
crease it wherever possible.
Arey emphasized the following
nr act ices: orovide abundant pas-
I tures, both temporary and perma-
ment grow; plenty 01 gooa nay anu
be sure to cut it early for good
quality; and provide abundant sil
age. -Also, he recommends that the
cows be conditioned for freshen
ing, that good roughage be tea
liberally, and that balanced ra
tions be maintained at all times.
When pastures begin to get
short, additional feed should be
given to avoid the customary sum
mer slump In- milk poductlan Dai
rymen should anticipate this peri
od for putting their cows on feed
because, if the animals show a
drop in production, they will prob
ably not be able to regain their
normal flow of milk before fresh
ening. With Uncle Sam daily calling
for more and more milk, the
calves probably should be raised
with less milk because it is too
valuable fo human consumption to
allow it to be diverted to calf rais
ing. Arey fu ther suggests that dai
rymen begin to think of putting in
some altaifa oats ana vetcn tor
hay, crimson clover, and other
crops for grazing and hay
