•‘When your children ask in time
to come saying, what mean ye by
these stones?, Uien ye shall say un
to them. Because the waters of the
Garden were ciit off before the ark
of the Covenant of Jehovah. When
it passed over the Jordan .,. these
stones shall be for a memorial unto
the children of Israel forever.” —
Joshua 4:6-8.

Like a door without a latch-string.
Like a fence with a stile.
Like a dry and bai^'en creek bed—
Is a face without a smile.
Like a home without a door yard.
Like a yard without aiflower.
Like a clock withlmt^ mainspring.
That will never liMl tlife hour;
A thing that sort u'^mKkes you fe^
A hunger oil thhvWhae,
Oh, the saddest sHw tbrt ever was
Is a face withoii^a^^rffle. •' -ur
The face of man w^s built for
smiles.
An’ thereby he iU blest
Above the critters sof the field.
The birds and all the'rest;
He’s just a little Iwer
Than the ang^ibli skies.
And the reason is that he can
smile—
Therein his gloiy HeS!
So smile an’ don’t.,fprge| to smile.
An’ smile an’ siUiUe agin;

TIME
We have a plant disease clinic at
State college which renders a real
service to the people. In an aver
age year, over 2,000 specimens are
received for dktgnosis «nd recom-
mendsfd controls. IMoMnmately,
nmny «f the ipeeb»«ns arrive in
«ncih fmor eondltkm ibat positive
dimmosfai is dtSteult. Observe tiwse
instmetioBs for tollecting, packbig
and maliing:
Send a r^asentative smr]^.
When it Is necessaty to smid an
entire plant, dig it out so that the
root system will not be damaged,
In many oases, the trouble may be
in the root system biit expressed
in tile top growth.
Fleshy fruits pad vegetaMes
should be collected in the first
stages of disease infection rather
than advanced stages. Cankers
from shrubs and trees shouM also
be collected in the first stages of
infection. Branches and twigs that
have been dead, for seveial montbs
are useless for disease identifioa-
tion. All samples :tiiould be sent in
fresh and showing as many stages
of the disease as possible.
Wrap plants in mmstened paper
and cover with waxed paper or
aluminum foil—don’t overcrowd
or crush. Vegetable and fruit speci
mens should be wrapped separate
ly in waxed paper as moisture may
hasten decay in transit. Pack in a
rigid container to prevent crush
ing. Identify package both inside
and out—inside label should not
come in contact with moisture. Ad
dress package to Plant Disease
Clinic, Box 5397, State College Sta
tion, Raleigh, N. C. Time your mail
ing so that package will arrive
Monday through Friday, rather
than over the weekend.
If you live near Raleigh, your
specimens may be delivered direct
ly to the clinic. Department of

Nematodes Take Heavy Toll
Froiri Most of Home Gardens
By WILLIAM S. LAMM
Nematode control is the biggest
problem of the home gardener.
Losses due to nematodes in
North Carolina home gardens have
averaged at least two end a half:
million dollars annually for tiie
past sevend yem, which vrovOd'
mean that Wayne «wmty*s less
would be many, many thousands ef
dollars.
Chemical soil treatment is the
most satisfactoiy method of re
ducing the nematodes. Fumigants
sudi as DD, :^B, etc., are vola
tile and can be applied with no
apecial applicators. A quart fruit
jar with two small nail holes
punched In the lid can be used to
pour the fumigant into the open
fuiTow. The furrow should be cov
ered immediately after the fumi
gant Is applied.
For small home gardens the fur-'
row may be opened with a hoe.
However, the ideal way Is to use' a
turn plow and apply the fumigant
in eadi furrow as It is opened. As
the next furrow is plowed you will
cover the first furrow. This is call
ed the broadcast method. Dragging
a board over the soil then would
help seal in the fumigant. Tractor
applicators are available and are
better for larger gardens.
Methyl bromide is an excellent
fumigant that will kill weed seeds
and disease in the soil. However,
to apply this material you must
have a gas-tight plastic cover and
special applicator. This is the
same material and equipment ma
ny farmers use to fumigate tobac
co plant beds. This material should
be applied several days prior to
'Seeding time.
SPACE AGE
Malitni, Calif.'-Bheriff’s officers
bene logged something new in tiie
way of travel hazards recently;
a collision involving a horse and
an airplane.
Itobert Goodyear, 4B, glided in

his light plane ran out of gas. A
horse galloped into the craft’s patt
and they collided.
The horse was killed. Goodyear’s
plane was wrecked, and the pilot
and his wife, Mary, 46, suffered
cuts and bruises.
