A: Spraying with arsenate of lead is the most satisfactory method of control. It may also be applied as a dust but most tobacco growers pre fer to apply it as a spray by means of a horse-drawn sprayer. The spray is coin posed of from two to four pounds of arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of water, which will spray about one acre. Sometimes it is ne ri. .siry to l ake two or three appli .at. ops.

O State College Hints for Farm Homemakers By RI'TH CURRENT N. C. State Collect J If shoes are "treed" or stuffed j with paper wads at night to preserve i their shape, polished regularly to j save the leather, and taken to the j shoemaker for repair before they are "too far gone", they will not ! only last longer but also look far better. Summer brings a word of warning on moth protection for winter wool, ens, coats, sweaters, suits, dresses blankets, rugs and upholstery. This task should be carefully done before the moth begins to lay her eggs. Good Care for Wool: Keep it clean. When wool gathers much soil, it is harder to bring back that spick-and-span look. Perspiration weakens wool. Grit cuts it. Spots are moth bait. Give it the air. A gentle airing blows stale odors away and lifts matted nap. Sun baths rout moths from wool but take care lest colors fade. Mend it in time. Tiny holes de serve careful mending and are eas ier to hide than big holes. If a thin place is reinforced it may never break through. Don't shock it. Wool can't stand sharp temperature changes. A plunge into hot water shrinks the fibers and mats them. Drying in cold blasts of air or by a hot stove shrinks and hardens the fabric. Once the com forting softness is gone, it's gone. Protect it from pests. There are likely to be some clothes moths or carpet beetles in tlmost any home, I at any time of the year. Keep them down and out. When you take good care of wool things, you benefit three ways.VThe wool keeps its fresh, fluxy look. It holds its friendly warmth. It gives longer wear. O 4-II Contest. The National 4-H Leadership Con test will be held again this year and L. R. Harrill, State Club Leader at N. C. State Colics nks all club mem hers to take part in the contest.

O Howard Baucom, a student at Pennsylvania State College of Op tometry, Philadelphia, came home last week to attend the senior class graduating exercises at the Hoke High School, of which class his sis ter Gladys was a member. He re turned to Philadelphia Friday night to resume his studies. Beef Cattle Win Fight Against Bowl Weevils At Enterprise, Alabama, cotton growers erected a monument to the boll weevil but here in North Caro lina. E. L. Ward of Edenton has built a fine herd of commercial beef cattle on a practical basis which any grow er can follow says L. I. Case. Exten sion Animal Husbandry Specialist at N. C. State College. About ten years ago, according to the beef c.ttle specialist, the boll weevil caused Ward such losses that he decided to alter his farming prac tires and put in some beef cattle. Ward bought a few scrub cows, cost ing froti $15.00 to $25.00 per head, and mated them to a purebred Hert ford bull. Soon his pasture was full of "White-faced" calves and each year he kept the best heifers for breeding. Today Ward has 40 Hertford cows and 35 head of yearlings. He practi res systematized breeding and his en tire calf crop is dropped during the months of March and April. He grows a large acreage of temporary. gl azing crops for both the winter ' and the summer, and this practice helps to keep his feed costs at a low i level. When Extension Specialists visited 1 the Ward farm recently, they found the cows and calves grazing on oats and crimson clover and the yearlings were running on about 50 acres of crimson clover which was around four inches high. The cattle had ac cess to all the hay they wanted and they were getting only a small amount of grain. ' The cattle came through the win- : ter in excellent condition and they have enough temporary grazing crops to carry them until the time j when the permanent pastures are lush. Then, later on there will be lespedeza and soybeans for the cows when the pastures become short again. As Case says. "An abundance of feed is the secret of the beef cat tle business." O Poultry. On account of the feed shortage, lYof. Roy S. Dcarstyne rf N. C. State rollere urges that laying flocks be culled closely. O ! Combine. ( ?Tow is the time to take the com j bine out of storage and give it a pre- j harvest check, says J. D. Bickle, Ag ricultural Engineering Extension Specialist at N. C. State College. HOGS The Bureau of Agricultural Econ omics has advised hog producers not to increase breeding for the 1913 fall pig crop more than 15 per cent over the number of fall pigs raised in 1942. BROILERS The War Food Administration has advised poultrymen not to make any further expansions in commer cial broiler production. The na tion's feed resources, particularly the proteins, must be conserved. lil II Mi ri i inn minim whim' i i I irrBwrr" " 1 1 Cur miSl will fce closed after 12 o'clock, noon cn each Saturday, be ginning May 22nd, 1943.
