B QUESTION: Can you give me in
formation on control of the potato
tuber wife? tfefrgw^jjpi.
ANSWER: The adults of the po
tato tuber moth lay their eggs on
exposed potatoes, especially at harv
est time when the tubers are left
exposed overnight, says James T.
Connor, Jr., Extension entomologist
at State College. At hazveot time, to
prevent the caterpillar from migrat
ing from the wilting vines to the
potatoes, the infested vines should
be cut and burned, or removed from
the field a few days before digging.
Conner says that the potatoes should
never be left exposed to the
laying moths during late afternoon
or overnight. Put the potatoes im
mediately into storage and destroy
all culls. When potatoes in storage
are infected, they most be fumigat
ed with carbon disulphide for 48
hours when the temperature is above
66 degrees?with 6 ' pounds of the
material to 1,000 cubic feet of space.
Several fumigations are required
for effective control.
QUESTION: Whet are tlte chief
causes of forest fires?
ANSWER: A breakdown or cause
record of ell forest fires in the Unit
ed States shows the following : peo
ple who set firos, 15,376; smokers,
12,569; debris burners, 7,680; miscel
laneous, 7,876; lightning, 6,718; rail
roads, 4,307; campers, 1,864; and
lumbering, 936. During ens pear
4,167 persons were prosecuted for
violations of the state fire laws.
Carelessness causes many fires not
only in the forests but also around
farm homes and buildings.
Carlot shipments of sweet potatoes
from North Carolina last year were
889 as compared with 9,072 from
