QUESTION : How can I get rid of a weed in my lawn that has prickly spines? ANSWER: What you speak of is probably soliva sessilis, a weed that blooms early in the spring and later develops spines or thorns that become uncomforta ble to the bare feet. Applications of 2, 4-D at the rate of three quarters pound per acre during the early blooming state should control the pest. QUESTION: How can I stop birds from eating my grapes? ANSWER: There is no known repellent. You can shoot them, but more will come to take their place. Your best bet is to cover the grape arbor entirely with a fine mesh cloth, such as mosqui to netting. In the event that Blue Jays are your worst offenders, you may find some element of success in shooting seveial and hanging their carcasses on or near the arbor. But this is not effective in the case of song birds. NOTICE OF RESALE Under and by virtue of the po wer of sale contained in an or der for resale made by E. A.

How many times have the Governors of North Carolina been, called up on to appoint a United States Senator? "The recent appointment of Senator Alton Lennon of Wil mington raised that question. The answer: Six times. ? And three of the appointments have been necessary since late in 1947 when Senator Josiah W. Bailey died in office. The first appointment occurred in 1858 when Senator Asa Biggs of Williamston resigned to ac cept appointment as a Federal Judge. He was succeeded by Thomas L. Clingman of Hunts ville. The next instance Occurred in 1894, when Senator Zebulon B. Vance diedand Thomas J. Jarvis -was appointed io succeed him. Oddly enough. Jarvis had suc ceeded Vance once before. Vance, according to the records, was elected to the Senate by the North Carolina Legislature while he was in the middle of a term as Governor. Vance resigned the governorship and Lieutenant Governor Jarvis became Gover nor. Thirty-six years passed and Senator Lee S. Overman died in office in 1930. Cameron Morri son was appointed to succeed Overman. Then came the death of Bailey in 1947 and the appointment of William B. Umstead. Senator J. Melville Broughton died in 1949 and was succeeded by Dr. Frank P. Graham. The appointment of Senator Lennon, following the death Of Senator Willis Smith, T0rm4*-out the list.

Foote Mineral's Chaimtan Meyer Predicts Production Increase Here PHILADELPHIA, Pa. ?"Earn- f ings of Footc Mineral Company I for the first haif are slightly' lower than last year due to ex pected costs incident to the con struction and start up of new plants", H. C. Meyer, chairman, said in discussing results for the first six months. The newly constructed lithium ore milling and concentrating fa cilities at Kings Mountain, N. C., were largely completed during the second quarter. These enlarg ed facilities have, in the last two months, reached a satisfactory rate for the production of lithium ore concentrates. Even better pro duetior. is expected during the last half. The lithium chemical plant at Sunhright, Va. is enter ing the tune-up period and should get into regular operation during the next few months. Net sales for the first half were $3,884,876 compared with $3,990. 133 in the first half of 1952 The small decrease in sales volume was largely due to the company's temporary inability to fully sup ply the expanding market for lithium chemicals and ores. This situation should bo corrected by increased production itvthe corn ing half year. Net earnings for the first six months of this year were $156. 488, equivalent, after preferred dividends and estimated taxes, to $.57 per share of common stock on the shares outstanding as of June 3". i953. The similar period of 1952 showed earnings of $167, 119 amounting to $.61 per share after adjustment to include shares issued as a 2 % stock divi dend in May, 1953. The usual non recurring costs of preparing and starting up a new plant affected earnings adversely during the first half, particularly at Kings Mountain. The major part of these expenditures should be nearly completed at Kings Moun tain although there will be im portant ones during the second half at Sunbright. Increases in both sales and earnings are expected during the last half as the new plants ap proach estimated capacities. Mr. Meyer said that one supporting factor for this prediction is that current market estimates con tinue to confirm the high demand for lithium ores and chemicals indicated by the original studies on which the expansion was bas- 1 ed. He pointed out that similar studies are a continuous part of the long term development pro gram designed to promote fur ther growth. During the first half of 1953 the company con siderably increased Its geological and exploratory activities Cer-' tain of this work is being done In conjunction with a grant from the Defense Minerals Exploration Administration. Work of this na< ture not only definitely proves the value of present leases on lithium - bearing lands but leads to the acquisition of additional ones. The company is intensifying ufu.8earfh not on,y ,or further lithium-bearing deposits but for' other minerals of interest to Foote both in this country and abroad.

The program is designed to provide trained personnel, the physical facilities and the markets for fu ture growth. North Carolina tobacco farm ers will market approximately 885,225,000 pounds of flue-cured leaf this year, only 1.4 per cent below that of 1952 despite the 7 per cent acreage drop. F Needle Blights Of Pine Curable i I "If you !ia\y a pine tree afflict ed with a fundus needle blight, there is no need to cut it down because it's not likely to die ~ and you may be able to cure it." says Howard Clapp. Cleveland County farm agent. Needle blights of Southern hard pines and the Eastern white pine are commonly caused by several fungi. Needles of the blighted pines die back from their tips for varying distances, but the bases often remain green, giving the needle bundles the appear ance of having been partially dip ped in brown paiint. Early stages of fungus blight can be recognized by spots or bands of discolored tissue in the green healthy pa i*ts of' the need les. If needles have completely died back fungus blight can often be recognized by holding the lea ves to the light to show up tra^iS: lucent resin spots and bands caused by the Infection. - Fungus blfghts can be controll ed. according to Mr. Clapp. by spraying with Bordeaux mixture at the strength recommended by the manufacturer, or the organic fungicides Ferbam or Ziram at rates of 2 pounds per 100 gallons of water. Sprays should be re peated every few weeks from May until Septembei, White pine blight, the cause of which is not known, should not be confused with fungus blights. This disease is confined to eastern white pine, as the name suggests, and since its cause is unknown no specific controls can be sug gested. Fungicidal sprays have proved to be ineffective in com bating it. Affected trees turn a reddish - brown color in mid MIGHTY MITES' MATCHES ANP LI6HTEP CIGARETTES j CAUSE V3 OF ALL OUR FIRES ! lb help make YOUR home, safe '?

Early needle shedding and reduc tion in shoot growth are also characteristic. Fertilizing and wa summer because of partial dying tering will do no harm and may help trees to recover from white pihe blight. he suggests. North Carolina's hurley tobacco acreage for harvest this year is estimated at 11,300 acres, 6 per cent below the 12,000 harv.ested last year.
