For the benefit of some of tho (
more progressive and those farmers ,
who wish to produce some of their (
food for home use I would like to j
give a few suggestions in this col
umn pertaining to gardens. Witn
the arrival of summer everyone is
familiar with the ravages of vari
ous insects upon plants. Insects and
diseases in the garden for the moat
part can be controlled by various
sprays and dusts. I would sugges;
that bordeaux dust be used for
leaf spot diseases of cucumbers, ,
melons and tomatoes. Poisoned
Bordeaux dust if good for flea
beetles on tomatoes, peppers ani
egg plant and for the striped cu- |
cumber beetle. Derris or rotenone
dust or magnesium arsenate is used ,
for the bean beetle. Apply either of ,
these materials to the under side of ,
bean leaves when the egg clusters
of the beetles are first observed.
Plant lice can be controlled with ro
tenone dust or Black Leaf 40. Ths
above materials can be obtained
from most seed dealers.
Now is the time to renew the old
strawberry patch. Run a turning
plow just at the edge of the mat
ted plant row, throwing the furrow
to the center of the vacant middle.
Run another furrow o the other
side of the row cutting past the cen
ter. This will leave a strip of plants
about 6 inches wide. Thin °ut th'i
plant row leaving a clump of plants
around 24 inches apart in order to
establish a new matted row. Smooth
out and cultivate the vacant middles.
When new runner plants begin to
form, fertilize with 2 pounds per
.100-foot row of a mixture consist
ing of equal parts of Nitrate of So
da and cotton seed meal or 5 pound*
of a 5-7-5 fertilizer.

Gala Week
Jimmy Dorsey, whose rise to the
top of the musical ladder was one
of the most rapid and dramatic in
danco band history, will arrive in
tho city o Friday morning, coming
here to conclude a series of engage
ments in North Carolina and Virgin
ia.
An office will be open at 107
South Washington Street on May 30
and members will be on duty from
that dato util June 10. There tho
guest list will be compiled and invi
tations issued. None will be givon
out by club officers, the rules stip
ulate, and no person who is not a
member of the club shall be permit
ted to extend invitations to their
friends. Through observance of this
rule officers of the Carolina Cotil
lion club expect to keep attendance
at tho German to a high standard
and to discontinue certain infringe
ments upon hospitality which havj
crept in heretofore, they say.
Plans for the German are more
elaborate than over, and those in
charge are striving for the best yet
given. An ambitious aim, older
hoadg say, "but we shall see what we
shall see," come tho night of June
10, Jimmy Dorsry and his band and

poeted from the four cornors of the
nation.
VOUR OLD-AGE INSURANCE
- i
Old-Age Insurance Benefits Will Be
Paid, Regardless of Other Income
Old-age insurance benefits will be
paid to workers who are entitled
to payment, regardless of property
or other income.
Any amount of earnings (up to
$3,000 in a single year from a. sin
glo employer) which may be placed
to a worker's credit on his Social
Security account, will entitle him to
a corresponding credit toward old
age insurance benefits. Whether he
owns a great deal of property or
non® at all, makes no difference,
whatever, in the matter of old-age
insurance. For example, a labor
foreman, has invested his savings
in a farm. He continues to worlc
aa an employee of a construction,
company for seven years after 19
36, earns wages amounting to sever
al thousand dollars, reaches the
ago of 65 and retires to live on his
, farm. No matter what his farm is
worth nor how much money he
makes from his crops, he will re
ceive a Government check for old
age insurance, every month, the rest
of his life. He might own a store
or a sawmill or a bank, but if he is
ontitled to old-age insurance under
the Social Security Act, he will get
the monthly check, just the same.
The beneficiary of an insuranca
policy may receive old-age insuracc?.
A worker who collects rent from
houses, that he owns, may receiva
old-age insurance. An employee, who
is ontitled to old-age insurance ben
efits, may operate his own store, if
he sees fit. Income from anotho
source does not affect the payment
of old-age insurance when the em
ployee is entitled to such benefits.
Under another title of the Social
Security Act —known as "Old-Aga
Assistance," there may be some reg
ulation concerning property owner
ship. But that is up to the individ
ual States. Some States have a prop
erty clause in their public assistance
laws, some do not. It is intended
that money for old-age assistance
should go to those in actual need.
But the questio of eed or of prop
erty ownership does not affect the
payment of old-age insurance on*
way or the other.

HIGHWAY TOLL
IS LESS IN 1938
Deaths From Accidents 60 Less
Than Laat Year; 69 Killed
During April
Careful driving saved the lives of
60 North Carolinians during
first four months of this year. |'
With automobile registrations ex- ,
coeding by 20,000 the number oa 1
tho roads last year, deaths from f
highway accidents dropped from 308
through April, 1937, to 248 through
April this year, Commissioner of
Revenue A. J. Maxwell announced
yesterday.
Highway accident® took 69 lives
during April, five less than in the
same months last year. Of these,
18 occurred in cities; 28 were pe
destrains; five were children play
ing in streets; six were caused by
drunken drivrs; 13 were attributed
to speeding, nine to reckless driv
ing and seve to hit-and-rul» drivers.
The State safety campaign being
waged by the Division of Highway
Safety was credited with having
brought about a reduction in the
number of fatalities, Maxwell said.
There were 611 injuries result
ing from 680 reported accidents last
month, compared with 544 injured ,
persons in 619 accidents April a a
year ago.
More complete and accurate re
porting of accidents oecuring on
roads resulted in the higher num
ber of accidents reported, it was
said: but the reduction of fatali
ties resulting indicated that the
wrecks were less severe than last
year.

A majority of growers in three !
states, California, Maryland and a
South Carolina, were shown by the j
incomplete tabulation to have oppos- j
ed the agreement. Returns from a j
