Clothes Moths:
Now that spring is on the
way, housewives should watch for
clothes moths. The flying adult
looks very much like what people
used to call candle moths. The
adult does not eat anything but
lays from 100 to 300 eggs on wool
clothing, upholstery, rugs, etc. The
eggs hatch into little brownish
worms in from 4 days to 4 weeks
depending upOn the warmness
or coldness of the weather. These
little worms are destructive. They
eat ravenously on whatever they
find at hand until they reach ma
turity and in turn become adult
moths. Complete information on
how to control clothing moths
may be had from leaflet No. 145,
“Clothes Moths” from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington 25, D. C.

Home Fruits:
Strawberry lants should be mul
ched now. Pine needles are good
mulching materials. Fruit trees
should be sprayed now. Get a
spraying schedule from the office
of your County Farm Agent. If
you have inadequate home fruit
you should run the risk of set
ting trees and plants, even though
it is rather late in the season.

Vegetable 'Gardens:
If you want to have your early
set plants to start growing promp
tly Mr. John Harris, Extension
Specialist of State College says
to use around each plant one
half to one pint of a starter so
lution. This solution may be made
by disolving one pound of 5-7-5 or
5-10-5 commercial fertilizer in 8
to 10 gallons of water. If you pre
fer you may use 5 gallons of cat
tle or horse manure or one gal
lon of poultry or sheep manure
to 5 gallons of water. If you use
the manure solution allow the mix
ture to stand for two or three
days before using the liquid.
Before planting small seed
smooth the bottom of the furrow
by running a wheel down the row
or pack it with the hoe handle.
Cover seed lightly and firm the
soil but do not pack it.
If you use a heavy application
of manure apply 2 quarts of com
mercial fertilizer to a 100 foot row.
Increase fertilizer to 3 to 5 quarts
where only a little manure is used.
Mulching garden vegetables
helps to conserve moisture and
. also helps to keed down grass
and weeds. v

Home Garden For Family of Five”

diagram gives the proper distance
between the rows, the number of
feet of rows of each vegetable and

Enfield Mayor's
Car Is Stolen
Enfield—Among cars stolen over
the State during the week was
that of Mayor E. E. Stallings,
of Enfield. Two sailors came in
to town early one morning last
week on a Virginia licensed car,
stopped in front of the Mayor’s
house and one got in his parked
car and drove it off. About five
miles from town the two cars
were wrecked and left on the side
of the road. The sailors, walking
to town were picked up by Leon
Neville and given a ride to town,
saying they were from Texas, and
had been up the country visiting
relatives. It is thought they took
a bus from Enfield. No arrests
have been made. The Stallings car
was badly damaged in the wreck.
A wallet, found in the Virginia
licensed car, contained insurance
papers belonging to an agent of
Roanoke Rapids, but it was not
his car.
